RUDOLPH DENNIS AMBROSINI, a leading dairyman of Capetown, was born at Prosito. near Lodrino, Canton Ticino, Switzerland, June 20, 1877. His father, Dennis Ambrosini, after spending many summers in Paris, France, working at his trade, settled on his farm on the Ticino River where he died in 1886. The mother was Celesta Biasca who still resides on the old home farm. Of their five children, four grew to maturity : Rudolph, of this review ; Max, who spent about twelve years in Humboldt county, but now resides in Ticino ; Guttard is in the employ of our subject ; James is a merchant in Ferndale.
Rudolph Ambrosini received a good education and from a lad learned dairying as it was done in the Alps region. Having heard good reports of wages and opportunities for young men in California, he concluded to try to better his condition and when seventeen left his home and kindred, arriving in Eureka, Humboldt county, Feb. 5, 1896. After working for a short time on a dairy on Cannibal Island, he worked for about six years on different ranches near Ferndale, when he became foreman on the Mayflower ranch, a position he held for two years. His ambition was to have a dairy of his own, and having saved some money, in 1903 he leased the Mountain View ranch of fourteen hundred acres and for eight years devoted his time to dairying, milking an average of eighty-five cows. On the expiration of his lease he obtained a lease of the Frank Peters ranch at Capetown. This is one of the most valuable dairy ranches on the coast, comprising four hundred fourteen acres on Bear river. He has a splendid dairy comprising Guernseys and Holsteins, sixty-five cows in all ; he also raises cattle. With the aid of a steam engine, he runs his separator and manufactures butter which is put up in squares for family trade and sold in Ferndale and Eureka, while the surplus is shipped to San Francisco. The marriage of Mr. Ambrosini occurred in Ferndale where he was united with Carrie Mead, a native of Kansas. Her father, Alfred Mead moved from Kansas to Oregon, afterwards coming to Humboldt County, now residing in Bridgeville. To them have been born five children: Ernest, Dennis, Irene, Alma and Roland. For the past four years Mr. Ambrosini has been a member of the board of school trustees for Capetown district and is clerk of the board. Politically he believes the principles of the Republican party are for the best interests of the whole country.
