Louie was the youngest of three daughters born to Delancy and Laura (White) Kenyon. Her father had served in the war, and never fully recovered from the "lung fever" that he contracted. The family decided to move to Pomona, California, in the hopes this would improve his health. The family eventually moved to Tacoma, Washington, as a railroad was being built, and it was felt they would find economic opportunities there. Louie's parents ran a boarding house. Delancy died in 1892.
The three sisters all married in Tacoma, and then moved to different regions of the country. Grant and Louie settled in Ellendale and had three daughters, Irma, Alice and Joyce.

From their home they could see the train coming from 30 miles away. Their home had covered-wagon tracks in front of their house that had been made decades earlier.
