OBITUARY


Friends mourn death of Joughin, pioneer rancher


By KATHE MALOUF Kem Valley Sun


The Kern Valley has lost an- other pioneer.


Bill Joughin, whose name has been synonymous with ranching and developments in the Kern Valley for the past 20 years, died last week. He was 62.


Joughin touched the lives of many Kern Valley residents. Business acquaintances and friends were shocked and sad- dened by the news of his death.


Joughin was responsible for much of the growth of South Lake. But his projects also included Robinson Cove, Cortez Canyon, Cyrus Canyon, Longview and both the residential and


mobilehome tracts in South Lake. He was planning a third residen- tial subdivision in South Lake at the time of his death.


Because of his continued support of projects that helped the Kern Valley to grow, Joughin was often called on for donations of time, financial support or land. Most recently, Joughin donated two three-acre parcels of land in South Lake, one to the Kern Valley Hospital Foundation and the other to the Kern Valley Historical Society. Both are being used as fundraisers for those or- ganizations.


That generosity that will be missed, said Dave Freeland, president of the Hospital Foun- dation.


"Bill had a big heart. He made generous contributions of his time, financial resources and support. He was a strong supporter of the Foundation. We at the Foundation are saddened by his death and my heart goes out to his family," said Freeland.


While Joughin may be best remembered for his developments in the South Lake area, his love for the land and ranching re- mained a major factor in his life. He was con- cerned about protecting the land, while still retaining his Joughin family's heri- tage pertaining to cattle grazing rights.


That combination was an im- portant one, said Jim Crates, former Forest Supervisor of the Sequoia National Forest. "Bill was a beautiful mountain man. I'll never go into Big Meadow or Cannell Meadow and not think of Bill." Joughin was one of several who worked with the Forest Ser- vice put together a 2,400 acre purchase of land on the Kern Pla- teau in 1988. Joughin supported the purchase, saying it would preserve the beauty of the land for future generations.

Joughin: Friends, community mourn loss


Continued from page Al


Officer with the Sequoia National Forest who has worked with the Joughin family for more than 20 years, said Joughin's death would create "a great void in cattle and range management. And I don't know how we will make up.for that void. Bill cared about the land and always wanted to do what was best."


Joughin had been labeled dy- namic and influential by friends. "You couldn't help but be in- fluenced by Bill," said Jackie Anderson, who said Joughin was the third person she met in the Kern Valley 20 years ago. "His first, last and foremost thoughts were always the Kern River Valley. He was one of the last movers and shakers and I don't think we will see his ilk again. He was a true environmentalist and loved the land. "


Tom Mckinney said Joughin was always ready to respond to a need. "If you needed anything, Bill was the first to make sure your needs were met. Whether it was to install a cattle guard to


keep cattle out of the camp- grounds or give a dinner at his ranch to honor some project or person, it was taken care of. And most of the time, the receiver never knew where the gift came from, as Bill was always in the background. He was never the one to jump out and take credit for anything. In Bill's eyes, nothing was impossible. He had the can-do attitude and the im- possible just took a little longer."


William Daniel Joughin was born in Bakersfield on March 2, 1929, but was raised in the Kern Valley. He attended South Fork elementary school, where one of his teachers was Grace Kissack. He attended high school at both a military school and Kern County High School in Bakersfield.


The Joughin Ranch was founded in 1870 by Arthur Cannell, who emigrated from the Isle of Man to the Kern Valley. In 1906 William D. Joughin, Sr., who was also from the Isle of Man and a brother-in- law to Cannell, took over the ranch with his wife Ethel. The ranch was expanded to include the Crane,


Perry, Sydney, Robinson, Cook and Paherson ranches and home- steads.


In 1950, Bill Joughin, Jr. and his wife Roberta took over the ranch and continued the tradi- tion. The ranch was again ex- panded to include the Diltz, Pallett and Alexander Cortez Ranches and the A. Brown Co. Today the ranch includes more than 10,000 acres in Kern and Tulare coun- ties. It also includes more than 200 square miles of grazing per- mits with both the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service. Joughin maintained more than 1,000 head of cattle in addi- tion to a diversified business or- ganization including the devel- opment of South Lake and com- mercial, residential and mobilehome subdivisions.


He is survived by his wife, Roberta, daughters Cathie Joughin Halle of Granite Station, Sylvia Hafenfeld of Weldon and Renee Joughin of Bakersfield and three grandchildren, Jessica and Eric Hafenfeld and Christoffer Joughin of Granite Station.
