Notes |
Gaston Rognier, was a well know artisan who had a garden ornament business on the corner of Barneson & El Camino (San Mateo) that was established around 1909. His son, Andre Rognier, assumed ownership of the business sometime in the 1950s after Gaston had a stroke and continued the business until retiring sometime in the mid 1970s.
