Leone Layton 1901 - 1980

This may be all we have of Leone. I scanned them from a book entitled History of Relief Society 1842-1966, which was given to me by our bishop in Medford OR. We found it in a church closet while I was R. S. Pres. and he was very gracious. 

She was on the R. S. General Board. Sorry, not such great copies. In the group photo, Leone can be found at top right wearing white pearls and in a navy blue dress and jacket.

Leone is upper right wearing blue and pearls.
