1888 In Loving Memory 1949 Arthur Fredrick Duval was born on November 12, 1889 in Osage City, Kansas, the youngest of three children. He spent his early years in Osage City. It wasn't until sometime after the death of his mother when he was 16 that he came to California. In 1916, when he was 26, he is listed in the San Francisco directory as living at 2265 Mission St., Apt 28. Fred worked for the San Francisco Car Company about that time. He married Irene Sybil Weber on July 29, 1916 in San Francisco, California.
After marriage, Fred and Irene lived on and farmed an apricot-prune ranch, which today is at the corner of Purissima Ave. and Robleda Ave in Los Altos Hills. The 1920 census lists them as fruit farmers living on Purissima Road near her parents, Jacob and Margaret Weber. Fred's main employment though was at the "Palo Alto Hardware". He left to work for Westinghouse in Sunnyvale during World War II, but returned to work at the hardware store until his death in 1949.
Fred was also a good carpenter and put in the floor of the Purissima School. He became a school trustee on 19 June 1924.
Fred liked fishing and abalone hunting. At that time you could pick abalone off the rocks. His daughter Marion remembers going on a family fishing trip in the Klamath area where they stayed in a motel while it poured rain. Sometimes their neighbors, Mrs. Steineke and her daughters Marian and Maxine, would join them on camping trips. Her husband, Max Steineke, was away from home for long periods working as a geologist in Saudi Arabia.
A couple of years after Irene's death, about the summer of 1948, Fred married Rita Speicker. This unfortunate event was stressful on the entire family. Fred died on April 27, 1949, supposedly by suicide. He was buried about April 30, 1949 in California, Santa Clara Co., Palo Alto, Alta Mesa Cemetery.
Arthur Fredrick DUVAL and Irene Sybil WEBER were married on 29 Jul 1916 in USA, California, San Francisco Co., San Francisco.^25,27 DUVAL - WEBER - Frederick Duval, 27, 1266 Kansas street, and Irene S. Weber, 24, 59 Thirtieth street.

Irene W. Duval
wife and mother
1892 1946 Irene Sybil Weber was born on March 23, 1892 in Missoula, Montana. She lived in Missoula at least five years, since her brother was born there in the spring of 1897, but leaving sometime before 1900 when her family is listed in the census in Winnemuca, Nevada. The stay in Nevada was not long, by the time Irene was 10 her family was living in California. Irene is listed as a student in the second class at the new hilltop Purissima School, which started on 1 September 1902. The school at that time was in a fruit shed on the corner of Purissima Ave. and Robleda Ave., an area now part of Los Altos Hills.
Irene continued her education at the Normal School (now San Jose State University) to become a teacher. She taught in Bakersfield for a while at Beardsley School, living with her Aunt Rose (Breuer) Milan. When the large photograph of Bakersfield School hanging in Marion (Duval) Heiken's home was taken, she was the principal. Irene didn't care for teaching though and found other work. It was probably while she was working in a bakery in San Francisco that she met Fred Duval.

Like her mother, Irene enjoyed sewing. She also belonged to a Bridge Club with neighborhood women. When Fred and Irene got together with Steve and Adele DeWitt they would play Pinochle. While raising her family, Irene was very active in the school PTA. She would alternate with her neighbor, Emily Kilpatrick, being president or treasurer.
