His birth record confirms he was born 17 September 1854 in Antwerp, Belgium. That record also provides his given name at birth as 'Ludovicus Alexander'. Ludovicus is Latinized form of Germanic 'Hludwig', used as a baptismal name in the Low Countries, especially Belgium. Common short forms are Lode, Lou, Louis, or Ludo. Louis' parents were Alexander and Jeanette (Hartmann) Freudenthal.

The family moved to Chicago in the 1890s. In Chicago, Louis worked first as a waiter and then owned a cleaning and dying business for a time. In the 1920s and '30s, he and Emil ran an electrical contracting business.
