CHARLES T. ROMIE is a leading citizen of Monterey. His father, John F. Romie, a
native of Berlin, Germany, was a merchant tailor by trade and occupation. He
came to California as early as 1841 and pursued his trade at Monterey until the
spring of 1848. He then spent the fall of that year and the spring of the
following year at Hangtown, where he contracted a sickness, from the effects of
which he died, in the fall of that year, aged about, fifty. The mother, a most
estimable woman lived to the ripe old age of seventy-six, and died in Monterey,
in 1888. Mr. Romie has a personal acquaintance with General Sutter, which fact
influenced him to emigrate from Germany to California. The children of this
family are as follows: Ernest, a resident of San Francisco, and manager of the
Espenosa estate; Paul T., the youngest son of the family, was born in Monterey
and is a resident of Salinas: Louise, an older member of the family died soon
after arrival in California; Mary C. is now Mrs. David Jacks, of Monterey, and
Charles T., the subject of this sketch.

  The subject of this sketch has been a continuous and influential citizen of
Monterey county from boyhood. He has engaged extensively in the stock-raising
business, and owns large tracts of land at and in the vicinity of Soledad,
amounting to about 10,000 acres. He is likewise engaged in grain raising on a
portion of his estate. As he is an astute business man he has been very
successful, and enjoys the esteem of a large circle of friends. The county
testified her appreciation of his services by electing him to the County Board
of Supervisors.
