 BELOW; Taken in 1927, this photo shows ( double first cousins ) Raymond Farthing (born 1915, died 2004) and Ray Farthing (born 1915, died 1973) and Toonce Bently, at Grandpa and Grandma Farthing's farm, 5 miles from Valle Crucis.  Grandma Farthing is standing behind the boys shielding her eyes from the sun. This house was constructed by Grandpa Farthing in 1901.

The first 6 children were born before they moved here. Aunt Elsie was only a few weeks old when they moved into the new dwelling. Uncle Tom was born here in 1903 and uncle George in 1906.  RIGHT:  a close-up of Raymond Farthing. My sister, Frances, ( 1911- 2000) reports that she took this photo.
