Will Lighton, whose article, “The Story of an Arkansas Farm,” published in the Saturday Evening Post, died in Hollywood. His story, and later the expanded book Happy Hollow Farm, attracted more than 200 “back-to-the-farm” settlers to Fayetteville (Washington County), where for many years he had run a farm on the principles of “scientific agriculture.”
