Rountree, for years under-sheriff of Santa Cruz county and one of the best known and most popular citizens of that county, is a native son of California, a member of one of the real pioneer families of this state, and has lived here all his life, connected with the sheriff's office in Santa Cruz since 1907. He was born in Santa Cruz, July 24, 1870, and is a son of Almus L. and Elizabeth (Hildredth) Rountree, the latter of whom was twice married and by her first husband, Ezekiel Rubottom, was the mother of two children, one of whom died in infancy. The other, Emphrey J. Rubottom, became a well known figure in the development of Santa Cruz county. Mrs. Rountree had come to California in 1852, crossing the piains from Missouri with her father, Jesse Hildredth, the family settling in the vicinity of the San Gabriel Mission in Los Angeles county, where she was married to Ezekiel Rubottom. After his death she became the wife of Almus L. Rountree and by this - latter union was the mother of nine children, six of whom survive. Almus L. Rountree, born in Memphis, Tennessee, October 28, 1828, and moving to Springfield, Missouri when four years of age, came into California by the northern route, in 1852, and presently became engaged in wheat farming in the Sacramento > valley. When the Civil war broke out he was given charge of the wagon trains of the Banning Transportation Company, hauling supplies for the government to Yuma, and late in that same year, 1861, he opened in Santa Cruz the first butcher shop and retail meat market established there, where he made his home and where he spent the greater part of the remainder of his life. In 1868 he was elected sheriff of Santa Cruz county and served a term of two years in that important public office. He then was for a number of years engaged in farming and afterward in the hotel business, operating hotels in Felton and Davenport, and thus ex.ended his acquaint- ance throughout this region. Almus L. Rountree died in 1900, and his widow sur- vived him for six years. Richard H. was the sixth in order of birth of these nine children. Richard H. Rountree completed his education in the schools of the village of Felton, Santa Cruz county, his father at 'that time being in the hotel business there, and his first real "job" was as a driver in hauling wood to the lime-kilns.
