Very cool. 👍🏼

Oh to have a time machine.... Another good video!!

My 5th great grandfather was Michael Moore who is mentioned in the Elijah Perkins Diary. Your family and mine lived very close together both in Washington Co.,Pa. and Belmont Co.,Ohio. I have had a copy of Elijah Perkins Diary attached to the Michael Moore ancestry page for several years. I am glad I found your You Tube channel.Very interesting. Bev McClure Bloomington,In.

Good stuff!! I wonder if the word "services" wasn't just attached to it because it was held in a church. Therefore, the funeral was combined with a church "service". Idk. All the articles were very interesting! Speaking out against high priced funerals and being expected to wear all black and be in mourning for years was against the grain. Thanks for doing this!!

The fact that they were doing these distance matches without Brooks or other good shoes is impressive! Also, if you take requests, I'd love to hear some articles on how people would "decorate" their houses in mourning and the things they would do while in mourning after a loved one passed away. I find that so fascinating. If not, no worries!! I enjoy all your videos!

Love this!! These stories remind me of similar ones told by my mother who grew up in a little Kansas farm town! ❤

😅😅😅😅😅

Very cool. There's a few families that live out in the country in my part of MO that still speak German from when their families migrated here. Its a different dialect, but still very much German.

😂😂😂

Luckily I've been getting some stories from my grandmothers over the last couple years of them growing up in the 30s and 40s here in Missouri. They had it rough but also had a lot of fun at the same time. Thanks for sharing those stories!

Very interesting stuff!!

Wow congratulations the first thing I ever found with a metal detector and probably the last thing cuz I quit using it it was an old one was up in Michigan in the upper peninsula I think on the Ontonagon River at an old Wayside and I washed out Bridge it's been around for a long time from the old days but shut down an old picnic ground first thing I found was a gold ring and this was in Copper Country I thought it was copper I was looking for copper but it was a 24 karat gold ring inscribed with the initials and the year they were married I think it was 1963

Great save for sure.

Goodness I remember everything you talked about.Yes I think all Southern folks called washing worshed. And I remember Grandma had her Tobacco plot up until she passed in 1985.That cash crop paid her property taxes and what few bills she had for the year.I remember all the Flowers you mentioned as well she had them all and I remember zinnias.I don’t know about feeding tobacco to goats though she didn’t have any. I remember her giving lumps of coal to hogs occasionally though.And yes the clothes line never went out of style in our house.I could talk all night long about this. 👍. I grew a couple of Tobacco plants in my garden a few years back just for fun and nostalgia and it did really well. Loving your talks and memories.That lifestyle was so peaceful.

Just came across your channel and enjoyed listening. I am a buckeye from Ohio but both of my parents grew up in eastern Kentucky living the same way. My Mom never was a meat eater either because of the slaughtering. Subscribed and looking forward to listening to your channel.

I made this comment before but it didn't post for some reason. It's such an awesome feeling when you can connect stories to actual history! They definitely would've reused those big logs if at all possible...was a lot of work to hue those things! I've found out-of-place notches and charring marks on old structural logs at my work that didn't make sense at first but we were able to figure it out eventually and basically prove some stories and discredit some others based off the physical evidence. These old cabins/buildings have stories to tell, we just need to pay attention and listen! Also, that razor is so cool!

I was doing some research into the local history of my town and so browsing old archived newspaper articles. One horror feature I discovered was a number of sui-* using the old steaight razors. Horrific . Having said that I gather they gave the best shaves. A school friend of mine took hairdressing back in the earky 70's and had to practice on balloons without poppingbthem.😅

Nice! A great example of the Wade and Butcher razor, a favorite of mine. The handle material was typically horn rather than bone but I don’t mean to nitpick. It’s great to have old family stuff. Thanks for posting this!

Wonder how those stats measure up to today compared to 1890... U.S. consuming x-amount of the world's sugar, steel, etc., quantities. Doubt much has changed in this case too! 😂

Good stuff once again!! Thanks for the video!

So funny. Really shows how humans are humans no matter what century it is. It's just the technology that changes! And morals too, I guess.

I like your videos, and I'm waiting for your next video.

Top video

Interesting stuff once again!

It's so funny all the minor details and even the personal information those articles had in them back then! 😆

That is a big ole Nope Rope!!! LoL

love & have a good day

The news most of us forgot! I love it.

Wow...the bodysnatcher was creepy. It said he was taking them to Columbus but I don't think it mentioned what he was doing with them (unless I missed it). Maybe selling them to medical schools?

I love what you're doing! Glad I found your channel! Always interesting to read what was going on back in the 1800s. Good stuff!

You mentioned Wheeling, VA! On the old Wheeling Coffee building, there is a corner plate still on the building dated 1851 or 1854 that reads Wheeling, VA.
