ALVA B. CONDY
Representing the third generation of the Condy family in California, Alva B. Condy can well take pride in his heritage as a native son of the Golden State. His parents are James H. and Lillian (Burres) Condy, and the father, who was born in Philadelphia, came here with his mother in 1869, to join his father, James Condy, who had come to Stockton two years previously, a fuller account of their family history being given in the sketch of James A. Condy, elsewhere in this volume.
Alva B. Condy was born at Gilroy, Santa Clara County, June 30, 1885, and later, when the father removed to Angels Camp, Calaveras County, he attended school there. At the age of sixteen he started to work for the Utica Mining Company and for two years was a fireman, and twelve years was hoisting engineer. Coming to Stockton he entered the employ of the Monarch Foundry Company in January, 1916, and in the six years he was with them he held various positions, among them assistant furnace man, in charge of the electric furnace. In November, 1922, Mr. Condy purchased the grocery business of J.A. Hulbert, at 1248 South Sutter Street, and assisted by his capable wife he is meeting with splendid success in this new line of work. This store has been established for about ten years and enjoys a good patronage, which is increasing through the business policy of its new owners.
At Stockton on December 22, 1917, Mr. Condy was married to Mrs. Jessie (McLane) Tanner, a native of Arkansas and the daughter of Andrew T. McLane. They are the parents of a son, Lester. By Mrs. Condy's first marriage she had one daughter, Jessie Ruth Tanner. Mr. Condy is a stockholder in the Monarch Foundry Company and is the owner of valuable real estate in Stockton. Fraternally he is a member of the Foresters of America, of which he became past chief ranger in 1914.
