Myrtle L. Allred

The compiled volume Sermons of John Y. Barlow credits a reporter named Myrtle L. Allred on dated talks in the early 1940s. A Salt Lake legal stenographer named Myrtle Lloyd Allred (1910–1999) is a candidate in the compiled sources below; that identification is not treated as confirmed here.

The compiled volume Sermons of John Y. Barlow credits a reporter named Myrtle L. Allred on dated talks in the early 1940s. Six of those unique talks are published from the compilation (13 September, 27 September, and 11 October 1942; 28 November 1943; 27 February 1944; and 14 January 1945). Additional compilation reports credited to her fall on dates already in the Salt Lake minute books and are not posted a second time.1

A Deseret News obituary for Myrtle Lloyd Allred, published 22 December 1999, says she was born 10 January 1910 in Salt Lake City to George and Beatrice Lloyd, married Rulon Clark Allred on 9 November 1935, worked for years as a legal stenographer for the Salt Lake law firm Worsley, Snow and Christensen, and died 10 December 1999 in Rigby, Idaho.2 A Find a Grave memorial for Myrtle Hoff Lloyd Allred repeats much of that obituary but gives the death date as 20 December 1999. This page records both dates and does not choose between them.3

The same 1944 Salt Lake Tribune photograph caption that names a Leona Jeffs also names a Myrtle Lloyd in that group of women.4 The compiled sermon credit is “Myrtle L. Allred.” The initial and the Salt Lake stenographer career are reasons some readers may connect the credit with Myrtle Lloyd Allred. This page does not treat that identification as confirmed. A Church History Biographical Database entry for a different woman, Myrtle Jones Allred (1892–1989), is not used as an identification.5
