Notes

  • Some family records indicate the spelling of the name is Luada.  The 1880 census transcription by Ancestry/FamilySearch (LDS) has her name as Lavada C.  Other family genealogies that have the Wests also spell her name as Luada.  Her children prefer the spelling Lou Ada.  Her son Homer named his daughter Lou Ada.

    The Wests moved to Indian Territory.  They lived in Pontotoc County of Chickasaw Nation.

    In the 1900 census, when she was 13 years old, Lou Ada is listed in the census as Loula Greene.  Lou Ada's father had died and her mother Amanda Tatum West married James Toliver Green.

    Lou Ada Caldonia West married Toliver Jorile (Joe) Green.  They lived in the Center area, Pontotoc County, Chickasaw Nation.

    Before her death in 1907, Lou Ada Caldonia West Green lived around Center.  The Green farm and old Center community were north of where the Center intersection is now on Hwy 19.  Their daughter Rettie (Alpharetta Mae) went to school at Pickett School east of Center on the north side of the road.
    --  Loretta Gregory Gay, personal communication to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 2 June 2018

    My mother Lou Ila Jenkins gave me the name as Lou Ada.  The latter is also the name of a daughter of Homer and Dorothy Green.  Gravestones for two of her children have the mother's name as Lou Green, which seems to indicate that Lou and Ada were two separate names for their mother.

    The gravestone in Center Cemetery, Center, Oklahoma, has the name spelled Lou Ada:
    "Green Lou Ada  Apr 28, 1877    Feb 22, 1907    wife of T. J."
