My guess is that Edgar Yañez was a long-time local resident and not a pro contractor, although both examples of his work are good.

The other side of this driveway is signed “Edgar” so I’ll take that as his given name.

I love this mark, which comes 10 years after the latest actual stamp the Jepsen Brothers used and 7 years after leaving a hand-drawn mark elsewhere. I have to think that the brothers were retired by this point, having started the business in 1911. Maybe they lived nearby.
