Have you obtained a copy of a death certificate for Louise?If the informant had the information it should show the names of her parents.Or, she filled out her application for a Soc Sec card and it should show the names of her parents,her residence at the time of application and other data, too.

You might want to check out Rains Co, TX GenWeb site, see what they have on their site for Leggett and Whitehurst:

Also, the archived site for the county.I found some interesting births.Since the people might still be alive I won't give their names, but parents names give you husbands of some of the females in the above families.I didn't look at all entries.
Jewell Leggett & Edward Allen Rayshell[sic] had a ch 1926
Mary L. Leggett & M.Z. Scott had a ch 1926
Audrey Leggett & Bill Ray had a ch 1927
