This newspaper article would have been dated on or near September 18, 1950 in order to celebrate Louisa's 87th birthday. She lived to 91 years age passing away August 22, the month prior to her 92nd birthday.

The town of Louise, Florida, located in Alachua County, was purported to have been named after her. My research identifies Louise, Florida as a "designated place" . . . meaning "names appearing in this class are those recognized by the U.S. Bureau of the Census based on information provided by State, county, and local governments. Alternate authoritative common names recognized by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names are recorded in subclass C4".
