ROY KRUGER

   A native of California, Roy Kruger was born in Merced County, four miles
south of the present site of the town of Gustine, on November 16, 1884, a son of
Charles and Sarah Kruger, the former a native of Germany but a resident in
California since he was twenty-five years old, when he located in Merced County
and in time became the owner of an hundred-acre farm on which he raised hogs.
There are two boys in this family, Hartley, of Gustine, and Roy, the subject of
this review. The mother of our subject passed away when he was fourteen months
old; the father made his home in Glendale, Cal., for several years and died in
December, 1923.

   Roy Kruger attended the Enterprise district school, which is now in the
Gustine school district. At eighteen years of age he began to earn his own way
in the world and for eighteen months worked at the New Era Creamery. He then
learned the carpenter's trade, which he has since followed, and for the last ten
years he has been in the contract building business in Merced County. His good
workmanship and reliability have been the means of bringing him a comfortable
income and at the same time have aided in the development of his home town.

   At Riverdale, Cal., December 10, 1913, Mr. Kruger was married to Miss Saidie
Bradley, born at Mustang, Merced County, a daughter of W. T. and Frances (Leek)
Bradley. There were four children in the Bradley family: Cora, now the wife of
William O. Brown; Eba, now Mrs. Jerome Harlan; Maude, married Thomas Virgo and
is deceased; and Saidie, the wife of our subject. Mrs. Kruger received her
education at the Clay district school in Merced County. Fraternally, Mr. Kruger
is affiliated with Merced Lodge No. 1240, B. P. O. E. of Merced and politically
is a Republican. Mr. Kruger built his present home in Gustine ten years ago and
his interest centers in the locality where he has spent his entire lifetime.
