This was a time when people actually help each other and didn’t talk about each other, they showed love and understanding and helped each other, not today’s world, if you have anyone that actually cares about you, it is a gift from heaven.
I was born and raised in Clay County KY. My Dad and his family was from Floyd County. My Dad worked in the coal mines his whole life . My Mamaw's house was at Drift in Floyd County and back in the 90s we raised a big garden with her. One day after working hard picking green beans my Mother, my niece and me decided to take a break and travel to Butcher Holler in Johnson County to see Loretta's homeplace. Herman Webb saw us as we were driving past his store and he followed us up to the homeplace. He was very handsome and so polite and so gracious. Herman took us inside the little house and we had such a wonderful visit with him. When it was time to go we all went outside to get in our car and I'll be darned if we didn't have a flat tire. Herman changed that flat tire for us that day. I will never forget Herman Webb and his kindness. I know that Herman, Loretta,Clara,Ted and the rest of the family who have passed are in heaven and I bet they are all singing together once again.
I never got the chance to meet him but I met his daughter. Me and Clyde ran into her a few hours after we left and she talked to us nearly 2 hours. such a sweet woman.
my grandma lived in drift her whole life dorothy hamilton I used to beg to go to Loretta childhood home all the time when we would visit that had to be really awesome
I'm from Harlan County myself, this episode brings back so many memories of home. Hits me right in the heart. You can take the hill folk out of the hills, but you can't take the hills out of the heart.
Like so many other families that were living this very same lifestyle in Kentucky and West Virginia the mountains and the people are special. They lived a hard life but they were good people who helped one another and shared what they had with each other. This is humble beginnings that you will never forget. Not everyone got to become famous but the ones who did were still humble in their entire lives because they never forgot where they came from. I’m from these humble people who still love their mountain life and are thankful to have been a part of it. This home was a reflection of many people who are fortunate enough to have lived in this type of beginnings. ❤❤❤
Grew up in WV. Custer Holler, Lost creek, WV. Lived by struggles. welfare, our water source was a tiny creek running alongside the 118yr old house we lived in. washing clothes, wash board and then one day dad came home with an old 1940s washer with a ringer on the top. we were dirt poor, and rode our horses, walked 1/4 mile just to catch a school bus and bought second- hand clothes with a welfare voucher. kids always were mean to me, and my siblings cause of looks and clothes. I now own a home in WV and will retire there soon. God bless Loretta Lynn for your music contributions. Mom was from Paducah!
I Loved Loretta, she was a very special Lady, One of a kind. Loretta and her Family sitting Listening to the Radio was really amazing. I know they didn't ,Have televisions back then, but it's something that they did as a Family, and they enjoyed it. I've always wanted to meet Loretta, but couldn't due to my health. I wish that I could get a signed autograph Picture of Loretta Lynn, it would mean so much to me. I Love you Loretta. R I P. Jean
There was NO one better than Lorreta Lynn one of a kind ... She loved her fan's ... I often wanted to see her at Renfro Valley Ky. But I waited too late ... May you always be remembered.  ❤🎼🎶🎻📀🙏🏻

I love it that everyone gathered together to listen to the radio it's so fantastic if people were like that now eef have a lot more love and unity in this big world 🌎 thank you for these precious memories shared
Hello👋how are you doing and how is the weather conditions there, I see you're country music lover fan of Alan Jackson that's lovely I hope you are staying safe and okay..I'm sorry to bother you, but if you find this message embarrassing pardon my manners..God bless you may your heart desires come through I hope to hear from you.
I'm a coal miner's daughter, got married super young,only 2 yrs older than Jack Benny .Had 6 kids and am a singer.My dad worked in the coal mines in West Virginia.
Moved to Kentucky from Indiana. I always say there's something in the Ohio River because here in KY people friendly, kind, humble & use five fingers when they wave, on the other side they only use one..lol. I love it here and pray I never have to leave Kentucky 💙💙
I love that the queen went home the lady of country I truly miss her but the band in the sky got better I loved her so much I'm listening to her music right now someday we all be back together again
@@jimchumley7907 what is the band In The Sky it means Jesus Christ you know he's got that best band in the sky thank you have a good day take care stay safe and don't forget to have fun
I lived in Floyd co KY and coal miner daughter and Loretta Lynn was and still is one of my fav singer of all to the Queen you'll still live in my heart love ya Loretta Lynn R.I.H
I grew playing in the #5 mine every one use to get their water out of a pipe that stuck out of the hill past the drift mouth. Everyone had city water but the water ran out of a limestone seam and it was ice cold even in the hottest days of summer. We played all over it and shade ward hollow and butcher to. My mother went to school in that 1 room school house. The main road brings you out in three different places in Johnson county and is a scenic drive. Herman and patsy were outstanding people and were well loved. I went and visited every chance I got time to. Thank you for giving other folks a glimpse of our community.
Always loved Loretta. Even when I was growing up and listening to her music I become a big fan. I'm ashamed to say that throughout the years I always wanted to go to one of her concerts but for one reason or another I never made it. And that is truly my loss. She was a country lady.

This whatever comment this person made was so uncalled for. May God bless you brother for doing your best better than I could do 🙏 . Should be a time of remembering a country singers legacy and paying respect. May God bless you all he's all we can truly depend on again God bless you . Ricky & Karen 🙏.
I was raised at the tip of Appalachia in north Mississippi. My alcoholic father kicked me out when I was 15 & I ended up getting a job on a large farm. Part of the deal was I could move into one of the many old houses that were there. It was a former plantation & those buildings were old slave quarters that had naked electric wiring with no conduit put in them. No running water or any kind of plumbing. I worked sun up until sundown driving a tractor. I had a heater that froze me to death in the winter. I had to hitchhike on my days off to town to former schoolmates homes where I could shower if their parents okayed it. No gov benefits to pay any bills because I was underage. Child labor laws in Mississippi? LOL It was one of the roughest parts of my life but I learned a lot about dedication and a good work ethic. I was living in history at the moment with newspaper still on the walls from being used as insulation but I was young and was unable to appreciate it. The tin roof would lull you to sleep when it was raining. And when it stormed any conversation couldn't be heard. I miss that so much that I'm an old man now. But it sure was tough while it was going on.
So nice :) I was there with my BFF in July 2015 n Herman webb gave us the tour we were the only ones there and we got caught in a huge storm there. We were in the kitchen with that ol fan runnin n the boom box and a big ol crack of lightning n thunder n the power went out. It went black n creepy for sure. We had the best time sittin in the front room with Herman tellin stories during the rainstorm.. ♡
Hello👋how are you doing and how is the weather conditions there, I see you're country music lover fan of Alan Jackson that's lovely I hope you are staying safe and okay..I'm sorry to bother you, but if you find this message embarrassing pardon my manners..God bless you may your heart desires come through I hope to hear from you.
They were a close family, and they loved each other. There family was built on Love 😘💞, you don't see that kind of family love anymore. I don't believe there were any black people around them, because you have never heard Loretta Lynn talk about any black people,so they must have been so far in the mountains where black people didn't go are didn't even know about mountain people.
Amazing video, Rick! Thank you so much for sharing. My brother lives in Austin, KY and the next time I’m there, I definitely plan to visit Loretta’s family homestead in Van Lear.
Really interesting video...I enjoyed it immensely. I live in New Jersey and most likely will never make it down there,but your video made it feel like I was there! Thanks for posting it. R.I.P. Loretta ❤🙏
My Mamaw was from Paintsville, and my Poppy was from Floyd County, Johnson, KY., My Mamaw's father worked in the Van Lear coal mine at the same time that Loretta's father did. After doing a DNA test, I found out that I am related to her.
The mine my papaw last worked in was turned into a museum. Mine 18 McCreary county Kentucky. That's when they came to Indiana with my mamaw and 3 kids. This was the 50's. My mamaw is still with us at 103 years.
Well my mamaw Amy Hammonds Gallagher died at 92 years old in 1997 and she used to babysit Loretta when Loretta was a little baby for Ms Webb. mamaw lived in the holler near the Webb family and later they moved to Inez Kentucky and then they moved to West Virginia where Papaw continued in the coal mines... they had 15 children one of them my daddy, buddy Gallagher. It was either a coal mining moonshining or movin on Down the Line ❤
ATTENTION: Those that are wondering why I didn't Record the whole tour... basically the Last time someone made a video there they tried to make the people of that area look dumb. But luckily for me I got to because they knew my attentions was the exact opposite. They asked me not to record everything because if people watched the whole tour they wouldn't be interested in visiting. They also didn't want me to have the camera in their face the whole time. But Since they allowed me to video I respected their request to not video everything and to keep them out of the video much as possible. if you want to see the whole tour well...we'll.... GO VISIT. I recommend it. So much better than my video and you get to actually talk yo Lorettas neace and nephew and ask them all kinds of questions.
Understand. I live in another southern state and some tried to make us look dumb with a lot of negativity. You guys handled it respectfully. My grandparents were dirt poor, too, but many people in the south were poor in the early 1900’s.
My grandmother went to a similar 1 room school house in a small community (called Cedar Hill) between Sonora TX and Junction TX. Back in the 1920’s And Lorettas niece, sounds just like Loretta Lynn talking. Almost to a T
Im glad she let you film, She was nice to let you film, Loretta Lynn was one of my favorite singers alongside with pasty cline. Again sorry for the misunderstanding.
I have answered this already multiple times.. but I understand if you haven't seen it. So basically she didn't want me to be in her face with the camera and neither did Lorettas nephew. I know I didn't explain that in the video like I should but I also didn't want to the video to have bunch of words explaining everything. But everything I done in the video is totally fine with them. I actually got to sit with her for 2 hours after the tour closed and talk to her. Lovely people.
@@rickykaren oh yea I didn't see that my bad, and that's very cool you not only got to visit there but also go to talk to them personally. Forgive me for what I said I had no idea was just going by what I saw in the video so I do apologize. I'll re edit my comment. Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving. And again I do apologize.
My grandad on my mom side Nimrod Workman and my aunt Phyllis played in the movie Coal Miners daughter. My granddad sung at funeral amazing Grace, and my aunt played Lorettas mom in the movie.
Love Loretta and the movie ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’ and love this video but it’s a shame how dirty, dungy and unkept the house and store are! I was shocked! I wish there was some way the family/friends or community can raise the funds to make it look nice. I’d be willing to donate…xo
I visited that place years ago. I was appalled with the shape it was in. The store as the video calls it was the company store. There were a few old costumes there. Coal trucks still flying back and forth on the road. A shame she wouldn’t put money back in her area like Dolly Parton did. Look at the jobs that would have brought to the area. I met Herman years ago.
Adjusted for inflation, the $328 that was stolen from the store would be $9,145 in 2022 dollars. That had to hurt bad. I wonder if they had insurance for things like that back then? The article said they arrested 2 men. I hope they were able to recover all that money.
My grandfather (mom’s dad Nimrod Workman) played in Coal miners daughter. He sung Amazing Grace at funeral in the home. My aunt ( mom’s baby sis) Phyllis Workman Bowen’s played Loretta’s mom in the movie Coal miners daughter.
Lord , I reckon it was like 1985 or 1986 was last there a Webb told me all there was to know about Loretta and growing up there I live in Tucson Az now from Columbus Ohio but I am a Salyer and have 2nd and 3rd cousins in Salyersville Kentucky not to fur from you all My grandpa was Akle and my grandpa was Ethel Montgomery Im just an ole hillbilly myself
My grandfather was a coal miner in eastern KY lost a leg in the mine. Since he couldn’t work in the mines anymore he went west with a wife and 6 kids to CA. When she mentioned the last name of Blair my ears perked up I have numberious Blairs in my ancestry. Its sad that that dress is so dirty in the store. But it would probably fall apart if cleaned with its age.

This was so cool to watch. I want to go here some day. That song “Cowgirls Don’t Cry” and the drone footage, just beautiful.
I saw that coal miner's daughter movie too. I also saw Loretta Lynn and her USO band played in Diego Garcia before, the year 1986.
Very nice place. N views.
I love this!
Loved Your Mom We miss you Absent the body present with the Lord
Saw the tribute last night it was outstanding then followed by the movie c.m. daughter.
Love that movie
I knew Herman. Good guy. His daughters were operating the store
They were a close family, and they loved each other. There family was built on Love 😘💞, you don't see that kind of family love anymore. I don't believe there were any black people around them, because you have never heard Loretta Lynn talk about any black people,so they must have been so far in the mountains where black people didn't go are didn't even know about mountain people.
She did sound exactly like Loretta. Loved the video Rick. Thank you for sharing. ☺️
Yes, she's so friendly I actually got to talk to her almost an hour after they closed
Nice view it just like her in the philippines..

Understand. I live in another southern state and some tried to make us look dumb with a lot of negativity. You guys handled it respectfully. My grandparents were dirt poor, too, but many people in the south were poor in the early 1900’s.
you made a good vidéo, and love your accent, goodby
The mine was killer definitely gotta go back with a spot light
Oh yeahh😎
She sounds just like her aunt Loretta😢
Loretta'a song "That's Where I Learned To Pray" talks about the school & the church house being the same building 🥰🥰
Thanks I liked your video and hope I get to visit someday
Thank you
My grandmother went to a similar 1 room school house in a small community (called Cedar Hill) between Sonora TX and Junction TX. Back in the 1920’s
And Lorettas niece, sounds just like Loretta Lynn talking. Almost to a T
Im glad she let you film, She was nice to let you film, Loretta Lynn was one of my favorite singers alongside with pasty cline. Again sorry for the misunderstanding.
I have answered this already multiple times.. but I understand if you haven't seen it. So basically she didn't want me to be in her face with the camera and neither did Lorettas nephew. I know I didn't explain that in the video like I should but I also didn't want to the video to have bunch of words explaining everything. But everything I done in the video is totally fine with them. I actually got to sit with her for 2 hours after the tour closed and talk to her. Lovely people.
@@rickykaren oh yea I didn't see that my bad, and that's very cool you not only got to visit there but also go to talk to them personally. Forgive me for what I said I had no idea was just going by what I saw in the video so I do apologize. I'll re edit my comment. Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving. And again I do apologize.
@@rickykaren I honestly feel bad now😔 I wrongly accused you I'm so sorry.
Thanks guys. Interesting!
My grandad on my mom side Nimrod Workman and my aunt Phyllis played in the movie Coal Miners daughter. My granddad sung at funeral amazing Grace, and my aunt played Lorettas mom in the movie.
Love Loretta and the movie ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’ and love this video but it’s a shame how dirty, dungy and unkept the house and store are! I was shocked! I wish there was some way the family/friends or community can raise the funds to make it look nice. I’d be willing to donate…xo
I visited that place years ago. I was appalled with the shape it was in. The store as the video calls it was the company store. There were a few old costumes there. Coal trucks still flying back and forth on the road. A shame she wouldn’t put money back in her area like Dolly Parton did. Look at the jobs that would have brought to the area. I met Herman years ago.
Great video! Thanks
Adjusted for inflation, the $328 that was stolen from the store would be $9,145 in 2022 dollars. That had to hurt bad. I wonder if they had insurance for things like that back then? The article said they arrested 2 men. I hope they were able to recover all that money.
My grandfather (mom’s dad Nimrod Workman) played in Coal miners daughter. He sung Amazing Grace at funeral in the home. My aunt ( mom’s baby sis) Phyllis Workman Bowen’s played Loretta’s mom in the movie Coal miners daughter.
I have the same kind of guitar that belonged to my grandfather. It's a Regal. Anyone know the date of that guitar? I'm thinking 50's??
I always ways love her
Ty so much for sharing this us all
It great video TC and gb you
Ps. my gg grandpa was coal miller he died from black lung like daddy
Most of my family was coal miners.
Lord , I reckon it was like 1985 or 1986 was last there a Webb told me all there was to know about Loretta and growing up there I live in Tucson Az now from Columbus Ohio but I am a Salyer and have 2nd and 3rd cousins in Salyersville Kentucky not to fur from you all My grandpa was Akle and my grandpa was Ethel Montgomery Im just an ole hillbilly myself
She's gone home now..
you're doing great man, keep it up!
Thanks you. I Still have a lot to learn on editing and getting good footage
@@rickykaren I loved the drone footage at the beginning and I thought you did very well with it! Hard work gets noticed, you’re doing awesome
We also have Ramey and Webb's
Who hoo! Whopty do! BFD!
loretta lynn is one of my uncles 1st cousin loreta mom and my uncles mom used to write back and forth back in the day
My grandfather was a coal miner in eastern KY lost a leg in the mine. Since he couldn’t work in the mines anymore he went west with a wife and 6 kids to CA. When she mentioned the last name of Blair my ears perked up I have numberious Blairs in my ancestry. Its sad that that dress is so dirty in the store. But it would probably fall apart if cleaned with its age.
Love the video
THANK YOU
