Ted Law (my father) said on 9-26-90 that Leverette Taff was a graduate of Stanford University about 1923-1924....that he came from a well to do family in Palo Alto, California.
He had a good job but the company went bankrupt during the depression. So, he opened up a lunch room and made a living by selling sandwiches. (a sandwich shop in Oakland).
Ted Law delivered luncheon meats to him in Oakland, California during the 30's.
Leverette Taff married Marvel in the bay area....probably Oakland or Palo Alto.
Marvel had at least four girls. She lost her mind and died in an institution in Alameda Ted Law said, after one of her daughters was severely injured in an auto accident and her husband was killed.
