Fourth Generation

My great grandfather Dr. Matthew Fountain purchase the Ranch in 1911 where he planted 1000 English Walnut Trees. Dr. Fountain was a practicing Dentist who resided in Arcata CA with his family. He also traveled to the Hoopa Reservation to service the Hupa people. My grandfather Everett Fountain would sometimes travel with his father to the boarding school in Hoopa where he may have caught the first glimpse of Delphine Johnson who would later become his wife, and my grandmother. Dr. Fountain pioneered the north side of the Trinity River in Salyer, by funding and building the first wooden suspended bridge. My grandfather used the ranch as a resource to raise sheep, and Pole Hereford Cattle, alongside Granma Del, their two sons and my mother. Later they used the ranch for a boys camp were many boys spent their teenage years. Grandpa & Granma made sure all 9 of their grandchildren knew how to ride a horse, chase cows, and they never took “I can’t” for an answer. My grandpa always told me the story of Erick’s grandparents, Chan & Ruth Ammon sparkin’ on the back porch during haying season. So the Ranch holds both my husbands and my PAST & FUTURE
