Intersting life of someone from the old neighborhood.

Herbie Worthington III

Herbie moved to 112th as a young teen about 1959. He lived in the duplex on the first alley South of our house next to Mrs Sideners two story.

I knew him and sometimes hung around with him till Elma and I moved out of the area. We lost contact for many years, but I looked him up about 10 years ago.

It was the beige one across the alley. Now that I see it, it was two separate buildings on the same narrow lot. Bob Boney lived in the  house you circled.

Hi Al,

Thanks for the correction.  I've attached a Google maps view of that alley intersection with 112th and circled the duplex I think your referring to.  Is that the right one? - Johnny<Berendo & 112th B.jpg>

Hi Johnny,

Actually, I meant East. It was on the North side of 112th. My mistake.

I supplied the pictures of him with his cars and in his garage.

Hi Al,

Thanks for sharing the info on Herbie.  I'm a little confused as to where he lived.  You said in the duplex on the first alley south of your house, but south of your house would be in the direction of Imperial Hwy.  Did you mean first alley West of your house?

Ted and Rudy Lara (ca 1950s)

No, it would have been closer to 1950 if he was 8. I don't know how many older brothers he had but it was a bunch. I'll check with Rudys' son soon. The father's name was Theodore so I bet one son was junior. And I think there also may be an Ed. - Al


Hi Al,
You sent us some photos of the Laras in 2000 and I posted them at http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jdumas/berendo//AlTrip050800.html .  The eleventh picture down on that web page shows Ted (in sailor uniform) and Rudy.  Rudy looks to me to be about 8 or 9 years old.  If Ted was a sailor, would that have been late WWII years?  A couple of photos down further is a picture of "Ed" Lara which I'm guessing might have been Ted at a younger age. Comment?

Just that they were there before about 1920. Rudy's grandfather  Lara was a stone mason and built the house, probably with  his brothers help.
Some time in the 40's they built the house in the back where Rudy was raised. I assume they rented out the front house after the grandparents died.
The also owned the corner lot that was empty for many years. I forget if he said there once was a house there before Imperial was widened.

Thanks Al,
Do you know anything of the history of the Lara house?

He was my age, 71.  He was the last Lara to live in the area. His son will stay in the house long enough to sell it.  Two of Rudy's much older brothers are still alive but don't live in the neighborhood.
