    Seder, well that was a survivor. Lord have mercy. I’ve never heard of someone living through so much, let alone an old man like that. His life is one to be emulated . To be such a good man like that is my dream. Selfless and kind, full of generosity. God bless all folk like him.

      @@TheAppalachianStoryteller Ever wonder what goes wrong in a person to make them so evil?. Mr. Seder sure had a will to live. That would be hard to survive for anyone especially a 79 yr. old. Poor old man begged for his life.

    Hello, JD, and thank you for another rivetting tale. It's hard to comprehend how a 79 man could survive so much torture and pain; what determination to live he surely had.

I tell ya one thing it sure has changed over the years. Thanks for the stories, man. All these names are the same surnames of folks I grew up with and related to. It's wild to think that, more than likely, some of those hometown folks with the same last names are in some way related and when you really think about it. It wasn't that long ago.

    Wow... a modern-day Job (relatively speaking). The devil put him through hell, but the Lord made sure he had justice, in the end. Thx, JD! ~Bama

    And the streets were far safer back then, too. I grew up in South Carolina in the late 60's and early 70's. We lived in an old, turn of the century farmhouse without a/c. We left the doors and windows open at night for the cool air to circulate. No one ever harmed us! You couldn't pay me to do that again. My doors stay locked 24/7 now.

    That poor fella truly did go through hell. Bless his soul. I've lived in Huntington wv my entire life and never heard of this before. You did an amazing job! I can vouch for Wayne County being remote. Every one refers to it as "out Wayne."

    I knew a WW1 vet who'd survived 2 gas attacks. He had some lung damage. But his foot never fully healed. He was 80 when I met him. The area where the gad hit his exposed foot just blistered and peeled fir all those years. His boot had split.
