Lela Cole Kitson

Her father's upward move in the mining plant design and reduction machinery design led the family in 1896 to Chicago, Illinois, in 1900 to Aspen, Colorado, and in 1902 to Cananea, Mexico.

Lela Margaret Cole Kitson (May 25, 1891 in Hill City, South Dakota – November 25, 1970 in El Paso, Texas) was a freelance writer of primarily western romances from 1920 to 1955.

Higher education was not available in Cananea so she was sent to the Marlborough School for Girls located in Los Angeles, where other Cole family members resided, including her great-granduncle U.S. Senator Cornelius Cole.
