May 1928 she took a trip to Havana, Cuba.
Prior arrests
1931 in San Francisco dismissed (Reason not stated)
1933 San Francisco Speaking without a permit, dismissed
1934 San Francisco Vagrancy, acquitted
In her oral interview recorded by the California Historical Society she states her father was born in Boston as well as one of his brothers, his father was born in Germany came to America then returned to Germany so many records of Max Todd say he was born in Germany when he was born in Boston, MA I did not find out what his father's name was.
Louise was married at least twice maybe more but no one seems to know to whom except one marriage Carl R Lambert. I found a Mr. Dener but this might be spelled wrong.
There are many newspaper articles on Louise.
1941 she and her Friend Anita Whitney were in a car collision.
311 Joost Ave in San Francisco is where she lived when she was arrested before going to prison in 1935, here are photos of her home today.
1952 she was again in the courtroom
Here is the link to listen to the tapes of her oral history.
She explains a lot about her families religious beliefs and political beliefs, it's very interesting, I was impressed with her and I am not a Communist, she is very intellectual and has a sense of humor. She talks about her friend Anita Whitney and a few others.
Louise and Carl divorced in 1972, I do not believe she ever had any children.
Louise died 4 Jun 1991 in San Mateo, CA
