Thank you for this info, it helped us confirm that his son, William Grant LeBarr was one of our founding members of the Phoenix Fire Department, Yucatec Hose Company!
Yucatec Hose Company did so much for the community.
Yes the Yucatec did much for the community! And, we discovered a few years ago that we have a Fire Chief over all the companies, Julio de Marron. He was peer-selected to be Assistant Fire Chief in 1897 and was chosen to be the Fire Chief in 1898. The peer selection was by the Yucatec as well as the 5 other companies, all white.
