Lorraine was baptized and confirmed at the Lone Star Presbyterian Church. Lorraine grew up in Melville Township, attended rural school and she was just lacking 3 months from graduating from the 8th grade when they moved to a farm east of Hamlin, Iowa. Lorraine attended the Audubon High School graduating with the Class of 1941. During high school she dated her husband to be, Glen Ditto, whom she had met at the Lone Star Presbyterian Church. After graduation Lorraine lived with her parents. Glen worked for a few farmers until he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1942. Glen was stationed at Camp Carson in Colorado Springs, Colorado. While on furlough he came home to the farm and when he returned to Colorado Springs, Lorraine returned with him they were married on January 9, 1943. They were blessed with three children Leon, Linnet and Elden. They lived in Colorado Springs for one year then were transferred to Camp Butler in North Carolina. Glen was shipped overseas and Lorraine returned home to her parent’s farm east of Hamlin. Glen was honorably discharged on February 6, 1946, and returned to his wife’s family farm where he met his four and a half month old son, Leon. Glen and Lorraine purchased a farm in Union Township, Guthrie County where he had grown up. Lorraine helped Glen operate the farm for over 30 years growing row crops, raising livestock, and being a home maker for their three children. Lorraine was a stay at home mom, but did work for a short time for Garst sorting corn and as a detasseling checker. They sold their farm and Glen built a home in Audubon where they resided for over 30 years. Glen and Lorraine enjoyed traveling with their trailer to Texas and Arizona in their retirement years.
