Sunnyvale Voices - Hendy Family Saga

“My name is Marian Hendy Rust. My father was Samuel Hendy Jr., son of Samuel Hendy Sr., who was the nephew of Joshua Hendy, the founder of Joshua Hendy Iron Works. I’d like to share with you in my own words the saga of the Hendy family.”

This story was made possible through a Library Services & Technology grant from the California State Library. The goal of the Sunnyvale Voices project was to record and provide access to the early history of Sunnyvale as told by Sunnyvale residents. A compilation video of all stories recorded for this project, titled “Sunnyvale Voices: From Settlers to Silicon,” is available for checkout in the Library collection.
