LOUISE CHAMPION YOUNG

1903-1948

Biography

My name is Louise Champion. I am the fourth child born to Dock and Henrietta Champion. I grew up on our family farm and learned many skills in homemaking and harvesting. As I reached adulthood, I married Otha Thomas and we became parents to a handsome son who we named Andrew. He was a perfect gift.  Our hearts were saddened when he developed a serious illness and passed away at the tender age of three.  I fought through the devastation and heart ache with the support of my parents and siblings. I thank God for them.
