Silas Artie Mountain was born June 18, 1889, in Cumberland, Iowa, one of eight children born to Levi and Abigail Mountain.
He grew to manhood on his father's farm near Cumberland, continuing residence there after his marriage to Daphne D. Harrison, which took place April 15, 1914. To this union four children were born, all of whom survive their father.
The Mountain family moved to a ranch northwest of Yuma in February of 1921. That ranch is now operated by his son, Kenneth. Mr. Mountain retired from framing and moved to Yuma in 1945. After moving to town he spent much time in his own hobby shop producing numerous items which he gave to his family and friends, who now hold them as a legacy of his love and friendship.
Silas Artie Mountain passed away in his home in Yuma on November 19, 1954. He was a member of the Christian Church in Cumberland, Iowa.
