LOPEZ, Enrique (Henry)
From Islapedia
LOPEZ, Enrique (Henry) (c. 1873- ), Santa Cruz Island Company employee whom Clifford McElrath described as: “a blacksmith who was a genius as a mechanic. He could do all the repair work and maintenance on wagons, plows, etc., could forge out as good a pair of pruning shears as one could buy in a hardware store, or could clean and repair a fine watch without even a magnifying glass such as watchmakers use. He was a large, powerful man and truly fit the description of a strong silent man.” [On Santa Cruz Island, p. 6].
