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!
Oh my, what a beautiful story Willow, I’m so happy to hear you got it back ❤️
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller thank you.
I'm glad you could get that. I know from similar experiences just how much value such a thing can hold for someone; sometimes even increasing with time.
@@alext. thank you.
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.
The Appalachian Storyteller channel is truly like no other. 📜🌄 Their deep dive into Appalachian history is not just intriguing but utterly captivating. Did you know that Appalachian folklore is rich with tales of mysterious 'haints' and 'boogers'? It's a world filled with both enchantment and intrigue. What sets this channel apart is its authenticity. You can feel the genuine passion and dedication to preserving this unique culture and history. It's a journey back in time that's both educational and profoundly moving. Keep spinning those Appalachian yarns, they're a treasure trove of our heritage! 🏞🌌📖
Wow, mighty nice of you Scully, thank you so much for the kind words my friend
This story made me cry! A new favorite!!
Hey scully, how are ya brother. Looks like we have the same taste in channels lol
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. 😁
Wow, James, I hadn’t thought about it that way. That definitely puts a new spin on this story for me. I had forgotten I posted the furniture I made for him on here, but he is definitely taking good care of it
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller heck yeah, I'd be willing to bet you a nickle to a dollar he'd go as far as he needed to get that back. Especially since he helped a little bit. 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.
You truly have one of the best channels on CZcams! Not only have you created a wonderful channel; you’ve created a CZcams family. ❤
Thank you Catherine, I’m really glad you’re here
Such twists in the plot. Such a surprisingly happy ending. Now, I've gotta go grab a tissue and wipe the tears from my eyes. ❤😊
Happy you enjoyed it!
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.
Thank you Frosty, the ending sure had a twist didn’t it!
Yes sir, you will see them again and for me it's worth having that ole stuff around just as I'm sure it is for you. We can look at and it brings life and loving memories back to us from long years past.
Me too. My kids don't want any of "that old stuff". Such a shame
@@ruthrecord6430 maybe they'll change thier minds, it's definitely worth keeping. 😉
@@ruthrecord6430 Tell them stories surrounding the old stuff and the kids might change their minds.
Ha ha ha ha lol, the bumping together of 2 machines on the out skirts of Boonsboro is still a news item. 😁
That was the type of news that would set the tongues a wagin’
Morning JD. I actually got some goosebumps with that ending. Just imagining the look on the Grandma's face when she saw that dresser back. Another nice story. Thanks.
Thanks Troy, hope y’all have a great Saturday
JD, your story touched my heart and was a blessing. I was so happy that the old man got his precious furniture back . Things that seem to have little value ,are priceless to those that knows its history and the memories they hold . Just like the mother and her craddle.
Many thanks for all the work you put into each story.
God bless.
Thank you Nonnie, I’m so happy this story blessed you ❤️
JD, thank you for this story! Part of me thought the young girl was going to give the chest of drawers to the couple whose items were being auctioned. But once her grandfather started bidding, I began to think it could be his & his wife’s so many years prior. This really touched my heart ❤
Thank you ❤️
Wonderful just absolutely wonderful !!!😇😇😇😇😇😇😇If you could only see the big smile my face ,and the sheer joy that feels my heart ,soul ,and spirit from hearing this story !🙂
Thank you Stacy, I’m so happy you enjoyed it, have a blessed day
Good Saturday mornin', JD! You've brought us another fine story friend and it's easy to tell you put a lot of work and time into each one! Enjoy your weekend and I'll see you on the next one.
Thanks so much Scott, hope you have a great Saturday my friend
🩷💕🧡🐈🐾 I love your storytelling!🥰
Your channel is one of the very rare few that I share in conversation with people to check out and listen to…💕
I look forward to your stories… Thank you for sharing…🥰💕🐈
Thank you so much Susan ❤️
This is a really good one. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you ❤️
Aw! The Captain bought back what he lost years ago to give back to his wife. What a touching “gift.” What a great story! Thank you JD.
Thank you Sharon !
Yippee! Captain got Grandma’s chest back. Grandpa wasn’t gonna let that carpetbagger win that one. What a good ending. I hope this is true. If not, this story was played out hopefully many times. What was done to The Southerners after The Second War of Independence was absolutely pitiful. I’m afraid we’re going to see another one. Anyways, just feeling a little melancholy and teary eyed. Thanks JD. You have talent 👍
Thank you Denise, I’m so happy you enjoyed this story!
Once again, a beautiful story beautifully told. ❤
Thank you ❤️
That's a story to tug on your heart strings!
Yes ma’am
That is a fine story. It had me crying and laughing at the same time! Lord have mercy. Thank you Sir.
thank you Wade!
It's not fair to make this little old lady cry! Wonderful story! It did bring a tear to my eye!
❤️
What a awesome story. I loved it. I love your stories sir. By far my favorites I have heard on CZcams. God bless you and your whole family sir...🙏❤🙏❤🙏
Thank you so much brother
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.
Me too friend, I was also fascinated by old photos and furniture at my granny’s house when I was a youngster
When I was a teen, we were visiting grandma's sister and out in the barn was a box of old family photos. She gave them to me! Eventually, all but a handful have been identified. 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.......
As usual, a great story.....told well. I wish more stories with happy endings were around nowadays.
Thank you for the memories this brought back and......lessons learned. 💜💜☮️
Thank you Sherrie, have a blessed day
What a lovely story. It truly warmed my heart this morning. Thank you so much.
Thank you Melissa, have a wonderful day

You never let me down JD. It’s as I know you, because I have heard stories like this from my grandfather and I’m an old man.
Great memories my friend, have a blessed day
If I said I didn’t have tears in my eyes when I found out that the old man bought back his brides chest of drawers she lost so many years ago I’d be lying. Beautiful story ❤️
Thank you so much ❤️
As someone who has learned something of furnituremaking in appalachia this story struck a chord in my soul.
❤️
Wonderful story. It really bought back some memories. I have my grandmothers Singer sewing machine and a pickle jar that her brother made a wooden top for. Both are well over 100 years old. Thank you.
❤️
So many stories, few can tell 'em like you, JD. Bless you & yours❤

Another amazing story. I had to sell the truck my father and I built to move home from California after the military. My father passed a couple of years ago. I miss my dad and that truck. 49 Chevy Pickup with a deluxe cab. I relate too much to your storys.
❤️
Nearly every time I hear a story it always has such a heart felt meaning seems to me the Appalachian folk was so very humble and genuine kind loving folk
Thank you my friend

That made me cry, what a great story
Thank you Ava ❤️
I am from the deep South. The stories of poverty and loss are the same. I have always felt a deep kindred spirit with the Appalachian people because our stories are much the same.
We made moonshine, suffered the atrocities inflicted by the Northerners, lived without benefit of medicine and doctors.
No one had a fat animal. So, all fat horses were considered to be pretty horses.
All animals, just like all people, had to work to eat. There was no supporting a horse or cow, even a dog, that didn't serve to help put food on the table.
It gives me a Vastly deeper appreciation for what most people in modern times would turn their noses up at.
You are right, many of my ancestors received land grants in Mississippi and they took the ways of the mountains with them. out of curiosity? Where are you located?
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller. Very southeast Texas, butt up against Louisiana
This was so heart warming.
Thank you 🙏
Love this story!!
Thank you!
Fine story! Thank you!
Peace and roses,
Deb the TN Scary Lady
Thank you ❤️
I ❤ This Channel!😊
Thank you Lana ❤️
That al.ost made me cry. Great story
Thanks Beth
Very sad! I've been told this story many times by my now deceased mother: when she was in her late teens or early 20s, she stood to inherit a long time family home when our little family had to move to CA from WA. When we were able to move back home, the house had been taken over by a family member illegally and that home had been chock full of family heirlooms. My poor mother never was allowed to gain back that home! :(( There is a thief in every single family! Know that and safeguard your property especially from bad family members!!
Well said
Great Story Thanks
Thank you!
Good story, JD
Thank you John, have a great day brother
