Louisa's middle name of Matilda is from a descendent of her son Perry. Matilda is listed as Louisa's middle name on the marriage certificate of her son Perry Hall Black. It is also recorded in a notebook started by Louisa's granddaughter, Perry's daughter, Blanche Olive (Black) Grewell.

However, it might have been a mistake on the marriage certificate: a case of the clerk confusing the bride's name with Perry's mother's first name.
