Leo Pledger

Leo Pledger spoke at a general meeting in Salt Lake City on 19 June 1960. The archive file is labeled Leo PLedger. A public civil record that would fix his birth and death dates has not yet been confirmed, and he is not identified with a later man of the same given name.

On 19 June 1960 he spoke at a general meeting in Salt Lake City. The archive file is labeled Leo PLedger, with a capital L in the surname as written on that file. The page title uses Leo Pledger. Identification of this recording rests on that file name.1

An obituary of Harry Pledger of Ogden (1919–2017) says he was preceded in death by sons Leo and Dean. That family appears to be a different, mainstream Latter-day Saint household, and this page does not treat the 1960 speaker as that Leo.2 A birth date, a death date, and his parents’ names are left open until a public record or a family confirmation is in hand.
