The black and white image above shows the original childhood homestead of Loretta Lynn and her large family (I’m having trouble getting the entire photo which shows the whole house to fit). She was the second of eight children, born April 14, 1934. This color photo shows a reproduction of the original home, evidently based upon that single black and photo. I’ve only seen that one. The blank space is due to my inexperience with employing Paint or any other editing software to edit an image.
