Biography

Birth

Louisa was born about 1877 in Nebraska. (1920 census) She was the daughter of Peter Sampson and Elizabeth LaMere. The famous Angel De Cora and her sister Julia, were half-sisters of Louisa and lived with the Sampsons when her mother married Pete. (1886, 1889 censuses)

Name

The 1898 census gives her Hocąk name as E-nae-kee-mone-win-kaw, which is for Inekimąnįwįga, "(She) Walks Alone", which is from īnéki, "alone"; mąnį, "to walk, she walks"; -wį-, a feminine gender infix; -ga, a definite article suffix used in personal names. This is likely a Bear Clan name, as bears are typically asocial.

Her middle initial "F" is clearly entered in the 1895 census.

Marriages and Children

When Louisa was only 16, she had an affair with someone whose surname is variously rendered as "Rakeman", "Rikeman", or "Rokeman". The most likely candidate is Peter Rockman who resided in Wisconsin. Her child with him is:

Anglo Name Hocąk Name Dates Place of Birth
Madeline I. Thomas Hīnū́gā (First Daughter) 11 Jul 1894 - 16 Aug 1973 Nebraska

Louisa's first marriage was to Little Beaver Lincoln (1835-1918), many years her senior. They had the following children:

Anglo Name Hocąk Name Dates Place of Birth

Alberta 11 Jan 1912
Sgt. Abraham 10 Mar 1917 - 2 Apr 1944 Nebraska

Her second marriage was to Charles English Jr. (1867-1936). They had no issue.

Louisa died in 1946, probably near Winnebago, Thurston County, Nebraska. (Find a Grave)
