HENRY L. LOUD
 
                    This history presents the record of no other citizen more 
thoroughly  infused with the spirit of public progress than the subject of this 
review. Henry L. Loud  has  been identified with real estate interests of 
Imperial County, and has maintained offices in which he does a general real 
estate, insurance and investment business at 136 N. Fifth Street. He was born in 
Pomona, California, April 11, 1892, a son of Charles L. and Margaret (Eccles) 
Loud, both residing in Pomona. Henry L. acquired his education in the public and 
high schools of Pomona, after which he entered Stanford University, where he 
graduated with the class of 1913, receiving the degree of A. B. He immediately, 
after finishing his education, embarked in the real estate business without 
previous experience. Mr. Loud was encouraged when he engaged in this business 
and it shows what may be accomplished when determination and energy lead the 
way. He has large realty holdings of his own, and he leases 1200 acres across 
the line in Mexico. He raises cotton, corn, and alfalfa and now is numbered 
among the substantial farmers in this locality. Politically, he is a Republican. 
He was married in Los Angeles June 28, 1916, to Miss Marguerite Knox, a daughter 
of Mrs. Regina Knox, of Los Angeles. To Mr. and Mrs. Loud has been born one 
daughter, Margaret. They have a wide circle of friends and are held in high 
esteem by all who know them socially and in a business way.
