Louis ran away from home at age 13 and joined the rodeo. Unfortunately, he broke his back in an accident. Doctors put a plate in his back and told him he would never walk again. He was in a wheelchair for several years, but eventually regained the ability to walk. Because of his injury, he was unable to serve in World War I. He returned to Canton where he met and married Mary Hoobler, and they raised their family.
