Henry Fell Parsons (1822-1904), born in England, came to Santa Cruz in 1850, and first Santa Cruz County clerk/auditor/recorder Peter Tracy appointed Parsons as his deputy. In later years, Parsons served in various other county government positions.

  • According to Harrison, Parsons was a brother-in-law of Charles Bern, Werner Finkeldey, and Ernest Kunitz. Parsons was later in the soap and glue manufacturing business, in partnership with his son-in-law Robert Hamilton under the name Parsons & Hamilton (per Guinn). It seems reasonable to assume that Parsons & Hamilton took over the established business from brother-in-law Kunitz (d.1897) sometime in the 1890s.
  • Riptide (CE39)
