Ivy Hazel Pottle grew up in Analy township, Sonoma County, California, and Millville, Shasta County, California.

In 1912 she registered to vote -- only the first year women were allowed to vote in California. In that year, she turned 21, the minimum age to vote at that time. (The 19th Amendment that enabled women to vote in U.S. elections occurred in August 1920.)

Ivy Hazel's father Benjamin Norton Pottle was a farmer, her mother Sarah a homemaker (and an early California pioneer during the Gold Rush. Born in Hungary 12 September 1850, Sarah emigrated to the U.S. in 1855 with her parents).

Ivy Hazel married Albert Hufford 17 November 1916 in Millville. They had two daughters, Hazel Ivy Hufford Bartholomew (married Roy Mason Bartholomew) and Mavis Elva Hufford Cooper (married Kenneth Ivan Cooper), and one son, Elton A. Hufford. Please see the Hufford family crest and lineage at Albert Hufford's memorial (family link, below).

Ivy Hazel and her older sister Eva Ella (born 6 Nov 1878; married John Porter Fisher) had two older half-sisters, Eda Ducray Howard and Hannah Lena Ducray Gough, daughters of their mother Sarah's first marriage.

Ivy's sister Eva Ella and her husband John Porter Fisher had one daughter, Beatrice Rosalie ("Bea") Fisher. Bea married Owen Ashton Stanley. Sadly, John Fisher passed away young. Eva Ella and young Bea lived with Sarah and Benjamin after John's passing.

Ivy's mother Sarah C. Huber was born in Hungary (a few years before the wars that made Hungary a part of the Austria-Hungarian Empire). Sarah came to the United States, and married three months before her 16th birthday. On 13 April 1866, in Sacramento, California, Sarah married Jean Claude/John C. Ducray, a Gold Rush pioneer born in France, who came from Pennsylvania to Nevada City, California, in 1850 with his older brother Jean-Baptiste/John B. Ducray. The Ducray brothers came to San Francisco from New York via the new steamship Tennessee from Panama City, braving the crossing of the Isthmus of Panama, which saved several weeks versus the old route that required rounding the southern tip of South America.

John C. was 33 years old, 17 years elder than Sarah, when they wed.

Sarah and John C.'s daughter Eda was born in 1869, and Hannah Lena in 1872. The family lived in Nevada County until January 1875, when due to illness (consumption) John C. sold their gold mining interests and home, and the family moved north to live with his sister and her husband in Albany, Oregon. Tragically, John C. Ducray passed away young, only three months later at his sister's home in Oregon, at age 41 April 6, 1875. Sarah was 24 years old, Eda 6 and Hannah 3 years old. Two weeks after his passing and burial, Sarah and her two young daughters traveled by steamship from Portland, Oregon, to Sacramento, California, and returned to Nevada City.

Following John C.'s passing, from 1875 to 1876 Sarah and her young daughters lived with her brother- and sister-in-law John B. and Julia Catherine Ducray and their niece/adoptive daughter Theresa Julia Brenoel, in the Ducrays' large home on Orchard Street in Nevada City. [Orchard Street had been so-named for John B. Ducray's 35 acres of orchards, that extended north to the present site of Nevada County's Rood Government Center and Madelyn Helling Library. Famed horticulturist Felix Gillet, who came to Nevada City from France and opened his barber shop that also sold French fineries, became a close friend of John B. and Julia Ducray. Felix was so greatly impressed by and influenced by John B.'s orchards, that in 1872 Felix established his world-renowned Barren Hill Nursery (also known as Felix Gillet Nursery) in Nevada City, on what was named Nursery Street due to Felix's nursery there. Felix propagated walnut, almond, prune, and mulberry trees that he sold locally and by catalog. Many orchards in California and Oregon that were planted with trees from Felix Gillet's nursery, particularly in the Santa Clara Valley and Willamette Valley, still are bearing crops today. In 1890, when John B. and Julia Ducray each passed away, Felix lost his closest friends, and Theresa lost her beloved uncle and aunt, when she was just 21 years old. Bonded by affection and shared loss, Felix Gillet and Theresa Julia married in 1891. The couple enjoyed 17 years of marriage until Felix's passing in 1908. The couple had no children.]

In 1876, a year after John C. Ducray's passing, Sarah C. Ducray married Benjamin Norton Pottle in Nevada City. The family moved to Analy township in Sonoma County, California, where Benjamin was a farmer, and later to Millville, Shasta County, where Benjamin also was a farmer. Sarah and Benjamin had two daughters, Eva Ella in 1878, and Ivy Hazel in 1890.

Eva married John Porter Fisher in 1905. Sadly, he passed away young. Eva and their daughter Beatrice Rosalie ("Bea") then went to live with Eva's parents Sarah and Benjamin.

Ivy Hazel married Albert Hufford in Millville on 17 November 1916 when she was 26 years old. Their daughters Hazel Ivy and Mavis Elva grew up in Millville. Ivy Hazel passed away in 1972. Albert lived 11 years longer, to 1983. Ivy Hazel, Albert, and their daughter Hazel Ivy Hufford Bartholomew are at rest together in Paskenta Cemetery.

Ivy Hazel's daughter Mavis provided information to Millville Historical Society for the Hufford family that settled in Shasta County:

Mavis Hufford Cooper

My first ancestor to arrive in Shasta County was John Wesley Hufford. He came to the gold fields at Texas Springs in 1849. When the gold became scarce, he moved across the Sacramento River and began farming instead of mining. The Hufford family eventually settled east of Millville on Mill Creek and on the north fork of South Cow Creek. Over the years, family members homesteaded and bought many acres, at $1.25 an acre, between Millville and Whitmore. Most were farms and cattle ranches. Some have remained for seven generations.

My father, Albert, was the great grandson of John Wesley Hufford and the son of Charles Wesley (Pete) Hufford and Emma Jane Atkins. He was born on their ranch in 1888. As a young man, he too homesteaded land. He told us he was riding his horse looking for stray cattle on South Cow Creek one day, when he was in his early twenties. He got off his horse to open a gate when he heard the hoof beats of a running horse. He waited to see who was in such a hurry - and why? To his pleasant surprise, the racing horse was ridden by a beautiful young woman. He opened the gate for her and introduced himself. She was Ivy Pottle, whose family owned a ranch on South Cow Creek. Dad said he asked her for a date before she got away. They were married in 1916.
