WILFORD LEROY ALLRED
Wilford Leroy Allred, the third bishop of the Chester Ward,
Sanpete Co., Utah, was born September 7, 1876, at Spring City,
Sanpete Co., Utah, the son of Reddick N. Allred and Amilla Jane
McPherson. He was baptized September 14, 1884, by William D.
Candland.
When about two years old he removed with his parents from Spring
City to Chester, Utah, where his home has been ever since.
He was ordained a Priest February 3, 1895, by Bishop Christian
Christensen and set apart as assistant superintendent of the
Chester Ward Sunday school. Later he became superintendent of
said school and still later he acted as president of the Ward
Y.M.M.I.A. He was also secretary in an Elder’s quorum and acted
as a Ward teacher. In May, 1900, he was ordained an Elder and on
June 5, 1900, he married Roselinda Abigail Christensen (daughter
of Bishop Christian Christensen and Philanda Clark) whs has
borne him seven children.
Brother Allred was ordained a High Priest and Bishop September
17, 1906, by Apostle Reed Smoot and set apart to preside over
the Chester Ward. At the time of his ordination to this latter
office he was filling the positions of Sunday School
superintendent, president of the Ward Y.M.M.I.A., secretary of
an Elder’s quorum and Ward teacher. Brother Allred is a farmer
and merchant by occupation and has since his early youth taken a
most active part in public affairs; his success in the building
up of Chester, in connection with his brethren, has given him
great satisfaction.
