Biography* James Burie Clegg noted that Mary's name was Mary Ludie Culpepper on the marriage record and "Mary Loudie Greene" on her tombstone. She and Charles Greene had no children.
      On 5 Nov 1978. Mrs. W. B. (M. Louise Culpepper) Broach wrote: He [Elam Culpepper] had only one daughter, Loudie, who was his pride and joy. Cousin Charlie had taken her to N.Y. where she had studied music - she had a high soprano voice and she went with her father every where he preached. Often these country churches would have an organ or piano but nobody to play them. She would play and sing at each place. She was concerned about the fact that the girls had no chance to study music so she taught music all those years so the churches would have pianists in their own congregations. Those who could would come to her for lessons but for those who had no way to come she would go to them.

The following is from a manuscipt by Kathryn English Culpepper, as transcribed by Gayle L. Poole:

She, too, stayed home. Being the only daughter, she was the "apple" of her father's eye, and usually went with him to play the piano or organ (mostly), for his services.

She was very active in the West Union Baptist Church. Played the Organ, taught children in Sunday school and put on many programs with them (The writer was usually part of these programs when she was visiting in the country every summer. Loudie taught piano to the young girls (and sometimes, boys) from the neighborhood. She even taught school for awhile.8
