Rachel Anna Money Leggett was the daughter of James P and Rachel Bryant Money. She was born Sep 27 1882 in Nodaway Co, MO and died Jun 25 1978 in Wellington, Sumner, KS.
She married Fred Leggett May 23 1907 in Wichita, Sedgwick, KS. They had two children: Birdean and Orville Gordon.
Rachel was an amazing lady. Her family moved from Missouri to Kansas in a covered wagon when she was a young child. When she was in her 80's she flew from Wichita to California and met up with cousins. She went wading in the ocean, took a trip to Nevada to gamble. She won $20.00 and refused to gamble further saying that she had money to make new kitchen curtains. She had a sense of adventure and a sense of humor and was very much admired by her grandchildren.
Like many women of her generation, she was quite accomplished with her needlework: knitting, crochet, and embroidery.
