Notes:
A serious infectious illness early in his childhood caused speech difficulties and stuttering. Teachers preferred that he did not attend school. Most were not trained to correct speech problems in those days. His mother instructed him in arithmetic and money handling. Many people in Springboro depended on Louis to do their garden work and many outdoor chores regularly. His mother's homemade bread and a glass of milk was a special delight to him. His brother Maurice often took him to see his favorite Cincinnati Reds Baseball Team play at Old Crosley Field in Cincinnati. He was an avid fan via radio.
One faithful friend and follower was his collie dog, Lassie. Louis was born, lived, loved and died in the family farm home. Death occurred at age 73 years. [Source: Laura E.
