Louis died October 1986. His last residence was Saint Joseph, Tensas, LA, according to

If it is worth $27 to you, you could send for a copy of his SSN application, which would list his parents. CLick on "SS-5" on his entry.
I followed my own advice on
http://www.tedpack.org/googleua.htmlhttp://www.tedpack.org/googleua.html
because "Eskew" is such a rare surname it invites Googling. I found him buried on
http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/la/tensas/cemeteries/lmc001.txthttp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/la/tensas/cemeteries/lmc001.txt
The tombstone says he died 31 Oct 1986. You might try for an obit via the Tensas GenForum page.

===============================
Te original has an e-mail address, but since it is from 2001 it may be bad. I had no idea what the SCRoots mailing list was, so I deleted from the end of the URL backwards to the first "/" and found
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~scroots/http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~scroots/
is devoted to South Carolina Roots. If the mail link is bad, you could join and ask if anyone knows where Shirley has gone.
I searched the Ancestry message boards for
+Shirley +Eskew
and foundamessage as late as March 2004. You might do the same and see if you can find her.
Hope this helps.
