Birth calculated from death date and age on tombstone.
First wife of William T Trapp, son of John and Mary Ann (Brockett) Trapp.
Louise (Louisa) Trapp was born 27 April 1842 as calculated from her gravestone and census records. Her parents were George Washington and Jane (Hubbard) Merry. Her father went by the name "Washington". She had five brothers and sisters: Henry Merry (1832-, Daniel Merry (1836-). Nancy Merry (1838-).Sarah J Merry (1844-),and George W Merry (1846-). Although the parents were married in Kentucky all the children were born in Illinois. The family lived in Warren, IL in 1840 and Effingham County in 1850 so it is not known which county Louise was born in.
Louise married William T Trapp on 26 Dec 1861 in Effingham County, IL. and died the 20 August 1865. Her death is not reflected in IL records of death in the IL archives so this date is taken from the gravestone. There were no known children born to this marriage. Her father, however, died shortly after she did, her mother cannot be found in the 1870 census and William T Trapp remarried in 1870 to Rosanne Flemmer in Clark County, IL but cannot yet be found in the Federal census. William and Roseanna's son, John G Trapp is listed in census records as having been born in IL in 1871 and there is no record of them in Kansas in 1875. So, it is assumed they were still in IL at that time.
This memorial may be transferred to anyone showing a closer relationship to Louise.
