Henry and Anna Naeve had several children, with Annie, Catharina, Christine, Clara, Emma, Minnie, Henry, Ella, and George appearing on the 1900 and/or 1910 census records. Emma Naeve was a teacher in Louisville schools in at least 1915 and 1916. Anna Naeve passed away in 1914. By the time of the 1920 census, Henry was operating a farm on his property, and living with him were his daughter, Ella, age 18, and his son, George, 16. Henry Naeve died in 1926. Ownership of Corner Farm by Henry and Florence Richards, 1924-1946 In 1924, Henry and Florence Richards purchased this parcel at what is today 9673 Dillon Road. Henry Richards was born in Wales and he was in his forties at the time of the 1930 census. He was listed as being the superintendent of a coal mine. His wife, Florence, was also in her forties in 1930. The 1940 census records show that Henry and Florence Richards were still living on this property at that time, and Henry was a farm laborer. Ownership of Corner Farm by Raymond and Dorothy Payne, 1946-1958 In 1946, Raymond and Dorothy Payne acquired this property and worked it as a farm. Raymond Payne was born in Colorado and lived from 1902 to 1968. Dorothy Hoffman Payne was born in Illinois and lived from 1903 to 1980. It was during the Payne ownership that the County Assessor's office took the following photos of buildings on the property, with the historic farmhouse shown first. It is believed that the photos date from 1948 or the early 1950s. Some of these structures may no longer be standing. Other photos taken at that time, not included here, show structures labeled as "gone."
