When she was young her family moved to Stanton, Nebraska and that is where she grew up. Her father William Locke, was president of the Omaha livestock market and a Quaker.

Adria was sent to Fremont College, in Nebraska, where she spent two years earning a teaching certificate. She was too young to qualify as a teacher under Nebraska State laws so she entered into Northwestern University. She was suspended for a séance. Locke married while still in her teen years and got a divorce in 1929. With only about US$230 in her pocket to support her and her eight-month-old daughter she began to travel through the south selling merchandise control systems to department stores.
