The cremains of Zumie & C.C.'s daughter, Clora "Virginia" Lucas, were interred in 2010 in Zumie's burial space: Section 2, Row 18, Space 21. Their daughter, Florence Lucas Combs, and their youngest son, Edsel Lucas, are also buried in this cemetery.

Zumie's family was from Wichita Falls, TX. Zumie (NMI) Enlow, was born in 1896. She was a school teacher in a one-room schoolhouse in the Lone Star #2 School District from the age of 18 for three years until she met "C.C.", but she continued to put her teaching skills to good use by home schooling Tex when the time came.

Zumie married Clora Corwin "C.C." Lucas, who was also born in 1894 in Wichita Falls, TX. He was six feet tall and played on the high school basketball team in Texhoma, OK. He was a farmer and had a trucking business. They didn't know each other in TX, but both families moved to Cimarron County, OK.

Her son, Tex, has a photograph of his parents in their one-horse buggy, which transported them, Tex, and his sister, Virginia, to the only church available in the area at that time. It was 2-1/2 miles away in the country. "C.C.'s" mother, Loumisa Caldona Lucas, lived across the road from the church.
