Hugh B. Denio and Lela Hoskins


Hugh B. Denio was born on September 5, 1886. He was only 5 when his family moved from Missouri to California (his family was reported to be living at Cameron Junction, Missouri in 1889). According to his son, Kenneth, Hugh remembers leaving a train station (possible the Bennington, Kansas station) for California in a rainstorm. He also occasionally spoke of an "Uncle Dexter" who would likely have been his father's brother, George Dexter, who lived in Missouri.        


Hugh grew up on the Rosedale property and attended Rosedale school(?). His early years were spent farming and driving teams. About the time he was married, he drove a stagecoach between Caliente and Bodfish in the foothills around the Kern River Canyon.
