Born on 6 October, 1867 in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, Louisa I. Billington was the daughter of Northumberland County natives, Samuel H. Billington and May (Vortie) Billington.
Her father, Samuel Billington, had been a member of Company C (the "Sunbury Guards) of the 47th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, and suffered a fractured knee while fighting with the 47th Pennsylvania during the Battle of Pocotaligo, South Carolina on 22 October 1862.
She resided with her parents and siblings in Sunbury, Northumberland County, where her father operated a boarding house in 1870.
From 1900-1910, Louisa was residing on her own in Milton; 29-year-old sister, Alice, lived with her. In 1900, they had a boarder, 73-year-old William Clingan, a farmer, living with them. On the 1920 Census, the sisters are both shown as having their "own income."
By 1920, her sister Alice had married Harry Fetzer, an iron worker. Alice and Harry lived with Louisa from 1920-40 at Louisa's home in Milton.
Louisa passed away as the result of a cerebral hemorrhage and chronic myocarditis at 539 Shakespeare Avenue in Milton, Northumberland County at 7:30 in the evening on 18 December 1943, and was interred at the Harmony Cemetery in Milton on 22 December. Her sister, Alice, served as the informant on Louisa's death certificate.
