“The Star” Owners, George and Charlotte (Raider) Allen, 585 Patterson Road, Versailles, KY Fire Gate 6. N 037° 54.532-W 084° 45.834. Charlotte grew up on this farm from age 5 until marriage. Fred and Nellie Raider bought the farm in 1947. The house and barn were built during that time. The barn was reconditioned in 1996 and stands on the original pillow blocks. “The Star quilt was my mother’s favorite quilt. Out of all the quilts she had, she used the star quilt as a bed cover until the time came when she could no longer care for herself. Mom stripped a lot of tobacco and cared for live stock in this barn; she was a house wife and raised 4 girls and 2 boys in her “spare” time. She passed on December 5, 1995.” With improvements, the home still stands and is now used as rental property. George and Charlotte bought the farm in 1996 and built their new home in 2000. Charlotte retired from the Ampex Corporation and George retired from Auburn University. They moved back to Woodford County to enjoy their retirement on this beautiful farm.
