On February 19, 1930, a baby girl came to live with Edward and Christena Lippert. They named this blue eyed girl Darleen Berneice. Likewise a bouncing baby boy made his appearance at the home of Christian and Martha Baumiller, by the name of Lewis Reinhold.

Lewis grew to be a handsome fellow with hair styled in a Crew Cut and Darleen a thin slender brunette. They met when they both accepted jobs at the home of Carl and Pauline Baumiller.

On October 3, 1950, they married at the First Baptist Church in Avon, SD. On the day of their wedding Lewis was called to duty for his country. He spent some time in California and Alaska and Darleen joined him there. Upon returning from the service Lewis and Darleen farmed on an acreage outside of Parkston, SD. They were blessed with three children, Delvona Joy, Debra Lynn and Delwyn Lewis. The family farm was sold in 1991 and they moved to Parkston. Lewis joined his savior in 1994.
