Steddom Drive
South San Gabriel, Los Angeles Co., California

William Fred [2035] Steddom and his brother, Henry Arthur [2038] Steddom, Sr. show their amusement at finding a street in South San Gabriel, California bearing the name of Steddom Drive. They had their picture taken to commemorate the event. Steddom Drive is a short street near the junction of Potrero Drive and Del Mar Avenue. The street was named for Dr. Frank (Francis) [921] Steddom, who considered himself a pioneer in the area. He liked to recall that many of the sidewalks were nothing more that board-walks when he first came to the west coast. (From "Tracing the Steddom Name" by Arthur R. [2004] Steddom, c1971.
