LIVERMORE FALLS ADVERTISER • July 17, 2024

Family, friends, officials and the agricultural community gathered Tuesday to share memories of longtime farmer L. Herbert “Bussie” York. The lifelong Farmington resident died July 9 at the age of 86. Oldest daughter Terry Zacker said her father never thought he was anyone special. “He was just a small-town farmer who worked hard every day to provide for his family and to be one of the many who grew food to sustain others. His life is a testament to hard work and resiliency, to supporting his community and those in it, and to listening to and learning from others he met along the journey.”
