Gladys is the firstborn child of Milton James Hammond and Aroetta Louisa Hale. Nine children were born after her: Ronald Clyde, Glen Melvin, Sarah, Merrill W, Frank Alma, Floyd Milton, Ruth, Viola, and Roy Hale.
From her mother's history @familysearch.org:
Our little girl Gladys was born in September 23. My mother was with me, for which I was very thankful as I was very ill and gained strength very slowly.
We moved to Teton that fall where Milton taught. I loved my dear little girl, her eyes were so blue and expressive, and she was such a happy little darling, always singing in her childish way. I gave her a little book about the time she learned to walk. It had pictures of farm animals in it, she loved it so much and carried it with her nearly all day and took it to bed with her at night. She couldn't call the animals by name but would mimic each of them as she turned the pages.
Maybe I loved her too much, anyway God saw fit to take her from us when she was 16 months old. She was ill for six weeks with pneumonia. Several times it seemed that she was going, I would pray again for recovery and call the Elders in to administer to her and she would revive. Finally Brother Donaldson called me to him and told me that the Lord wanted my little girl and that I was prolonging her suffering by clinging to her, that I must give her up. I couldn't stand to see her suffer longer, so I asked them to bless her and ask the Lord to take her. She passed away a few minutes later.
