The June 2nd Mystery Farm has been correctly identified as that of H.K. Tilley, of Route Four, Cullman.
This 102 acre farm was previously owned by Mr. Tilley’s father, L.A. “Bud” Tilley. However, the present owner has been on the farm for the last 30 years. He has 75 acres in cultivation, on which he raises cotton, plants of various kinds, cattle, hogs and Shetland ponies. He does most of his farming by tractor, but some by mules.
Before her marriage on April 19th, 1924, Mrs. Tilley was Maudie Gilland. They have four daughters: Mrs. Charles Dunn, of Route One, Vinemont, Mrs. James Logan, of Birmingham, Mrs. Jack Nix, of Route Six, Cullman and Mrs. Ben Hoenig, of Columbus, Georgia and one son, Dwight Tilley, of Route Four, Cullman.
The Tilleys are Baptist. He is a director of the Farmer’s Marketing and Exchange Association and she is a member of the Grandview Home Demonstration Club.
Fishing, boxing and all sports are listed by Mr. Tilley as his hobbies, while Mrs. Tilley says that traveling is her hobby. Last summer the Tilleys enjoyed a long motor trip through 16 states and into Canada.
