my grandpa, Howard "Shorty" Scriverposing on Scriver Street in Santa Cruz, California
1979
Through the magic of Google (how did we ever do anything without Google?), I came across a transcription from the Santa Cruz Sentinel, dated 1932, that mentions my family in connection with Scriver Street:
Mrs. James Scriver was my great-grandmother's sister and the wife of my great-grandfather's brother (2 Scriver brothers married 2 Erickson sisters), and Genevieve Scriver was one of her daughters. Although I don't know the origins of the street name, it seems like too much of a coincidence to think that it wasn't named for the family. It's another story I'm hoping to uncover.
