Content DescriptionReturn to Top
Elmore Winfield LeRoy was born in Chicago, Illinois on August 7, 1898. He was drafted into the United States Army in 1917. He served in France with the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I. After being discharged, LeRoy returned to Chicago where he eventually took up a career in commercial art.
In August of 1939 LeRoy left Chicago to establish himself as a commercial artist in New York City. By the following spring, he had been converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon Church) and was baptized in August of 1940. After spending about four years in Manhattan, LeRoy moved to the Philadelphia area to work as a draftsman in the Naval Aircraft Facility at the United States Navy Yards. He continued working on military related projects and remained in Pennsylvania until 1947.
LeRoy paid a visit to Utah for five months in 1946 to pursue church related activities. Finally, in March of 1947, he returned to make Utah his permanent home. When not working as a draftsman or commercial artist for various firms, LeRoy busied himself with his genealogical research and model train hobby. Mr. LeRoy died in Salt Lake City in 1965.
