Pioneers from all over the Kern River Valley, maybe as many as 1,000 people, are buried in the pioneer cemetery at Old Kernville. The first known burials in that cemetery were in about 1870. Old Kernville had been founded in 1860, as the rowdy gold mining town of Whiskey Flat.

In 1864, the women of the new town renamed it Kernville. The cemetery was about half a mile north-northwest up the hill, above town. Both the historic and the current cemetery are maintained by the Kern River Valley Cemetery District, which was established by the Kern County Board of Supervisors in 1950. At the front gate of the historic cemetery, you’ll find the monument that, in 1937, designated Old Kernville as California Historic Landmark No. 13. In 1953, the monument was saved from the lake and moved uphill to the historic cemetery.

The Joseph Caldwell (1806, Kentucky-1871) family monument is one of the oldest, still standing in Old Kernville’s cemetery. Caldwell was a founding father of both Old Kernville and Kern County. He and Judge Joseph Warren Sumner were partners in the Big Blue Mine & Mill outside Old Kernville, and Caldwell built the first house in the area. In 1866, Caldwell was on the committee that drafted resolutions to separate Kern County from Los Angeles County, and establish Havilah as the seat of Kern County. Caldwell Creek, between New Kernville and the Hi Ho Lodge on Sierra Way, is named for this Old Kernville pioneer.

One of the earliest pioneers on the east side of the KRV, William Henry Scodie, (1825, Germany-1898) is also buried in Old Kernville's cemetery. Scodie built the historic Onyx Store, which still stands in 2023 on Highway 178, between South Fork School and Onyx. In 1856, Scodie had come to Keyesville, where he ran a small hotel. He bought a ranch on the South Fork in 1861. In the Adobe Ranch building, he established a stage stop, hotel, store, bank and blacksmith shop. His only neighbors were J.V. Roberts and his native wife Ellen at the Bloomfield Ranch to the west. Maybe because of the remoteness, Scodie was plagued with robberies. Infamous outlaws, the Tiburcio Vasquez gang, are said to have stolen $800, a string of horses and a change of clothes.

In the early 1870s, Scodie married a young Tübatulabal woman named White Blanket (1850-1879?). When a name was needed for a new post office at Scodie Station, their only daughter Sophia (1873-1893) chose to name the new town Onyx. The Scodie Mountains, east of Onyx, are named for William H. The beautiful White Blanket, Tübatulabal land on the South Fork of the Kern River, is named for the first Mrs. Scodie. In 1992, at Bob Power's recommendation, a simple plaque to mark White Blanket's grave was placed by the Scodie family in their plot at KV's historic cemetery.

Although the Kern Valley escaped the worst of Hurricane Hilary's fury this weekend, there were some evacuation warnings issued for parts of Wofford Heights.

According to Facebook messages from the Kern County Fire Department, the Calgary Tract in Wofford Heights Area (Zone KRN 722-B) was issued an evacuation warning via the ReadyKern system on Monday before being downgraded to an advisory.

"Residences that are north and south of Bruton Way, including homes on Cane Peak Court and Homestead Court, East to Split Mountain Way, and homes on Anchorage Way East to Earl Pascoe Road" were affected, according to the KCFD.

As of Tuesday morning, the new Genasys warning system for earthquakes, wildfires and floods was reporting no active public safety issues ongoing in Lake Isabella, Wofford Heights or Kernville – although the system did caution Wofford Heights residents to watch for unstable soil in the aftermath of the weekend's heavy rains.

CalTrans District 6 reported on its Facebook feed that neither Highway 178 nor the Kern Canyon saw any weekend rain closures.

A Flood Watch that had been issued Friday has expired, although the National Weather Service precipitation map indicated that between 3 and 4 inches of rain had fallen across the region.

"The Be Aware Advisory for Kern County Mountain Communities has been lifted. There are no further advisories in place at this time. The storm [has] passed, please continue to be alert of possible soil instabilities," KCFD stated. That included Lake Isabella.

The monsoon caused a temporary rise in river levels. Measured Monday morning at 4 a.m., the Kern River spiked at 10.51 feet when levels hovered between 4-5 feet before the storm. Fortunately, flooding was not expected, as the levels had dropped to 7.5 feet at 3:15 a.m. as of Tuesday.

The South Fork of the Kern River near Onyx peaked at 7.56 feet at 4 a.m. Monday before falling to 6.47 feet by 3:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

The National Weather Service out of Hanford was predicting mild conditions in the Kern Valley for the rest of the week, with highs around 80 and lows in the mid-60s.

The Kern County Fire Department was prepared Friday for the potential storm by coordinating distribution of sandbags. These locations were Lake Isabella behind the Veterans Center at Kneale Ave and Lake Isabella Blvd. and in Wofford Heights south of East Evans Road east of Lakeview Drive.

Nothing like a day trip with a dear sweet friend who is always up for the challenge. Patty and I have been friends for more years than I count.

After I recently read an article in the “Daily Mail” in the UK about the foundation of a ghost town being revealed, sadly due to the drought, I was set on a visit.

My mother's father, Alan James, was a western movie writer and director from 1920 to 1950. He worked with Hoot Gibson, Tom Mix and rather exclusively with Ken Maynard. He made over 70 films in his career for Republic, Monogram and RKO studios.

The location used most frequently was a place called Kernville, whose first and most colorful name was Whiskey Flat. This was the site of pioneers, cowboys and a massacre of 35 Indians – not the most stellar (and certainly a very dark) association. The Old West held its stories of shameful events.

The original Kernville location later had a "movie street" where Hollywood found a natural setting to recreate the Wild West. Though it was over a two-hour drive to get there, it was certainly a quicker journey than my grandparents and mom went on.

My mom told me wonderful stories of her time at Kernville. How my granddad would have the cowboys ride down a hill at a good speed (safety for the horses, he loved them), and whoever made it down the hill got the job. He only wanted true cowboys working in his movies. It was truly a different time.

In 1953, the beautiful Kern River flowed into Isabella Lake. A manmade oasis, the cost was flooding the original town of Kernville. People who lived there could either have their homes moved by the government to higher ground where Kernville now stands or be paid for their homes.

The old western town was flooded and submerged under water. The buildings of the Old West found a watery grave border by the beauty of the Sequoia National Park.

My mom wanted to show me the beauty and history of her past. But the town of her past could no longer be seen. When I heard that some foundations were exposed due to the low water levels, I had to follow that path and visit my family history, which had been captured only in stories.

It's an indescribable feeling to stand where history was written but also to feel a connection to a man I sadly never met. It came with the terrible reality of the drought, the water levels being critically low. The lake was in a battle of the past. Mother nature and man will constantly fight this battle, fighting hard like it was in the Wild West.
