She was raised in Venice, Italy and emigrated to the U.S.A. in 1920 at age nine with her mother Elizabeth and sister Josephine. Her aunt Maria Mazzoni, Martin's sister, also accompanied them on the ship. They arrived at the Port of New York and immigrated through Ellis Island. They joined Leona's father Martin in Hazleton, PA where Martin had immigrated in 1910. ","She graduated from Hazleton High School in 1929 and from St. Joseph's Hospital School of Nursing in Reading, PA in 1932. She then worked as registered nurse at Pennsylvania State Hospital, Corrigan Maternity Hospital, and Public Health Clinic in Hazleton, PA. ","After her parents' deaths, she lived with her sister, Josephine and brother-in-law, Carmen, in 1938. Her two brothers, Vincent and Louis, also lived in the household. Carmen provided the house, Josephine was the homemaker, and Leona provided financial support to raise the two orphaned brothers. ","In 1942, Leona joined the U.S. Army as a lieutenant in the Army Nurse Corps and was assigned to the Army Air Force base at Key Field in Meridian, Mississippi where she met Francis Curie Skilling (1900-1968), a medical officer who had volunteered for the Army Air Corps in 1942. He had been a practicing ophthalmologist since 1935 in Miami, FL until his death in 1968. ","She was later assigned to MacCluskey General Hospital in 1944 and served in Texas and Bushnell, Utah for overseas training. She was attached to the 172nd Hospital Unit and later the 142nd Hospital Unit of the University of Maryland. She served in the CBI (China – Burma – India) theater in 1945. Her main station was in Calcutta, India in a colonial hospital leased from the British government and staffed by Americans. She served as an RN with the nursing unit.","While in India she flew to Karachi and Darjeeling on USAAF transport aircraft. She flew \"over the Hump\" (the Himalayas) and into Kunming, China. She was usually the only female on the aircraft (C-47s) when wounded soldiers were being carried.","During her tour of duty overseas, she corresponded with Major Francis Skilling. She also corresponded with her sister Josephine and her nephews Robert and John Gaudio, known as \"Bobby\" and \"Jackie\". She corresponded with her brother Vincent, who served as\tan enlisted man in the US Army Chemical Corps. \n    Vincent was sent to Hollandia, New Guinea where he developed a mysterious blood disorder in 1945. He was returned to the U.S. mainland in 1945 and entered Walter Reed Army General Hospital in Washington, D.C. for treatment. Some of his surviving letters to his sister Josephine make up part of the collection.","In 1945, Leona was reassigned to Walter Reed Hospital as a nurse and was allowed to help take care of her brother Vincent, who was dying. After his death on September 20, 1945, his funeral was held in Hazleton, PA at the local parish church.","Leona had been in touch with Francis C. Skilling, who was still assigned to the deactivated hospital at Key Field, MS. After he obtained leave, they reunited at his family's home in Chevy Chase, MD where she met his parents. They had been separated for nearly two and a half years. They then traveled by train to Pennsylvania where they were married on Monday, December 3, 1945.","He was assigned to Ft. Sill, OK as a medical officer where they lived until he was discharged from active duty in 1946.

He had been a practicing ophthalmologist since 1935 in Miami, FL until his death in 1968. ","She was later assigned to MacCluskey General Hospital in 1944 and served in Texas and Bushnell, Utah for overseas training. She was attached to the 172nd Hospital Unit and later the 142nd Hospital Unit of the University of Maryland. She served in the CBI (China – Burma – India) theater in 1945. Her main station was in Calcutta, India in a colonial hospital leased from the British government and staffed by Americans. She served as an RN with the nursing unit.","While in India she flew to Karachi and Darjeeling on USAAF transport aircraft. She flew \"over the Hump\" (the Himalayas) and into Kunming, China. She was usually the only female on the aircraft (C-47s) when wounded soldiers were being carried.","During her tour of duty overseas, she corresponded with Major Francis Skilling. She also corresponded with her sister Josephine and her nephews Robert and John Gaudio, known as \"Bobby\" and \"Jackie\". She corresponded with her brother Vincent, who served as\tan enlisted man in the US Army Chemical Corps. \n    Vincent was sent to Hollandia, New Guinea where he developed a mysterious blood disorder in 1945. He was returned to the U.S. mainland in 1945 and entered Walter Reed Army General Hospital in Washington, D.C. for treatment. Some of his surviving letters to his sister Josephine make up part of the collection.","In 1945, Leona was reassigned to Walter Reed Hospital as a nurse and was allowed to help take care of her brother Vincent, who was dying. After his death on September 20, 1945, his funeral was held in Hazleton, PA at the local parish church.","Leona had been in touch with Francis C. Skilling, who was still assigned to the deactivated hospital at Key Field, MS. After he obtained leave, they reunited at his family's home in Chevy Chase, MD where she met his parents. They had been separated for nearly two and a half years. They then traveled by train to Pennsylvania where they were married on Monday, December 3, 1945.","He was assigned to Ft. Sill, OK as a medical officer where they lived until he was discharged from active duty in 1946. They returned to his previous place of residence in Miami, FL where he re-opened his private ophthalmology practice . They had three children who were born in Miami Beach, FL: Francis, Jr., Vincent, and Mary Emma.","Francis C. Skilling was born on August 26, 1900 in Chicago, IL and passed away on August 8, 1968 in Miami, FL. Leona passed away on May 6, 1997 in Tallahassee, FL. They are buried at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic cemetery in Miami, FL. Their children currently reside in Tallahassee (Francis), Clayton, GA (Vincent), and Washington, D.C. (Mary Emma Hotze). They are the donors of the Mazzoni/Skilling Collection to the Florida State University Institute on WWII and the Human Experience.  \nPrepared by Francis C. Skilling, Jr. on May 8, 2019.

More than 40,000 American men refused to fight during World War II. Citing principled opposition, they declared themselves conscientious objectors. Rejecting combat duty, nearly 12,000 men entered Civilian Public Service (CPS) with the intent to perform \"work of national importance\" as an alternative to combat duty. The CPS program was set up by members of the historic peace churches (Mennonites, Brethren, and Quakers) and participated in by pacifists from other churches, of no specific religious persuasion, and, in the case of a few, no persuasion except not to fight in that particular war. CPS men worked as aides in mental hospitals, volunteered as smoke jumpers in forest fires, and participated in grueling medical and scientific experiments.

McClellan, also known as \"Smitty,\" was born in Grant, Florida October 18, 1918, she died October 25, 2013.  She was the last of 8 children. Her father homesteaded 160 acres on Mullet Creek.  Her brother, Charles Elmer Smith, was captured by the Japanese in 1941 on Wake Island. Viola wanted to do something to help bring him home so she enlisted in the Woman's Army Corp in 1942. \n \nViola attended basic training and Officers Candidate School in Des Moines, Iowa. She was commissioned a 2nd Lt in February 1943. She was sent to Spokane, Washington as Company Commander of 300 enlisted women and four other officers. This was the first company of WAC's in Spokane. From there Viola went to overseas training at Fort Oglethorpe in Georgia. Without knowing where they were going, 18,000 men and 500 women crammed onboard the refitted troopship RMS Queen Elizabeth sailing out of New York and headed for Europe. As they were debarking in Scotland, they announced the invasion of France (D-Day, June 6, 1944).\n \nThirty of the women including Viola were assigned to the 5th Army Airways Communication System based in London. They were the first WAC's to be assigned to the AACS in London and arrived just as the buzzbombs were bombarding. Viola's primary job was to establish living quarters for 30 enlisted WACs. The women were organized into a company that preformed teletype operations, worked as drivers and administrative specialists, censored outgoing mail among other duties. They worked long hours six days a week while dodging the V1s and V2s.\n \nViola met her future husband, Captain Dewey S. McClellan, at a dinner in Hyde Park for 60 AACS people. Both were Captains and both part of the AACS. Dewey was from California and Viola from Florida. They were married on July 1, 1945 at St Peters Church on Vere St. in London. Viola was able to get a wedding dress from the Red Cross. All AACS personnel in the London area, officer and enlisted, were invited to attend the wedding and reception held at the WAC's billets.

She and Dewey were unable to get quarters together and eventually decided to go home. They were able to fly back to the US in a B-17, Dewey being one of the pilots.

Elmer and 97 other civilian prisoners were gunned down by the Japanese in October 1943. In 1946 a newspaper article told of several survivors of Japanese prison camps getting in touch with Uncle Elmer's parents relating what a wonderful job he did helping man the guns during the battle.

He received his associate degree in June 1940 from Taft Junior College. In October of that year he attended a Private Flying School in Santa Maria, California for 8 weeks. He graduated November 30, 1940.  As Dewey was eager to fly and the US was not in WW II yet, he and a friend looked into flying for the Royal Canadian Air Force. Instead Dewey became an Aviation Cadet in the US Army. He graduated from the Air Corps Training Center at Luke Field in Arizona on January 9, 1942. He went into active service January 9, 1942 as a second lieutenant and was stationed at Morrison Field, Florida. He was assigned to the Air Corp Ferring Command.  Dewey flew four-engine aircraft from the US to England and the US to India. He was a crew commander and was assigned to the 3rs ferrying group of the Air Transport Command.\nLater Captain Dewey McClellan became a pilot and Communications Officer for the 5th Army Airways Communication System based in London. He installed and flight checked communications equipment and navigational aids for all aircraft, US and allied, in the European Theater of operations. \n \nLondon was where he met his future wife, my mother, Captain Viola Smith. They were both part of the 5th AACS and met at a wiener roast in Hyde Park. They were married July 1, 1945 in the Church of England on Vere Street in London. All AACS personal in the London area, officer and enlisted, were invited to attend the wedding and reception.

They worked long hours six days a week while dodging the V1s and V2s.\n \nViola met her future husband, Captain Dewey S. McClellan, at a dinner in Hyde Park for 60 AACS people. Both were Captains and both part of the AACS. Dewey was from California and Viola from Florida. They were married on July 1, 1945 at St Peters Church on Vere St. in London. Viola was able to get a wedding dress from the Red Cross. All AACS personnel in the London area, officer and enlisted, were invited to attend the wedding and reception held at the WAC's billets. They honeymooned in Torquay in the south of England.\n \nAfter the victory in Japan, the AACS headquarters was moved to Wiesbaden, Germany. In Wiesbaden Viola set up housing for her WACs. She and Dewey were unable to get quarters together and eventually decided to go home. They were able to fly back to the US in a B-17, Dewey being one of the pilots. Unfortunately, her homecoming was bittersweet as she found out that her brother was one of 97 civilian prisoners on Wake Island gunned down by the Japanese in October 1943.\n \nCharles Elmer Smith or Elmer as everyone called him, was born in Grant Florida on January 15, 1916 and he died October 1943. He was the 7th child and my Mother, Viola B Smith, was the 8th.  They were close and being the youngest two, grew up together. My Mother has written a paper entitled \"What I remember about Charles Elmer Smith.\"  This paper describes their relationship.\n \nSmith was a civilian construction worker, welder, on Wake Island in 1941 helping to construct an air base.  He was one of 1150 civilian contractors captured by the Japanese in December of that year. Soon after this happened Viola enlisted in the Woman's Army Corp to help bring him home faster. According to my mother, Grandma traveled to Cassadaga, FL in hopes of gaining spiritual information on her son.\n \nMy Mother found out after the war ended that he never made it off Wake Island. Elmer and 97 other civilian prisoners were gunned down by the Japanese in October 1943. In 1946 a newspaper article told of several survivors of Japanese prison camps getting in touch with Uncle Elmer's parents relating what a wonderful job he did helping man the guns during the battle.  He was also given command of the men remaining on the island.  The letter from the Navy included the following: \"The knowledge that your son was doing his part for the defense of this nation should console you in your bereavement.\"\n \nDewey S McClellan was born in Oceanside, California on July 25,1920 and he died July 9,1998. He received his associate degree in June 1940 from Taft Junior College. In October of that year he attended a Private Flying School in Santa Maria, California for 8 weeks. He graduated November 30, 1940.  As Dewey was eager to fly and the US was not in WW II yet, he and a friend looked into flying for the Royal Canadian Air Force. Instead Dewey became an Aviation Cadet in the US Army. He graduated from the Air Corps Training Center at Luke Field in Arizona on January 9, 1942. He went into active service January 9, 1942 as a second lieutenant and was stationed at Morrison Field, Florida. He was assigned to the Air Corp Ferring Command.  Dewey flew four-engine aircraft from the US to England and the US to India. He was a crew commander and was assigned to the 3rs ferrying group of the Air Transport Command.\nLater Captain Dewey McClellan became a pilot and Communications Officer for the 5th Army Airways Communication System based in London. He installed and flight checked communications equipment and navigational aids for all aircraft, US and allied, in the European Theater of operations. \n \nLondon was where he met his future wife, my mother, Captain Viola Smith. They were both part of the 5th AACS and met at a wiener roast in Hyde Park. They were married July 1, 1945 in the Church of England on Vere Street in London. All AACS personal in the London area, officer and enlisted, were invited to attend the wedding and reception. They honeymooned in Torquay in the south of England.\nAfter victory in Japan, the AACS headquarters was moved to Wiesbaden, Germany. Unable to get quarters together, they eventually were able to fly back to the US in a B-17, Dewey being one of the pilots. Dewey's date of separation was December 29, 1946.\n \nThese biographies were written by Susan Smith, the donor of this collection,  in November 2020. Susan Smith is the daughter of Viola B.

Without knowing where they were going, 18,000 men and 500 women crammed onboard the refitted troopship RMS Queen Elizabeth sailing out of New York and headed for Europe.
