I'm continuing the story from Tuesday's post on Guadelupe Portillo, sister of my great-grandmother Manuela. Sometime in the early 1940s, Lupe met Francisco Armenta, who had been working in citrus farms in Orange County, California. Francisco had arrived in Arizona at an early age, appearing in Cochise County records from 1910, and may have immigrated by 1900.

Francisco enlisted in the Army in September 1942, and was discharged in February 1943. Lupe and Frank obtained a marriage license in Ventura County in May 1943, and they delivered a son, Francisco Jr. in Ventura County in September 1944.

Francisco's older sister Dolores Sandoval had relocated previously with family to Lemon Cove in Tulare County. Lupe, Francisco and family followed the Sandovals to Woodlake and Visalia, Tulare County.
Based on the 1950 US Census entry, and Lupe's obituary, the family next relocated to Sonora, Tuolumne County, California. She died on 17 February 1952.
