The photos in this blog capture a piece of Leona Valley history from 1913 till about 1930 and are from various Hall family members. In 1913 my grandfather Frank D Hall bought the 3000 acre St. Anthony Ranch, the valley was then known as Leonis. He changed the name of the ranch to Leona Valley Ranch and set about building a dairy farm, but things didn't work out so well. My dad, also Cliff, grew up on the ranch.
For now I will leave comments open to anyone without spam prevention features turned on, if spam becomes a problem I will change the settings.

Leona Valley in White - circa 1917
A few inches of snow blanket the valley. Not sure where this is, think it could be looking across valley from out by ranch house. No date on this one so putting it around 1917 as other snow photos have circa 1917 on them.
That is stunning!
