@@preacherman9018 thank you sir. I am a Disciple of Jesus and strive every day to bring Him honor. I am a retired nurse and I love the elderly too. My grandma lived to be 104. She is my example of a Proverbs 31 woman. My granddad on the other side was a "Preacher Man" too. In their retirement they were missionaries to Haiti. They are the ones who prayed me into the Kingdom because my parents weren't interested. Jesus bless you sir. Have a blessed night. I can't wait to meet you in the Kingdom of God, brother.
My dear friend will be 105 this month! She talks about the depression, the dust bowl, the Spanish Flu and all sorts of amazing details of when she was growing up. I love to listen to her. She is totally shocked and angry about what America is becoming, and how quickly it's happening.

What a blessing and a real treasure. I unexpectedly burst into tears listening to her stories. I was born in the wrong time period. She makes me miss my Great Aunt, born in 1904....I wish I had asked her more about life when she was young before she passed
[ Awww, this is such a treat. It's like listening to my granny, rest her soul. She talked about the Christmas oranges too. She said she hid hers in her dresser drawer one year to save it and it rotted before she could eat it and she was always "disgusted" with herself for wasting it, but she wanted to savor the idea of having it as long as she could before eating it. When I was in college I interviewed my grandma about the flu and she told of the "gut wagon" that would come and gather the dead. She said her dad and herself were the only ones who didn't get sick and they took care of their family and the neighbors. Thank you for sharing and refreshing my memories of my own granny.]
She makes me miss my grandma who lived to 104 years and 5 days old. She was born in 1909. ❤ I wish I could ask her more questions. There's just things they wouldn't talk about to a child even though you were curious and asked. The answer was frequently "oh you don't want to hear about that." God rest her soul.
My papaw was born in 1907 and when I was born in 1976, he was already "up there". He lived to be 93 and passed Sept 11th the year before the events in NYC. Watching this, I cried with a smile on my face. The cadence of her speech and the words Granny uses are reminiscent of storytime with Papaw. I miss him so much, but this allows me to touch the past, even if just for a moment. Thank you! What a blessing this was to me!
This woman was blessed with a very high level of intelligence, as indicated by her excellent memory and clear communication skills. Also, the fact that her teacher wanted to move her up a grade.
My grandfather was a postal carrier in rural E TX. I never bothered to ask if he ever had to use horse n buggy. Wish I knew more now! Asked more questions... I was just a kid. Didn't know what questions to ask! Too bad I don't have any film like this. Would have been fantastic!!!
Love these stories,because I lived like that in the 1960s! My Dad heated bricks up & put them in our beds! Ice was on the inside window! Breakfast: ripped up homemade bread,can milk with water,with a little sugar on top! I slept on Two chairs pushed together,then moved to sofa . With 11 kids,it was hard. I remember: in school milk: white for a week 11 cents/ 17 cents chocolate. To make $ as a little kid,I would collect soda glass bottles & take to store!! We had a garden & Dad would get us rabbit to eat! Christmas: we all got color g books & crayons. A real sock hung,to get oranges & apples. Mister Softy: I could only get a icey for a Nickel. Butter was white with yellow dye to mix . My Dad quit school at 12 to work in mines, sisters quit school to help with bills. I real never notice it was hard! Made me strong!

Beautiful grandmother you are blessed to have somebody to tell you these doors I had a grandmother that was born in 1902 and a grandfather born in 1898 and I got a real blessing from them enjoy it and remember it
I'm a 69 year old Canadian. The first place I remember living in was a converted chicken coup behind a small wartime house. We had a coal bin attached to the back of the coup. A toilet which was actually an outhouse outside but tacked on next to the coal bin. Ice blocks were delivered for the icebox. A horsedrawn buggy delivered milk, butter and eggs weekly. A very simple life. That was in the late 50's an hour north of Toronto.❤
Thanks for sharing! Reminds me of my great grandmother she was born in 1904. I was blessed to know her it was amazing hearing about her life growing up. Having people like this lady still around is better than gold!!

She lived close vto our house. We lived on Lost Creek Rd. My parents Bland & Idell Smallman. My Grandpa John Smallman , lived at the top of our hill & you could see all around, all the way to 11E. Beautiful area
I grew up in Jefferson county and Knoxville . It was a great place . She even mentioned New Market Tn . I lived there too. Had one caution light and probably still does today .
I have really enjoyed listening to your granny's stories! She is absolutely remarkable, but sadly I see time changing her from 101 to 105 and that was 3 years ago! Please tell me that in 2023 that she is still with us? I hope so 🙏🙏 God bless her beautiful soul and you for documenting her stories which will live on I guess for eternity? We'll see how longer that is, huh?
Really thats what wrong with our Country now. We've had it way to easy for way to long. People talk about how underprivileged they are wearing $80 jeans, $25 shirts, $150 sneakers, $35000 car, $125k house and a $1200 cell phone.
Wow the baggage car I'd almost forgotten seeing a man my father worked with at the post office throw the mail into a baggage car of a north bound freight going to Chattanooga
How about a dedicated class in schools today to watch these interviews and write essays on life today in comparison and the heart of the matter at hand!

I was born in 1957 and had been hearing about the Old Days,1870s on up, since I was a little kid. I would even hear stories about people they knew who were born in the 17th century. So, I think I will pass on this one. People like her who were born in 1918 were a dime a dozen up until the year 2000.

This beatiful young lady's memories are a treasure. Thank you for sharing. But before you go on waxing poetic about the good old days when strong family values ruled and America was busy spawning its greatest generation ever, dont forget about how large populations of people were unduly suffering. If you were born with what was deemed to be less desirable i.e. darker skin, being female, disabled, wrong religion, etc etc etc, those good old says will suddenly become the fodder for unspeakable nightmares. Again, thank you for the beautiful memories. Just dont fall into the trap of thinking that just because something is old makes it better. If you get old enough then your todays will be the good old days as well. Make today a day you can look back on with pride instead of regret.

By the way, do you see that white house across the highway down the hill? That's the house Grannie was born in!
Dear Sir, Is this precious lady still alive?
It's remarkable how much she recalls from the depression. I just got done watching that video and about to watch this.
Yessir I would love to know if Grannie is still alive? ❤
I'm glad that someone else does too. 🙂👍
Life is too short even at 105.
Two years later, it's still possible. Perhaps the interviewer who has this channel and contact info would kindly make a call and find out how she's doing. Besides, I think it would bring joy to her heart to read, or have someone read all of these responses from time to time.

Love to hear these memories. I no longer have living parents or grandparents and I miss their stories so much. Thank you for sharing your stories.💕
Love these stories,because I lived like that in the 1960s! My Dad heated bricks up & put them in our beds! Ice was on the inside window! Breakfast: ripped up homemade bread,can milk with water,with a little sugar on top! I slept on Two chairs pushed together,then moved to sofa . With 11 kids,it was hard. I remember: in school milk: white for a week 11 cents/ 17 cents chocolate. To make $ as a little kid,I would collect soda glass bottles & take to store!! We had a garden & Dad would get us rabbit to eat! Christmas: we all got color g books & crayons. A real sock hung,to get oranges & apples. Mister Softy: I could only get a icey for a Nickel. Butter was white with yellow dye to mix . My Dad quit school at 12 to work in mines, sisters quit school to help with bills. I real never notice it was hard! Made me strong!
Thank you for that story!
Interesting story, thanks for sharing
Sadly, we visited a lady in a convalescent home awhile back, and the "common" scene, is to see the grandchildren being encouraged to use the pool, while shoving grandma over in the corner with a big hat on, so people wouldn't communicate with her! Told you it was sad..No wonder people try to avoid many of those "homes ?"
Great Interviews, Mr. Davis; What a great lady, Catherine....Those BIRDS seem to want to say something too ?
Did you ask Catherine how she feels about having the vaccine btw ? I'd just bet she's one who would have refused being shoved off into a convalesent home with the infected; she's one who chose stayed with her loved ones instead.
Waiting for you do record a video of "children today" learning how to put batteries into their flashlights ?
Then go visit the Quakers or the Amish, and show us how to hitch a team of horses ??
Pls fwd this one to Catherine for me, will you ?

Always take care of our elderly,because one day you too will be elderly! Truth!
A life well lived is what I hear, along with a great deal of gratitude in those recollections.
God Bless that Beautiful lady ❤️ They lived life so simple back then. I wish we could all live that way.
The Amish and the Quakers stiil do.
We heard the words ' Bolshevicts", Hitler and Mussolini throughout the 50's as children, but never really knew what our grandparents were talking about until high school!

Beautiful grandmother you are blessed to have somebody to tell you these doors I had a grandmother that was born in 1902 and a grandfather born in 1898 and I got a real blessing from them enjoy it and remember it
It's amazing to see her, and hear her talking about living pre-election times, and seeing cars speeding behind her!!
What an absolute treasure. Thank you so much for taking the time to record the memories and to share them!
What a Blessing to have your Granny to visit with.
I'm a 69 year old Canadian. The first place I remember living in was a converted chicken coup behind a small wartime house. We had a coal bin attached to the back of the coup. A toilet which was actually an outhouse outside but tacked on next to the coal bin. Ice blocks were delivered for the icebox. A horsedrawn buggy delivered milk, butter and eggs weekly. A very simple life. That was in the late 50's an hour north of Toronto.❤
Thanks for sharing! Reminds me of my great grandmother she was born in 1904. I was blessed to know her it was amazing hearing about her life growing up. Having people like this lady still around is better than gold!!
That was an amazing century!
@@avanellehansen4525 absolutely!!
God bless this beautiful woman! We will be going back to no electricity.... hang on good folks! 🙏
Good- At least horses don't' run into each other and blow up on impact! So sick of "everybody in a hurry" and "no time to befried your fellow man too!"

Wow,she has a great memory! Your so lucky to have her. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for posting this. Wonderful to listen to her.
Her stories match my mothers.
What an excellent memory, she is awesome
Loved this stroll down memory lane, thank you for sharing.
Love listening to her memories! By the time I was 32 all my grandparents had passed away and this makes me wish I would have asked not questions💔
"W E" should have never "allowed" pray in the schools to have been removed, in the first place !
I think having "real" nutritional foods not packaged and stored had ALLOT to do with the physical HEALTH back then,too.

Thank you so much for telling your stories, Gramma! 🥰. Thank you so much for patiently filming her, without interrupting her ❤️
She is so adorable 💕
I’ve watched a couple of your videos and what a treasure your grannie was! Thank you for sharing! 😀👍🌸💕🌱
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed them
Thank you for posting. I love her stories. Reminds me of the stories my grandmother and mother used to tell me. What a blessing she is. 💕
I hope grandma is doing well, what a precious thing to be able to hear all these stories. Please do another video with her if you can.
Sadly, she is no longer with us - but I'm glad you enjoyed listening
@@ralphdavis1431 My condolences to you. It is good you spent a lot of quality time with her and her mind was still sharp at that age.
So sweet. Reminds me of my grandmothers stories.
Thank you for this video. She is precious. I remember my grandparents always had stories like these. Priceless.
Thank you Mr. Davis for these beautiful, informative, thought provoking videos! Thank you for your videos!
Wonderful lady. Remarkable, eloquent, articulate. Those were the days.
How sweet she is she remembers everything of her past childhood times were hard even children had to work in those days we don't realize how good we have it😊 God bless her
This is priceless info, thank you. You can see how it tires her out to tell it all. Please post any and all other videos like this you made of her.

It is actually very comforting to me to hear this lady talk about older times. I love real survivor types like this lady. We need more people NOW in this world like her.
It's so wonderful you captured her memories!
What an interesting lady
Bless her heart! I love this sweet Lady.
Fsntastic video, glad she was so aware yet!

thx for sharing!
Thank you for sharing her with us and her memories. What a memory. ❤
(In Ohio, my in laws said their parents used corn cobs..no tp.)
I just love listening to her stories. Such detail in the way life was for her in those years. Thank you Mam for sharing! We love you❤
I love to hear stories of the old days. 🙂
Interesting bit of living history! Thanks for sharing
what a wonderful lady! thank you
How sweet!
Thank you for sharing!
I love how she calls her mother, "mother." ❤
God Bless her.
Wonderful interview!
So sorry to hear of her passing.🙏❤️
Lovely!
This is why we have resets, to bring the spoiled and rotten to the surface! Hard times will do that. See what we are really made of !!
Bless this woman and the old soul who cares enough to interview them.

Sharp as can be.🌺
She lived close vto our house. We lived on Lost Creek Rd. My parents Bland & Idell Smallman. My Grandpa John Smallman , lived at the top of our hill & you could see all around, all the way to 11E. Beautiful area
She a long life GOD BLESS HER WISH SHE WAS STILL ALIVE 🥲🙏☝️
I grew up in Jefferson county and Knoxville . It was a great place . She even mentioned New Market Tn . I lived there too. Had one caution light and probably still does today .
I have really enjoyed listening to your granny's stories! She is absolutely remarkable, but sadly I see time changing her from 101 to 105 and that was 3 years ago! Please tell me that in 2023 that she is still with us? I hope so 🙏🙏 God bless her beautiful soul and you for documenting her stories which will live on I guess for eternity? We'll see how longer that is, huh?
She's cute. I hope y'all are doing okay. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing
Horse, horse & buggy, my kind of getting around!
Really thats what wrong with our Country now. We've had it way to easy for way to long. People talk about how underprivileged they are wearing $80 jeans, $25 shirts, $150 sneakers, $35000 car, $125k house and a $1200 cell phone.
Dear heart ❤❤❤!
This is wonderful is this lady still alive
Sadly, no. She passed away in 2020. She would have been glad to know you liked her story though.
What a wonderful time....
Wow the baggage car
I'd almost forgotten seeing a man my father worked with at the post office throw the mail into a baggage car of a north bound freight going to Chattanooga
This should be transcribed into text
Where does she live? The birds are amazing.

I wish her Mom would of let her take the exam in 7th grade to go to 9th. I am sure she would have passed. Super smart lady. 😊
They should bring chapel back in school !!
What a difference that would make in our society! Too bad it was ever removed. We’ve gone down-hill ever since.
How about a dedicated class in schools today to watch these interviews and write essays on life today in comparison and the heart of the matter at hand!

She is tired.
I was born in 1957 and had been hearing about the Old Days,1870s on up, since I was a little kid. I would even hear stories about people they knew who were born in the 17th century. So, I think I will pass on this one. People like her who were born in 1918 were a dime a dozen up until the year 2000.
Polly No big deal listening to a 105 year old talk about the past with a sharp mind . LOL!!!

Your ignorant comment proves you've never learned a thing in your 65 years.
Hows maam
This beatiful young lady's memories are a treasure. Thank you for sharing.
But before you go on waxing poetic about the good old days when strong family values ruled and America was busy spawning its greatest generation ever, dont forget about how large populations of people were unduly suffering. If you were born with what was deemed to be less desirable i.e. darker skin, being female, disabled, wrong religion, etc etc etc, those good old says will suddenly become the fodder for unspeakable nightmares. Again, thank you for the beautiful memories. Just dont fall into the trap of thinking that just because something is old makes it better. If you get old enough then your todays will be the good old days as well. Make today a day you can look back on with pride instead of regret.
Why do you feel the need to pollute the comments with your Evil Racism and Bigotry?
Is she still living
Sadly, no. Grannie passed away in October of that year.
@@ralphdavis1431 was she married for long time how she pass
@@ralphdavis1431 Sorry for your loss. I love hearing the stories even still, and I’m glad you got to spend good quality time with her!!
