In 1940 Lou lived in Magisterial District 3, Montgomery County, Kentucky, United States with her son Clay. [17]
On 20 December 1943 Louella Neal in entry for Jack Oakley and Hildreth Walters, "Kentucky, County Marriages, 1797-1954" [7]
On 6 July 1946 Louella Neal in entry for Sherman Norris and Lucille Barnes [14]
9 October 1954 Luella Neal in entry for Marvin D Gibson and Anna Clara Barnes, "Indiana Marriages, 1811-2007" [18]
Lou passed away on 23 January 1972 in Montgomery County, Kentucky, United States of America. [1][2]
She was laid to rest in the Lovely-Amburgey Cemetery in Jeffersonville, Montgomery County, Kentucky, USA. [19]
Research Notes
In the 1930 census she lists that she first married at 37 years old. Does this mean she was never legally married to Wessley Oakley or Charlie Barnes? I haven't found any marriage records for her.
I think the "Sousan" listed in the 1900 census listed as born in March of 1881 in Kentucky was a typo and should have been Lou. [3]
