Lee was a first generation American and one of 16 children born to the union of farmer, John Dedric Heyl and his wife Elizabeth Kampman. 10 of them survived to adulthood. He was a barber. He married Julia Hazeltine in 1906. Their union was blest with two children, Helen and Joseph. On 20 April 1910 the Heyls lived on Eighth St. in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. On 12 September 1918 Lee registered for the WW I draft like millions of other men did. He did not claim a deferral as a married man with dependent children, but, as such it is unlikely he served. His occupation was barber and his employer was Boyd Bradshaw. He was tall and slender, with light brown hair and light blue eyes. In the 1925 State census the Heyls were listed still living in Sioux Falls, though a newspaper article published five years earlier in the Lake Preston Times of Lake Preston, South Dakota reported he froze to death in Canada while on a trapping expedition. Lee's daughter, Helen, married Henry Ebsen later that year. Lee does not appear in either the State or US census after 1925. His son, Joseph, served in the Navy in WW II.
