Dick is the brother of Shirlie McKENZIE and Uncle Dick to Bobi Lynn METCALF of Red Bluff, Gail POOL of Oregon, Bert McKENZIE of Gerber, Hazel BROWN of Red Bluff and Scottie ULCH of Corning. Dick and Shirley grew up in the Dairyville area and after World War II he drove a livestock truck for a couple of years before working as logging foreman at COLLINS Pine in Chester for 40 years. Shirlie and Abner were married in early 1930s and worked on the STOVER-McKENZIE Ranch since he had lived there after his father Bert died when Abner was 12. Hazel remembers her mother telling about one cattle drive when an impatient driver kept bumping a bull in the drag that was in the road. She was so pleased when the bull finally turned around and took off the car's bumper. Dick BOONE worked for STOVER-McKENZIE and helped trail the cattle to the mountains. There were so many cattle that the ranch made several drives each spring and fall with five or six cowboys. The names of Jack GRAVIER, Ralph FREDERICKS and Cliff HAYNES came to Dick's memory. Charles STOVER rode with the first herd of cows and calves and stayed at Chester to receive the rest of the cattle, while the cattle grazed on the meadows. There were two herds of cows and calves, followed by the large dry bunch of cattle. The extra horses had been driven with the cattle, and then another drive was the mares and colts. JACKSON was the cook and he used a team of horses to pull the wagon. This was later replaced with a Dodge screenside truck. Dick remembers eating lots of steak, biscuits and gravy, plus eggs in the morning and beans at night. The lumber flume at FINLEY Lake was still standing in parts on the first trip or two that Dick made. It was a six-day drive with the cattle and they started from the Antelope corrals up on the Hogsback. The first night usually had a stampede because it was a dry camp at Halfway station between Red Bluff and Lyonsville. There were rattlesnakes and coyotes to upset the cows since water at Finley Lake was the next day. Dick remembers eating supper and watching a ground squirrel in a trance as a rattlesnake inched closer until Abner threw a rock at the snake. Next stop of Lyman Springs, Mineral, the STUMP Ranch land on to Chester. They drove the cattle at a steady pace and let them graze at the noon stop. Dick and Betty loaned me a clipping from The Lassen County Times, Oct. 10, 19??, the last part was missing from the clipping, "STOVER Family: 100 years of Chester history." Thaddeus and Reuben STOVER, with their father Jacob, traveled overland on horses and mules to California in the spring of 1850. The first year was spent between Sacramento and Bidwell Bar mining, then farming near Marysville in 1851-52. Jacob became ill and, upon his recovery, left his still young sons in California and returned to his family in Iowa. The boys dabbled in mining and ranching, anything they could earn a living, until they entered the livestock business. Seeking a summer grazing area as the valley dried below dried up in the hot summer weather, the pair arrived in Big Meadows, later homesteading in the early 1860s. Charles STOVER, the son of Reuben, recalled in an interview with members of the Plumas County Historical Society a year before his death in 1961, "My father, his brother and a man named Pete OLSEN, the three of them came in about 1860 with a pack horse seeking a nountain range to run their cattle." OLSEN established his ranch east of the river, while the STOVER brothers homesteaded on the west side. Ruben married Mary Ann ROSE in 1862 and, upon Thaddeus's marriage to Ada Milroy COOPER, the brothers divided their holdings with Thaddeus rebuilding to the east. Children were born, Marry Ann had four between 1863 and 1868 only to have five more 11 years later between 1879 and 1888. Charles, born in 1879, recalled life in the Chester area as a boy, although Chester itself did not yet exist. "At that time, there were just the five ranches on the upper end of the valley, Thad STOVER, Bert JOHNSON, Oscar MARTIN, our ranch and OLSEN's." Ruben continued to live and run his dairy ranch on the north end of the valley until his death in October of 1897. The 700 acre ranch and the 50 to 70 cows were willed to his wfe, but were managed by Charles, until the number two son bought it from his mother in 1903. Thaddus lived to the age of 84, still in Chester at his death in 1920.
