| Description |
Wedding picture of Joseph Frances Focha and Louisa Dabner. She was the daughter of John and Marie Dabner for whom Dabner Street was named. The Fochas had twelve children. One still survives, Rosaline Rocha Correia who is now 80 years old (1972). This picture was taken about 1871 or 1872. Joseph was descended from French people who had settled in the Azores. He came to San Leandro in the 1860's and worked as a carpenter. He built houses during the summer and worked for the San Leandro Plow Co. and the Best Mfg. during the winter. Louisa was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, the oldest daughter of Maria Machado and John Pimentel Davina, who had also come from the Azores. John brought his family to San Leandro around 1858 or 1859 to farm. Dabner Street is named for him. |
