The wife of the first Presbyterian minister to live in our house was the daughter of a minister, who wrote his autobiography.

In the 1870s they came to California and befriended John Brown’s widow—even getting original letters!

Rosamond (Johnston) Walker lived here 19 years.
Photograph of pages from N. R. Johnston’s Looking Back from the Sunset Land autobiography. CHAPTER XLVIII. LIGHTS AND SHADOwS. Soon after we went to California we formed the acquaintance of old John Brown's family now consisting of his widow and two daughters, one married. They had lives m Humboldt County where his son Solomon was a sheep nicher. Now they resided in Santa Clara County and had rantie home near the top of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Mrs. Brown was a plain woman, not highly educated, but she was good and noble, and she believed in the old martyr. In these and subsequent interviews Mrs. Brown gave me much information that is not found in any of his biographies. Among other mementoes she gave me some of his manuscript letters. They are gems. Her daughter Sarah, as noble a young woman as ever mourned a martyr father, helped to maintain the family and pay off the debts by giving music lessons to scholars down in the village of Saratoga at the foot of the mountain. Afterwards she became an artist and is now making her living in an artist's studio in San Jose. The youngest daughter, Mrs. Fablinger, a beautiful woman, is the mother of a family of lovely chil-dren. Mr. Fablinger was then a teacher; now he owns a little fruit ranch near Saratoga. They all are Congregationalists and model Christians. Grace is not inherited, but (484) LIGHTS AND SHADOWS. 485 his children seem to have inherited John Brown's virtues. Mrs. Brown honored us by paying us several visits in Oak-land. Her grave is in the Congregational church-yard at Saratoga. Since her mother's death Sarah has often been our guest.

On a whim I went with a friend to see ‘Sasquatch Sunset’ and we both liked it. It was surprisingly emotionally resonant while also being incredibly goofy. Worth the ticket price for the beautifully filmed Humboldt forest scenery alone 📽️
