Research Note

Birth year of 1863 based on age of 75 listed in his obituary in 1938. Actual date of birth unknown, but was likely between 1862 - 1867. Louis was apparently orphaned and bound out as a farmhand. He first appeared with the Smith family as Lewis Wood in the NYS census of 1875, listed as age 12, then in the 1880 Federal census listed as age 13. The fact that he only "aged" one year in the five year span between the state and federal census obviously casts doubt on the reliability of the reported age.
