Profile on Longevity – Louise Troutman
There are some people you meet for the first time who make you feel as though you have always known them. Louise Troutman, 89, Brandenburg, is one of those people. Her warm smile and friendly personality are just a small part of the lovable character she is.
Louise was born Jan. 3, 1919, in Battletown. Her parents were Joseph Bennett, an employee of the Oolite quarry and retired from Kosmosdale Cement Company, and Bertha Lone Bennett, a housewife. She had two brothers, Chester Bennett and Joseph Bennett (both deceased), and two sisters, Marie Gibson, Corydon, Ind., and Mildred Allen, Irvington.
