parents arranged for her to attend high school in Pembroke because there was a
better educational opportunity than in her rural country high school. In the
early 1900’s, when traveling a couple of miles from home was virtually unheard
of, Louise traveled 16 miles in hopes of securing a college education. Sadly,
upon completion of high school, there was not enough money to pay for her
dream. She lived her adult life as most women of that era did—married, bore and
raised eight children, lived on a farm—and like most of her community,
struggled daily with the legacy of poverty. However, she never lost her resolve
about the benefit of education. Through hard work, diligence, and prayer,
Louise saw six of her eight children receive college degrees. Her life ended

through future generations.
