He was baptized at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Defiance, Iowa, and attended Grove Township country school. On January 11, 1954, Louis was united in marriage to Rita LaVon Reid at St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Harlan, Iowa. Three children were born to this union: Ron, Julie and David. After their marriage, they farmed east of Harlan where they remained. In addition to farming, Louis enjoyed working with stock cows. He served as a 4H Club leader and enjoyed spending time on projects with the kids. His farm and his family were his passions. He liked to keep up with current events and read the newspaper daily. He had a great aptitude for math and could effectively predict the cattle prices. He was the primary caretaker during his wife’s illness.
