In the 40s several family members from Ohio went to see David A. Baker and Ralph Clarence Kennedy in California. This is the set of pictures of the family doing different activities. They went to the beach, Redwood Forest, Steinhart Aquarium in San Francisco and David Baker's almond orchard.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. Can you tell us more about your grandfather Ralph Kennedy? I have also been trying to find out more about my great uncle David Baker that went to California. Can you tell us more?
DeleteI happen to be currently living in the house at 482 Islay and love reading information like this about the history and families that lived here before. Thanks for sharing. Barry
ReplyDeleteThank you. I have never been to the place but my family years ago was. I believe Ralph Kennedy was Mayer of your town at one time.
ReplyDeleteYes he was our Mayor at one time. I am creating a blog about this family and will share when complete.
