Biographies
VINCENT LAWRENCE ROTH
San Bernardino County has a capable
auditor in Vincent Lawrence Roth, who has occupied the office for nearly ten
years. He was born in Sandusky, Ohio,
September 21, 1892, and is a son of Franklin Roth, also a native of that
state. For twenty years the father was
commercial agent at Sandusky for the New York Central lines. For a considerable period he has lived in
California and now resides in Ontario, San Bernardino County. He is a past master of the local lodge of
Masons and an elder in the Presbyterian Church.
In 1909 Vincent L. Roth came with
his parents to California, having previously attended the grammar and high
schools of Sandusky, Ohio. When his
education was completed he entered his father’s business, with which he was
identified until elected county auditor in January, 1923, and his continuation
in the office to the present time is an eloquent testimonial to his fidelity to
trust and the high quality of his work.
In 1918 Mr. Roth was married to Miss
Cecile E. Hively, of Kansas, and they have two
daughters, Evelyn Louise and Clarice Jean, both in school. At the time of the World War Mr. Roth
enlisted in the United States Army and was stationed at Camp Lewis, Washington. He belongs to the American Legion, and in
politics is a Republican, while his religious views are in harmony with the
tenets of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
For recreation he turns to outdoor sports and particularly enjoys
hunting and fishing trips. Honest and
efficient, he is a public official of high standing and his personal popularity
is attested by a wide circle of loyal friends, who are always sure of a warm
welcome at his hospitable home in Ontario.
