Biography
Lenore was born in 1916 to Montraville Fuller and Anna Steube in Nebraska.
By 1940, Lenore was a rural school teacher in East Ogallala. This is probably she met Boyd, who was from Ogallala.
In 1941, Boyd married Lenore Fuller in Lushton, Nebraska. They ran the Covered Wagon curio store, gas station, and restaurant together and lived in the house behind it.
In January 1951, the Covered Wagon burned down. In April 1951, it was re-opened.
In 1963, they sold the Covered Wagon to Nick and Rose Ponticello, who ran it until they retired in 2001.
In 1965, they moved to Scottsdale. In 1965, Lenore sued for a separation from Boyd. In 1967, their divorce was granted on August 4.
