Louisa M. Cloud (b. 1840, d. March 11, 1910)

Louisa M. Cloud²² was born 1840 in Indiana²³, and died March 11, 1910 in Richland Co., WI²³. She married Julius Frederick Neefe on 1860 in Richland County, WI, son of Charles Frederick Neefe and Christiana E. Leonhard.

Notes for Louisa M. Cloud:
A letter from Emma Neefe Larson was told by her uncle Gerald Neefe, that Julius Neefe's wife pronounced her name Lou-I-za (with a long I) Cloud. Gerald also said that Louisa was full-blood Indian (did not know what tribe) and smoked a corn-cob pipe.

According to Mary Lee Robertson, who has done research on Indian history: The Red Cloud & White Cloud were two large family groups of the Lakota Sioux who inhabited Southwestern Wisconsin in the 1830s and the 1840s, so Louisa may well have been a Lakota Sioux.
