Louisa was born in Eureka, Kansas to John Harvey Moore and Robina Jane Creek.
Louisa was married to Walter Jefferson Coate on Nov. 3, 1897 in Noble, Oklahoma Territory, and they had three children.
Louisa's brother William Weaver "Will" Moore was also married to Walter's adopted sister Annie Belle Huggins-Coate.
Louisa wrote the rural news for their community for newspapers in Payne and Noble counties. She served on the school board for many years. She also kept herself busy as a Sunday school teacher in the Bethel Church. She had grubbed out land for her garden and helped to keep the machinery in repair. She also loved to cook. Having come from a family of 13 children she had a lot of experience. She frequently would have her brothers and sisters over and would easily feed a crowd of 25-30 people on any Sunday afternoon. She also canned. Her canning was so good that when some of the club ladies came to her at the time of the fair needing some canned goods, she could go into her basement and pick any jar and get a 3rd place ribbon or better. She would relax in the evening by writing poetry.
