Laura Elizabeth Howe was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on February 27, 1850. Her father was Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe, an abolitionist and the founder of the Perkins Institution and Massachusetts School for the Blind. Her mother Julia Ward Howe wrote the words to "The Battle Hymn of the Republic". She was named after her father's famous deaf-blind pupil Laura Bridgman. In 1871, Laura married Henry Richards. In 1876 the couple moved with their three children to Gardiner, Maine.
