Lulu June Lockard, the daughter of William and Margaret Lockard, was born Aug. 26, 1886 in Norton County, Kans. She attended school and grew up in that community. She taught school in a public school near Norton.

On March 11, 1906 she was married to Hadley E. Railsback. In October of that same years, they moved to a homestead near Yuma, Colo., where their two children were born and raised. They moved to Nevada in 1952. She was a member of the E.U.B. Church and the Royal Neighbors Lodge.

The Railsback celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Merrill Flynn, in 1956. Her husband died in August of 1958.
