Photograph of Jack Fountain and Dr. Dorothea Bower (Mr and Mrs Fountain). This is supposedly their wedding photo. Photo taken at Artona Studio, Hastings & Homer Sts. Vancouver, B.C.
Wedding photo of Mr. and Mrs. Fountain from 1910. Dorothea, born in 1872, came to Kitamaat for mission work. She was a doctor, having received a degree at Trinity Medical Collage in Toronto in 1904, and as a woman, this was an unusual profession for the time. She was well liked by the people in Kitamaat, and became close with the Anderson family, often visiting their ranch as a respite from her duties. It was there she met Jack Fountain, a surveyor of lumber prospects. He arrived one night exhausted and ill, with his arm in an advanced state of devil’s club poisoning. Dr. Bower was called in to treat him, and managed to save not only his life, but his arm as well. It was from this incident that the two fell in love, and Jack asked Dorothea to marry him for saving his life. The engagement was not taken positively by those who knew them though. Jack was a kind and humorous man, but 10 years older and not religious; not considered a suitable fit for Dorothea. But despite opposition and risk for her reputation, the two were married in 1910 in Ontario, and later moved to Vancouver where this photo was taken.
