BASIC FACTS

Lou Helen Kidwell was born on 8 September 1880 in Carter Co., Tennessee.¹ She was born on 9 September 1980 in Carter Co., Tennessee.⁶ She and William Thomas Curtis were married on 1 April 1900 in Carter Co., Tennessee.⁷ She died on 9 March 1947, at age 66, in Watauga, Carter Co., Tennessee.⁸ She died on 11 March 1947, at age 66, in Watauga, Carter Co., Tennessee.¹ She was buried in Will Mottern Cemetery, Watauga, Carter Co., Tennessee.¹

Lou Helen Kidwell had reference number 42376. She was enumerated on the census in Carter County, Tennessee (1900 - 1930.) The LDS Death Record for Lou Helen (Kidwell) Curtis says that her father was Richard Kidwell and her mother was Elizabeth Hodges. I believe that given the time of Lou Helen's birth, she was the daughter of Louisa (Hodges) Kidwell. Lou Helen's granddaughter, Helen Marie (Brooks) Ledford, also confirms that Louisa (Hodges) Kidwell was the mother of Lou Helen (Kidwell).
