Louise was born April 20, 1916 to Henry and Christina (Liebelt) Scherer on her Grandpa Liebelt’s farmstead near Hazen. When she was a year old her family moved to the Churchtown area where she attended Oliver County Schools through the eighth grade. On January 18, 1935 Louise married August Christian in Mandan and they made their home on the Christian homestead, near New Salem, for 35 years where they raised four children. In 1970 Louise and her husband moved in to New Salem.
Her faith was very important to her, and Louise belonged to Christ Lutheran Church at Churchtown where she served as secretary for many years. When the church closed in 1988, she became a member of Zion Lutheran Church in New Salem where she continued to be very active in areas of the church until her death.
In her spare time, Louise enjoyed making quilts, crocheting afghan’s, and baking. She liked watching television, playing board games and cards, old time music, and traveling. Most of all, Louise loved taking care of her flower gardens and caring for her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
