Marvin Dale Lincoln was born March 9, 1928 in Jireh, Wyoming to Alfred and Dora (Brahms) Lincoln. He was the youngest of four children and the last to pass away on September 28, 2022 at the age of 94.

Marvin attended Faye School, a typical one room country school, through the third grade. The family moved to the Flying E Ranch near Moorcroft, where his dad worked for the John Schuricht Family.

He completed fourth and fifth grades in Moorcroft. In the late 1930s, the family moved to the ranch outside of Upton, WY, where he attended Mason Creek School until the eighth grade.

In 1942, he started high school in Upton and graduated in 1946. He drove school bus from Mason Creek to Upton from 1943-1946.

After graduation, he attended the University of Wyoming, earning a degree in civil engineering.

While still in college he met Joyce Kline at a dance at the old Newcastle Armory. They married on January 29, 1951.

At that time, Marvin took a job at Douglas Aircraft in Santa Monica, CA. In 1952, they bought a small amount of property in the Santa Monica Mountains called "Monte Nido" where they built their first home.

Together they raised their three children, Terry Sue, Sherry and Randy. In 1973, Marvin, Joyce and Randy moved to Sundance, where they purchased a KOA franchise, and it was built on the east end of town.
