SIDEWALK SIGNATURES 
Clarence Feiock

Long Beach’s sidewalks contain impressed “signatures” of many pavers who plied their trade in the city. If your ancestor owned a construction company or worked for one of those cement contractors, our “Sidewalk Signatures” series will be of interest to you.

Clarence Feiock’s name appears in many Long Beach city directory advertising sections as a cement contractor; and, he and two of his sons, Gordon and Kenneth, are listed as cement workers in several householder indexes as well. In 1935 his entry looks like this: “Feiock, Clarence (Eliz M) cement contr 2037 E 7th street.” He was born in Wayne County, New York, in 1879, married Elizabeth M. Spillard in California in 1902, and died in Los Angeles county in 1968. Clarence was the son of Heinrich/Henry Veiock/Feiock who came to the U.S. from Leiterswieller, Betschdorf, Bas-Rhin.
