    Hi JD! This story hit home for me. My grandmother passed away years after my grandfather on my father’s side. I remember my father and my aunt had to sell everything my grandmother had to give her a proper burial.
    My father and aunt didn’t even get to keep a keepsake of their mother or fathers things. I never knew when the things were auctioned off, so I never had a chance to get anything either.
    Years later I received a phone call from an old family friend and they asked me if I would be interested in my grandmother’s antique peddle sewing machine. I asked my father about this friend having the sewing machine which he verified it to be true. I bought my grandmother’s sewing machine for $300.00.
    I wanted that sewing machine because it was my grandmother’s and she taught me to sew on that machine.
    My father said he didn’t give that much for it, but I was willing to pay whatever he was asking. I had to replace the leather belt, but it was in perfect condition, just the way I remembered it.
    I guess it hold memories and sentimental value to me.
    Have a blessed weekend!

      Great-grandmother's treadle Singer is right across from this keyboard. The first thing she sewed was a burial gown for a friend's baby and made others.
      I have a list of original owners of furniture and items at mother's. Doubt I'll inherit them but promised the universe I'd try my hardest to somehow see they get back from where they came. If the new generations don't want them, fine, but if one thing gets back to a family then all the good. It's the principle.

    As much as I like the Appalachian outlaw stories it's ones like this that I love. I loved when she started bidding against the ole road hog foreigner from Pennsylvania but then was misguided by the lady who said she would miss the cradle the most, lol 11 kids. But then amazed by pa buying it back after all these years. Made me think of your son and the bedroom furniture you and him built together this past year. If he ever lost it, how far would he go to get it back? What a terrific story JD. Wholesome, thanks for putting a smile on my face. 😁

I'm sure he has fond memories of him helping you. I don't know if you realize this, but one of reasons for the Appalachian story tellers success is because they are so relatable even to the story teller himself. Heck I even have a fond memory of you sharing that story with us.

    Well, thanks for another great story, JD. I didn't see the end coming at all, though perhaps I should've. And I can really relate to some people's attachment to family heirlooms, as I've been dragging stuff from as far back as my great-grandparents, from pillar to post. Since at 78 I'm the last one standing in my direct family line, it helps me feel more connected to those I've lost, though I know I'll see them again when I cross the river.

    Great story as always. Reminds me of my great-grandmother’s house. She has family pictures from tintypes to contemporaries. It was like walking through time. She had a fair amount of old furniture too as you might imagine but, as a child, I was captivated with those old pictures. Such a connection to one’s past is an immensely precious thing and I can only imagine such a feeling as being able to reclaim that connection.

I took pictures of them and put the negatives in the vault and sent out CDs hoping they'd survive a while. But who knows. We donated boxes of old newspapers to the state library but they lost them, sigh.......
