We'll do. Thanks for address
My grandfather served during WWll and after he passed I got a box that has some odds and ends that belonged to him! There is a ring with initials, a date, and Manila on it that he found while there! It makes you wonder could he have known the person who wrote that letter as we only live a few hours from where you are! If he was still alive he would have been 102 this past year! I was in my young teens when he passed 19 years ago, but the stories I know he could have told about things he seen! As an adult I wish my grandparents were still here as they have all passed away, so I could ask them about things when they were younger and some of the things they have seen and done in their lives!
Do you know the cemetery where the Birds are resting? A trip to that cemetery would be awesome! I would love to see their headstones. And I wonder did that young man survive WWII??
An amazing find, a little more history, and people to add on to the farm. The letters were so heart warming, a kind of sad time due to the war.
Amazing
“Heaven and Earth will pass away, but my Words will never pass away”
Man....I love that!!
Amen sister!
Love it...
Amen!!!
AMEN
Your probably the first person to read that letter since his mother read it and cherished it and probably read it over and over!! Wow, personal history from that grand old house!! 😊👍
Historic writings from our hero’s. The Greatest Generation. God Bless them All!
🙏AMEN❣️🙏
Mervyn Abrahsmson and Henry Brandt, both served in WWII, and Anfred Abrahamson served in WWI. They are my grandpas on dad's side, and great grandpa.
Nicole, have you contacted Robert
@@chuckborghoff8443 nope, but they were from Minnesota.
the Sears envelope is how we got paid. They paid us in cash so we would spend it before we left the store. I worked at sears in the late 60's
Thank you for this comment. It was informative.
I worked for Kmart for a couple yrs after i graduated in the mid 70s They to payed us in cash in an envelope like that. I was so happy to get an actual pay check when i changed jobs.
@@marymcguffin9370 That is so interesting living in the age of debit cards.
In the 70s we were writing checks. Didn't have a debit or charge card.
@@marymcguffin9370 I'd love to go back to the way things were in the 70s.
Robert, you are an amazing young man to have such a caring heart. You take care and thank you for sharing. I hope that you do not mind a Great Grandma that lives in Florida to say I send my love.
And from a 52 year old women from Norway 😊 love your passion for the old things 👍
And from a 62 yr old grandma from Canada that loves you enthusiasm for the Byrd Nest. *)
Wow! Letter writing was such a big part of their lives, and that young soldier cherished every letter and noticed when someone hadn’t written in a week!
As a Marine in Vietnam I can tell you every letter was special. There was an emptiness on days one did not get a letter.
@@geraldpierini9010 Thank you Gerald for your service to this country! USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✌
@@marydineen1669 You're welcome.
I have always heard the bible will stand the test of time and that is a God sent it was meant for you to find it stay safe and God bless
Love how careful you are with these old documents and relics that you find. So many wonderful items are lost forever by mishandling them.
What an Amazing discovery. How the bible and contents are still together is a miracle in itself. May be, your best find ever. You were meant to find this.
I wonder how the Bible wound up where it did? Someone was surely upset when it went missing. The letter writer has probably already passed. If he hasn't it would be epic to find him.
I am wondering the same thing.
Great find. A while back I found a nearly 200 year old family bible in about the same condition or a little worse that had been abandoned. It had the whole family births and deaths up until the 1940's in it. I scanned all of those pages to document them. Was sad to see how it had just been abandoned and forgotten, but I saved it and at least keeping it from totally disappearing.
If you can, add the images and info to Ancestry.com. I know there's many out there hitting brick walls or needing 2nd verification to fill in their family trees
@@ptaylor4923 I had not thought about doing that but that is something I will do...
@@Karl-Hungus Thanks. I'm deep into my family genealogy and I do a few searches every two weeks so much is getting digitized all the time. Label it well, and maybe use some key tag words. I don't just use Ancestry. I search Google Books regularly because it searches everything inside the book and not just books, so I can do a search for "Jennnings, Berkeley County, West Virginia History" and if Jennings is in some book it will find it. I had a 89 year old patient who told me her father was born in a jail. I figured that meant her father was the Sheriff and the family lived in back of, or above the jail. I got the county, did a search for her grandfather's name in that county in Illinois and it came up with state bookkeeping records that showed individual payments made to him for traveling to "bring a criminal for justice. " So I contacted the current sheriff of the county and asked him if he knew of her grandfather and he said yes and sent me info for her and he also mailed me his own Sheriff's hat to give to her. She was thrilled!
@@ptaylor4923 Yesssss!
That was a very special moment. Thanks. My husband was in the Navy, and I know how much letters meant to service men.
Exactly where on the porch did you find the Bible? Amazing that it would have been left outside! Awesome discovery, Robert!
Thank you, Robert, for reading the letters. So perfect!
Love that you found an old Bible in such wonderful shape. The Word of God stands forever.💜🌸
Old letters are the best. We opened an old trunk that belonged to my grandfather and found stacks of letters dating back as far as the 1880’s. The shear volume of family history is staggering. My great grandfather was a United Brethern minister and his Bible along with sermons he wrote in the late 1800’s were in it as well. Love wathching the farm transformation and never miss a Side Step video!
Grandma Langer wrote extensively and mom inherited her letters and postcards, many of which were written in German!
Thank you for taking the time to read these precious and historical writings!
I can imagine 'mom' cherishing and crying over that letter and the young man being away from home and family possibly for the first time. So precious!
Thank you for sharing it, Robert.💜🤗
Robert, and other Robert, and your helpers, I love your reverence and respect.
That was so cool. I love history and all the memories. You reading those two letters made me cry. I have my Dads letters from WWII and l read them from time to time. They give me comfort. Love what you are doing with this house.
Wow ! Such great finds from the past. I Love that you are so delicate with this Bible and the letters from long ago. That says a whole lot about you as an individual. Keep safe and here's to more findings of History.
That’s really amazing that the mice and rats did not chew on it… Great find
That’s an awesome find. I can just imagine how excited the Mother was when she got the letter from her son. I really enjoy your videos.
OMGOODNESS ROBERT!!!🙆♀️
What a fantastic find! Love the letters; like you said just to read a little snippet from a time long ago.
Your labor of love is shining through. Great job! Thanks!
Very awesome find. I really enjoy finding things like that in old houses. It just puts visions of times past that someone was experiencing in your head and what they were feeling at that moment of time.
Oh my gosh. This house has so much history. Thank you for sharing.
Just gives ya chill bumps to make a find like that. Makes me feel that God's pleased with what I'm doing when I run up on a Bible in an unexpected place.
Morning, Thank you for sharing . I pray you will research and locate any family members left and return it. Enjoy your adventures
Wonder if that soldier got back to Georgia or he was one of the US soldiers who died during WW2 here in the Philippines. Keep the videos coming. Watching fr the Philippines.
Wow! The world really is both a small and a huge place.❤😊
I believe Phillipines was officially cnsidered liberated in August of '45. The letter is written in June '45. The writer did say it was pretty quite now.
My Dad was stationed in the Philippines, he died in 2012 at age 91 years.
@@cynthiacarter665 They dropped the A bombs in August.
Well he'd made it through the New Guinea campaign and they were entrenched in Philippines with the atomic bombs being dropped just a few weeks later, so hopefully he made it. But things didn't always work out. My great Uncle Dale fought the entire war and then died of his wounds on Okinawa in May 1945 just days after his 22 birthday. Almost made it home.
I love that you appreciate things like this.
That was amazing!
I found a cache of old letters from my great grandmother once. I still have them❤
That one line in the first letter might have read, I guess you have a pretty "garden" by now.
I know in my great grandmothers letters they spoke of their gardens in every letter in the summertime.
The little card with just a name on it is a calling card. They were left at the door if you "called" on someone and they weren't home.😊
Excellent video, love that history.. A time when a bible was the center of a home, between the pages are often treasured keepsakes.
Amazing! If not for you, this would have surely perished. But thankfully we got to share another part of history at your hands. This one is just more sentimental. Thank you so much for sharing this.
We can look at old buildings, photos, antique furniture, read history books etc, but NOTHING tells you more about history than reading letters from people and their "moments in time"
As you said "Amazing". It never fails to astound me as to your finds (this may be one of the best), but also seeing how you feel about these finds is wonderful. Every morning I can't wait to see what the day's video will bring. Love it!
The Bible is part of the home Robert. The Bible may indeed be its protective soul. Great find! Thanks for sharing your story with us! ✝️❤❤🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Robert, you reverently held and opened that family bible. Well done sir!
The moment the book was seen, in my heart I knew it was "The Word". I felt emotional with the soldier was reaching out to his family. I am currently taking care of a WWll vet, he is 96 yrs old. His stories are "Fascinating"
Dad was a WW2 vet.as well as my uncles.Thank you for taking care of that Vet,not many left now.
I hope that you are recording them on tape or video. We did that with our Aunt back 20 years ago. She also had tales to share. I would recommend that to anyone to do. Even those with Demensia as they remember stories of way back when better than yesterday.
Yes please record his stories. My mom was a WWII get as well as my dad. My mom was a code breaker in San Francisco
@@DramaMustRemainOnTheStage My uncle was a Marine, Coast Guard and Navy. One of the most interesting story is that he shook hands with MacArthur and Roosevelt and a medal of honor for saving his crew from a missile that hit the ship from the Germans.
@@stonemason848 Thanking the veterans of your family for their service to this great country! 🇺🇸
Really loved this! Thank you Robert for sharing this amazing find!
Beautiful find, God speaks to us in quiet times, the true word will never disappear, it was right there waiting for you robert, with little treasures inside. Blessings to you and family.
This was such a wonderful thing Robert. I hope you find a proper conservator for the Bible, what a precious object to find. I hope you can do some research and find out more about the people in the letters too. Were they Byrd's?
Folks wonder how things come to be in such strange places?! Well I can tell you! When I was doing elder care for my father in-law, an ex-Navy officer and Pearl Harbor Survivor in his 80's, he told me one day he wanted me to have all of his military papers and letters. I was told to go to a certain place in the garage of their old house, and take down that portion of the wood pile I would find there. Inside the wood pile were hidden box after box of his papers and WWII letters, as well as pictures and maps. He also told me where he had hidden his WWII side arm and webbed belt, (which was inside a hidden compartment in a tall closet), and to take them as well and give them to my son. I went and found things just as he said. I don't know what would have happened if he hadn't told me?! About that same time, my mother in-law told me where to go and get her jewelry and take it. It had been put inside the base of their hot tub. A space had been specially built that opened by pressing spring loaded tiles. If you didn't know just where to look you never would have seen it. When I think of how many times I used that bathroom and sat on the facility looking at those tiles, never knowing the jewelry hoard behind them, and thinking how we sold the house after they passed, and it could all still be there, I still shudder.
My grandmother was the same way, always squirreling things away. One time back in the early 1980's my husband and I went for a visit. My husband was a lover of old guns and we were talking to her about it. My grandma got up and went into her bathroom, but left the door open. We thought it a bit strange, as we could hear her making a lot of noise and banging about, so we went in to check on her. And entire back wall of closet shelves had been taken out by her, and behind a panel she had removed, she began to take out rifle after rifle, all wrapped in oil cloth. We took them carefully and laid them out on the couch in her living room. Six in all. They dated from the 1800's up to the 1940's. She told the history of each one and who in the family she wanted them to go to. I was floored! I grew up never knowing my grandma even owned a gun, let alone six. If something had happened to her, we would have never known anything about them. Once again, the house has long been sold, and it makes think, what if she'd never said anything?!
would be nice to see if you could track down the families, from the soldiers.
That would be pretty amazing. He could present the Bible and letters to the soldier.
That is an amazing find. Who knows what else you're going to find!
From military overseas in the Pacific have mailing addresses in San Francisco. The military post office for the Pacific Theater is APO SF. I've had APO SF addresses during my military years.
Absolutely an awesome find!!! So glad you are gonna try to preserve the Bible and the letters!!! Thank you Robert for sharing!!! Take care stay safe and God bless you!!!
Guys , that was just fantastic.
Moments in time for sure.
Many thanks for the wonderful video.
When I was aboard the USS Ranger off the coast of Viet Nam all of our letters were post marked FPO San Francisco as we did not have to pay any postage. That find was so neat. Were they related to the Byrd family?
How wonderful to find that so precious.
The Sears envelope and the cards have been used to bookmark a page. Wondering if the page that you found the letters (Psalms) had a significant meaning in verse regarding the two soldiers and it would be interesting to know.
Robert sir thank you for sharing this with me ! Please do what you feel is the right thing to do with letters and Bible ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you maybe doing next ! Doing well here .
Can you imagine how many of these bibles, books, and letters get tossed in the dump by the bulldozers that come in to level the ground for new construction? This is an amazing find.
Robert what an Awesome find.! I Love watching you working on the Old Byrd house. I wish I lived down south where the weather is nicer. I love History!!! You, the other Robert and Cody are AWESOME!!!
That was such an amazing find the bible and the letters, we just glued to watching this video. I hope you can preserve the rest of the bible and the wonderful letters that you found. What a wonderful piece of history you were holding in your hands. We can't wait until you get inside the house and you find some wonderful pieces. Thank your for showing and sharing this piece of history with us.
I hope you will try to find the descendants of the family and give them this wonderful Bible and family mementos!! Always love your videos !!
@@ingeborgm6147 we don’t know if the family was aware of where the Bible was. Someone could have hidden it so a family member couldn’t find it. We never know the situation a family goes through. I have found and even purchased Bibles at local thrift shops with the sole purpose of getting those items back to the owners and have had great success at it as well as family pictures and degrees and such
What a wonderful find. So happy for you. You were ment to has this house. God is definitely smiling down on you.🚙🔍💕🔨 i think the bible should stay on the farm and with Robert. A little extra blessing for Robert, and if it's cleaned up, a nice piece for display when the house when it's finished.
Absolutely love the history!
Being a military veteran had the experience of writing and receiving those letters from boot camp. I hope this soldier returned home and had a happy and prosperous life.
As always I am looking forward to your next video.
Terry from South Carolina
What an amazing find! I hope the Bible can be restored. Thank you so much for reading the letters--almost brought me to tears!
This touched my heart. Thank you.
Great find Robert! I was helping my grandfather once when I was a child we were tearing down an old house for the scrap wood! We found an old Bible in a closet! Rats had chewed everything up in the closet old papers an such! The rats never touched the Bible I've never forgotten that! It was simply amazing and a cherished memory of my childhood with my grandfather! Thanks again Robert!
I’d like to hear about those who lived there...their genealogy & history & pictures . Somebody somewhere must have it
Easy enough to find out. Go the the county extension office and ask to see their older plat books. They show who owned what parcels of land in a County. They still make them. Our County just had their newest one come out a week or two ago. Once you know who owned it, it's just a matter of looking them up in County records. Also, that letter from William, if he's passed on you can write to the national archives for a military & pension records form, fill it out and send it to them and for something like 20 bucks if I remember right, you can get their place of birth, war records, service records and pension records from after the war. I did that with a Great-Great-Grandfather and discovered quite a lot about him. Everything from where and when he joined the army to his height, weight, hair & eye color. Discovered after the war between the states, he divorced his first wife after 11 kids with her because "she wouldn't perform her 'wifely' duties" and re-married to my Great-Great-Grandmother and had 4 children with her! He was born in 1847 and died in 1923 and his last child, My Great Aunt Edna was born in 1903 and died in 2007 at 104. I knew her back then but never thought to ask her about her Dad much.
@@Rebel9668 I’ve done lots and lots of my family, also. Don’t have time to do the Byrds though. Why don’t YOU do it & tell us all about it? ! Seriously...
& as far as going to the courthouse to look at plat books, I’m in Indiana so no way that’s happening. Robert, send Cody!. Take pictures
@@rosesrred5074 Yeah, I'm in Indiana too, so again, that ain't happening, lol. Washington County Indiana here. Close to Salem.
@@Rebel9668 That is so weird. I’m in south Lawrence Co
Robert what a epic find...my heart was racing when you were showing bible & letter...
Maybe it would do well in a glass shadow box? Preserving textiles has taught me that acid is not a friend of those who wish to retain bits of history! Thank you for sharing your wonderful find and for reading the letters! A voice from the past is always so interesting!
This is the most amazing find you've ever uncovered. What a blessing to have that entrusted to you. I'd be absolutely all about unraveling the
mystery of the people now. I'd have to go onto ancestry and dig around or something..... surely there is family left from that place that would know who those people
are? It would be neat to have a conservator preserve the bible for you. Maybe have the letters preserved in plexy flats and display them in your home. What a humbling
find. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It gave me goosebumps. God Bless and Keep you and yours Robert. ✝
Outstanding video. I love the care and reverence you showed in handling both the Bible and the letters. I'm happy to hear that you will protect them both. Keep up the great work!
This is one of my favorite videos! Thank you Robert for sharing this beautiful piece of history!! 💕💕💕
I got chills when you were reading 💕
The name cards were used for when you went visiting and the family(or family member you went to visit) wasn’t home you left your card to let them know that you were there. I hate to tell you this but the more that letter is exposed to the light the more it will fade. I have some I need to have preserved before the words fade all together.
I also saw that card, but it looks like the ones we got in our high school graduation packages for announcements. These were passed out to our school mates as well, along with the occasional yearbook photo. (From the 1960's!)
@@alanatolstad4824 yes and I still have mine from 78 but I know they were used for other things too
@@alanatolstad4824 true, but older generations carried cards like that to hand to whoever answered the door so the could announce them to the homeowner. Or, if no one answered, they would leave it as an I called card as previously mentioned.
Not only that but the paper will become brittle and decinigrare ! From the air.
Amazing find. My Dad was in the Navy during WWII and I have letters he wrote home as well. Did you catch the "V mail" reference in the 1st letter you read? Victory Mail. Also, not to get too political but, after the events of the past few days, this came at such a wonderful time to remind us the Savior and His Word are always present and with us.
My mom was in the Navy. Amazing stories
amen, for that young man and his comrades we fight for our America!
I too was in the Navy from 1972 to 1978. If you are blessed to still have your father with you, please thank him for his service but if hes gone to heaven, when you visit him again, please tell him that James Robertson from Oklahoma thanks him for his honorable service. Before I even read your remarks, I was thinking the very same thing as you stated how it was found when we all needed it the most.
@@DramaMustRemainOnTheStage I served in the Navy from 1972 to 1978 and that is the proudest years of my life. Please tell your Mom that James Robertson from Oklahoma thanks her for her service.
I was in the Air Force April 1978 to January 1986 ! Thank you to all of you who served and those who are serving now ! I had uncles in WWII , my dad was in the Korean War , cousins in Vietnam War and my youngest stepson served in Iraq and Afghanistan !
OH my!!... THAT is the best find yet...It touched my heart... wow wow... please check on how to preserve it maybe contact a library (somewhere) to find out.. what a wonderful thing to discover...
Fabulous find. I'm enjoying your journey at the Byrd house. Keep up the good work.
Wow, what a find! The Bible would be well worth being professionally preserved, it's the heart of the house
Old bibles are common. The words themselves are the priceless treasure
Ingeborg M The words would not have been lost long ago if this Bible disappeared. I have a Bible on my shelf that has the exact same words in it. It is the Word which is valuable. The physical book is meaningless. I'm not trying to be difficult or rude, but we have got to live in reality. Mass produced Bibles are practically worthless. Even old ones.
But it isn’t the actual Bible that is valuable. It’s the history of that family Bible and the people who held it in their own hands that make it valuable. I have my old family Bible that was my great great grandfather’s. He was born in 1825. When he was 17 he went hunting in Iowa, from Indiana, but he got caught in a blizzard & froze his legs. They had to amputate from below his knees. Twice. Cannot imagine how he suffered. But he went on to marry twice, teach school and own a store in Birdseye, IN. He even platted out a town, New Louisville, which didn’t get far because the railroad by-passed the town. It’s mostly Hoosier National Forest land now. And he was musical. I know because I have his metronome and autoharp. And I have his chair that was made at the Birdseye, IN chair factory. (At least, that’s what I was told by the county historian) , and a big, framed portrait taken in Eckerty back in the day. Lewis B Walls was his name. His daughter, Nancy Lillie Fanny Walls was my great grandmother.
Worth, should not be assumed to be monetary. Many things are worth far more than just money. Many historical items have no monetary value, yet are priceless.
Robert, I'm so glad to see the reverence you have for God's Word, and the respect for the seemingly insignificant letters, which were truly a demonstration of the deep family bonds that were present there. Great segment!
Incredible find! If I may...My brother has dealt with paper preservation, and anytime I found an old book, he said to put it in a ziplock bag, and put it in the freezer to kill the mold. I would also take any other relics out of the book and put them in a separate bag, and put those in the freezer as well. Even though you can't see any mold on the letters and other items, it is probably there. Since paper is porous, mold spreads easily. You might want to check into getting the letters hermetically sealed. That way they can be viewed, but not damaged by handling. :)
Oh my that is where my mom put letters from my brother.Very presious mail indeed.Thank you for sharing ❤️
What an awesome find. Love from Australia. Thank you. Love you all. Xx
Ty for treating those letters with reverence and sharing them with us. I’m always amazed at what you find. I know how you feel bc I was given all my dad’s correspondence from Korea and Vietnam in October 2020 which was about 800 letters. I read them until I’ve cried too much or my heart is so sad I just can’t read one more word. Ty again. I promise when I have a job I’ll donate to you. Thanks for saving history wherever you find it!!!🙏🏻🙌🏻🤗❤️ Pam
Great find!! I love found treasures as you just recovered. Those ordinary events in time are just as important as the extraordinary events. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for sharing. Just precious. Like it was waiting for someone like you, to pick it up and appreciate it. Tears filled my eyes.
What a precious find. I hope you display it in the home when you have finished the remodeling, or search out the family that the Bible belongs to. Your doing an amazing job with the property. Through your videos, I get to see how exciting it is to uncover history.
I know you are from the south and I am too. I am a writer and recently talked to a highschool friend who is a retired teacher. I happened to mention to her that "Calvary" and "cavalry" were two different things. She was astonished as she thought - a teacher - that they were both the same word! Mt. Calvary was where Christ was reported to have been crucified and cavalry are those soldiers that "save the day" in John Wayne movies. It's a southern-thing to use one word interchangeably, but you might want to tuck the idea away when you decide to use one or the other meanings.:) You may be able to go on the internet and find those soldiers in a census. Many military records of this era were destroyed in a devastating fire in St, Louis after the war. Aside for your own nostalgia, preserving the Bible professionally will not add any monetary value. If it were a Gutenberg Bible it would be worth millions but even a bible from the 1700's has little monetary value.
That is a amazing find for sure robert.. you did a wonderful job reading it. It was very heartfelt letter.
Hi Robert! That was a awesome find. Can't wait to see the inside of the house. Thanks so much for sharing. I was so touched by the letters. Take care🙏❤
What an amazing find thank you for sharing the letters.
Thank Robert for sharing this it is absolutely amazing and it was meant to be May our Father Bless you and always keep you in his loving hands 🙏
Wonderful, awesome and a keeper. Thank you for sharing. Luv the process 💟. Great job. You have a beautiful old soul within you. God Bless you.
oh wow, what a special day for you. I believe God appointed this time for you to find His word. What a great gift, a very special bit of troubled times around the world and the greatest Book in the world, GOD'S WORD! Take very good care of both. Can't wait to hear more about this farm and the family that lived on it.
That is incredibly cool... thanks for sharing!!!!
That truly is an amazing find. I'm surprised its in as good a shape as it is. It shows the importance to the men fighting for freedom the support of letters from home.Great piece of History for sure. Keep Safe ❤ Keep Well ❤
Good Morning and Good Save!... God Bless you and yours
Good morning! Well night now
What a wonderful find. As a Veteran myself, I have a special place in my heart 💜 for those who treasure "the letters from home 🏡". Thank you for being one.
can't wait till you get inside i can't imagine what relics/pictures you will find when you going in Robert
I love your channel Robert - what a special find for you to make! I love anything to do with history - it just connects us all to lives gone by. We now live in Italy and I would love to come across a Roman find of some sort. 🌈
How amazing to be able to see these letters. Excited to your next video thanks
You're holding history, in your hands. How amazing, to, sort of 'bring back to life', memories of people, long gone. I know you will cherish these relics. These are extremely special and priceless.
Hello from Canada Robert! Wow what a amazing find! Something to cherish for sure! Does it give any clues to whom it belonged to? Is there any historical records of who lived in that house over the years? Your a class act sir! I hope someday we could meet!
Loved the video. I hope you take good photos of each item you found while they are still legible. I can remember many a farmer here in Alabama sitting on his porch, reading his Bible on a Sunday afternoon. Could have left it there, then became sick and never made it back to his favorite chair on the porch. And as the porch deteriorated, the Bible just slid into the remains of the porch and remained there all these years. Do you have several old pictures of the house from that time? Do you know what family owned it or the chain of ownership? Might could track down some family with old pictures.
What an amazing find. You are most fortunate.
WOW. That is so awesome. A Wonderful piece of history. Thank you for sharing that. 💕💕. 👍👍
Loved this episode. Thank you for your respect of history.
