Louisa was born in Berrow, Worc, England to Robert Sheen and Eliza Elizabeth Taylor. She joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in England and she came to the United States with her family. Her family came to UT in a Handcart company. She told that 1 child @ a time could ride on the handcart. However she had a younger little sister that cried when she had to walk. Louisa said that she walked most of the way so the little sister could ride. She married Herber Cortis Reed 10 May 1868 in Salem, Utah, UT, they were sealed for all time and eternity on 11 Jul 1870 in the Endowment House. They raised a large family, the 6 children being born in Salem, UT. They moved to St David, AZ and had the rest of their family. Louisa died in Tombstone, AZ. She loved her family and her daughter Ethel moved to Canada and then on to Kelso WA. I have letters from Louisa to Ethel and she constantly expressed how much she missed her and her family.
