 Rural Sylmar in the 1940s. Collection of Carmela DeRose.  (click on image to enlarge) Carmela states, "I believe the shot of the horses were in Sylmar, near Foothill and Yarnell, where the Juvenile

Hall is now, was taken in the late 40s. The land belonged to my Uncle Sam De Rose, and he sold it."
