Haystack Mountain Ranch Home of William and Mary [Bader] Arbuthnot and their six children who were born here. Photo was taken circa 1900-1907. |
Today the old barn still stands out at the Haystack Mountain Golf Course. It is the only remnants of the old ranch. When the current owner saw this property the first time back in the 1960's when they purchased the property, they said the buildings looked just like this. They were able to identify several of the out buildings and other points of interest in this photo. The Left Hand Creek runs across this land, most likely where the trees are growing.
Here is a photo of the plank home that William built for Mary and where their six children were born. This home is to the far right in the photo above.
I have always loved the photo of the house in the snow. It must of been taken by some one who also loved the sight of a warm home in the snowy part of winte

Dana, I had never seen this photo before until I went to California and met the Great-grandaughter of George Arbuthnot (Una's Uncle). She had this framed in her home. I learned so much from her and I am forever grateful for all that she shared.
