Recap for / undefined by Tammy AI - ZĂĄbava
She looks much younger. It must be the clean water and food, the exercise and the beautiful land. These people sure are the best of America. Most of us have lost such important knowledge.
she is a great lady for sure
My husbands uncle passed earlier this year at 84. I kid you not, he didnât have one single wrinkle and he was not fat. His skin was of a 40 year old easily. He believed in herbs.
@@mylyloy
Can you elaborate on the herbs?
@@mylyloy yes...please tell us more of what you meant. I believe if we eat God's food (not made by men) and use God's herbs as medicine, 99% dis ease would dissappear.
You are so right! We've lost so much important knowledge. Many of us half her age would drop dead if we worked like she does. BUT!!!! If I can say ANYTHING good about the state of our country right now, it's that so many people are learning the old ways again. I wish we would have started years ago but we didn't and now we'll need to work even harder. This beautiful lady is such an inspiration!
So lovely! She and her son were gracious to share their time and land with you (and us). The house is incredible. The farm, spring house and graveyard, along with Sarah and her sons narrative kept my attention all the way until the end without thinking about seeing inside the house. What an amazing home to spend a life in. I hope you were able to go inside for a look around. Thank you for documenting their beautiful place.
My pleasure
You ALL leave her alone. She worked, paid for and kept the land up. Glory to God and you dear lady.â€

My great grandmother was from Appalachia. She came to Indiana in a covered wagon as one of the early settlers. Every year she had a large garden, a hog , and her homestead that she ran until she died at age 101 in 1971. I spent one wonderful summer with her when I was a kid. I am old now, but I have sweet memories of Grandma Abner.
my grandmother also ran her own farm up until she passed 109 grandma Bickley was a tough,,, her mother's mother came from England a true pioneer,,, covered wagon and all that ,,,,,, Ed
wow 109 that amazing...
She's among the last who lived through Depression years and WW2. Those experiences and stories will be gone soon. Good to see these videos.
My grandma is 86, and frequently corrects me and tells me she was too young / just being born as the depression ended
Love this ladyâ€

What a beautiful place! I'm 82 and still working about 20 acres with livestock. Not as spot less as Miss Sara Beth's. In Northern California, not as green and lush as her farm, more rustic in type.

My mom grew up on a 1000 acre farm in southern Illinois. I remember their spring house, the barns, the big chicken house. The big farmhouse with a woodstove and hand pump at the sink. I remember my gma working hard and fast to feed 30 hired men when harvesting, etc. And the featherbeds!
Sara Beth is a blessed woman! Iâm happy for her.
Fresh air, fresh food, less stress and constant movement. This is how you live to 88 with a sharp mind. God bless.
Beautiful place/ Sarah Beth is Sooooooo sweet

Love your channel, we need more interviews with the old timers. My goodness she is in great shape , doing so well for her age. She puts me to shame and I am 70. I too got married at 18 and had a wonderful marriage until the good Lord took my husband home to heaven after 33 wonderful years. God bless her. Love the Appalachiaâs, so beautiful! She needs to call in the Barn builders to restore her barn or buy it before it totally is lost. Beautiful logs đšđŠ
More to come!
Mrs. Sarah Russell moved to the farm the year I was born. She had an amazing roll model in Ahletta, ( lover her name) her mother in law. Imagine cooking for the hands of a 500 acre farm. That tractor looks much like one belonging to my grandfather. My father even used it to plow snow. Grandpa had lots of land. I loved Mrs. Sarah's interesting history told during the interview. I was always fascinated by the amazing appalachian people. They are so warm and welcoming. They also have faith, talent, the will and know how to get things done. Much respect from a New Englander.

Iâve been inside only a couple of historically old homes in my entire life, I guess Iâve been living under a rock. The excellent drone footage of the house brought the term âChateauâ to mind.

@Beverly Hill agree!
You should have gotten a fiddle tape from Jean, Sarah Beth's daughter of Bill Russell playing the fiddle. I hear he was tied for the national championship years ago but left before the playoffs so he could get home and milk. The history here is amazing.
I didn't know he played anything but maybe one day I can ask about that. thanks for the comment
It is BEAUTIFUL

Thank you so much for doing this interview, and I'm so glad I heard about this channel from the Appalachian American. My wife and I recently moved from this area, for a job in a different state, and we miss it everyday.
I used to drive by this lady and see her outside working on her yard/garden ALL the time! She truly is amazing, and it was one of my regrets to never stop by and talk to her, so i am very glad you made this.
If you ever want to interview another person in the area, Toppy Russell would be a good one. He lives right across the road from this house up the hill. I used to talk to him a good amount down there, and he has a very extensive knowledge of the Valley area.
Fascinating!! †LOVED this video. đ I grew up in WV, which is the only state that is 100% in Appalachia. đ„°
My people are from far East Tennessee, Cocke County. Reminds me of my grandparents.

I just found your channel and subscribed this weekend. I love it. Iâm from Southeastern Kentucky, Knox County and my husband was raised in Claiborne County, and Speedwell was his running around area. This has been so interesting. This is a place weâve seen and thought was so fascinating for years. My husbandâs teacher in high school was Mrs. Russell that lived across the road down down from this house. We are loving the videos!

She and my mother are the same age. Mother was married in '51 at age 19. I'm surprised at age 18, her daddy still had to sign for her. Is she still living? This is October 18, 2022 when I'm writing this. Wonderful story.

I live in Pike County, Ohio. in the western part of our county is a spring on State owned property. This was where a John Kincaid settled and built a cabin in the early 1800's. Eventually my great grandmother owned this property in the early 1900's. Most of this property was sold to the State of Ohio. it is now the location of the state operated Kincaid Fish Hatchery and the Pike State Forest headquarters. My great grandmother lived in the Kincaid house, just across the road from the spring, until shortly before her passing in 1958. I remember my uncle showing me the Kincaid cemetery just above the spring. I wonder if these Kincaids are related the the family mentioned in this video.
Thanks for watching and good point to ponder
Loved itđ Thanx, she is a treasure, and I would have loved to meet her!!
Our pleasure!
Amazing!!!
Thanks!!

Now every Senior Citizen sitting on their tush, needs to see this woman in action. Thatâs the secret to longevity, keep moving. Some stretches would help her back. Also, use of Kailo nanotech pain relief patch. After being crushed in my car a few years ago I can tell you all about pain. This & Sunsoil CBD oil helped completely than prescription drugs.
