"Louise Shepard Pridgeon was a celebrated opera singer. Louise became close friends with the Booths. They were founders of the Salvation Army. Louise was deeply religious; with that, Charles Pridgeon felt she would be a perfect minister's wife. They were married and established many missions. I have a medal given to Louise, at the height of her singing career, by King Leopold of Belgium. (Recollections of Katharine Elaine Thompson Dow, contributed by Beverly Dow Mazzarella).
