Lela married Fred Elmer German October 14, 1908, at her parents' home.
She and Fred were living in Joseph and when her first baby was due, Fred went for Dr. Fleenor. Although the doctor was dead drunk he agreed to follow Fred home. It was a difficult delivery and when the doctor seized the baby to pull it out, he lost his balance and he and baby fell backwards. The baby struck its head and was killed. Fred went for his gun but Dr. Fleenor was gone. The doctor recorded the birth of the baby, April 26, 1910, but did not record the deaths The baby is buried in Prairie Creek Cemetery.
