Notes:

Military Service:
In November of 1918 Louis' parents received a telegram from the war department stating the Louis was "missing in action". In a letter to his parents dated October 8, Louis indicated he had be wounded below the knee and was sent to a hospital. This gave his parents hope that it was a mistake thinking he would not have gotten back into action so soon. As it turned out they were correct. He returned home after the war. While in Madison receiving treatment for his wounds he drowned fishing on Lake Mendota in 1924. It took 2 weeks to recover the body.
