She was raised in Sebastian County near Dayton, Arkansas, where she lived with her five brothers and three sisters - one of her sisters, Julia Piles resides in the nursing home here in Waldron, where Lula has resided since 1969. At age 19 Lula married Harmon Chitwood and settled down on a small farm around Abbott, AR. Here Lula raised her family of three sons and one daughter, Blake Chitwood of Abbott, Dave Chitwood of Phoenix, Ariz., Joe Chitwood now deceased, and Nita Sherrill of Mansfield, Ark. Lula was a widow for several years, but is known around the nursing home for her quiet but very pleasant personality.
