Research Notes

While Louise's Death Certificate shows her birth date as November 19, 1868, the birth record shows March 19, 1868. There is a problem with the birth record, as it was recorded as 'male' instead of 'female' and name as Louis instead of Louise. However, there could have been a son named Louis born in March, then a daughter named Louise born 8 months later, but it is unlikely that a preterm baby would have survived. It appears the Terry Burke Family Tree on Ancestry, and Find-a-Grave are using the birth date shown on her death certficate, so I've changed this profile to match.
