Bertha Adeline (Walker) Kendall

(Wife of Fredrick W. Kendall (4th generation))

(Alonzo Burnham (A.B.) 3, Young Ichabod 2, Alphens 1)

Bertha Adeline Walker was born to Albert and Jane (nee Pride) Walker on July 20, 1868, in Redwood City, California. She was the third child to Albert and Jane, having an older sister Nellie and older brother Will. Bertha's parents divorced and Jane Walker remarried Michael Hogan. Jane and Michael would give Bertha a half-brother, Fred, and a half-sister, Mary. (Albert Walker, too, remarried and had 3 additional children - 2 girls and a boy.) The Hogan's moved their family to Manchester, California. It was in Manchester's schoolhouse where Bertha met Frederick Kendall.

Bertha and Fred married on May 19, 1886. They would have nine children together; Alfred Alonzo (1887-1953), Roy Raymond (1888-1968), Ethel (1890-1987), Courtney Clare (1892-1967), Doris (1894-1964), Lee Russell (1897-1968), Merle (1898-1991) and LaVerna (1907-still living as of 1992). Fred and Bertha lost one male child as an infant born in 1900.

Bertha and Fred moved from Manchester in 1908 to the San Joaquin Valley, in California. All but Alfred, who was already married and a father himself, made the move by boat to San Francisco and then by train to Laton. Fred and the boys farmed and dairied, with the exception of Russell who would go on to make his name in rodeo. Prior to the move, Fred, Roy, Clare and Russell herded their cattle to Cazadero where they were put on a narrow gauge railroad to Tiburon, crossed the San Francisco Bay by ferry, and completed their journey by train to Laton. Once settled, Fred sent for the rest of the family.

When ill health forced Fred to retire and sell off their land, he and Bertha first settled in Monterey, California, with their son, Russell, and later moved to Santa Rosa, California. Fred died on May 18, 1934 in Santa Rosa. Bertha died in Costa Mesa, California, at LaVerna's home on December 14, 1952. Both are buried in the Pleasant Hill Cemetary in Sebastopol, California.
