General Notes:
There are some name variations for her given name and as a result, it is difficult to know which name was actually her birth name and which name(s) were her nicknames.
The earliest census from 1850 in the US gives her name as "Sophia."
The 1860 US Census gives her name as "Sophia."
The 1880 US Census shows her name as "Louesa."
The 1920 US Census shows her name as "Louise S."
The 1930 US Census gives her name as "Louise S."
A Birth and Christening record from Minnesota shows a daughter's name as "Amelia Louisa Maria Bleedorn."
The Minnesota Death Index indicates that her full name was Louisa Maria (Possin) Bleedorn. This coincides with the name of "Louisa M." on her gravestone. In addition, it also gives her mother's name as "Sophia" when it is believed to have been "Marie Elizabeth". This suggests that the "Sophia" name may be a nickname for both the mother and the daughter while the name of Marie or Maria may be a true given middle name.
