Overview

History

The idea of FarmHouse was conceived in 1905 when three students at the University of Missouri College of Agriculture, D. Howard "Daddy" Doane, H. P. Rusk, and Earl Rusk, formed a club for mutual association of agriculture students.

The diary of D. Howard Doane contains the following account: "There was a club of farmers principally from the freshmen class organized to run a club house to be known as FarmHouse at the close of my freshman year, May 1905. Each was to get a roommate which would total 22 to fill our house which was rented for $65 per month. Only seven returned in September, but took the house and turned in into a regular rooming and boarding house."

Nationalization was first discussed with the establishment of the third organization bearing the name of FarmHouse at the University of Illinois. The first biennial Conclave was held in 1917. Thus, Missouri, Nebraska, and Illinois Chapters became FarmHouse National Fraternity with the adoption of a Constitution and By-Laws early in 1921.

Kentucky was the 12th chartered chapter in 1951. FarmHouse became international with the establishment of its 26th chapter at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on April 20, 1974. Currently, FarmHouse International Fraternity consists of 32 chapters, 1 colony, and 1 interest group.

FarmHouse Club to the Kentucky Chapter of FarmHouse Fraternity (1950 - 1951)

Harold K. Wilson, Executive Secretary of FarmHouse, wrote Dwight M. Seath, IA’27, in April, 1950, asking that he take the leadership in establishing a chapter at the University of Kentucky. Dwight wrote that he was too busy getting unsettled in his relatively new position as head of the dairy program at Kentucky to undertake this additional chore. He stated, however, that he had an interest in establishing a chapter at Kentucky. He felt a personal obligation to assist Harold, whom he had enjoyed having as a roommate at Iowa State University when a chapter was being established there.

The National office apparently took little notice of the "too busy" excuse. Early in May Dr. Seath received a letter from Joseph Ackerman, National President, stating that he would be in Lexington on May 14. He asked that a meeting be called to assemble all faculty members who had been members of other FarmHouse chapters, and a nucleus of outstanding Kentucky students and faculty who might help start a Kentucky Chapter of FarmHouse. As a result of this request, a meeting was held at the Student Union Building (now called the Student Center), with the following in attendance:

Students

Cecil C. Burnette, W. Harold Davis
Richard J. Fuchs, James T. Johnson
Justice E. Pendley, Arthur D. Pieringer

Faculty

Charles Barnhart, KY’51, Tommy Cox, OK’48
John Foster, MI’41 David Reid, KY
Dwight Seath, IA’27 Stanley Wall, KY’51

After a thorough discussion on the aims, ideals, and accomplishments of FarmHouse by Dr. Ackerman, the group voted to proceed toward forming a FarmHouse Club. This was the first step toward establishing a FarmHouse Chapter at Kentucky.

A follow-up meeting was held on May 16. The following officers were elected: President - Cecil Burnette, Business Manager - James Johnson, Secretary - Harold Davis, and Treasurer - Arthur Pieringer. The group voted to have Stanley Wall, Dwight Seath, David Reid and Charles Barnhart as faculty advisors. The ten students attending this first meeting were designated as charter members along with University of Kentucky faculty members Stanley Wall and Charles Barnhart.

Nine club members began living in a house at the corner of Transylvania Park and Euclid Avenue in the fall of 1950. They were Cecil Burnette, Richard Clement, James Johnson, Justus Pendley, Charles Rogers, Lynwood Schrader, Roy Sims, Robert Teater and Lee Tucker.

New officers were elected on April 18, 1951, to serve as the first officers of the Kentucky Chapter of FarmHouse. Elected were:

President - Lynwood Schrader Business Manager - Kenneth James Secretary - William Wash Corresponding Secretary - Roy Sims Treasurer - Harold buckles Social Chairman - Richard Clement Publicity Chairman - Harold Buckles IFC Representative - Roy Sims

The officers, along with Faculty Advisors Charles Barnhart and Stanley Wall, were initiated as members of the Kentucky Chapter at the chartering ceremony on May 12. Other members initiated at the chartering were Cecil Burnette, Charles Duvall, Richard Fuchs, William Hopper, James Johnson, Justus Pendley, Arthur Pieringer, John Robertson, Charles Rogers, Dale Stahl, Robert Teater, and Lee Tucker.

The formal chartering of the chapter was conducted by the National officers including President Joseph Ackerman and Secretary H.K. Wilson. Representatives from other chapters attended. The chartering ceremony was held at the Maxwell Presbyterian Church on High Street in Lexington.

The Conn Terrace Era (1951 - 1955)

The Kentucky Chapter was off and running as a bona fide chapter in the fall of 1951. All the preliminaries of forming a club, getting local IFC approval, and being formally chartered as the 12th FarmHouse Chapter were history.

Approximately 13 members moved into the first chapter house at 121 Conn Terrace under the capable leadership of President Lynwood Schrader. These members did not realize that the Conn Terrace residence would be their home away from home for the next five years. As with any new home the chapter had to acquire necessities such as furniture, drapes, floor covering, and kitchen equipment as well as numerous smaller items.

The beginning members owe a special debt of gratitude to Dwight Seath, Stanley Wall, David Reid, John Foster, Charles Barnhart, and others on the Association Board and the Faculty Advisory Committee during that first year. These men gave their time and services in making and acquiring the necessary furnishings. Much credit must also be given to the members of the Wives and Mothers Club, principally Martha Seath, Ruby Survant, Helen Scheidenhelm, Ruby Wall, Mom Josephine Urmstron, and others for their donations of time and energy in helping to raise money and make needed drapes, curtains, and other furnishings for the house. Had it not been for these women, FarmHouse at Kentucky might not have survived the trauma of the first years of existence.

There were other pressing needs in addition to the physical acquisitions. The chapter's Constitution and By-Laws were rewritten. The young men of FarmHouse were busy establishing their identity on campus as well as keeping financially solvent during the first five years. Much of the credit for this successful accomplishment must be given to the high caliber men serving as officers during those early years. History is often kind to the presidents and a few isolated individuals, but often the efforts of the business managers and other key officers go unnoticed. Individuals such as James Johnson, Kenneth James, Melbourne Brough, Noel Stevens and others should not be over looked. It was through the efforts of these men that rent collected, the bills were paid, and financial records were established.

Fred Williams should be commended for his contributions in those early days. Because of his outgoing personality in his association with various groups on clubs on campus, FarmHouse became well known and respected as a fraternity of scholarship, leadership, and activities. Fred devoted much of his time and effort to promoting FarmHouse. Much of its growth and development during the early days can be directly attributed to his efforts.

Through the years the Kentucky Chapter has been especially fortunate to have had some very wonderful and dedicated housemothers. Although it is difficult to single out any one housemother, it does seem appropriate in discussing this early history to say a few words about Mrs. Josephine Urmston, who served faithfully as housemother for the first ten years. Mom Urmston is remembered by those early members as a brave and courageous person with high moral and ethical standards. She was a valuable asset to the chapter in many ways. Mom's door was always open, and she made a point to talk with each boy. She believed strongly in the values and high standards of FarmHouse, and she did much to bring out the best in each of her boys.

Over the years three other housemothers followed her outstanding example in their service and contributions to the fraternity: Mrs. Scottie Arnold, Mrs. Elizabeth Unsworth, and Mrs. Lee Coatney. Mom Arnold served faithfully until her terminal illness forced retirement. Mom Unsworth served ten years in a most unselfish and admirable way. Mom Lee, who came in 1986, continued that tradition that Mrs. Urmstrom, Mrs. Arnold, and Mrs. Unsworth established, retiring in May of 2004 after 19 years.

The Rose Street Era (1955 - 1958)

It was during this time that the chapter experienced growing pains. Five years after the chapter was chartered, it had outgrown its first home. The small frame house on Conn Terrace, which accommodated a maximum of 18 men, had no room for expansion. This location was a good distance from the center of campus, which prompted efforts to locate nearer to the heart of campus.

After considerable searching, the Association Board acquired a larger house at 404 Rose Street in the summer of 1955. This house had the major advantage of being roomier inside and much nearer campus. Both the basement and upstairs floor were suitable for living quarters. This house did not have a separate study room, but the added space more than made up for this.

FarmHouse had now been on campus long enough to get involved in a number of University and community related activities. The chapter excelled in scholarship from the very beginning. FarmHouse has always prided itself on obtaining the high scholastic average semester after semester. The Triangle Fraternity (all engineers) was the only fraternity that gave FarmHouse any scholastic competition during those years. By now the FarmHouse name was highly respected by students and administrators. FarmHouse expanded its role outside the College of Agriculture during this era to become involved in campus activities such as homecoming float contests, push cart derby entries, Little Kentucky Derby participation, inter-fraternity sporting events, and others. The men of FarmHouse won the inter-fraternity basketball championship in 1956. Until that time, only the larger fraternities such Delta Tau Delta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Kappa Alpha had won.

The Aylesford Place Era (1958 - 1973)

The chapter made its third move in the summer of 1958 to 316 Aylesford Place. This was only a few blocks from the house on Rose Street. The Association had rented the two previous houses, but a loan of approximately $24,000 was obtained for the purchase of the three-story brick house. A rather substantial mortgage was assumed since the Association had accumulated only a small down payment. The Wives and Mothers Club, faculty members, alumni, and chapter officers again combined in a mighty effort of making shutters, drapes, curtains, and other items in addition to painting the interior to make the house more habitable.

This house was satisfactory for the six to eight years until the membership exceeded thirty. The chapter found itself struggling with the problem of overcrowded conditions. The old brick house, which had been relatively maintenance free in earlier years, was beginning to show the wear and tear of fraternity living and was in serious need of some major repairs. This would be expensive and still not solve the main problem of inadequate space. In 1964, a search began to find a larger and more suitable home for FarmHouse, but nine more years passed before another move was made.

Intensive House Searching Years

In 1966, housing was still at the top of FarmHouse's priority list. For the next several years an all-out effort was exerted to solve the housing dilemma that had plagued the fraternity since its chartering. It was difficult to find a house large enough to accommodate a medium-sized fraternity. To focus attention on the future growth and expansion of the organization a "Ten-Dollar Club" savings fund was initiated in the fall of 1965. This program encouraged alumni to contribute at least ten dollars per year to a fund to be used for either emergency maintenance needs of the house or as seed money for the future purchase of another house. Kenneth Overhults took the leadership on this project. During the seven years the program was active, approximately 35 members were faithful in making their pledges each year. Many more alumni made one or two contributions to the fund; however, only about two-thirds of the original goal of $5000 was ever raised.

To resolve the housing problem the Association Board established several committees which worked independently, but had one common objective in mind. One committee consulted with University officials relative to building additional University-owned and financed fraternity houses similar to those built in the early 1950s on Fraternity Row. This effort fell on deaf ears as the University had no plans to enlarge its ownership of additional fraternity houses.

Another committee consulted with local realtors to investigate the possibility of acquiring property in close proximity to the campus. After much searching, this too failed. As a consequence, Harvey Hamilton, OK'56, was asked to draw up plans for enlarging the existing house at 316 Aylesford Place; an alternative plan was to have a private firm build a modest structure that would accommodate forty-eight members. Special letters were sent out to both the Kentucky alumni and the National FarmHouse Foundation in an attempt to determine the best way to acquire funds for new construction. Joe Ross and Gerald White were asked to make an estimate of major maintenance and remodeling needs of the existing building, including the housemother's quarters. These needs were prioritized and presented to the Association Board along with the other housing committee reports.

Conclave 1970 – Lexington, Kentucky

In the midst of all the efforts on housing, the chapter took steps to host the 1970 National Conclave. One of the overriding thoughts behind hosting the Conclave was to focus attention on the existing housing problem. Some members envisioned that hosting the Conclave would help the Association's chances of obtaining a loan from the National FarmHouse Foundation, and would also bring extra pressure on the Kentucky Association to take more positive action in resolving the housing dilemma.

In retrospect, hosting the Conclave helped Kentucky FarmHouse in several ways. It relieved the tension that had been growing between the chapter and the Association Board by focusing their attention on other things. It also provided the opportunity for the chapter to prove to itself and the other campus fraternities that it could indeed host a National Conclave.

Fortunately, and to the surprise of some skeptics, the 1970 Conclave turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The efforts exerted in getting ready for the Conclave served as a catalyst to pull the chapter together at a time when it could have easily fragmented. The theme "I am concerned," announced in the fall of 1969, set the tone. This theme also carried over into other issues and concerns being confronted by the chapter and Association.

Robert C. (Bob) Ward, KY'54, did an outstanding job in handling the Conclave details. It was principally through tireless effort and the contributions of many chapter members that the Conclave was a tremendous success. The Conclave experience at Kentucky was long remembered and discussed throughout the entire fraternity for many years. Indeed, thirty years later many who attended still remember it as a highlight experience.

Bob was rewarded for his efforts by being elected to the National Executive Board of Directors. Two years later he was elected to the office of FarmHouse National President. No other Kentucky FarmHouse alumnus has held the office of National President. (The late Elmer Scheidenhelm, IL'23, a former University of Kentucky faculty member, and a loyal and respected friend of the Kentucky Chapter was National President several years before the Kentucky Chapter was established.

The Hilltop Avenue Era (1973 - present)

After all the excitement of the Conclave had subsided the perennial problem of housing resurfaced. But this time things began to fall into place. FarmHouse was given first option to lease the former Kitten Lodge football house located on fraternity row. This was the result of many long hours of consultation and negotiation with University officials by Harvey Hamilton, Gerald White, Joe Ross, Dennis Liptrap, Stanley Wall and others. When the house was finally acquired as the permanent home of the Kentucky FarmHouse Chapter, its dedication ceremony on October 14, 1973 was the reward of many long years of struggling for improved housing.

The dedication was a most important event in the history of the Kentucky Chapter. To commemorate this special occasion a number of University of Kentucky officials, and alumni and friends of FarmHouse were present. A plaque listing the names of those on the committees responsible for acquiring the house was presented to the chapter. It now resides in a most conspicuous place in the chapter living room above Mom Arnold's picture.

The acquisition of this house ended more than two decades of hard work and perseverance by many people. Special recognition must be given to numerous individuals for their untiring efforts in making this a reality. In addition to those mentioned previously, special thanks are also extended to those who, through the years had a part in working toward improved housing: Glenn Adams, Donald Applegate, Harry Bailey, Garnett Bradford, Ernest Clifford, Edward Fuchs, James Gooch, John Matheny, Loys Mather, Rudy Rutledge, William Smith, Philip Westerman and Samuel Whitaker.

The Rose Lane Era (2014 - )

Kentucky FarmHouse Association & FarmHouse Foundation of Kentucky, Inc.

The experience of the "Ten Dollar Club" convinced some that there could be a broader base of financial support for programs within the chapter. In 1975 the groundwork was laid for the FarmHouse Foundation of Kentucky. Kenneth Overhults, with the help of Damon Talley, established this non-profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to providing educational support to the chapter and its individual members. Other who have served and assisted with development of the foundation included James Gooch, Mickey Miller, William Moody, John Reynolds, Stanley Wall, and William Wood.

This foundation has supported the international FarmHouse Foundation, provided assistance for the chapter to attend Conclaves and regional FarmHouse leadership conferences, purchased equipment to enhance the educational environment, and provided scholarships to chapter members. More than 150 alumni have contributed to these efforts. The largest single project of the foundation has been the establishment of an endowed scholarship fund in honor of former Housemother Elizabeth Unsworth Seath and founder Dwight M. Seath.

1976 - 25th ANNIVERSARY BANQUET

The chapter celebrated its 25th Anniversary on April 10, 1976 with a banquet and Founder's Day program at the Hospitality Motor Inn in Lexington. Committee members responsible for planning and organizing of this affair were William Moody, Bob Ward, David Wills and Warren Wilson.

In addition to the usual chapter presentations of Doane and Seath awards, sweetheart, and pledge paddles, nine individuals were honored for their distinguished service to the fraternity with the presentation of 25th Anniversary paper eights. Dwight Seath and Stanley Wall were recognized as recipients of the "Master Builder of Men" award given by the international fraternity in recognition of their many contributions over the years. John Matheny served the Association as treasurer longer than any other person and was always ready and willing to help wherever there was a need. William Moody was thanked for his continuous untiring service to the chapter. Kenneth Overhults was singled out for his untiring efforts as chairman and organizer of the "Ten Dollar Club" as well as his loyal service in other ways. Damon Talley, the speaker, was honored for this and his many other contributions to the fraternity. Bob Ward was recognized for his leadership role as Conclave chairman and his service to the FarmHouse International Executive Board. Richard White, chapter president, and Mom Ella Smith were honored for their dedication and contributions to the chapter.

THE 1980’s

The beginning of the 1980s found the chapter well established on the Kentucky campus. Through 30 years of growth and development, FarmHouse men were highly respected for high scholastic achievement and outstanding leadership of many campus organizations. In the fall of 1986, FarmHouse had the highest fraternity GPA ever (3.0). A summa cum laude award was received from FarmHouse International Fraternity for 1986-87.

FarmHouse increased its involvement in community service projects. In 1979, the Greek Community Service Award was initiated by FarmHouse. The award was presented to the fraternity and sorority accumulating the most community service points through the Greek system. In the spring of 1980, the Kentucky Chapter began the annual FarmHouse Dance Contest and through the following years raised several thousand dollars for charitable organizations. In 1982, more than 800 people participated and $750 was raised to benefit the American Cancer Society. A second successful project begun in 1982 was an annual blood drive. FarmHouse won the Greek Community Service Award for 1987, 1988, and 1989.

During the 1980s, FarmHouse members continued to hold leadership positions in many campus organizations. In 1982, the Kentucky Chapter made a sweep of the Ag College Student Council elections: every position was filled by a FarmHouse member. FarmHouse members continued to be recognized each year for contributions to various campus organizations.

As with any building, the chapter house at 420 Hilltop Avenue began to show signs of wear and tear, and house maintenance problems resurfaced. The TV room was remodeled into a tiered structure in 1983 to accommodate a larger membership with minimum upkeep. A major renovation was required in 1987 to bring the house into compliance with fire codes. All ceilings were replaced, and new doors installed. A new fire alarm system and sprinkler system were placed in the downstairs lobby and living room. The Kentucky Foundation purchased a computer system, and an upstairs sleeping room was converted into a computer lab and officers' work room.

In 1980 Kentucky was once again represented on the International Executive Board when Kenneth W. Overhults was elected as a Director. he was re-elected for a second term in 1984 and served as Vice President from 1986 to 1988. In 1986 Dennis O. Liptrap was elected to a six year term as a FarmHouse Foundation Trustee. Kentucky hosted a regional care and relationship Education Workshop in 1982 and a Forward FarmHouse Seminar in 1985. Although it never achieved the top award, the chapter continually ranked near the top at each biennial Conclave. The President's Trophy, awarded for the largest total man-miles attending Conclave, was won for the fifth consecutive time at the 1986 Conclave held in Edmonton, Alberta.

The 1980s also saw the rest of the Kentucky Greek community accept a philosophy that FarmHouse has had since it was created. In the mid 1980s the entire fraternity system adopted a position of allowing only "dry rush". This was later expanded to say that no fraternity funds could be used to purchase alcohol for any organized fraternity function. Once again, the rest of the fraternity system had chosen to adopt a position that FarmHouse at Kentucky has held since its inception.

The 1990’s

The 1990s began with the men of the Kentucky chapter establishing a period of dominance on the UK campus that was unheralded. Between the years of 1990 and 1993, FarmHouse set another record within campus leadership when presidents of the Student Government Association, Inter-fraternity Council, Student Development Council, and Greek Activities Steering Committee were all FarmHouse men. Furthermore, FarmHouse continued to be highly respected within the Greek community when in 1992, Shannon Morgan was selected as Greek Man of the Year. In 1995, the Kentucky chapter gained its fourth Greek Man of the Year with Mark Engstrom.

As for scholastic achievement, FarmHouse continued to be dominant in this area as evidenced by the recognition it received in 1994. The Kentucky chapter for a second time was awarded the prestigious Summa Cum Laude Award from FarmHouse International Fraternity for being 31.8% above the all men's average. It should be noted that the chapter has ranked first in grades for nearly a quarter of its existence on the UK campus.

The chapter's ever-present role in serving the community was continued during this decade. New long-term service oriented relationships were established with Camp KYSOC, a Kentucky Easter Seals facility, and the Kentucky Department of Transportation Adopt-A-Highway Program. It is through these semester projects and other campus service opportunities that the chapter maintains its focus to give promise of service to their fellow man and to the world. The chapter domination of the tug-o-war intramural events, as well as other athletics competitions continued throughout this decade.

As noted in the 1980s history section, the chapter house at 420 Hilltop Avenue continued to display signs of wear and tear along the way. Through the efforts of the active chapter and the Association Board many house improvement projects were successfully completed. The living room and foyer furniture were reconditioned during this time. The carpet in the T.V. room, as well as in the upstairs hallway was replaced. The dining room, kitchen facilities, and window dressings were also renovated during this period. Many of these improvements were in response to 1998 Conclave preparations.

Conclave made a return to Lexington in 1998 when it was held at the downtown Hyatt Regency. This three-day event proved to be a great experience and a lot of fun for the active chapter, alumni members, and the vast number of guests in attendance. Events were also held at the chapter house, E.S. Good barn, and at the Campbell House golf course. The active chapter took many memories from this Conclave, particularly noting the fact that they had not placed in any of the International achievement awards. It was this memory that sparked the initiatives that the chapter was about to undertake.

In January 1999, the active chapter began the implementation of a strategic planning process, in which it began examining itself on a variety of focal areas. It was within these focal areas that the chapter developed goals and made persons responsible for the completion of these goals. It was during this year, that the chapter began thinking that it would no longer just stand to be the best on campus, but rather one of the best FarmHouse chapters in the nation. It was these many changes and the redevelopment of a chapter, focused on alumni relations and leading by example, that led to Garry L. Weston being recognized as the FarmHouse Chapter President of the Year, which he attributes to the hard work and dedication shown by the 1999 officer team and the entire chapter that year.

The 2000’s

These vast changes that the chapter underwent at the end of 1990s did not go unnoticed on the University of Kentucky's campus or on an International level. At the Greek Banquet for the 1999-2000 school year, the chapter was recognized for levels of excellence in a record seven areas. This was continued at this past spring's Greek awards banquet when the chapter led the Greek system by being recognized in eight areas of fraternal emphasis.

At the 2000 Conclave, the chapter was recognized as having the 2nd ranked chapter. The chapter was also recognized for being the national leader in financial management and having the most outstanding chapter newsletter. The President's Trophy was also attained by the chapter for a record seventh time at this Conclave. The chapter made quite a showing in St. Louis, which began when the bus unloaded the 32 members in attendance and ended when the chapter took home the 2nd place trophy. For the 2001 school year, the chapter ranked 5th in the newly formed green division of FarmHouse chapters.

At the end of the 1990s, the University of Kentucky created the Greek Alumni Hall of Fame. It was in 2000 and 2001 that alumni members of the Kentucky chapter were selected for induction in this highly prestigious group of fraternity men. Dr. William G. Moody was inducted in the 2000 class, while Lynwood Schrader was selected for this honor this past spring. The contributions of these men to the UK campus, the Lexington community, and the Kentucky chapter were recognized through this honor. The chapter looks forward with excitement to further FH inductees receiving this campus recognition.

Since the start of 2000, the chapter house at 420 Hilltop Avenue has really begun to show its age. Recently the Association Board, through a university mandate, undertook a major improvement project with the installation of a sprinkler system in the upstairs residential areas and various other first floor areas. Many other major projects are anticipated in the coming years, with roofing and structural improvements of increased importance.

Social Development

Society demands of us that we live within the laws, which it has written. It demands that we look at every act we perform in relationship to its effects on those with whom we live. As our communities grow in size and as we become even more aware of the greater community the demands become more and more frequent, and immeasurably larger.

Additionally our love for our fellow man demands discipline and concern for our every act, that we do not blindly step on others on the way to the top, that we do not sweep aside unconcernedly the basic truths with which our families endowed us as children.

Respect for ourselves and each other demands that we behave with intelligence and with regard for each other, to the best of our abilities, in a controlled and considerate demean.

We are judged in society by our manners, by our attitudes and by our behavior. As members of a group we have come to realize that the group is often judged by the actions of the individual, as the group with which he associates judges the individual.

It is the aim of FarmHouse to create opportunities for its members to develop social refinement. Chapter functions often include dances, exchanges with sororities and fraternities, Parents' Weekends, Founders' Day celebrations, and Homecoming festivities.

A majority of the FarmHouse chapters employ a housemother who is experienced in working with young people and is generally an excellent resource person for advice in social matters.

Friendly and constructive criticism is part of the plan of FarmHouse living and is designed, in part, to help each man to achieve ease and poise at social functions. It is recognized that the ability to accept constructive criticism and to profit by it comes with maturity. (Source: FarmHouse International Fraternity web site)

Kentucky Chapter Founder

Kentucky Chapter Founder - Dr. Dwight M. Seath, IA'27

Dwight Moody Seath was born on December 19, 1903, on a dairy farm near Freeborn, MN. He received B.S. and PhD degrees from Iowa State University and the M.S. degree from Kansas State University. Between degrees, he worked as a County Agricultural Agent in Iowa and as an Extension Dairyman in Kansas. He headed the dairy research program at Louisiana State University until he became head of the University of Kentucky Dairy Department in 1948. He retired from this position in 1969. Dr. Seath lived his last years of life to the fullest and passed away at St. Joseph Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky on September 3, 1992 at the age of 88.

Dr. Seath and his roommate H.K. Wilson were among the Charter members of the Iowa State FarmHouse Chapter. In 1976, the Kentucky Chapter nominated him for the highest award FarmHouse International Fraternity can bestow upon its alumni, the "Master Builder of Men Award". He is considered to be the founder of the Kentucky Chapter.

Dr. Seath, who lived at 127 Jesselin Drive, was honored in 1965 as UK Dairyman of the Year by the UK Dairy Science Club. He had served on a governor's committee on agriculture; was a principal founder of the Kentucky Purebred Cattle Association; and had been recognized as an outstanding judge of dairy cattle.

Stock gifts

There are two major tax benefits that occur when gifts of stock are made.

First, you are able to avoid capital gains taxes that would normally be paid on stocks that have appreciated in value.

Second, you are allowed to deduct the full fair market value of the gift from your taxes for that year, provided you have owned the stock for more than one year.

Stocks can be transferred electronically from your brokerage account or can be sent through the mail if held in a certificate form. If you indicate that you will be donating via stock, then the appropriate transfer forms will be sent by a representative of FarmHouse Foundation of KY, Inc.

A gift of stock is valued by using the average (mean) between the high and low prices on the date of the gift. The gift date for securities transferred from your brokerage account is the day the transfer hits the Foundation's brokerage account. If securities are mailed in certificate form, the gift date is the date it is received by FarmHouse Foundation of KY, Inc.

Last Will & Testament

It can be as easy as including a simple bequest in your will, adding a codicil to an existing will, or naming the Foundation as the beneficiary of a portion of an IRA or insurance policy. Here are two examples.

"I give, devise, and bequeath to FarmHouse Foundation of Kentucky, Inc., all [or state the fraction or percentage] of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and personal. FarmHouse Foundation of Kentucky, Inc. can be contacted at P.O. Box 34034, Lexington, KY, 40588

How did FarmHouse Foundation of Kentucky, Inc. come about?
To focus attention on the future growth and expansion of the organization a "Ten-Dollar Club" savings fund was initiated in the fall of 1965 for the Kentucky FarmHouse Chapter. This program encouraged alumni to contribute at least ten dollars per year to a fund to be used for either emergency maintenance needs of the house or as seed mone...y for the future purchase of another house. Kenneth Overhults took the leadership on this project. The experience of the "Ten Dollar Club" convinced some that there could be a broader base of financial support for programs within the chapter. During the seven years the program was active, approximately 35 members were faithful in making their pledges each year. In 1975, the groundwork was laid for the FarmHouse Foundation of Kentucky, Inc. to be established. Kenneth Overhults, with the help of Damon Talley, established this non-profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to providing educational support to the chapter and its individual members. Other who have served and assisted with development of the foundation included alumni James Gooch, Mickey Miller, Bill Moody, John Reynolds, Stanley Wall, and William Wood. Many alumni and friends have contributed to these efforts since its inception.
