AMBROSE P. VALINE (Ambrosio Pereira Valim, also known as Charles P. Valine) was born June 6, 1855, in Pico, where his mother was a school teacher. He had a sister living in Chico, Minnie Venos, who had three children, Gilbert, Frank and Louis.

Upon coming to California, Ambrose married MARY JOSEPH, who was born in Sacramento on April 27, 1878, the daughter of Manual Joseph and Mariana Azevedo, who was the sister of John Azevedo, Msgr. Azevedos’ father. When they married, Ambrose was 40 and Mary was 16.

They settled in Rio Vista where in the early 1900s Ambrose was proprietor of the Cobweb Bar, just two blocks from their home. Two of their children, Ruth and Anne, were born there. The family later moved to Sacramento, where two more children, Mary and Ambrose, were born. There were two others named Ambrose, the first stillborn, the second dying at 16 months. Ruth, born in 1910, died in 1961. Daughter Mary, born in 1901, died in 1919.

Mary Joseph Valine had a sister, Rose Gertrude Joseph, was born July 20, 1898, and died at age 17. Mariana Joseph, probably another sister, is buried in the family plot and shown as born April 14, 1896 and died at age 42.

While living in Sacramento, Ambrose was involved in real estate and building, commuting to the Rio Vista area where he also had property and where he was active in the IDES lodge having been elected secretary of the lodge in 1908 and is believed to have also become president of the lodge. He was one of the first to change the spelling of the name Valim to Valine (they’re pronounced the same).

Ambrose Valine died February 20, 1922, at age 66. His wife died February 11, 1953, at age 74.

Son Ambrose Joseph Valine was born in 1903, attended Sacramento High School and Healds College, and was an instructor in radio at Healds, being a shortwave “ham” operator himself. Following army service in World War II, he went to work for McClellan Air Force Base, where he was chief of a radar unit. He died on October 30, 1983.

Daughter Anne Valine married Albert Fritzler and had a daughter, Patricia, who married Duane Clark. The Clarks had two boys, Steven and Michael. The latter married Kathy Peterson and they have a son, Kyle.
