Sam was born December 29, 1935 in Hamilton County to a French immigrant, Adrien, and Elsie Rouvier of Withamsville. After high school, he joined the United States Army and, during 1959, was stationed at Ft. Sam Houston, in TX. Sam married Miss Sherry Marcum, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Marcum, of Amelia, on March 23, 1959 at the Amelia Methodist Church.
After he was honorably discharged, Sam joined the Clermont County Sheriff’s Department as a Deputy Sheriff.
During 1962, Deputy Rouvier and Williamsburg Police Chief Robert Vice worked with 65 boys, ages 9 to 16, creating a “Junior Police” program. The squad was organized to prevent vandalism year-round, but principally during the Halloween Season. The officers met with the boys regularly to teach them police methods and physical fitness.
By 1966, Deputy Rouvier was living at 10 Woodruff Lane, in Amelia, with his wife and two children.
