WILLIAM H. LAVAYEA.—This history presents the record of no other citizen more
thoroughly infused with the spirit of public progress than the subject of this
review, and Imperial Valley numbers him among its valued citizens. Mr. Lavayea
was born in Missouri, August 11, 1880, and is a son of William H. and Anna C.
(Fable) Lavayea. William H. acquired his education in the public schools in
California, where his parents removed when he was but seven years of age. After
completing his high school education he entered Stanford University, where he
remained until 1906. He then became identified with agricultural pursuits and
took an interest in and is a director in the People's Abstract Company, 616 Main
Street, El Centro, California, March 15, 1913. Fraternally he is affiliated with
the Masonic Lodge. Politically he is a Republican. Mr. Lavayea was married at
Pasadena, California, September 9, 1909, to Miss Gladys Grow. One daughter has
been born to this union, Eva Rea. The family of Mr. Lavayea originally came to
this country from France. His grandfather, Mador Lavayea, was in charge under
General Grant of the government yards in St. Louis and assisted in the
construction of the war vessels that took part in the Civil war. Mr. Lavayea has
a fine residence in El Centro, and both he and his wife take an active part in
the social life of that city.
