My great grandpa willie is wearing that orange hat. I'm not sure exactly when he passed although I was born in 1994 and he passed before I was born. I live in dent county alot of Piatts still live in shannon county in timber and through eminence.
@@katinapiattclavier6338 Thank you so much for your comments! Your family is so precious. There was a small clip of your great grandmother in the original documentary when they were all gathered and had a deer that Gary was cutting on the porch. Would have loved to see more of her, but I think she was probably camera shy. I like your great grandfather's personality. I watch "Portrait of the Ozarks" a lot with my daughter just because it is so peaceful and informative. I love the history and the fine people. I really appreciate your family taking the time to share their lives like this so long ago. Is Edward your grandfather or Gary, or Eugene the nephew? There were 7 sons of Willie, right? Just wondering. I know some of Willie's boys have passed away. I saw that Edward and Kenny are still living. I wish there was a "Where Are They Now" video. I'd love to have an update. Well, may God bless you and your precious family. Hope you all are well. 🙏💖🌹
I love sprang time. I grew up in north Alabama in the foothills of the Appalachians and everyone I grew up with and around talked like and had the same demeanor as these feller's. I've been around the world since growing up there and I still think these are the best people on the planet.
Haha i saw a comment on another vid about southern MO accents where a dude from alabama said that when he visited southern MO he was shocked that the southern accents here were even stronger then where he's from. It also made him realize that missouri is def not just a midwestern state, it has a midwestern part but the southern half is very southern
My great grandma who was born in the 1890’s was born only a couple counties north of the people in this video and cursed like a sailor. Only thing is that the words/sayings she used then weren’t taboo until the last 30 years. It’s really just a matter of perspective and doesn’t have any bearing on a persons worth or kindness.
@@coleslavpiesboi No condemnation on your grandmother, yet What comes out of our mouth matters so much as we all will give an account to God for every word we utter in this life.
these great men also new how to work on chain saws that was when you had to also buying parts for their saw was not at all easy I bet they made their on parts and their saws worked perfect try finding that kind of skill today
it's a lot more dangerous driving down the highway if you don't know what your doing skidding trees making a living during those days those men where the best of the best of all people this country has ever seen yet they never knew it nor did any body unless they tried living this life
I know you're certainly honored to be one! You have a wonderful family. God bless your precious family! Your people are the salt of the earth and the richness of this Country.

It's very nice to hear my great grandpa's voice for the first time.
Which one is he ? When did he passed away ? Do you live in Shannon County?

The Piatts are well known for having the best hounds around. Even now in 2021
I live in the county just east of Shannon County Missouri, where these folks are from, and the July Hounds down here are a prized possession
Thats the sound of the Ozarkian accent.

That's the truth!
North arkansas southern missori family
Who else here is a Piatt.?.?
I am
Not a Piatt, but I live in the county over to the East of Shannon, and I know people who have hunted with them
Not a Piatt but kin to them
I know you're certainly honored to be one! You have a wonderful family. God bless your precious family! Your people are the salt of the earth and the richness of this Country.
I bet they have some good dog
Who disliked this?
kinda sad to have kids born into what amounts to slavery.
I don't agree with you at all
Must of been born with a silver spoon in your mouth then.
What on earth are you talking about ? You must be a liberal communist
Its called life
People would be much better off living like this.
