Mildred was born to Willie and Minnie (Gilbert) Schambron on Oct. 13, 1922 on a farm north of Lincolnville, Kan. At an early age her family moved to town, where she attended Lincolnville public schools and graduated from high school in 1940. She worked in Newton for a short time and then worked at Star's Drug Store in Peabody. During World War II, she worked at Cessna Aircraft. In July of 1944, Mildred met the love of her life, Bill Stovall. They were married on Dec. 28, 1944 before Bill left for Europe during World War II.
