Humbles relocated from Helm to Marion County, KY

Robert Cumming writes:
Ovalene Humble's parents, Louis and Thenora Humble, once owned property taken by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers where Wolf Creek Dam is located. After the government took their river bottom property by eminent domain, the Humbles relocated to a farm in Marion County where Lebanon High School is now located. When rural electric came online in the forties Thenora Humble refused to sign their new farm up, believing the electricity came from Wolf Creek Dam!

My property on Greasy Creek was offered for sale by the Corps of Engineers in 1961 ten years after they took it by eminent domain in 1951 from Thenora Humble. - Robert Cumming
