	A few years later, Barson made another major contribution to the city’s current configuration. He deeded to the city two rights-of-way through his land. One, running along the north boundary of his land, became today's Barson Street. The other (now Campbell-Riverside Street) extended from Barson Street to the riverbank. This new street became the approach to the next bridge to be built over the San Lorenzo (known as the [[Cut bias bridge\|“cut bias” bridge]]), later replaced by today’s [[San Lorenzo River bridges\|Riverside Avenue Bridge]].

			No Find-a-Grave info for Alfred and Mary Ellen, but all buried at Santa Cruz Memorial are Alfred's father Thomas ([https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/263321677/thomas-barson 1816-1885]); and children Mary ([https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/245091221/mary-barson 1871-1964]) and William ([https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/245091381/william-barson 1870-1943]); so it's reasonable to assume that Alfred and Mary Ellen are also buried there in a family plot.

	'''Alfred (Fred) and Mary Ellen Barson''' bought thirty acres along the river, south of Soquel Avenue, in 1870. After the bridge opened, Barson built the [[Riverside Hotel]] with his wife Mary Ellen in 1877. Children and descendents ran it successfully until 1945. With its extensive gardens, river access and home-grown meat and produce for its restaurant, the Riverside was a unique and attractive tourist resort.
