Individual Notes
• Signed guest book at wedding of Joy Folger Matteson and Eleanor Carlisle Eckart.6302, p 3
• Complete name based on 1 Jan 1998 letter from Philip Krusi, and name from Eckart genealogy index.8, Index,169
• They lived in Alamo/Danville, CA and had a ranch (The Yellowjacket) up at Calistoga, CA. At the time they raised and showed Arabian horses.
Leroy was a very successful businessman (electrical contractor or manufacturer, I don’t recall) and I think his son, George, now has the business which is in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Leroy’s relationship to me was that he and my mother had the same great grandparent from Switzerland.169
• LeRoy was against the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II and served as custodian of the property of some of these persons.
Awarded the French War Cross (Croix de guerre) for service in World War I.4533, p 1
• “I [Hermann Krüsi] remember one day with a similarly beautiful morning – possibly fourteen years ago – when our little family, increased by some boarders, one of whom was our trusty friend Dr. Farnham, walked for nearly a mile on the frozen, uneven ice, admiring the little ice-mounds and hills. I suppose little Gertie was too small to accompany us, but she welcomed her good friend Farnham on his return with her sweetest smile as, “Lily Roy” (Le Roy).4533, p 2
• I finally found out who “LeRoy Farnham” was – a friend of his grandfather’s (Hermann II) who was a boarder in his house and who, apparently, his children were fond of.4538
