This story is kinda like riding a rollercoaster Lol You always have such beautiful pictures of nature
Dang it, man.... You're getting real good at this.
JD I love your storytelling voice ❤
Thank you so much!@@Urhmmmm
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller your welcome 🤗
When I was a lil boy I used to run downstairs at my Granny's to watch cartoons...now that I'm an old man I run out on Saturday morning to listen to your story...keep it up brother
Man I appreciate that!
Your last two stories here on your channel provides hope in these harsh days in this wicked world for me. Thanks
Hi. You contacted my Cousin Greg Davis for details on this story and I really appreciate it. We grew up hearing this story and every time going to the graveyard growing up we would be reminded of what happened. Greg played this video at a family gathering tonight and brought back a bunch of memories in our family. Thank you so much.
Thank you! Yes Greg asked me if I would write a story on this tragedy, it was a hard story to tell without being brutally honest about the violence that happened, yet I did my best to pay honor to the entire Snodderly family and their memory in this story- so it wouldn’t be forgotten
We all truly appreciate your wonderfully done story telling and really enjoyed playing this video for all of the old timers. The best part about playing this was all the stories that got added onto this of what happened from that point to present in the Hinds Creek Valley. So many precious stories to be told. Thank you for your amazing work!
This event was spoken about during my whole life. The Henry Snodderly Family is my Father’s great great grandparents. It was a tragic event!
I used to be on Xanax and everything else, just to sleep....
But with you my friend I am eased into sleep every night thanks to
The second your voice starts I relax ❤❤
How bout that!
I positively cannot believe that sheriff! Going after poor Sam, based entirely on a hunch, and not a shred of evidence. I mean, he might as well just have added insult to injury; arrested young Rena, and slapped her with a 'breaking and entering' charge, for forcing her way into her uncle’s cabin for warmth and safety. Absolutely unbelievable!
Agreed!
This must've been what it was like to sit around the radio in the 30s and 40s listening to what my Mom and grandma used to call stories. My grandma would watch all my children every day and she would say "now be quiet my story's comin on.😊
❤️
How horrible but what goes around comes around.Great story teller.
well said!
Oh boy JD you did it again. I was spellbound so hoping the girl wouldn’t die in that rushing creek, I’m glad she made it. The way you tell stories is so mesmerizing, I always feel like it’s a movie playing in my mind. The pictures also help tie them all together for me. I appreciate your research into all the stories you tell ! No matter how gruesome they are. You are one of the best storytellers I’ve ever heard. Thank you Wishing you well!
Thank you Karen! I try to tell a mix of stories, to keep folks on their toes... one story tugging at your heartstrings, next one has you running for your life!
Oh Karen, at that point in the story I thought I was going to have anxiety attack! Thank goodness she made it through that horrible night!
I was spell bound listening to this. Gifted story telling
Wow, You Surely Can Tell an Awesome Story.
I was so caught up in it, near the
end I was eating an apple, at a
particularly exciting part,
I involuntarily drew in a deep breath.
I had to pause and cough for a moment as a very small piece of apple 🍎 was a problem.
I had to laugh 😂 at myself.
I've learned not to eat or drink while enthralled in a dramatic story, of Your Telling.
Now I feel compelled to listen again.
Be careful Victoria!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller
Thank You, I will.
Being a West Virginia resident I'm interested in all things to do with Appalachia and I find these stories captivating. Thank you.
Thanks so much, have a great day my friend!
Justice was served!.....Nowandays..the tax payer would be paying for them to live another 20 years! Goodin J.D.!
You got that right!
I always envision your stories in black and white. ⚪️⚫️. Another wonderful story, JD. You out did yoursel, until the next one, ha, ha
Thanks so much!
Amazing story as always JD. Me and my cup of coffee sat spell bound and imagining in my mind what what happening as you spoke.
Thanks Tom! Hope you have a great Saturday!
Another piece of history told by you, JD. And what a story. They were cowards, and justice was served. What gets me is the sheriff at first thinking it was poor Sam that did it. At least the Snodderlys went to be with the Lord together. But what senseless murders. Just because a couple of drunks listening to a rumor. I felt so bad for the young folks trying to get to safe shelter. Sad story, but a good ending. Thanks JD👍. I sure enjoyed this one.
Thank you Denise!
Those two pissed me off! I absolutely love these stories ❤
They got what they deserved! Thanks for watching and commenting my friend!
Sorry about the ugly word....I get so into these stories
Going to set this up For Mom's Tab!!She'd Sure enough have Some Tale's of A Family been here since 1600's.
❤️
Another story that has been delivered in such a manner that the next can’t be delivered soon enough!
❤️ ❤️
I can't think of a better way to start a Saturday morning than listening to one of your stories, JD, and this ones a dandy, friend! Enjoy your weekend and I'll see ya next time.
Thanks Scott, this story sure is a doozy
Saturday morning Justice is a great way to start the weekend. Thankyou again!!
yes sir! Y'all stay safe out there!
JD you are truly the Appalachian Storyteller. thank you for putting these stories together, i know it is a lot of work, you do a great job,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Thanks so much OlSkool! I appreciate folks like you support the cause!
Your voice and Appalachian accent are just what I need when things get heavy on my mind. I have intentionally taken my blood pressure before and after listening to one of your stories, and it never fails that my blood pressure drops considerably after the story. I told my doctor that she needs to prescribe your channel to all of her patients, especially the ones with high blood pressure. Thanks for all you do.
well, how bout that! I do have a doctorate degree... (in music)... apparently its good in the medical field!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller it settles my head and lowers my blood pressure, so it's the right prescription.
I got all riled up this afternoon and determined that I needed to take my mind off the issue. Well, of course, the cure was to listen to one of JD's stories. It worked wonderfully!!
Dang JD, hit another out of the park 😉🥰🤩
Thank you!
Sad story, but glad justice was served. And please don't stop telling these stories, your voice just fits all these great stories you tell.
Thank you so much Judy!
I have commented a dozen times but you are the best storyteller i have ever heard....
Brother, I really appreciate that, and your comments. It really helps me keep telling these old stories. Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas! Thanks for your support!
I felt like I was right there watching it all. Well done 😊
alright, that's my intention to put the listener right there in the story!
This is a wild west tale for sure, even though it happened in the south.. great story and glad 😊 justice came.Thank u for sharing..
A true story almost lost to time

Thanks so much!
Man JD brother another great story hope all is well and again I hope your Christmas is the best one yet brother thanks from all of us here for the story's I'd rather watch your channel than any TV show or movie the simpler things in life are almost forgotten and you bring back so many memories of that time I'm 42 and grew up at the last part of it but man I'd give anything to have some of those people back in my life that made that impact of the way life should be.....
Thanks so much for that, Merry Christmas to you and your family too my friend!

Thank you so much!
Thank you for this story about the true event of the first and last hanging in Union County, Tennessee.
Thanks Sandra!
❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you😊
Thank you Sadie!
Great story as usual. Thank you so much! 😊
Thank you Linda!
I wish our justice system was as quick as it was then 🪦 I’m glad the children made it out ok. 💖👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Amen
Sir , you are one of the best story tellers I have ever heard. Much love from Alabama
Thanks so much Joel! Glad to have you here!
The murder of lille Messer by her husband Melvin happened in January 1926 in haywood County north Carolina. There are tons of info available online including the casetext from melvins appeal. It was a huge story at the time and id love to hear your take. Melvin and Lillie were my great grandparents and my mother was a week old the day of the murder. Many think melvin was innocent and the family split over the disagreement.
I will look into this, thanks for the idea!
My grandmothers grandparents. I grew up hearing this story.
❤️
It is A Shame That We NO LONGER Have, Save Only A Few, Shameless, GOD FEARING, Selfless, Compassionate, Stand-Up, Blameless, Meek, Greatful, And HUMBLE Men Who Were Born With A HEART Of GOLD..............
Henry Was "Considered" The Richest Man In Union County Tennessee, Yet He Did NOT Live Like A RICH Man. He SHARED What He Had And Always Had An Open Door To ANYONE In NEED OF ANYTHING! GOD Blessed Him With Wealth, YET, He Shared Everything He Had, NEVER TURNING ANYONE AWAY. That Gentleman Was NOT Merely A Man, But..........
"AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE"............ Thank You SO MUCH For Sharing This Video! I love this Story!!! I Am A Major History Freak, So I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE
These Stories!!! Thank You. GOD Bless You And Your Family!
🙏😇👼
Thank you !
I live 700 feet from the location of the hanging and we can feel the spirits of these men to this day. Great story telling, keep it up.
wow !!
At night we can hear old time radio noise, mostly old Appalachian songs very faint in the background.
Another great one I like the swift justice.
Thanks David!
What a great story from the Great Smoky Mtns. Thanks JD for sharing another true story from our past, I sometimes wonder what it would have been like to live in the 1800's.
I wonder that all the time too Pinky
You might want to do a story on another relative, Armp Stanley, who was from Union County, too. Quite the character.
If you have info on them- email me at theappalachianstoryteller@gmail.com
Amazing 👍🙃🇨🇦
Thank you!
I love your stories and the way you present them. I’m listening.
Thank you!
You are such an awesome storyteller ❤️

Thank you Vickie!
Wow! Thank you! ❤️
Thank you!
Still binge watching. Been doing it for two days now. 😁
Thanks so much!
Enjoyed this story
Thank you Doris!
That reminds me of the old man off Hee Haw and his wife. Brutally murdered for money that the killers never found. He was known to carry and keep a lot of cash and later on it was found stashed in the front inside ledge of the fireplace.
Wow, I didn’t know that story
He wore those dam bib overalls. Sad story did not deserve what they did to him. Stringbean.
really is a sad story@@bradr2142
Yes...His stage name was Stringbean because he was very tall and skinny. His actual name was David AKeman. I heard his nephew killed him but not sure that is true.
JD Phillips did it again!
Preciate you brother!
Justice prevailed that day, and they got what they deserved. Another great story! Thanks, JD!
Thank you Charlie
Great story !!!
Thank you Melissa!
W😳W JD! THAT was the finest stroytelling I've ever heard. I wish Johnny Cash were alive to hear because he was a music storyteller & would've loved this🎶 TY😊JD
Thank you!
Quite a story, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
Too bad we can’t have this kind of justice still today, but too many activists crying it’s inhumane. What about the poor innocent victims and their lost lives? Great storytelling. Being a history fanatic I love hearing all these stories of the past and You do a wonderful job!
👍🏼
I look forward to these great stories ❤
Glad you like them! Have a great day my friend
Amazing job jd
Thanks so much!
My family too. A distant cousin and good friend has a piece of furniture from the Snodderly house.
is that right? wow
I had goosebumps as I heard the story unfold.
Thank you Nancy!
Wow… I grew up on Hinds Creek Road and never even knew about this!
