Author: Luther A. Ingersoll, Editor (1893)

HIRAM ROTH, deceased, was well known in his day, as a miner and a cook in mining
camps, later as a prosperous business man in Monterey, where he owned and
operated a meat market on Alvarado street. In early life he engaged in a
seafaring life, and the date of his coming to California is not known for a
certainty, but it is thought it was in the early '50s. He was an active and
reliable business man. Mr. Roth was a native of Germany, and combined the native
smartness of the people of that country with the business tact of his adopted land.

  Mr. John Roth, his brother, was a native of Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, and died
at Castroville, December 12, 1879, leaving a widow, Mrs. Mary Roth, a native of
county Tipperary, Ireland. Mrs. Roth is an astute business woman, and manages
the comfortable estate left her by her husband in a very capable manner. She is
the owner of a very pretty home, and enjoys the respect and esteem of all who
know her.
