GEORGE W. ROADHOUSE is a native of the Badger State, having been born at Mineral
Point, Wisconsin, April 18, 1847. His father, Joseph A. Roadhouse, was a
California pioneer of 1849, a station tavern keeper by occupation. He built the
Six Mile House on the old Sonoma pike, near Stockton, in San Joaquin county, in
1849, and conducted the same for three years. In 1852 he sold out and came to
Monterey county and located in Pajaro township, about six miles from
Watsonville, midway between that town and Castroville. Here he also carried on
farming and raised stock and continued to reside until his death occurred, in
1871. He was a native of Yorkshire, England, and married Charlotte E. Morris,
who was born in London, England. Mr. Roadhouse was a veterinary surgeon and
followed the same as a profession for several years during his earlier manhood.
His widow still survives him, aged seventy-three years, at Westonville. She has
two sons and three daughters, all living.

  The subject of this sketch was the eldest of the family and was educated at
the University of the Pacific, at which institution he graduated, December 18,
1863. He then read law on the farm, where he had spent his boyhood and youth.
Later he pursued his studies at Monterey and was admitted to practice in 1871.

  Upon the death of his father he retired to the farm, where he spent four
years. He was then elected Recorder of Monterey county, in 1877, and served two
years. He has held the office of Justice of the Peace for eight years.

  Mr. Roadhouse married, in Monterey, in 1868, Emma Rock, and five children are
the result of this marriage. Mr. Roadhouse is a prominent member of I. O. O. F.
and has held the honorable position of Grand Master of the State.
