Lexington Progress
November 25, 1992

By 1920, families making their living from farming were producing less each year. These pictures show three of the families that sold their farms to the government.

Note: These photographs were published as a side bar to Before Natchez Trace Park: Old Survey Community and Precinct School, by Brenda Kirk Fiddler. The photographs are now lost.
