Foskett and Elworthy



Frank Foskett and HH Elworthy supposedly met at Nortonville, CA. For many years they ran a meat business, acquiring several thousands of acres along the way. In 1911, they sold much of their land holdings and started First National Bank of Concord - the bank building still stands at Salvio and Galindo. Unfortunately, Foskett died at the relatively young age of 60 in 1919. The above image is taken from:
