Abraham Diaz

Abraham Diaz, member of a family whose home 
has been in Lone Pine since the early '70's, 
died in Lone Pine July 23rd, from a heart 
attack.  He was born in Santa Clara County, 
where his parents had come from Chili.  His 
father and uncle became prominent in Lone 
Pine affairs after their arrival there, as 
their successors have been since.

He was in the meat business in Keeler for a 
while and ranching near Big Pine.  The family 
moved to Canoga Park, near Los Angeles, in 
1921.  He and Mrs. Diaz were on their place 
near Big Pine when he became so ill that he 
was taken to the home of his brother in Lone 
Pine.

A son, Abraham junior, was one of Inyo's 
soldiers killed in action in the world war.  
Mr. Diaz is survived by a sister, Mrs. Ed 
Elder, and four brothers, Max, Rafael, Arthur 
and Eleutero, and his wife and four daughters, 
Mrs. Hagberg of Burbank, Misses Rose, Auguste 
and Marguerite Diaz.
