Hubert Francois Delinte was born in 1888 in Belgium. There he was in the army, and was a butcher. He moved to England where he learned the trade of coal mining. He moved to Canada in 1911, where he started working in the mines in the Crowsnest Pass. He then married Isabelle Duquenne (DEE-Cane) in 1912, and they built a small house in Bellevue on the Dairy Road. Hubert continued to work in the mines, he would walk 25 miles to work leaving his horse at home for fear of the possibility of it not being where he left it when he finished his shifts. In 1930 they moved to their place on Olin Creek, and that was the start of the Delinte family ranch. They hauled fire-killed logs by team and wagon from Damon Creek to build a living room onto the existing log home.

Isabelle was barely 5 ft tall, and kept the ranch running and raised their children, all while Hubert was away at work. They kept a draft team for farming, milked cows and sold cream, ran cattle for beef. They faced many years of hardships as immigrated pioneers; on dry years they trailed cattle down to the river. Days were spent carving a living out of the land. Hubert and Isabelle had two daughters (Mariette and Henriette) and one son (Hubert). The children attended school at the Olin Creek School House, where they learned to speak English in Grade 1. This is where Hubert met Virginia. When Hubert was 17 his father passed away. He then took on more responsibility of the Ranch with his Mother. He learned to play instruments at 6 years old, later he used this skill at the local dance hall for extra income, and became a very talented musician. 

Hubert (2nd), married Virgina Wiser Aikens, in 1958 and they bought the Heath Creek land in the early 60s to add to the ranch he inherited from his parents. They had 6 children, Deborah, Carolyn, Keith, Brian, Sharon, and Greg. Hubert continued to work off the ranch at the sawmill and for the forestry and Virginia worked part time as a Nursing Aid and then drove the school bus to make ends meet. They raised their family on the homestead, tended a large garden, made preserves that lasted through the winter, ate wild game, and raised chickens, pigs, milked dairy cows for cream and had beef cattle on the ranch. The kids were raised on horseback with pancake sandwiches for lunch, always up for adventures in the brush.They ended up being good help, with deep roots in agriculture. 

In 1990 Hubert was diagnosed with cancer, and at age 56 he passed away. In 1991 Brian bought the Heath Creek place, then Greg the Olin Creek place. They continued to operate together, later including their sister, Sharon. 

The grandchildren and great grandchildren of Hubert Delinte are still involved in Agriculture to this day, both in Saskatchewan and Alberta. The Delinte Ranch continues to operate in the Porcupine Hills and the family has been involved in the Pincher Creek Ranch Rodeo for many years.
