Although I am not related to Lesta, she was apparently a close friend to my grandmother, Helen Louise Jackson. I believe Lesta was born/raised in Camptonville (probably where they met as my grandmother taught school there in the early 30s) around 1910 or so. I have many photographs of Lesta from the 1930's including many of her taking a cruise with my grandmother and her parents, to Alaska in 1935 (rather uncommon at that time). I would like to hand down the many wonderful photographs of Lesta to a direct relative rather than have them remain in my albums rarely viewed.

I believe Lesta did not marry and died in Sacramento, CA. Lesta is buried in Camptonville, CA and I believe there is a sport center named after her in Marysville, CA. However, I have been unsuccessful in finding any relatives, thus far, thus my posting. I am happy to share what I have with those interested.
