Governor of California from 1887 to 1891, Robert Whitney Waterman and his family moved from Illinois to San Bernardino in 1873. In 1886 he bought and developed the Stonewall gold mine in Cuyamaca. He also established a cattle ranch there and helped build the San Diego, Cuyamaca, and Eastern Railroad. His son Waldo Sprague Waterman managed the mine until it closed in 1892. Waldo married Hazel Wood in 1889. After his death in 1903, she studied architecture under Irving Gill and became recognized as San Diego's first woman architect. Their son Waldo Dean Waterman achieved fame as a pioneer aviator.SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE:
