Louisa Rebecca Cash was the last child born to Reuben and Pheletia Cash. Born near the start of the Civil War in 1861, she was born on the family farm located just south of Rison and north of the old Mt. Elba and Toledo communities. She was named in her father's Will written in 1880 and listed in the June 1880 federal census as living at home with her mother and father in Smith Township near Mt. Elba and Toledo.

The attached obit was from the Arkansas Baptist Evangel Newspaper dated January 25, 1882. The obit was written by the Rev. James Bryant Searcy who was the pastor of Zion Baptist Church at Toledo in 1881 when Louisa was baptized. Shortly afterwards and prior to her death, Rev. Searcy moved to Little Rock to become co-editor of the Baptist Evangel (today the Arkansas Baptist). In her obit, Rev. Searcy included 3 songs he recalled Louisa singing in Church: "Sweet Home", "Gathering Home", and "Happy Home in Heaven".
