Louella (Ella) Youngblood was born May 10, 1878 in Tarrant County Texas (probably Euless) and died December 8, 1930 in Ft. Worth, Texas. She died at her home on 5101 Meadowbrook Drive, where she had lived for twenty-five years. She was the fourth child of Thomas Powell Youngblood and Nancy Hettie Bates, early Tarrant County settlers who arrived between 1865 and 1870 from Jefferson County, Alabama.
Louella married Charles Ross Bardin on the 28th of January 1904 at the Baptist church in Fort Worth, Texas. Charles was born July 6, 1878 in Texas, and died September 3, 1942 in Fort Worth, Texas, outliving his wife Ella by 12 years. Charles was the sixth child and son of John C. Bardin and Louveina F. Botts who were also early settlers of Tarrant County, arriving between 1866 and 1870 from Itawamba County Mississippi.
For several years, Louella was manager of the Burk Burnett building in Fort Worth, Texas. It's located in Sundance Square at 500 Main Street. She was also the first President of the Zonta Club.
Louella was Mary Couts-Burnett's private secretary for two years. Upon Mary's death, Louella was one of five trustees for her (estimated) 4 million dollar estate. This estate was donated to Texas Christian University.
At Mary's request, a portion of the money was used to construct the library that still bears her name, which was dedicated in 1925. It's located at 2913 W Lowden Street on the TCU Campus.
The rest of Mary's estate was placed in a trust that ensured TCU's survival during the Great Depression.
