Birth: Dec. 24, 1878 Belleville St. Clair County Illinois, USA Death: Nov. 3, 1949 Grand Chain Pulaski County Illinois, USA Christened on 26 January 1879 at the Cathedral of Saint Peter in Belleville, St. Clair Co., IL. Godparents were Johannes (or Thomas) D(indecipherable) and Lou's aunt, and probably namesake, Louisa Maurer. Lou first married Robert Brown. Their son, Joseph Elmer Brown (9 November 1900) was christened on 19 November 1900 at St. Catherine. Louise Traxler is listed as his godmother. This should be Louisa Victoria Traxler, daughter of Apollonia (Maurer) Traxler-Badgeley. Lou and Robert's daughter, Mary A. (middle name difficult to read), was born on 21 February 1902 and christened on 16 November. No sponsors are listed, but there is a note that she married in Kankakee and that they "know nothing about it." Son Robert Arthur was born on 10 May 1906 and christened on 13 August. Apollonia Traxler was his godmother. For whatever reason, he is listed in the 1910 and 1920 censuses as Arthur R. ======== ======== Lou's second husband was George Alfred Beshers.
