At the close of the war he returned to Illinois where he farmed for one year, after which time he went to Glen Ellyn, that state, and engaged in the painting business. In 1876 he came to Nebraska and settled in York county where he bought eighty acres of land in Bradshaw township.
In 1868 Mr. Fountain was united in marriage to Miss Emily Rhoads, in Aurora, Illinois, of which state Mrs. Fountain is a native. They became the parents of six children: Charles F., now deceased; Norman W., deceased; Ina J., who became the wife of Myron Hurlburt, but is now deceased; Herbert, who is engaged in the painting business in South Dakota; Rolland, also engaged in the painting business at Trinidad, Colorado; and Cora, who is the wife of Harry Martin, of Lewiston, Montana, a farmer. The Fountain family were reared in the faith of the Congregational church and Mrs. Fountain still maintains an active interest in the organization.
