Louie W. Attebery was born on a small farm on Monroe Creek, above Weiser, Idaho, on Aug. 14, 1927, to John Thomas (Tom) and Tressie Blevins Attebery.
The farm had no electricity and no telephone; haying and other work was done by hand or with horses.
Louie and his older siblings Jim, Lois, and Bob attended the one-room District 26 school from first through eighth grade.
