Brooks, J. Louis (John Louis), b.1879.

Hide Profile

Louis Brooks was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John V. Brooks of Montpelier, Vermont. His sisters were named Edith and Ruth. Louis graduated from high school in Montpelier, spent an additional year taking college preparatory work at Williston Seminary in Easthampton, Massachusetts, and then entered Amherst College, where he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. After not quite two years at Amherst, he decided to go to New York City and study illustration at the National Academy of Design. There the letters end and nothing more is known about Louis. His father was a partner in Brooks & Deming, a hardware store, but he later opened his own business, selling glass, doors, and blinds.
