Louis was born October 16, 1915 in Taber, Alberta to Milton William Conrad and Josephine Evans VanDam Conrad, the fifth of seven children.  His early years were spent on the family farm and ranch learning to work hard.  He married his sweetheart Ethis on March 27, 1937 in the Cardston, Alberta L.D.S. Temple.  He served in the Canadian Armed Forces during the second world war, first moving Mom and four little girls to Taber into two small rooms of the Charles Edwards’ home.  Following the war, he decided that he enjoyed mechanical work more than agriculture and became a heavy duty mechanic.  Mom and Dad lived in many communities, as Dad’s work required, including Taber, Magrath, High River and Calgary in Alberta, and Lilloet, Gibson’s and Riondel in British Columbia, where they left many loyal friends behind in each community as they served the church and their fellow men.
