Ozro W. Childs
Hicks and Childs walked from San Pedro to the small Pueblo de Los Angeles, and established a tinsmithing and hardware store.He was paid in land in that area – all now within present day Downtown Los Angeles - from Sixth to Ninth, and Main to Figueroa Street.Their most significant and long-term success was the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Los Angeles, which included some of the town's most prominent citizens as additional investors.When Judge Robert Maclay Widney sought to create a university in Los Angeles in the 1870s, he received assistance from donors including Childs.[4][5] He died at his Los Angeles Main Street home in 1890, leaving six living children (out of ten) and a widow who survived him by over 40 years.
