Fairview Farms Argyle, Ky.
The house pictured on page 32 was built in "1919". From the
yard the panoramic view is magnificent. Looking due east Cedar-Knobb
at Bethelridge, southeast the tall timber reminds us this is Ware,
Ky. southward, a few homes on Oak Hill Ridge, then southwest, one of
the higher place in eastern Casey County, is Green River Knobb,
Mintonville, Ky. Moving due west is more level. At evening the
sunsets are spectacular. Moving northwest, Sandknobb at the
Crossroads comes into view. on Easter Sundays young and old alike
gather there for an egg hunt. Rocky Knobb is almost due north, now
known as Casey County Stone Company. Hatter Creek Hill was one of the
first places that used rocks from Rocky Knobb for rood work. It was
suggested by Raphael Ware of Argyle, timekeeper on W.P.A. work, to
make use of this limestone.

Harvesting tomatoes are, left to right: Deedy Luster, Lucy Conley,
Rosie Roy and Amy Mae Wesley.
