The Sederhuldens lived on Eddy Street in San Francisco with Rose's mother and two brothers. Leon was the youngest; his older brothers were Norvin and Robert, and his older sister was Isabel. His father died a few years after Leon's birth and Rose was forced to place the children in the Pacific Hebrews Orphan Asylum on Divisadero Street in San Francisco while she worked to support them.

The family lived on North Hudson Avenue, about two and one-half miles west of Disney studio in Kingwell Avenue. Walt Disney and his brother Roy O.
