In February, 1934, when work began on Cumberland Homesteads, Mike Smathers’ parents moved to the neighboring community of Big Lick. Mike Smathers still lives there with Judy, Susie, Jeff and assorted animals on a small working farm carved out of scrub forest land acquired by his parents in 1941, the year he was born. He is a country preacher, Presbyterian variety, and on the staff of the Southern Appalachian Leadership Training Program. (1980)
