Anna Lee Walton

Anna Lee Walton served as President of the Oregon Chapter from 1992 to 1993. Anna Lee gathered naturalization records for Multnomah County, Oregon through the  LDS Family History Center, helping many with the family research. In 1992, there were 565 members of the Oregon Chapter.

Anna Lee was born on June 7, 1926 in Oregon, the daughter of Rose Johanna (née Hardt) and George Dietrich. George was born March 2, 1896 in Balzer, Russia and arrived in Portland around 1909. Rose Johanna was born January 26, 1899 in Spokane, Washington. The Dietrich family were members of the Eastminster Presbyterian Church in NE Portland which served as the home of the Oregon Chapter for many years.

Anna Lee attended Jefferson High School and she later married Arthur Walton.
