Father Dempsey is survived by a sister, Mrs. N. Galvin, who was reared in Oak- land and was an able assistant to her father, handling much of his business for him. She has a daughter, Miss Irene Patricia Galvin.
The funeral of Father Dempsey was held January 24, 1928, and was attended by a vast concourse of church dignitaries and priests, St. Francis de Sales church being filled to overflowing, while hundreds, unable to gain admission, lined the streets outside. The services were beautiful and impressive and bore eloquent testi- mony to the exalted place which the deceased held in the hearts of his co-religious workers, who felt that in his death they had lost not only one of their ablest men, but a friend and brother. Of the many beautiful and eulogistic tributes paid to his memory on this occasion, the following brief excerpts are given, touching his life and character : Archbishop Hanna-"He saw the glory of Christ, the dignity of the priesthood, and in the fullness of his love and the fullness of sacrifice con- secrated himself to this ideal * * * If you ask for his monument, think not only of the material things, but also of the temples of God he has builded in the souls of men. *
* To his love of humanity, he joined unusual strength of character, which made him stand for what was right and true and just, no matter what the consequences. A man of childlike simplicity and directness ;

John J. Cox. grand knight, Knights of Columbus-"He was a priest of God and faithful unto the end to that sacred trust." Judge William J.

J. Scannell, president Holy Names Society-"His activities in civic better- ment and the general welfare of the community made him an invaluable leader to the community at large." Mrs. George W. McMasters, Vincentian Relief Society -- "It will be many years before such an unselfish man can be replaced in our church and in the community. The loss of Father Dempsey is a great blow to the charitable organizations of the East Bay district."
FERDINAND SCHULTZ
One of the ablest and best known restaurateurs in the Bay district is Ferdinand Schultz, who owns and conducts The Alabam, at Junction City, Alameda county, and The Yellowstone Buffet Luncheon, at 22 Montgomery street, San Francisco. He has devoted his life to his present line of business, in which he is an acknow]- edged expert, and enjoys an enviable reputation throughout this part of the state.
Mr. Schultz was born in Hamburg, Germany, and is a son of August Schultz, a successful hotel proprietor and restaurant man, under whose supervision the son gained a practical knowledge of the business. The latter received his education in the public schools of his home city and when eighteen years of age came to the United States. He stopped in New York city, where he was employed as chef at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel for six years, after which he became chef on the "Nor- mania" and the "Bismarck" of the Hamburg-American line, on which he crossed the Atlantic ocean thirty-two times. He then went to the Hotel Touraine in Boston, where he remained for three years, after which he became chef at the Iroquois Hotel in Buffalo, New York, remaining there for five years. On the day before President McKinley's assassination, Mr. Schultz had charge of the banquet given in his honor at the State building at the fair grounds, and there he saw and spoke to Mr. Mc- Kinley. His next position was at the Auditorium Annex in Chicago, with which he was connected until 1909, when he came to San Francisco. He served one and a half years as steward for John Taits, after which he served in the same capacity at the celebrated "Portola Louvre" in San Francisco for five years.
From there Mr. Schultz went to Oakland, where he took charge of Pabst's cafe on Eleventh street, owned at that time by Captain Pabst, the Milwaukee brewer. After managing that place for seven years, he bought it, taking a ten-year lease from the owner, and he ran that place until the prohibition law went into effect, when he sublet it. In 1924 Mr. Schultz built the Toyon Inn, at Junction City, an exclusive and high priced place, and conducted it until 1928, when he remodeled it and renamed it The Alabam. Since that time he has run it as a popular priced eating place and pleasure resort, a splendid dancing floor, thirty-five by forty-five
572
HISTORY OF ALAMEDA COUNTY
feet in size, with a splendid seven-piece orchestra, affording entertainment for those who desire to dance. At this place there are no cover charges, no coat room charges and free parking space is provided. This has become one of the most popular places in the entire Bay district, as is abundantly testified by the capacity crowds which throng it. He made a pronounced success of the Toyon Inn, and is more than re- peating it at The Alabam. Mr. Schultz has the land where he is now located leased for ten years, with an option for purchase. He is also the proprietor of The Yellowstone Buffet Lunch, in San Francisco, which is one of the most popular eat- ing places in that city. He spends part of the day at each place, usually being at the San Francisco place at noon and at Junction City in the evening. Though he thus gives his personal supervision to these places, he employs a manager at each one and is relieved of much of the details of their operation. He employs thirty people at The Alabam and pays particular attention to the cuisine, of which there is no better judge, and is insistent that nothing but the very best food shall be served to his patrons, a fact which is fully appreciated by the public. Mr. Schultz's reputation as a high class caterer has drawn the best class of people from Oakland, San Jose, San Leandro, Hayward and other East Bay towns and he is enjoying well merited prosperity. His manager at The Alabam, W. J. Maher, was born at Virginia City, Nevada, where his father owned a large dry goods store in the palmy days of the Comstock mine, and was later in the same line of business at Grass Valley, Nevada county, California. Mr. Maher is thoroughly competent, being a man of wise discrimination and mature judgment, is cordial and affable in manner, and is deservedly popular with the patrons of the place.
In 1906, in Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. Schultz was united in marriage to Miss Anna Zurich, who was born in Budapest, Hungary. Mr. Schultz took out his naturaliza- tion papers in San Francisco and has given his political support to the republican party. He is a member of Oakland Lodge No. 171, B. P. O. E., and of the Athens Athletic Club of that city. He has shown a marked spirit of enterprise in all of his affairs, has maintained high ideals in the operation of his business, and his efforts to satisfy his patrons have gained for him their appreciation and esteem.
ROY O. LONG
Roy O. Long, who is successfully engaged in the real estate and insurance busi- ness in Berkeley, is a native of California, having been born in Petaluma, Sonoma county, September 6, '1888, and he was educated in the schools of that place. He was first connected with the brokerage business in Tonopah, Nevada, and later did special reportorial work on the San Francisco Examiner. In 1908 he came to Berkeley and was given charge of the leasing department of the Mason-McDuffie Company, realtors. It was in 1913 that he started in business for himself in a small way, renting office space in a store, and he has since built up a large real estate and insurance business. He now has in his employ twenty-eight people and has a well equipped office on Shattuck avenue, built in Old Mission style. He has built and sold over five hundred residences in the better sections of Berkeley and Pied- mont and has also erected several apartment houses. He purchased a block from
573
HISTORY OF ALAMEDA COUNTY
the Southern Pacific Railrad on Shattuck Square and has there erected a modern building which he recently sold for one million and a half dollars.
Mr. Long has always taken an active and commendable interest in public affairs and for two terms he efficiently served as president of the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce. At present he is vice president of the Western Housing Corporation, a finance company, and is also president of the Richmond San Rafael Bridge Com- pany, of which he was one of the promoters. This company was organized to con- struct a bridge across the bay from Richmond to San Rafael. Mr. Long is also a member of the Berkeley Realty Board, is president of the Boy Scouts and is past exalted ruler of Berkeley Lodge, No. 1002, B. P. O. E. He has given his personal efforts and influence in the promotion of those things which are calculated to better his community and is regarded as one of Berkeley's most enterprising and successful business men.
DENES KAROLY
Denes Karoly, president and manager of The Venus, Inc., at 1422 Broadway, Oakland, has gained a well earned reputation as an authority on pure food, which he has exemplified in his business, and his progressive and up-to-date methods have gained for him not only distinctive success in a material way, but also the respect and esteem of those who know him.
Mr. Karoly was born in Hungary on the 9th of October, 1887, and is a son of Joseph and Agnes (Szelagyi) Karoly. The mother died when Denes was but four years old, while the father passed away in 1921, just when his son was preparing to make him a visit at the old home. Denes Karoly was reared at home and attended the public schools, and at the age of sixteen years began to learn the trade of cabi- netmaking. In 1906, when almost twenty years old, he came to the United States, locating first at Newcastle, Pennsylvania, where he remained about three months. In 1907 he came to California and engaged in French polishing, which he had thor- oughly learned and which consisted of the painting and finishing of all kinds of interior woodwork, such as is found in churches and the better class of residences. On his arrival here he found business conditions in a very depressed state, and as he could not speak the English language he had a hard time securing employ- ment, but he persisted and devoted himself closely to learning the language and in getting acquainted with the customs of this country. He continued to work at his trade until 1913. He followed closely his father's parting injunction to "shun bad companions," kept himself closely in hand, and gained the respect of all with whom he associated. Determined to gain an independent position in the world, in 1914 he established his present business at 412 Fourteenth street, beginning in a modest way, and in his early efforts he was given invaluable assistance by his sister Teresa, whc was a proficient cook, and to her aid as much as any other he attributes the success which has crowned his efforts. Her death occurred in 1918. Mr. Karoly's earnest and persistent efforts were rewarded by increased business and in 1918 he located at 1422 Broadway, at which time he was joined by his brother, George Karoly, and the business was incorporated as The Venus. Fifty people are now employed and
574
HISTORY OF ALAMEDA COUNTY
the company manufactures ice cream, candies, rolls, bread and French pastries, and serves breakfasts, lunches and dinners, in which line it has gained marked popularity.
In 1922, as a result of his strenuous efforts to build up the business, Mr. Karoly's health broke down and in his efforts to recover he made a close and ex- haustive study of foods, their values and combinations from a health standpoint. The results of his research were twofold, not only gaining for him a restoration of his health, but giving him also a clearer insight into the future methods of preparing his food for public use, on which he has well defined opinions. In the making of ice cream and candy he permits the use of no coal tar dyes or other coloring matter which could be detrimental to health, buys only the highest grade of milk and cream, and insists on absolute purity in the manufacture of every product which he sells. Mr. Karoly also owns and operates a Pure Food store on East Fourteenth street, where he has built up a large and steadily increasing patronage among those who appreciate the value of the right kind of food. His hobby is furnishing the public the right kind of food, and that his efforts in this direction have been appre- ciated is evidenced by the large patronage which he enjoys.
In his political views Mr. Karoly is a republican, though in his choice of candi- dates he votes for the men whom he considers best fitted for public office. He is a member of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks; is a charter member of the Lions Club; and belongs to the Foresters of America, the Athens Athletic Club, the Safety Council, the Castlewood Country Club, of which he is a life member ; and the East Bay Asthafatic Club, of which he is a director. During the World war Mr. Karoly enlisted in the service of his adopted country, of which he is a loyal and patriotic citizen. He is, in the best sense of the term, a self-made man, his success being entirely due to his persistent and well directed efforts, and he is entitled to a large meed of credit for what he has accomplished. He is a man of earnest purpose and high ideals, and his business record and private life have made him well worthy of the high regard in which he is held by all who know him.
MELF I. SCHWEEN
In commercial circles of Berkeley no name commands more respect than that of Melf I. Schween, whose business career has stamped him as a man of marked ability and judgment. Additional interest attaches to his record from the fact that he is essentially a self-made man, having started here with very limited resources, and his outstanding success is the outcome of his determined and persistent efforts, backed by right principles and high ideals, and today he stands in the front rank of the business men of the East Bay district.
Mr. Schween was born in Bredstedt, Denmark, on the 24th of February, 1861, and was there reared, attending school to the age of sixteen years. He was then apprenticed to learn the trade of a baker and confectioner, at which he served five years and for which schooling he paid one hundred marks yearly. In 1883, when twenty-two years old, he came to the United States, locating in New York city, where he worked at his trade, and later established a grocery store on West Fifty-
575
HISTORY OF ALAMEDA COUNTY
first street. In 1896, because of the illness of his father, he went back to Bredstedt and took charge of his father's grocery business, and after the death of his parent, he continued the business until 1911, when he sold out and again came to this country.
Mr. Schween then located in San Francisco, and the next year came to Berkeley and, with very limited capital, he and his wife opened a grocery, bakery and deli- catessen store at 2071 University avenue. Close attention to business and judicious management brought success and during the subsequent years the business steadily increased until today it is the leading concern in its line in Berkeley. In the course of time the old quarters were outgrown and in 1922 Mr. Schween moved to his present location at 2068 University avenue, where he has an up-to-date and attrac- tive store, in which he carries a full line of groceries, meats, fruits, vegetables, delicatessen goods and a modern bakery, he being the oldest baker in point of years of service in the city. He is a member of the United Grocers, Inc., a national corpo- ration, which buys in quantities and at prices that enable its members to successfully compete with the chain stores. Mr. Schween is a director of the California and Nevada division of this corporation, comprising three hundred and fifty members, and which did a business of four million dollars in 1927. As Mr. Schween has prospered he has wisely invested in real estate and is the owner of a fine apartment house at Grant avenue and Berkeley way, and also owns a comfortable and attractive home. He is a director of the Armstrong School of Business in Berkeley.
In New York city Mr. Schween was united in marriage to Miss Wilhelmina Schleyer, a native of Germany, and they are the parents of two daughters : Johanna, now the wife of Alfred Denk; and Christel, who is a student in the University of California.
Mr. Schween is a member of the Berkeley Rotary Club and has shown a public- spirited interest in the progress and welfare of his community, and he commands the unqualified confidence and esteem of his fellowmen, who recognize his achieve- ments and appreciate his genuine worth as a man and citizen.
FRANK CLINTON MERRITT
Frank Clinton Merritt, a lifelong resident of Oakland, where he is now serving as city clerk, enjoys an enviable reputation as one of the most popular and capable public officials of Alameda county. His birth here occurred on the 28th of July, 1889, his parents being John Josiah and Agnes (Clinton) Merritt, the former born in Council Bluffs, Iowa, December 13, 1849, and the latter in New Orleans, Louisiana, November 19, 1849. He is descended from a family of old American establishment, its first representatives in this country having emigrated from England in 1635 and settled in New Amsterdam, New York. Both his paternal and maternal ancestors bore an active part in the formation of this country during Revolutionary times. Through his grandfather, James Clinton, who was born in Ireland in 1809 and who emigrated to America in 1824, relationship may be traced to the family of the Earl of Lincoln. Branches of the Clinton family were actively engaged in the Revolutionary war, and the importance of their service may be summed up in the
576
HISTORY OF ALAMEDA COUNTY
sentence of Rev. John Blake, who stated : "Brigadier-General James Clinton com- manded under Governor Clinton at Fort Clinton, from which when attacked and taken by Sir Henry Clinton, General Clinton, though severely wounded, escaped." Each of the Clintons mentioned in this sentence belonged to the same family. The grandson of the governor, DeWitt Clinton, was one of the most powerful statesmen who ever lived in the commonwealth of New York. The family has held its own through the years and through marriage has become connected with scores of dis- tinguished families.
The paternal grandmother of Frank C. Merritt, whose maiden name was Sarah Van Groesbeck, was a direct descendant of Sergeant John Bovee of George Wash- ington's army, a scion of Old Dutch stock which in the seventeenth century emi- grated to New Amsterdam from Holland. Judge Josiah Merritt, paternal grand- father of F. C. Merritt, was born in Orange county, New York, in 1796, and came to California in 1849. He was subsequently chosen the first county judge of Mon- terey county. James Clinton, the maternal grandfather of Mr. Merritt of this review, came to California via Panama with his family in 1853 and later established a large ranch in Contra Costa county.
In the acquirement of an education Frank C. Merritt attended the public schools of Oakland until graduated as a high school student in June, 1908. The following year he was a member of a field surveying party in the employ of the Western Pacific Railway of San Francisco and on the 3d of March, 1910, was appointed extra clerk in the office of the city clerk of Oakland. In 1913 he was promoted to the position of head clerk, two years later was made chief deputy and on the 10th of January, 1927, assumed his present important duties as city clerk of Oakland. The city clerk's office in Oakland is a model of municipal efficiency and is generally recognized throughout the United States as one of the most modern offices of its kind. A striking example is the fact that the use of manuscript has been entirely eliminated in the making of public records. Mr. Merritt is half owner of an eighty-acre ranch in Merced county, where he engages in the raising of barley, alfalfa, rice and hogs.
On the 9th of January, 1916, in St. Patrick's church of Oakland, Mr. Merritt was united in marriage to Helen Kingston, who was born in Oakland, January 13, 1894, and who is a graduate of St. Joseph's Convent and a member of Aloha Parlor of the Native Daughters of the Golden West. Her parents, Richard and Margaret Kingston, were born in Ireland. The former, who passed away in 1927, was a retired employe of the Southern Pacific Company after forty-six years of service. Mr. and Mrs. Merritt are the parents of three children, all born in Oakland, namely: Geraldine Alice, whose natal day was May 10, 1917; George Clinton, whose birth occurred March 8, 1920; and Barbara May, born May 23, 1923.
Mr. Merritt gives his political support to the republican party and is widely recognized as a most progressive, enterprising and public-spirited citizen. During the period of the World war, in 1917 and 1918, he was directly in charge of all draft registration for the United States in the city of Oakland, while in 1919 he served as secretary of the Oakland War Memorial Committee. He is a devout communicant of the Roman Catholic church and a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Loyal Order of Moose, the Young Men's Christian Association and the Homeless Children's Committee. He is past president of Brooklyn Parlor of the Native Sons of the Golden West and served as grand historiographer of the organ-
577
HISTORY OF ALAMEDA COUNTY
ization from 1920 until 1925. He aided in securing copies of the records of Spain for the history department of the University of California, which work is sponsored and paid for by the Native Sons, and in fact for many years past Mr. Merritt has actively assisted in the task incident to the preservation of the historical records of California. He belongs to the California State Historical Society, is past president of the Native Sons Service Club, president of the Lincoln Grammar School Asso- ciation of Oakland, is a charter member of the Veteran Firemen's Association of Oakland and served as secretary of Oakland Wheelmen, Athletic Club, from 1913 until 1915. His thorough understanding of municipal government, supplemented by years of experience in city affairs, caused his election in 1923 as president of the League of California Municipalities, in which capacity he was the head of all city officials of the state. Mr. Merritt has long enjoyed high standing in social, fraternal and civic circles of his native city and county, where his friends are legion.
