FRANK and CHARLES ALLARD.—Representatives of an old pioneer family and native sons of Humboldt county, Frank and Charles Allard were born, respectively, in Kneeland Prairie December 28, 1877, and Eureka October 7, 1879, sons of Richard and Ellen (Goble) Allard. Dick Allard, as the father was familiarly called, was born in New Hampshire. Attracted by the discovery of gold he came around Cape Horn in a sailing vessel and landed in San Francisco in 1852. The first year was spent in mining in the Sierras, after which he came to the mines on Klamath River in Humboldt County in 1853. Afterward he followed logging on Elk river and also Ryan slough for a number of years, and during this time made a couple of trips back to his old home. However, he was married on Elk River in 1871, his wife having crossed the plains in the early '60s with her parents. Sub­sequently she made the trip back to Illinois, recrossing the plains with ox teams. She is still living, making her home with her two sons. The father gave his time and efforts to dairying until his death,, which occurred January 14, 1898. They had six children, as follows: Laura E., Mrs. Squires, of Freshwater ; Clara M., Mrs. Ferguson, residing in Denver, Colo.; Frank and Charles, the two partners of whom we write ; Annie M. and Hazel, both living at home.

The Allard brothers were reared on the ranch at Freshwater, receiving their education in the public schools and learning farming and dairying. After their father's death they continued with their mother until she sold the ranch, after which they purchased a part of the Spear place further up the stream and there made their home.

For some years Frank Allard worked at teaming and also drove stage to Eureka until he discontinued to give his attention to raising vegetables and fruit in partnership with his brother Charles. They operate twenty acres of bottom and bench land, making a specialty of raising berries and vegetables, and run a wagon to Eureka six days a week. In the raising of berries they grow principally strawberries, raspberries and loganberries.

Fraternally Frank Allard is a member of Fortuna Lodge No. 221, I. 0. 0. F., in Eureka, and also of Mount Zion Encampment of Odd Fellows, and both brothers are members of Eureka Aerie No. 130, F. 0. E. Politically they espouse the principles of the Republican party.
