This photo shows Ephraim and Matilda Hatch vacationing with family at the Henry Cowell Redwoods near Felton, Calif. Hatch Road is named for Mr. Hatch, who farmed in Ceres before leaving the area.
Every day thousands of motorists travel on Hatch Road from Carpenter Road in Modesto, through Ceres and all the way to Geer Road in the Hughson area. But few know the man, or family, for whom the road is named.
