- Lowell Crow, Horace Crow, Opal Fisher, William Crow, Daisy Briggs, Grace Shaw, Gertrude Baldwin, Anna Batchelor, Emma Fisher, all siblings, aged 54 to 73: "Our parents are backstage ... They're celebrating their 74th wedding anniversary tonight." Mr. and Mrs. Everett Crow are both 95. Everett, a music teacher, plays "O Dem Golden Slippers" on a violin he made himself, accompanied by Norman Paris on accordion. (Let me know if any names are misspelled.)

They look the same age as their children. And what a lucky family to keep their parents so long.
My family has longevity on both sides. It can be both a blessing and a burden.
I'm the granddaughter of Gertrude Baldwin and I remember watching this on my TV at home. Great Grandma died the following year - just before the 75th wedding anniversary. Great Grandpa a few years later - just before 100th birthday. The children all took the plane, but great-grandparents didn't want to get on a plane so they took the train to NY from Detroit. Grandma Baldwin complained that Pa's bowstrings broke before the show and he didn't play well. The panel members all joined the family for that great meal on them at a fancy 'joint' -- she said they were all so kind and friendly - especially Betsy Palmer. What great memories! What huge family reunions!
What a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing that with us!
Evelyn Baldwin who was Gertrude Baldwin?
@@robinheuver9620 The one in the pale dress sat on the left.
thank you for sharing this tidbit story. Your great grandparents were born way way before the airplane was invented. Incredible to think of that.
@@disneygirl2302 They were born before the automobile or washing machines, or most things common today. They had core removers with apple peeler, ice cellars, and tools none of us could identify even back in the 60s
They should bring this show back. Just a simple show that really wows you at the end.
It is on, with Anthony Anderson or someone and it's stupid and the secrets are usually dirty.
@Zac's DIY Guns They brought back "TO TELL THE TRUTH " and its popular

Yeah, I hate it! His mommy is an arse!
@@pattycake9183 I was thinking the same thing.
I love that idea… I’d sure watch!
Mrs Crow died months after this episode in January 1965. A month shy of their 75th anniversary. Mr Crow lived until 1968, just 4 months shy of his 100th birthday. RIP
Oh Wow!
This one was so sweet! How wonderful! They look good for 95 years old!
SOmehow I got onto Gary Moore in my searching and here I am. wWhat a wonderful story! My Grandparents were born in 1890, the year they married. They lived through a very changing world.
The show was so nice to give them the dinner!
What a family. How cool is this story.
I love these old episodes. Thanks for posting
My great great grandparents and their children. Opal Fisher is my great grandmother. Her son, Thomas Fisher is my grandfather. Evelyn Baldwin, that would make us cousins. Cheryl K. We are also related!
These things are really amazing!!!!
Hi Cheryl. Just now looking back at these comments -- I remember Opal so very well. Bless her heart - she cared for her parents even when she herself was elderly and had little money. Remember, the old folks were retired long before Social Security was even a law. The only help they got were the surplus food boxes. But when 'the clan' came around -- huge meals seemed to be almost miraculously on the table. If they didn't have all the ingredients, they knew good substitutes. Besides, listening to all their stories was better than any food on the table. Great grandparents were born just after the civil war and lived to look up in the skies at the sputnik satellite! Talk about living through change. Great grandpa loved the Tigers. He became nearly a legend because he wrote the coaches every year about what the team needed. He knew the scores and plays for the Tigers from games that occurred before the team players were born. Sometimes a coach would call just to talk to 'Pa' -- now that was a thrill. When the old folks died - no large reunions ever happened -- they were the force that held everyone together.
Did your great grandmother and her sister marry brothers (named Fisher)?
@@Jaxsf1 no -- just had the same last name
@@Jaxsf1 yes Opal and Mamie did.
kid: "Grandpa and grandma, did you vote for Pres. Johnson?"
them: "Which one?"
Andrew Johnson wasn't elected! He became president after the President Lincoln chocked on his meal in the oval office
This is the best thing I have seen all day on UA-cam.
I hope great-great-greats are watching their wonderful family!
Amazing. Congratulations to their parents.
Just so sweet. He could play!
It is some of my favorite childhood memories going to listen to Grandpa Crow play the violin or watch him whittle making one.
His fingers were still so nimble at 95 years old.
This is a wonderful, beautiful story and it's lovely to have it as a living memory of your family.
INCREDIBLE. Never have I seen anything like this. This is a WOW.
What a wonderful family. Wish all family act like them.
Married in 1890!
What a beautiful family!
wow! this is a great story! :)
Awesome. My Dad was born in 1907. He too played violent. 1890 was when theses people were born......would be as old as my grandparents born in 1886. Grandpa Percy G . Died in June 1966 ...I was last of 7 kids born in 1961. It too 12 years for my parents to have kids after they married in 1936...11 years to have us all and 11 years between ages of my dad and mom.
Crazy by 11 comes 7.
These are my ancestors.
It's crazy to see this as a 15 year old boy now.
My family! Such a treasure to have and behold.
I am Gertrude's granddaughter and had two sons -- what part of the family are you from?
Did they make it to their 75th anniversary?
Wow this is really cool I love being able to watch the old shows on UA-cam
@@teriannebeauchamp254 no they did not. Grandma Crow died Jan of the following year.
@@evelynbaldwin3212 I am Daisy's granddaughter.
Precious!!!
so beautiful =)
I'm from England and I've never seen this program before and I'm absolutely hooked wish my parents were still around
A few years earlier & the show would have gifted everyone with a carton of Winstons.
Smiling all along.
Parents truly blessed.
Just by that family alone since 1890 they could populate the whole state of Wyoming which incidentally became a state just a few months after they married.
It became a state just after they were married in 1890, not when this aired in 1964.
@@kathyjuola6317 Oops! I was slightly inebriated when I posted that. That's what I meant and super thanks!
Jeeps, thought he was going to take out her eye with that bow! What a lovely segment, glad to have found them :)
I was glad that she was wearing glasses. lol
I thought the same thing. 😅
I'm related to them. Anna Batchelor's my 2nd Great Grandma. My Paternal Grandpa's Paternal Grandma.
God bless this family!
Mr and Mrs Crow were married on February 24, 1890!
i was raised there were nine kids... turns out there are 13 of us. Large families are fun!
Awesome!
Lovely!
Wonderful
Great story
It's today! How coincidental.
My great uncle Johnnie passed away a month ago. He was a clerk during the Tokyo Trials and was married for over 71 years. Most wonderful person I’ve ever met.
Rumor has it they're all still alive.
We had 6 generations in our family
Such large families back then!
I just found out 2 years ago that I’m related to the Shaw’s and the Baldwin’s. There decedents of the Mayflower, I am to.
Many Americans are descended from Mayflower passengers, I am! But I wouldn’t call those with common ancestors relatives necessarily. My sister and her husband are 11th cousins but they aren’t related by DNA whatsoever. Interesting stuff!
@@____username____ my grandmother’s maiden last name was Southworth, she told me I was a descendent of the mayflower.
@@shirleyales1537 interesting!
I was waiting for him to take her eye out with that bow.
If you mixed them up, I couldn’t tell you who among them were the parents and who were the kids. They all looked really old. Probably the dress and hairstyles have something to do with it.
This couple was married 71 years the year I was born in 1961
What about giving them a giant bouquet of flowers.
Those were flowers made from tissue paper from their grandchildren.
Holy 💩. The "kids" looked as old as the parents.
00:08 he's Counting Crows.
Good one 😄
Do you know when exactly both were born and died, plus her full name too, please?
She went by Pearline -- first name Sarah -- maiden name Vaughn -- are you family?
They were married in 1890. Today there are no known humans alive who lived in the 1800s, let alone were married in that century.
The 1800s is not a century!
@@eggy543 Your point? I could have called that group of years the nineteenth century, but some people would mistake that with the 1900s. If you wish to get technical, the nineteenth century began January 1, 1801 (not 1800).
If anyone is still alive in one piece today, is it the violin, in a museum display case?
I was told that there were two 'fiddles' that great-grandpa made. One went to a folk art museum (in NY but not sure) and the other went with one of the family -- no one would admit taking it. It would have been a family battle as you might imagine.
@@evelynbaldwin3212 they are both with the family, but a cousin of Grandpa's, Taylor Crow use to make violins and other instruments out of matchsticks that are in the Smithsonian museum. I have had the privilege of seeing the violin made with matchsticks in person.
54!?!? Wow! people looked older back then ...
Times where harder back then. They also lived through The Great Depression, The Spanish Flu, WWI, and WWII. Any of those things would take its toll on a body. Manual labor is stressful on the body. They also didn’t have the skincare routines and creams like we do today.
Married in 1890.
Where did the Crow family live, what state ?
michigan
Indiana and Michigan
I cringed when he held the bow of the violin 😂🙈
Wow, married in the late 1800s.😳
Again it is demonstrated that "a murder" is a lousy name for an extended family of Crows.
I guess in this case they could've given them a lifetime supply of Winstons and it wouldn't have made much of a difference.
As the family would always let us know -- they were raised 'river-water Baptists' -- no smoking -- at least not the great grandparents.
54 to 73? They all look like they're in their eighties.
