Leo Alldredge, the son of Isaac Alldredge, Jr. and Susannah Evans Alldredge, was born in Hinckley, Utah, 12 January 1889. He was the ninth child and one of only two boys in a family of ten. At the age of twelve, he, with the rest of his father's family, moved to Mexico.
He entered the Juarez Academy in 1908 where he first met his future wife, Ida Romney. On 26 August 1911, at the age of 22, he and Ida were married by Ida's brother, President Junius Romney. After a short honeymoon, they moved to San Jose, Sonora, Mexico, where they lived for one year. In October 1911, they traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah, where they were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple.
Leo and his family, like many of the saints, were driven out of Mexico in August 1912 by the armed forces of Pancho Villa. He, his wife and baby, Vonda, only five weeks old, fled to Douglas, Arizona, where he obtained work in a meat shop. Later they moved to Mesa, Arizona, where Leo found employment. After two years of diligent study, he was able to pass the State Bar Examination and practiced law.
Leo was active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, being in the Bishopric of the Mesa Third Ward. He was active in Scouting, holding various positions. He loved hunting and fishing. His children have happy recollections of Saturday afternoons spent learning to fish and shoot a gun.
Leo and Ida were the parents of nine children: Vonda, Leona, Leroy, Miles, Nelda, Junius, Gerald, Ida Mae and David. Gerald died at birth.
Leo's wife, Ida, died 14 June 1943. He followed her in death 24 April 1949, at the age of 60. He was buried in Mesa, Arizona.
