Dolores Lenora Wakefield-Yebra (1929–2001)
BIRTH 8 FEB 1929 • Santa Rosa South, Sonoma County, California, USA
DEATH 18 MAR 2001 • Ontario, San Bernardino, California, United States of America
Name Meaning: WAKEFIELD- English: habitational name from the city of Wakefield in West Yorkshire, and probably also from a place of the same name in Northamptonshire. Both are named from an Old English wacu 'vigil', 'festival' (a derivative of wac(i)an 'to watch or wake') + feld 'pasture', 'open country', i.e. a patch of open land where a fair was held. Dictionary of American Family Names © Patrick Hanks 2003, 2006.
FAMILY HISTORY: Orin Leroy Wakefield Sr. (1906–1962) and Mary Delores Schnoor-Wakefield (1906–1990) married on April 6, 1927. 53-days later, Orin Leroy Wakefield born on 29 May 1927 and died the next day. Two years later, Mary gave birth to a baby girl.
BIRTH: Delores Lenora Wakefield was born on February 8, 1929 in Santa Rosa South, Sonoma County, California, her father, Orin Leroy Wakefield Sr. (1906–1962) was 22 and her mother, Mary Delores Schnoor-Wakefield (1906–1990) was 22.
1930's SAN FRANCISO: The Great Depression of the 1930's hit the Bay Area as hard as everywhere else. There were strikes, riots, poverty and fear. Two men were lynched in San Jose, 150 striking farmworkers were rounded up like cattle in rural Contra Costa County, there was a "red scare" in Salinas and what looked like revolution in San Francisco. The unemployment rate, only 3 percent in 1925, was 25 percent in 1933. Businesses suddenly cut back. People were laid off, couldn't pay their bills, couldn't find a new job. In those days, there was no such thing as unemployment insurance. No welfare, no social security, nothing.
According to 1930 census date, Orin Sr. was a painting contractor and had attended a year of college while Mary only completed 8th grade, Orin Sr's dad was born in Oregon while Mary's dad was born in California. 5-years earlier, the family was living in San Francisco.
1935: When Delores was 6, The Wakefield's moved from Santa Rosa to 475 Evergreen in Daly City, a home they purchased for $2,900.
BIRTH OF BROTHER: On June 20, 1938, when Delores was 9 1/2, Orin Leroy Wakefield Jr (1938–1981) was born. Her parents had been married 16 years at this point, Mary was in her 30's and possibly Orin was a "surprise" pregnancy.
1940's SAN FRANCISO: The San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge opened in 1936 and the Golden Gate Bridge in 1937. The 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition was held on Treasure Island. At the same time the island of Alcatraz, a former military stockade, began its service as a federal maximum-security prison, housing notorious inmates such as Al Capone, and Robert Franklin Stroud, The Birdman of Alcatraz.
WORLD WAR II: During World War II, San Francisco was the major mainland supply point and port of embarkation for the war in the Pacific. It also saw the largest and oldest enclave of Japanese outside of Japan, Japantown, completely remove all of its ethnic Japanese residents as a result of Executive Order 9066 that forced all Japanese of birth or descent in the United States to be interned. By 1943 many large sections of the neighborhood remained vacant due to the forced internment.
The void was quickly filled by thousands of African Americans who had left the South to find wartime industrial jobs in California as part of the Great Migration. Many African Americans also settled in the Fillmore District and most notably near the Bayview-Hunters Point shipyards, working in the dry-docks there. The same docks at Hunters Point would be used for loading the key fissile components of the first atomic bomb onto the USS Indianapolis in July 1945 for transfer to Tinian.
RELATIONSHIP: Deloris met and had a relationship with Kenneth Luis Asman, also born in Santa Rosa South, possibly a neighbor however there are no families named 'Ausman' listed on the same census pages as Delores in either 1930 or 1940. At the time of this entry, little else is known about Kenneth.
BIRTH OF A SON: Mathew Luis Asman was born on April 17, 1948 in Sonoma County, California. Mathew's mother's name is listed as 'Wakefield' therefore it maybe safe to assume Delores, age 19 and Kenneth were not married at the time.
MARRIAGE: On April 27, 1978, 49-year-old Dolores L Wakefield married 54-year-old Edward Yebra in Orange County, California. There are 2 entries in the California Marriage Index, 1960-1985 for the bride of Edward Yebra (1924-unknown) Dolores L Wakefield and Dolores L Asman. At the time of this entry, no marriage or divorce decrees have been located.
DEATH: Dolores Lenora Wakefield-Yebra died March 18, 2001 in Ontario, San Bernadino County, California. She was 72. It is unknown if she was cremated as many of her relatives were or buried.
