My dad joined the war effort in 1941, and my mom and sister lived on ranch property with the other family women so she more then I remembers much more history. I do remember driving to the General Store with my grandmother, Iva. <br />I am beyond excitement to find memories of the ranch that I knew until early 50's.

They lived in Los Nietos until around 1911 when they all moved to Whittier and lived on what was then, Sixth Street. My father was born on the Murphy Ranch, on Catalina Street in April, 1918. My family lived in Whittier until the Great Depression in 1929. Like many Latino families, they moved to East Los Angeles. My dad returned to Whittier with his family in 1965. He lived in Whittier until he passed away in 2005. I continue to live in South Whittier, just a few miles where my family began their residence in 1905.

Robert Diaz, son of Caesar and Delia Diaz, must have been a grandson of Evaristo and Julia Diaz? Another classmate, Jessie Garcia was the son of Bolhito and Juana Garcia. I think a third classmate, Rose Marie Rosales, was from Murphy Ranch as well? Perhaps Robert Madrigal, too? We were all born about 1938.

They were Evaristo and Julia. Their children were Domingo, Cesar and Chita, (whose real name I can't recall). Evaristo and Julia were my parents' "compadres". I imagine your mother must be Chita. In the photo of the workers, my Father is in the rear row, third from the right, Cesar is in the 3rd row, 7th from the right. Youir Grandfather Evaristo is in the same row about 2/3rds from right to left.<br /><br />The photo of the workers is labelled "Murphy Ranch Co., Pickers and irrigators, East Whittier, Calif.
