Lila Dearing had a deep appreciation for the history of Cheyenne County, with a special interest in the Sioux Army Depot. Over the years, she generously donated items to the Cheyenne County Historical Association, helping ensure pieces of our community’s history would be preserved and shared with others.

In her memory, Lila’s family has chosen the Cheyenne County Historical Association as a place for memorial gifts.

Your gift in Lila’s memory continues something she believed in: preserving our history for generations to come.

Memorial donations help us care for historic artifacts and collections, preserve Fort Sidney and the stories of Cheyenne County, and make our local history accessible to the community.
