Note
The Dockweiler family has been closely intertwined with the course of Los Angeles religious, political, and civic life. Mary Dockweiler Sooy was the daughter of Isidore Dockweiler and Gertrude Reeve Dockweiler. She was a prominent Los Angeles socialite, also very active in such charitable causes as the Los Angeles Orphanage Guild. She married twice, first to lawyer William Kenyon Young, son of the prominent California Democrat Milton K. Young, and after the former's death, she married Dr. Daniel Sooy. First Century Families, founded by Mary Emily Foy (1862-1962), is an organization dedicated to preserving the history of Los Angeles' earliest settlers.
