Patti I found a Victor L. HENRY, in the 1939, S.F. City Directory, living at 42 Lower Terrace, listed as a gardener. In the 1938, one, there is a Victor HENRY, living at 427 9th, no job listed. Will check the early ones in the 30's to see if he is listed, and see if we can get a first name of his wife. So that the PRE 1940 C.A.D.I., can be checked to find her date of death.
