Laura Secord Moss (d. 1941) was a Canadian farmer descended from (and named for) the Canadian patriot of the War of 1812, Laura Secord. She lived in Berlin, Ontario, and lost her first husband, a Canadian pilot, during the Great War. Towards the end of the war, she established an antagonistic but oddly strong relationship with American pilot Jonathan Moss, who moved to Berlin (now a part of Occupied Canada) after the war to establish his career as an attorney in military occupation courts. The two married and eventually had a daughter, Dorothy.

Laura and Dorothy were killed (while Jonathan was at work) by a mail bomb sent to them by Mary McGregor Pomeroy, who saw Laura Moss as a traitor to their country. MacGregor was eventually arrested by U.S. forces and executed by firing squad. Moss learned of the execution while a POW in Andersonville during the Second Great War.
