Photo 92-HAT-6

Comments

My neighbors farm. The Jack (John) Ruth farm. 15147 Coolville Ridge Rd. Athens County Rd 75, Athens, Ohio. "Ruths Christmas Trees". I believe that he and his wife, Carol (Hawk) had moved there in 1959? It ran it as a dairy farm for many years, I'm not sure when he quit milking cows and then just had beef cattle. He just turned 90 last week and still lives there. Another neighbor still farms it and cows and horses still roam the fields. Looks practically the same. I could be mistaken, but I believe that he once told me that the house is a log cabin that once was a school house that sat across the road on top of the hill and was moved to its current location. Anyone correct me if I am wrong. There was at least 3 other houses that sat on the acreage of this property at one time.
