[edit] "pioneer family" branch of Duarte and Monrovia, California

Shrode Avenue, in Monrovia and Duarte, is named for this branch of the family.

  • Reverend David Shaw Shrode bought a few parcels of land from Dr. Nehemiah Beardslee, one of numerous people that bought parcels from Rancho Azusa de Duarte owner AndrĂ©s Duarte. He was a blacksmith and wagoner by trade. He also served as the minister of the local Southern Baptist Church parish and superintendent of the parish's Sunday school. The Southern Baptist Church was the first Abrahamic church to have a parish in the community; the parish site is now the site of the Duarte Library.[1]
  • Jacob "Jake" Shrode was a member of the Duarte-Monrovia Fruit Exchange, a consortium that represented the marketing interests of the various fruit growers of the city of Monrovia and the community of Duarte. He also served as both an officer and the director of the Beardslee Water Ditch District, an agency founded by Dr. Beardslee for the purpose of distributing water throughout the community.[2]
  • Viola Shrode was a teacher at Duarte School (later the headquarters of the Duarte Unified School District, now an Old Spaghetti Factory restaurant). She and her husband co-wrote the first record of Duarte's history; this record served as the basis of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Rancho Azusa de Duarte.[3]
  • Doctor Ida May Shrode worked as an instructor at Pasadena City College. She also followed in her father's footsteps by serving as both an officer and the director of the Beardslee Water Ditch District and as a board member of the Duarte-Monrovia Fruit Exchange. Her doctoral dissertation, published in 1948 by the University of Chicago as The Sequent Occupance of the Rancho Azusa de Duarte, is said be a rare (if not unique) snapshot of American historical research conducted in that era.[4]
