Samuel Heywood (Berkeley)
- Samuel Heywood (Berkeley)
Samuel Heywood (November 16, 1833-May 9, 1903) was a prominent early resident of Berkeley, California. He served as the President of the Town Board of Trustees during 1889-1890.
Samuel Heywood was born in St. Stephen, New Brunswick in Canada. His parents were Zimri Brewer Heywood and Hannah Cooper. The Heywood family came to California in the 1850s, settling on the east shore of San Francisco Bay in an area which became the unincorporated town of Ocean View, and later, West Berkeley. Zimri established a lumberyard at a small pier at what is now the foot of Delaware Street sometime during the 1850s. He joined with the original builder of the pier, sea captain James H. Jacobs, to improve and enlarge it into a full-fledged freight wharf, thenceforth called the Jacobs and Heywood Wharf.
Samuel Heywood married Emma Francis Dingley May 4, 1874. They had four children: Amy H. (b.September, 1876), Henrietta (b.April, 1879), Gertrude B. (b.April, 1880), and Charles Dingley (b.May 5, 1881). His son Charles served as Mayor of the City of Berkeley from 1913 to 1915.
Samuel died in Berkeley in 1903. His wife died on September 30, 1915.
