Jobe & Elizabeth LeMarr (1890's)

Working the land along with other jobs is the history of the LeMarr family.

Just like most small family farms we've had to take on other occupations to make ends meet.  Other full time employment does not relieve us from taking care of the farm though.  Nature takes no time off and we still have to do all the usual farm chores.  Crop fields must be worked or we'll lose them to the weeds and trees, roads must be graded and rocked or the rain will wash them into gorges big enough to lose a tractor, and equipment must be maintained to do any of the above.

Flying ultralights is another favorite thing we do.

Owning farmland affords us the opportunity to have an airstrip where we teach and fly ultralight aircraft.  Ultralight aircraft are the most fun of all the recreational sports we enjoy when we have time from our other jobs and farm.  We love to fly over the countryside and see things from a perspective that only comes from an open cockpit and slow speed.

Bluegrass Music goes hand in hand with the country life.

Farming and rural living has taught us to appreciate very simple things in life and Bluegrass music is from very simple stringed instruments like the guitar, bass, violin, mandolin, banjo and dobro.  How much simpler can you get than a gut-bucket made from a plastic 5-gallon bucket, busted broom handle and a piece of nylon string?  Unfortunately full-time jobs, the farm and ultralight aviation doesn't leave any time left to play an instrument in a bluegrass band but we love to sit on the front porch swing and listen to recorded bluegrass on the radio or CD.
The Companion Bible

Love for God, our Father and Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior is what we have above everything else.

Stongs Exhaustive ConcordanceGod promised that if we love and obey Him that our childrens' children would prosper and our nation Israel would be as numerous as the sands of the sea and the stars in heaven.  11 generations of LeMarr's going all the way back to the French Huguenots tells me no less!  Being evangelical Christians we have a great desire to share our faith in God and Jesus with you but not if you don't want to know.  And even though you may know but don't agree that's OK, too.  Only you can have your relationship with God and Jesus.  Besides, if you read and study God's word, the Bible, and truly love the Lord then we have no doubt you're in good hands!
