Her father eventually bought the flour mill, but the mill burned down during the Great Depression so their family moved to Delmont, SD in 1934 when LuCilla was 11 years old. Upon their arrival in Delmont they lived with LuCilla?s paternal grandparents, Michael & Katherine Goehring, until they were able to move to their own farm northwest of Delmont. LuCilla was baptized as a baby in Hosmer and grew up attending and strengthening her faith at the Bethany Reformed United Church of Christ in Delmont, SD. She attended country school as a child and later graduated from Armour High School in 1942. She attended Southern State Normal School in Springfield, SD and received her teaching certificate in 1943. LuCilla was a teacher at various country schools in the Delmont - Dimock area until she married Ray Dewald on September 5th 1948. They moved to his parents' farm south of Tripp, SD where they farmed for 49 years raising corn, soybeans and wheat along with cattle, hogs chickens, ducks and milking cows. Together LuCilla and Ray raised five children. LuCilla loved to garden, bake, embroider, quilt and have church friends and/or relatives over for Sunday dinners. In the early 80?s (due to a tough farm economy) LuCilla became a CNA at the Tripp Good Samaritan Center where she worked for 15 years.
