Farmers Bank stories bring memory of another great horse ride

Rollin Farris made 9.5 mile trip from Cane Valley to Columbia, KY at age 4
Written in response to reading: Remembers riding to Cane Valley on horseback for groceries

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Ed, Jim's articles about the Cane Valley bank were most interesting! I noted the article about Ms Clara Smith Rodgers riding to Cane Valley on horseback to shop. This brought to mind a piece written by Lorena F. Jackson (a Farris family historian) that describes a horseback ride by Lavelle Farris Shepherd's father, Rollin Farris at four years of age.

Thanks,

s/Morris Shepherd

As always, thanks, Mr. Shepherd, for the reminder of this delightful story by the late Lorena Farris Jackson, (1918-2004). We hope you'll share more of them with our readers. She left a great treasure of stories. A search on "Lorena Farris" on CM yields a number of her wonderful stories, most of them centered around early days in Cane Valley.
