Note:
Frank Daubenbiss (the donor's great uncle) and Gladys Daubenbiss Thorp (the donor's grandmother) were grandchildren of John
Daubenbiss, Soquel pioneer and one of the earliest white settlers in the area. He became a naturalized Mexican citizen before
the American conquest, participated in the Mexican War, and later owned land in the Santa Cruz area.
Frank E. Daubenbiss, Jr. was an amateur photographer, a box of whose work was included in this donation but has been removed
to be cataloged separately.
Stanley Smith (the donor's father), was a land surveyor who grew up in Santa Cruz County and served in World War II with the
Army Engineering Corps. He saved the issues of "Stars and Stripes" included in this donation, which have been removed for
separate cataloging.
Carolyn Thorp Smith (the donor's mother) served in the Women's Army Air Corps during World War II and was stationed in North
Africa and Italy.
