First name varies with sources: either "Louis" or "Lewis". "Louis" is found as used in the obituary for his wife, Alta, in reference to him. However, it should be noted that there are several census reports that use "Lewis".
Unfortunately, his own obituary and inscription only uses the initials "L.L.", so trying to determine which version is more correct is 50/50 at best.
Will use "Louis" on this memorial for the first name, with "Lewis" as the nickname, but with that caution.
