Luella was born in 1865, though the month is unknown. Her father was away at war for most of 1864 and was barracked in Detroit in early 1865. Her mother, only recently married, spent the end of the war near Mattawan, Michigan.
Luella was clearly devoted to her parents and lived with them well into her 20s. In 1894, she married Elmer Straw of Rose City, Michigan and moved to Ogemaw county. They were blessed with four beautiful children. But during her fourth pregnancy, she developed pulmonary tuberculosis. Right after the birth of her youngest son, George, she was confined to the Michigan State Hospital in Traverse City, where she lived out the rest of her life.
She died as an inpatient at the Traverse City Sanitorium in 1914. Her body was returned to the Rose City cemetery for burial.
