Ken was born and raised in Roseville, CA. He graduated from Roseville High School. Served in WWII. Married his High School sweetheart, Jean Rae Curran, on 15 June 1947. Ken and Jean had turkey ranch off South Cirby and Old Auburn Blvd. in Roseville. They had two sons, Warren and Darwin. As Roseville grew, they sold their land and moved to Lincoln, CA, in the late '60's. Their boys would commute to Roseville to finish High School at Oakmont High School. Their Roseville land gave way to a huge housing development. The county even named one of the streets "OLD HART RANCH ROAD".
Ken was active in local politics for the farming community. He suffered a heart attack and had to slow down. The doctor told him to take up a calming hobby, so Jean taught him how to crochet. He even won a ribbon at the County fair. He provided my dad with turkey manure, which enabled him to have the most fertile soil and a huge vegetable garden. Even after Ken retired he still had some turkeys and cows. He and Jean celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 1997. They had 5 granddaughters: Jessica, Lacy, Nicolette, Jennifer and Kaylyn and many great grandsons and great granddaughters.
