Lela was a beautiful, dark-eyed lady who kept her looks and used her love ly hands as a Montgomery Ward lingerie clerk,. Her family moved to Dix on , IL in 1912. Here Lela was courted for five years by Russell J. Hoyl e. They were married April 7, 1917. Russell Jr. was born May 19, 1918 wh ile his father was being prepared for shipment overseas to France with t he American Expeditionary Forces. Being left with a young baby while h er husband served his country overseas was difficult. But Lela face it wi th courage, and with the gracious assistance of her mother and father, w ho lived across the street. Upon Russell Sr.'s return the family mov ed to Mount Pleasant, MI to try their hand at farming. The winters were s evere and crops uncooperative. It was not altogether a successful enterpr ise. So, before the birth of her second son, Darrell, they moved ba ck to Dixon. Darrell Densimore was born Jan 7, 1923. When Darrell got a s evere case of Scarlet Fever at the age of six months Lela nursed him ba ck to health with much prayer, patience and fortitude. Lela dedicated her self to the raising of these two sons and sacrificed personal preferenc es so that the boys would have the opportunity for a quality educatio n. An oft recalled picture in the mind in those early years is the fami ly on the couch listening to mother read the latest Scattergood Baines sto ry from the American Magazine. Although she only had completed the eigh th grade and later a business course she was determined that her boys wou ld go on to school. It is suspected that the move to CA in 1933 was motiv ated by the opportunity for education even for poof folks. Early yea rs in CA were, lean, but this mother knew how to get much out of very litt le. She assisted her husband in gleaning the lima bean fields in Venic e, CA and cooked lima beans in many different varieties. In 1935 the Hoy le family moved to Pasadena, CA rented a house for $18 per month and settl ed in for three years while her older son attended Pasadena City Colleg e. It was time for another move, This time to Oakland in 1938. Here it w as that Darrell shopped for his mother. She sent him to the store with tw enty-five cents to buy some hamburger and he was to bring back the chang e. He returned with five pounds at the cost of five cents per pound. H is mother cooked the meat, put it in jars and pored grease over the to p. After hamburger for the evening meal had been enjoyed she sealed it f or future meals, since the family had no freezer. In this city Darrell a ttended Technical and Fremont High School and Russell Jr. was graduated fr om the University of California Berkeley. Meanwhile, Russell Sr. went to w ork for the Alameda Naval Air Station where he worked for many year s. He retired at age 71. He and Lela came to Sacramento area to do the t hings retirees are supposed to do. When Darrell was in college and seminar y, the folks sent money intermittently to assist him. The last few yea rs have been somewhat difficult with various illnesses and diseases, but t he Lord if faithful, and her last days seem to have a calm that had not be en too characteristic of her before.
