The couple spent time daily playing music — he on violin and she on a grand piano they had carried a mile down to their cabin from the nearest road.

They read classic literature aloud to one another, sometimes in foreign languages.

Born at the turn of the 20th century, they married in their 40s and spent years floating a houseboat down the river before moving to Payne Hollow in Trimble County, Ky.

They built a home and studio without electricity, and they gardened, fished, foraged and raised goats.
