@@marylougeorge9890 I wouldn’t say that the stairs were stable and sturdy ( the elements and dampness).

It was once a very nice home but now it has become a very bad health hazard ! if no one wants to be up for thousands upon thousands of $,s and at least a year, year and a half to get it up to code then it is time to bring it down !

Thanks Darryl. My curiosity needs to be answered and the biggest question in hear “if these walls could talk”, drives me nuts. So i make them talk. Thanks for watching!
@@secondaryhighway I have driven truck for spud harvest for 18 or 19 years now. While working for the first of the 4 farmers I've driven for, there was an old house that I drove by on the way to and from the spud cellar. It was boarded up but I always wished I could go explore it. I also thought "The stories they could tell if those walls could talk." I ended up writing a poem titled "This Old House." Thank you for your videos. I look forward to seeing more of them.
What an absolutely beautiful old house. And so much bigger than I thought. And what a beautiful window up in the attic. That house was very well built. What a shame it could not have been saved.
My grandma's house was built in the early 1900s. When my family died, I inherited the house. It needed a lot of work, and I was moving to Texas so I sold it do some people who planned to renovate it. But they lied to me. And they tore it down. They built a new house, but what made me sad, was they built it in a totally different spot. That old house had been there for more than a hundred years. If I'd known they were going to demolish it, i never would have sold it to them. I still go by there once in awhile. Always makes me cry.
@@secondaryhighway this house reminds me of my grandmother's it was a big old Victorian that had been added on to a few different times Probably built around the same time.
They most likely didn’t lie, changed mind instead. Probably after consulting contractors and considering cost and taxes. These large old houses get taxed into abandonment then demolished. The greed of the property tax office…
The problem is Devil runs the world. He is liar and murderer. This is the reason why liars and murderers feel good while righteous persons are persecuted. This is the reason why Hitler got the power, but Christ was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clergy. This is the reason why all people are spoiled and the whole world is Sodom. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our loved ones again! :-)
Beautiful video! I live in Alberta, and always admire these structures from a distance, wondering what they look like, feel like from the inside. I wonder about the lives that were lived there, and the happiness and struggles they had. You can still feel the energy of life amongst the ruins. I consider this such a thing of beauty!
I wish I had the time to stop and ask for permission to explore, I am all over Edmonton and areas for work, and I absolutely long to enjoy them before they are gone. Thanks to your videos I can do this through you! I look forward to enjoying the rest of your videos, thank you for them!
Thanks for all the time and research. The home is very large and full of history. I like the respect you show by honoring the deceased families in all your videos.
The first home my wife and I purchased looked like this home but had a porch across the entire front! It had a a soldered tin roof and gutters built into the roof which drained into an underground cistern in the back! It had the horse hair plaster latch walls and ceilings! Tall double hung windows with glass that had some waves in it! It was built in the 1830’s. I’m always sad to see these beautiful old homes abandoned! I can imagine the laughter of the family’s that lived in them!
I LOVE how you add photos, and background information about the family's that lived there. It really brings these old places to life. Your adventures, have a calming effect for me. Well done. 😌
A nice look at an original prairie Homestead - well done. For those interested here is some more on the Foreman family and the Pioneer PO. Enjoy. In 1870 the farm family from Whitstable, Kent came to Ontario's Muskoka District under a commercial agricultural scheme. It was not farmland but George, Emma & family stuck it out. In 1895 their youngest, Ernest (1867-1953) and his wife Mary (1868-1960) secured a quarter-section (NW21/40/16/W4) under the Homestead Act 15 miles ENE of Stettler Alberta. Here he opened the Foreman PO on 1 Sep 1905 (closed 15 Mar 1946). His closest brother Frank (1865-1956), wife 'Annie' (1870-1947) and their 6 children followed in 1902 leaving Port Carling for a Homestead 6 miles due west (17/40/17/W4) of his brother's place. Within 4 years they had 24 head of cattle, 6 milk cows, 4 horses - and a hog! Two miles NW of the farm a small settlement, Red Willow, was established in 1903 (PO opened 15 Aug). Three more children were born at Pioneer farm including George Kennett Foreman in 1904, the baby buried on the property (there is no official record of a second infant). As we have learned, 14 year old eldest child Gordon died in an accident (19 Sep 1906). Apparently this happened on his uncle's farm as the coroner named Foreman as his place of death. Gordon became the first of 13 people buried in the Prairie Grove Cemetery (SE19/40/17/W4) NW of Pioneer farm between 1906-1925. The opening of the N/S branch line of the Cdn Northern Rwy in 1911 changed life dramatically. A stop was est at mile 40, 15 mi N of Stettler (30/40/18/W4) named Coralynn (PO op 1 Ap). Red Willow, 3 mi E, could not compete with the draw of a Rwy village and rapidly withered, the PO closing 30 Sp 1912. It was not forgotten, however, as the residents who migrated to Coralynn had its name changed to Red Willow on 1 Mar 1915 - as it remains today. The Rwy brought new settlers and by the mid-teens 35 farms with 165 people surrounded Frank's place. On 15 Jun 1914 the Pioneer PO opened in their house to serve this population with Frank as postmaster. By the end of the decade the brothers decided once again to pull up stakes. With only two teenaged daughters at home Ernest sold the Foreman farm to Hugh Ford. Frank purchased an orchard in Penticton BC selling the property to the Fromm's and the Pioneer PO closed on 30 Ap 1920. A few months earlier Frank & Annie welcomed an unexpected arrival, baby Bryan, their 10th child. Frank and his son Edwin (1902-72) ran their orchard for 35 years until retiring in 1955. Ernest built houses in Penticton (he was a carpenter by trade before moving west) retiring in 1950 to Salmon Arm. Four of Frank's younger children lived to their 90's and their last connection with the Pioneer Homestead ended with Bryan's death in 2008.

Appreciate the respect you show for the families who lived out their lives in these priceless old homes. Your videos without the usual endless and meaningless yapping are a breath of fresh air.
**Thank you so much for giving us the backstory about this home and the owners!!! 😊 I GUARANTEE that was SUCH a GORGEOUS home BK in the day!! I bet there were MANY cherished memories made there!!😉
I love all the research and family members. Much better we know about the house and family that lived there. Thank you for great research you do. Really enjoy these videos.
This home was left to rot and is not dying with any dignity..sad..somehow you are giving it the respect it needs..you have done a wonderful job of telling its story and history of the ones who lived there…
Thanks. This house is dear to the family, but there comes a point when everything thing crosses the path of no return. An effort was made but the cost was too great. There was no need for it to be torn down and it stands as a reminder until someone like me comes a long and asks the questions we all want to know. The family has been amazing! 🤩
Your presentations are fascinating, it's wonderful how the absence of narration allows the places to speak for themselves. There is a calming effect of hearing your footsteps as you walk through the house, it's great when you show pictures of the history and give us a back story! Well done!!!
With somber feelings I look at these old abandoned homes with thoughts of all the past times this family had, how time has wiped it all out, and how time will inevitably wipe out all the times my own family has had in our home - even the memories eventually disappear. I'm still trapped not really knowing what sense to make of life.
Its such an impressive act when a man builds his own home for his family. They likely thought is would be in the family for generations. I really wish cities/towns/districts took pride in their hystory and kept many places up restored and protected. The buriels are truly sad being left like that. You can see the love and pride this family had in their home.
That is a Large House Must have been something back when it was first built, it must have been a hive of industry with 9 Children, Still in fairly Good Condition! Was the Toilet an Outhouse?
Thank you, thank you, thank you for allowing us to hear the silence of these abandoned places! I get so frustrated when I watch other explorers talk the entire time with unnecessary commentary… ie “look everyone, it’s a sink, how cool” 🤦♀. I really appreciate being able to hear the nature surrounding you, the creaks and cracks of the building you are walking through, even your tap on the iron, etc. perfection! Definitely subscribing!
Thanks! I like to let the places speak for themselves. I too get annoyed by talkers, and not everyone likes certain music. It takes away from the true soul of the house. I appreciate your comment. 😀
So well done, I enjoy it all from the old clothes, washing machines, furniture, especially the woodworking, I come from a Family of Carpenters, my Father was also a Finish Carpenter he did all the Pretty Detail Work and I Love to see that… Thanks 😊
This must have been a lovely place to live, with lots of space around and houses such as this, were meant to last forever.👍👍This house must have been very busy with laughter and also sadness. Such is life.💪💪👍.✝☮
Hi just found you and I actually love how you have very good history in homes and family. I like also you don't chat all over your videos. Great I am enjoying watching them. Joanna United kingdom.
What a lovely home. Its amazing how well preserved it still is. Even most of the plastered walls are somewhat intact. Do you think it may be, in part, due to having no running water or sewer? It didnt appear to have a lot of the mold issues often seen. Thanks again for another great story tour!
Great questions. I’m not entirely sure. The roof has a lot of holes which water and snow gets through. The foundation is pretty solid. I’m sure there is a lot of mild but we can’t see it behind the plaster.
@@secondaryhighway ahh yes, true. If there are holes in the roof, there will be mold even if it's not overly obvious. Thanks for the answer. You do great, valuable and enjoyable work. It's appreciated.
Love the attic! That was a awesome room in it's day! Was trying to get a good look at the windows. I lived in a house and the windows had rope around the inside of the frames. That's what was used for raising and lowering the window. Haven't seen to many of them.
Great video. Something sad about clothing still left hanging, like it is waiting for the wearer to come back. The Irving Posluns coat. I checked the brand name out & there are quite few for sale on online vintage clothing sites.
I really love your videos and the way you explore. Can I make one small suggestion? Could you aim the camera out the window to see The view the woman would be seeing every day? Just as if she was standing there pondering?
In many of these old houses, there's a lighter strip along the top foot or so of the wall. It doesn't look like missing crown molding or wallpaper border; rather that the ceiling paint extended down the top 12" or so of the wall. Does anyone know anything about this? Was this common in early 1900s houses?
Our house has that and there is a wooden strip a few inches down from the ceiling. The strip was used to hang picture wire from so that pictures could be hung without damaging the plaster with nails. I don't know why some places still had that without the actual trim there. Perhaps they couldn't afford the extra trim but painting or papering like that still looked like a house that could?
Fascinating. It's true that many styles come from imitating something else. Wallpaper, for instance, was invented to imitate the silk that rich people hung on their walls. In a few movies/TV set in the early 1900s, I see the ceiling paint go down the wall like this and I love it, but I can find almost nothing written about it. Thanks for this. @tanyaredfield
I really admire the early settlers, not really knowing what lay ahead of them very brave people. I live in England and find these derelict homes fascinating. So much history, and the babies graves very emotional, just thinking about the loss of 2 young children layed to rest in their garden. 🎉🎉
Weird to see a place we snuck into early on when I was just getting into urbex. Grew up really close to this place. Glad to see the house is still standing.
Really liked the size of the house, and the stairs, upstairs hallway.. my mama use to have a ole wringer type washer.. so nice they used to iron for the gravemarkers instead of stone or wood, it'll last forever not rot..sad story bout the little boy getting shot.. thank u for sharing their story and photos 😊
My grandma used a wringer washer into the 1980s even after they went out and bought her a new washer and dryer, she still used her ringer and hung her stuff on the line LoL
Great videos. I wish there was a channel like yours that is local for me down here in the US, but all of the ones I've found are teenagers who are loud and obnoxious and disturb EVERYTHING.
I’m not entirely sure they knew exactly where they were, but over time the depression occurs where the coffins collapse and that was where they figured them out to be.
there is so much more to say about this video .i wonder how the haydays would be in this house .when did somebody step on to those stairs where u touched your feet again .walls are whispering the stories of every person who lived in this beautiful house .what was the goal of their residents ,and where they ve been gone , what they ve been thru in their life .how simple life they lived , no internet ,no mobile . God has every persons history but we dont have . we can just imagine it and assume something what our mind portraits 'good or bad . woow . i love to be in the past to see how the life passes their time .🎉
@secondaryhighway u better mention the place as well ,where its located .that makes viewers imagination more vibrant and colorful. and i wish u speak those words which u mentioned in your videos on bottom side .that makes it more interesting .and keep caption ON to let it write everything what u said .
Wont a same it would have been a great old house in the days mate its wound cost a arm and leg to do up these days mate the old houses are like old cars they got a great look about them mate
The story of their son being shot because his brother tripped happened to me and my friend out hunting,she tripped on high grass and as she was getting up grabbed the rifle by the top of the barrel grass must have pulled the trigger and the bullet went through her finger and hit the tree next to me not 2 inches away from my head…she was fine but police showed up at the hospital and wanted to know what we were doing,because we didn’t have hunting licenses told him we were targeted practicing in the back yard,in a residential neighborhood..lol Of course he didn’t believe but couldn’t do anything about it.. We we’re hunting wild pig in Chalmette La,a few weeks later my friends husband went back and got a huge pig,one time shot a dear with a arrow and got two heads at once,a 12 point and a 10 point had gotten stuck together and one hoofed the others head off after it died..
A play on words considering the building was the first post office in the area. Loss of memories, people, life and now the slow loss of this building. Post offices typically lose letters. I’m no Shakespeare but I tried. 🤷♂️
They did the best they could but the cost to upkeep these old places can be much too costly. The plan was to build a new house on the land but their grandson bought their house in town.

Probably built around the same time.
You probably know this but that broken piece of glass you picked up in the attic, came off of an old electric line. The type that looks like a t-post
They most likely didn’t lie, changed mind instead. Probably after consulting contractors and considering cost and taxes.
These large old houses get taxed into abandonment then demolished. The greed of the property tax office…

Aww someone should take that beautiful wallpaper and flooring and put it in a frame for the family!! I love the wallpaper! ❤❤❤
Great idea.
I actually like the wallpaper. Back then, men took pride when building a home 🏡
I agree. Not like the industrial looking places today.

A nice look at an original prairie Homestead - well done. For those interested here is some more on the Foreman family and the Pioneer PO. Enjoy.
In 1870 the farm family from Whitstable, Kent came to Ontario's Muskoka District under a commercial agricultural scheme. It was not farmland but George, Emma & family stuck it out. In 1895 their youngest, Ernest (1867-1953) and his wife Mary (1868-1960) secured a quarter-section (NW21/40/16/W4) under the Homestead Act 15 miles ENE of Stettler Alberta. Here he opened the Foreman PO on 1 Sep 1905 (closed 15 Mar 1946). His closest brother Frank (1865-1956), wife 'Annie' (1870-1947) and their 6 children followed in 1902 leaving Port Carling for a Homestead 6 miles due west (17/40/17/W4) of his brother's place. Within 4 years they had 24 head of cattle, 6 milk cows, 4 horses - and a hog! Two miles NW of the farm a small settlement, Red Willow, was established in 1903 (PO opened 15 Aug). Three more children were born at Pioneer farm including George Kennett Foreman in 1904, the baby buried on the property (there is no official record of a second infant).
As we have learned, 14 year old eldest child Gordon died in an accident (19 Sep 1906). Apparently this happened on his uncle's farm as the coroner named Foreman as his place of death. Gordon became the first of 13 people buried in the Prairie Grove Cemetery (SE19/40/17/W4) NW of Pioneer farm between 1906-1925.
The opening of the N/S branch line of the Cdn Northern Rwy in 1911 changed life dramatically. A stop was est at mile 40, 15 mi N of Stettler (30/40/18/W4) named Coralynn (PO op 1 Ap). Red Willow, 3 mi E, could not compete with the draw of a Rwy village and rapidly withered, the PO closing 30 Sp 1912. It was not forgotten, however, as the residents who migrated to Coralynn had its name changed to Red Willow on 1 Mar 1915 - as it remains today. The Rwy brought new settlers and by the mid-teens 35 farms with 165 people surrounded Frank's place. On 15 Jun 1914 the Pioneer PO opened in their house to serve this population with Frank as postmaster.
By the end of the decade the brothers decided once again to pull up stakes. With only two teenaged daughters at home Ernest sold the Foreman farm to Hugh Ford. Frank purchased an orchard in Penticton BC selling the property to the Fromm's and the Pioneer PO closed on 30 Ap 1920. A few months earlier Frank & Annie welcomed an unexpected arrival, baby Bryan, their 10th child.
Frank and his son Edwin (1902-72) ran their orchard for 35 years until retiring in 1955. Ernest built houses in Penticton (he was a carpenter by trade before moving west) retiring in 1950 to Salmon Arm. Four of Frank's younger children lived to their 90's and their last connection with the Pioneer Homestead ended with Bryan's death in 2008.

This is fascinating! Thank you for all the effort you put into this
Thanks for watching!
This must have been a lovely place to live, with lots of space around and houses such as this, were meant to last forever.👍👍This house must have been very busy with laughter and also sadness. Such is life.💪💪👍.✝☮
I’m still in contact with the descendants. Many happy times here.
Hi just found you and I actually love how you have very good history in homes and family. I like also you don't chat all over your videos. Great I am enjoying watching them. Joanna United kingdom.
Thanks Joanna. I agree. My voice and taste in music would be annoying. It takes away the respect of the home. Thanks for watching.
To some that house was empty and quiet, you gave it it a face and sound.
Thanks. 🙏
Great comment-so true indeed.
Beautiful!! Thank you for showing this! Houses in are not built like this anymore!
They sure don’t! 💯
I like the history of the houses.
Excellent video 👍
Thanks Gary.
Thank you for sharing this!
No problem Tara! 😀
What a large home … how many rooms were there? It must have been homey and comfortable during all the families lives. Lots of happy memories!
Lost count. But it certainly was a mansion.
They had nine children, that space was needed 😅
Another good one. Thank you so much.
I’ll keep them coming!
I hope so!
Sooooooo Amazing!❤
The only thing I thought strange, they put the washer machine up stairs?
Seem like that would be on first floor.
It may have been moved up there. Nowadays in the newer homes, there’s a room on the upper floor off the bedroom.
What a lovely home. Its amazing how well preserved it still is. Even most of the plastered walls are somewhat intact. Do you think it may be, in part, due to having no running water or sewer? It didnt appear to have a lot of the mold issues often seen.
Thanks again for another great story tour!
Great questions. I’m not entirely sure. The roof has a lot of holes which water and snow gets through. The foundation is pretty solid. I’m sure there is a lot of mild but we can’t see it behind the plaster.
@@secondaryhighway ahh yes, true. If there are holes in the roof, there will be mold even if it's not overly obvious. Thanks for the answer.
You do great, valuable and enjoyable work. It's appreciated.
Love the attic! That was a awesome room in it's day!
Was trying to get a good look at the windows.
I lived in a house and the windows had rope around the inside of the frames. That's what was used for raising and lowering the window. Haven't seen to many of them.
I have a couple of those in videos. The empty heart empty house video
I really enjoy these old houses. My grandparents on mothers side lived in a n old house with downstairs. I was afraid to walk around in it by myself.
lol I think we all went to houses like that growing up.
Great video. Something sad about clothing still left hanging, like it is waiting for the wearer to come back. The Irving Posluns coat. I checked the brand name out & there are quite few for sale on online vintage clothing sites.
Ya someone else mentioned that and they can go for good $.
I really love your videos and the way you explore. Can I make one small suggestion? Could you aim the camera out the window to see The view the woman would be seeing every day? Just as if she was standing there pondering?
💯. I’ll keep that in mind for the next shoots!!! 🙏😀
So very sad that no one wanted to keep and love this home.
They did try but it was too time consuming and expensive.
I was totally immersed , thank you
Thanks for watching! 😀
In many of these old houses, there's a lighter strip along the top foot or so of the wall. It doesn't look like missing crown molding or wallpaper border; rather that the ceiling paint extended down the top 12" or so of the wall.
Does anyone know anything about this? Was this common in early 1900s houses?
Style perhaps?
Our house has that and there is a wooden strip a few inches down from the ceiling. The strip was used to hang picture wire from so that pictures could be hung without damaging the plaster with nails. I don't know why some places still had that without the actual trim there. Perhaps they couldn't afford the extra trim but painting or papering like that still looked like a house that could?
Fascinating. It's true that many styles come from imitating something else. Wallpaper, for instance, was invented to imitate the silk that rich people hung on their walls.
In a few movies/TV set in the early 1900s, I see the ceiling paint go down the wall like this and I love it, but I can find almost nothing written about it. Thanks for this.
@tanyaredfield
Enjoyed it🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Dave!! 😀
Great video ❤ thanks
No problem 😌
Yesterday I was admiring a big old wooden house in North Western Alberta and was wondering who built it and who lived in it and this channel pops up🤔
Well send me the gps and I’ll figure it out 😀💪
@@secondaryhighway maps.app.goo.gl/PtpfEmUf8h4bP5uh7?g_st=ac
Beautiful .
🙏
I really admire the early settlers, not really knowing what lay ahead of them very brave people. I live in England and find these derelict homes fascinating. So much history, and the babies graves very emotional, just thinking about the loss of 2 young children layed to rest in their garden. 🎉🎉
I agree and thanks for watching. More to come!
Interesting video love history.
Thanks for watching
Hurts my feelings! They all gone! Empty home!
The family still visits frequently.
makes me want to get the snow shovel and scoop it up and put it out side. How close is the nearest neighbor's house?
Back then not sure, but now only a couple miles.
Unique wayof presentation with out horrible music or extra description 🎊 🎉. Sad to see the loss and abandonment, but changes are the rule of nature
Thanks. Keep it raw and stick to the facts.
Weird to see a place we snuck into early on when I was just getting into urbex. Grew up really close to this place. Glad to see the house is still standing.
A lot of great family memories here.
@@secondaryhighway Going to be honest. I only made it halfway down those cellar stairs when I went. Big horror movie vibes, lol.
Seeing the old washing machine In pretty good shape was interesting.
Probably still works.
That Irving Posluns vintage jacket is $$$$
Which one is that. On the hanger?
It looks like a really good place to go metal detecting for old coins😊
I’ve always thought about doing that.
Hi I am first time your video my favorite history so happy thank you ❤ tamilnadu
Thanks for joining! 😀
Orion was the first ghost town I have seen . Wonder if anything is still standing?
Yes it’s still there. I should do a video on it. 😀
@@secondaryhighway awesome! I can't wait :)
The wall paper was really pretty.
I agree
Really liked the size of the house, and the stairs, upstairs hallway.. my mama use to have a ole wringer type washer.. so nice they used to iron for the gravemarkers instead of stone or wood, it'll last forever not rot..sad story bout the little boy getting shot.. thank u for sharing their story and photos 😊
My grandma used a wringer washer into the 1980s even after they went out and bought her a new washer and dryer, she still used her ringer and hung her stuff on the line LoL
Thanks for watching Lisa! 😀
Great videos. I wish there was a channel like yours that is local for me down here in the US, but all of the ones I've found are teenagers who are loud and obnoxious and disturb EVERYTHING.
Well I have a solution. If you can provide me with some locations and permissions I’ll head down! That’s promise! 😀💪
Interesting that the grave markers aren’t where the bodies are actually buried.
I’m not entirely sure they knew exactly where they were, but over time the depression occurs where the coffins collapse and that was where they figured them out to be.
there is so much more to say about this video .i wonder how the haydays would be in this house .when did somebody step on to those stairs where u touched your feet again .walls are whispering the stories of every person who lived in this beautiful house .what was the goal of their residents ,and where they ve been gone , what they ve been thru in their life .how simple life they lived , no internet ,no mobile .
God has every persons history but we dont have . we can just imagine it and assume something what our mind portraits 'good or bad .
woow . i love to be in the past to see how the life passes their time .🎉
I agree with everything that you said!
@secondaryhighway
u better mention the place as well ,where its located .that makes viewers imagination more vibrant and colorful.
and i wish u speak those words which u mentioned in your videos on bottom side .that makes it more interesting .and keep caption ON to let it write everything what u said .
Wonder why so much dirt in the floors? Used to store something in the end?
The cows got in last year. That’s cow poo.
I love watching these videos, much love from ohio. And i probably definitely would of saved the wringer washer. Haha
Hi from Calgary! 😀
@secondaryhighway hello!! I'm not sure where that is lol
@secondaryhighway I subscribed because you're videos are awesome!!!
How do people leave clothes when leaving?
Good question.
I wished you had a flashlight to shine around the basement.
Ug I know. I forgot to bring it from my jeep!!
Compared with time, each of us is too small.
Everything you have worked hard and carefully built will disappear with you, and eventually disappear.
They’re long gone. The house is still there…for now.
Very nice
Big thanks for watching!
The Washing Machine is from no later than early 1950's. . That was one large house.
Massive!
That old washing machine probably still works lol.
lol I bet it does!
Olá! Eu gosto dos seus vídeos, pq vc não fala nada e as legendas nos contam a história do lugar! Denise, Brazil
Hello Brazil!
Wont a same it would have been a great old house in the days mate its wound cost a arm and leg to do up these days mate the old houses are like old cars they got a great look about them mate
Grand home. Lots of history. I’m happy it has been documented! 😀
The story of their son being shot because his brother tripped happened to me and my friend out hunting,she tripped on high grass and as she was getting up grabbed the rifle by the top of the barrel grass must have pulled the trigger and the bullet went through her finger and hit the tree next to me not 2 inches away from my head…she was fine but police showed up at the hospital and wanted to know what we were doing,because we didn’t have hunting licenses told him we were targeted practicing in the back yard,in a residential neighborhood..lol
Of course he didn’t believe but couldn’t do anything about it..
We we’re hunting wild pig in Chalmette La,a few weeks later my friends husband went back and got a huge pig,one time shot a dear with a arrow and got two heads at once,a 12 point and a 10 point had gotten stuck together and one hoofed the others head off after it died..
Omg. A lot of kids were killed by guns and surprisingly lightning. ⚡️
In 1907 the average carpenter made $200 to $400 dollars per year in America ! People don't realize how good we have it now days ! 🤔
Wow I didn’t know that!
$200 back then is equivalent to about $6,700 today. Not a lot.
You almost hear the sound of children olaying
💯
So where are the lost letters?
A play on words considering the building was the first post office in the area. Loss of memories, people, life and now the slow loss of this building. Post offices typically lose letters. I’m no Shakespeare but I tried. 🤷♂️
@@secondaryhighway Oh, OK. Sounds good and yes, it's a good play on words. BTW, I love your channel.
silence is golden
True. Nobody needs to hear me lol. 😆
why do you feel a need to touch everything?
Why do you feel a need to comment on it?
I can’t help it lol.
Removing a marker of an actual grave?
They didn’t know exactly where they were buried until years after the markets were placed.
The days before mortgage and hoa ...that was how.....hats off yours is yours....not now there sharks everywhere wanting to take everything
💯
14:05 No wire hangers!
Not sure what you mean. 😆
❤❤
That was very cool
Hey thanks! 🙏
Everything has sad end
Everything gets old, and everyone.
❤
Sad they didn't take care of it
They did the best they could but the cost to upkeep these old places can be much too costly. The plan was to build a new house on the land but their grandson bought their house in town.
