Biography	Cleo Grigg Johnson Gilchrist was born in Cove, Oregon on September 24, 1905. After three and a half years, she and her family moved to Nampa, Idaho, where her father farmed for twenty-five years. Cleo married Elmer Johnson, and the couple later moved to Long Beach, of Southern California. After the Depression hit, however, they moved back to Idaho, where they lived a rustic ranch life. In 1839, Elmer died in an oil field accident in Torrance, California. In 1946, Cleo and her two sons moved to Kuna, Idaho, to be closer to her parents. In September 1956, she moved to Ontario, Oregon to work as a receptionist. There, she met Robert Gilchrist, a successful farmer from Quincy, Washington. They were married March 9, 1959. On August 21, 1960, Cleo was called as the Stake Primary President, and on January 3, 1961, the family made a trip across Europe. Cleo died October 6, 2001 in Idaho.
