Thank you to the Contributor who took the headstone photos and to two other Contributors who provided additional information.
There is debate as to who her father was - Some suggest Dr. David Cook Fouts (ID#130123150) and other records list Eugene A. Fouts (ID# 130126144 - Burial Unknown). For the mother, some say Martha E. (Nelson) Fouts (ID# 130123162) and other records list Christine Fouts (maiden name unknown, possibly Adams, who may have remarried after Eugene died which complicates finding her) - also unknown if Christine was first or middle name.
Their suggestion:
Suggested edit: the 1900 census of Natchitoches Parish reveals parentage.
