    Biography
    • From his obituary in the Covina Argus, 21 May 1937:
      Valley Friends Honor Henry Martin Kendall at Funeral Service
      Following several weeks of failing health, with the last two days of his life spent under treatment at Covina hospital, Henry Martin Kendall, 73 years old, pioneer rancher of the Baldwin Park-Irwindale district, died last Friday, and was laid to rest on Monday afternoon in Oakdale cemetery.
      Mr. Kendall's death was the closing of another chapter in the early life of this valley, and, although a quietly-disposed man who never sought prominence, his life and work here left distinct impressions on the community.
      He was born February 9, 1864, in Rowen county, Kentucky, the son of Lewis and Sarah Kendall, and was married to Ida May Brown, July 26, 1887, at Council Grove, Kansas. Mr. and Mrs. Kendall came to California forty-eight years ago living for some time in what was then known as Alasta, an early subdivision near Glendora. Afterwards they moved to Los Nietos, where he operated a blacksmith shop, the trade to which he fitted himself as a young man. In 1905, he moved to Irwindale district, purchasing bare land which he developed into the orange grove which is the present home at the corner of San Bernadino road and Orange avenue. From that time until 1916, he operated a blacksmith shop at that corner, and had a wide acquaintance with ranchers thruout the upper San Gabriel valley.
      Mr. Kendall was for a number of years a director in the Irwindale Citrus association, and also in the First National bank of Baldwin Park, and in the Baldwin Park Water company.
      Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Baldwin Park funeral parlors, when a eulogy was given of his life by Rev. S. W. Gage, former pastor of the Covina Baptist church, with the present pastor, Rev. V. C. Hayman, conducting the last rites. Mrs. Roy Haddick of Puente sang two numbers that had been appreciated in life by the deceased. The pallbearers were neighbors and men who had been associated with him in the citrus industry, including W. R. Searcy, H. A. Miller, C. W. Potter, C. J. Sullivan, William Anderson, and Leonard Reeg.
      Surviving him are his widow; three sons, Charles P. of Baldwin Park, Joseph L. of San Marino, and Arley Kendall of Whittier; one daughter, Mrs. Alba W. Hibsch of
      Baldwin Park; an adopted daughter, Gloria Kendall; and five grandchildren.
      Two children, Henry and Celia, passed away several years ago. A brother and a sister, Melwin Kendall and Celia Johnston, living in the east, also survive him.
      Mr. and Mrs. Kendall would have celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in July of this year.
