Life History

Notes

• The 1900 Census reports her name as Lee O.  Lee was possibly a nickname for Leona, or the enumerator took Leeona as two names.  In 1910 she is reported as Leona E.  A marriage record that appears to be for her has her name as Leann in the Ancestry transcription.  This could very well be a misreading, as is so common with the Ancestry transcriptions.  Her name was spelled by the clerk/notary who wrote out her father's will in the court records as Lenona.
