Lucile was the daughter of a physician. She lost her left arm above the elbow as a result of a riding accident when she was about 12 years old. Lucile compensated well for her her loss by learning to swim, dance and even ride horseback as well as care for her four children. Lucile graduated from UC Berkeley with a Masters Degree in Anthro-pology. In those days few women went on to higher learning, so it was practically unheard of for a young woman to bravely go out alone to an Indian reservation (Cuhilla) to live in order to obtain information for her masters thesis. Lucile's thesis on the Cuhilla Indians and their culture is published and available for reading in library archives. Lucile nearly died in 1918 during the Spanish Flu epidemic.
Lucile met her husband Arthur T. LaPrade at UC Berkeley and they raised four children.
