It is heartbreaking to see that the children and grandchildren didn't seem to want any of these treasures that meant so much to Mary and Elmer.

They didn't even bother to do anything with the stuff or the house. Just left it all.

[@lindatimmons3675]

@@RetroCaptain ...... It's not the responsibility of Bros of Decay to do anything with all the things left. The children and grandchildren should have the decency and respect enough to at least remove personal items and photos. It's heart breaking to see all the photos left. I'd love to have photos of my grandparents and their life. Photos can now be scanned to computer then downloaded to a flash drive or thumb drive for keeping. It would be better than just leaving EVERYTHING to the elements.

Kids now days don't care about family pictures. Family history. Sad. New generation's. Most don't want their own baby pictures.

[@Quark.Lepton]

Before I’d pass judgement on the children, antecedents, I’d want to do a little more research-it’s possible they may have died sometime before Mary. First, I’d look for papers that may mention the illness/passing/funeral announcements, etc., of family members and so forth. Perhaps even more saddening is that no one may ever read my comment here-or anyone else’s-concerning the family/events.

[@barbaragravely920]

Not jus that the family thinks those pictures are there to stay i know i left a bunch back home and noone sent me them back:(after i lost mmy mom and her lousy so called husband.

Hello my name is Jenna Beale this is my great grandmothers home. She was placed in a nursing home and sadly passed away. There are multiple reasons why we had to leave the things and why the house is abandoned. We are not negligent and love our family very much. Please think before you make assumptions or comment rude things about the family. Please enjoy the memories as we did but respectfully, thank you.

This wouldn't happen if humans were willing to live in a healthy interconnected society, made of close-knit communities that would support and value each member. There could be centers dedicated to history and storytelling. Everyone could record their voices and their personal memories, sharing how it was while they were growing up & leaving critical knowledge (gardening, survival skills etc.. for future generations. And their pictures would be available for all to access- to put a face with the the voices. I fear that soon, there will be millions of such ghost-homes as this- abandoned and left with fractured memories inside. So very sad...😔

[@Chahlie]

I thought once of writing a small book of 'lessons' for people who come after but realised that the knowledge is mostly out of date. Tips on how to make the butter turn quickly. How to tell if a cow has milk fever or if it's something else. Changing the leathers in the piston pump. Even how to tie the cow's tail to her leg to keep from getting swatted while milking. This is all just useless now. Even garden things- the kids all eat store bought, they aren't interested. Even the recipe for the loaf of 6 strand braided bread I made every single night when they were growing up, they have no desire for it. When we get old we realise just how very unimportant many things really were, which seemed important at the time.

[@cathrinewhite7629]

@@Chahlie I think your information is vital. For example, think of "The Carrington Event" of 1859. The sun put out a high level X flare, and the technology of the time was toast. It burned through the newly invented telegraph lines- wherever they were located. Now we are light years more dependent on our technology. Carrington Event type flares happen every 150-200 years. If we don't have instructions for & knowledge of "the old ways", we are up the creek without a paddle. No one has the whole picture on a subject, so those with some knowledge are doing our species a service by recording it. I am 60 now (61 next month), with one son who knows more of the practical matters because his dad taught him (& me) car mechanics, carpentry, cooking and other skills. He was taught the old ways by his dad-& had I known he would have such a short life, I would have insisted that he start a book or manual for us.😔 So your info is vital! I'm thinking of starting a collab, for production of an electronic document- one that we could all edit and add to...kind of a wikipedia of common sense & common skills. Then anyone with foresight could print it out. It probably should be etched in stone! LOL, but that's another project. Heather it is so sad that most don't think of such contingencies. You are a treasure of knowledge, unacknowledged of this by those who most need to learn it. I really believe that will reverse- for good or for bad.🙏🏼

[@raycooper3463]

The brick behind the woodstove is there for heat/fire resistance. Codes vary, depending on where one lives, but brick is good at blocking heat, and when a woodstove gets going, it puts off a LOT of heat. The reason the wall is torn apart in the shower is because vandals wanted to salvage any copper in the house and sell it to recycling businesses.

The pieces of our lives we leave behind are memories etched in our hearts forever :) thank you Danny and Lesley for sharing this sweet farmhouse with us.

[@RetroCaptain]

Hello guys. I remember seeing this house explored by someone else at least seven years ago. It was not much different though less dug through. I think the electrical panel was operating and lighting was on. The stereo (record player) was on the TV. Many items and the style is similar to my mother's mother. I can't remember if the art was still on the wall, I'm thinking it was. The picture of Emily and the school or church pictures were the daughter. The film items set up high are "Previewers" for editing purposes. The actual Projectors look like a suitcase & the screen a long tube on a stand. They're missing and I don't remember seeing them the last time either, (or her cameras, which would have been a Polaroid One Step (circa 1977) (from memory) & a mini "110"(example Hanimex like I had, or Vivitar, Kodak, perfect for travel). I also had one as well). Both were "point and shoot" no focus type camera. I think the mystery easy for me to solve why it sits 18 years. Emily and her husband currently own it and it will be handed over to the grandkids when they pass away. The "children" will be around 80 at least. I agree it's sad that the pictures sit fading away which is what literally happens when they sit on a table in front of a window...fade away to blank like the memory. The grandkids probably have no idea what to do with them and don't recognize the people except for the grandparents. They're probably busy with instagram. The "stone wall" was a very necessary thing - the Chimney - I hope the grandkids show up and look after it before idiots burn it down like happened around here.

Houses in the US have been built with clothes closets in the bedrooms since the early nineteen hundreds, unlike England where people buy a large piece of furniture to hang garments in that also had drawers. I forget what they call this piece , but it takes up a wall. Originally closet were small in bedrooms , but over time have gotten larger and larger.

[@drakiana8717]

I believe the photos left behind shows how little we value tangible memories anymore. It irritates me that we really don’t have cameras that hold film. Everything has gone to technology and in my opinion is easily “deleted”, as though the people never existed. I have raised two sets of children. My first four children lived to the teenage years, and were unfortunately lost in auto accidents on their way to school, my three girls in 2000, my son and two of his friends on their way to the technology center in 2001. My husband was lost in 2020, but our “second” family, two girls, one ours one adopted, still here with me for a while yet, are 17, and 16. The amount of memories of the first is vast, but of the second very few. The reason isn’t because of lack of pictures taken, but because electronic devices have taken those memories to technology heaven with them. It infuriates me that I don’t have these memories to give them. But in reality they have been programmed to a throw away world. None of what 45 year olds and up had valued matters anymore. Most walk away from houses that weren’t put in their names as inheritance taxes usually take all value it would give, banks don’t want to clean them, agenda 2030 has everyone in 15 minute cities. So it becomes a throw away house, that was “a home”. Nothing of value to the youth of today. So sad, but in truth when you die, only your better half valued you and your lifetime. God grants us our growing and learning space here on this plane. He was gracious and honorable with his love for our growth in spirit. But man’s world is harsh, cruel, and cold. I miss my other half, he was my world. The world has lost its colors and meaning. I am going through my home and cleaning so my girls don’t have to. But have learned, my life, our lives, only matter to God and you.

Pets. Chickens. Pigs. Cows. At least now people can save them electronically. It seemed such a waste, and honestly nobody will ever be interested in the sunflowers in 1986, or the heart shaped potato in 1992....

I've got to say that I cry almost every time I watch your videos, and that's no disrespect to you Lesley and Denny. But I imagine in my head all these happy people living their lives, doing things that they enjoy, and raising their children! This couple had a wonderful life and seem to truly have loved each other and I imagine Mary ( I hope that I didn't get the name wrong) spending those last years alone! I believe that we all continue on past our lives in our stories and I am the keeper of these 2 spinster sisters life stories who lived together and looked after cats which people threw over their fence! But apart from that they shared many, many stories with me but no one wants to hear about them anymore and, because they are the last of the linage of, quite possibly, one of the Duke's of Bedford in England and his French mistress, who's name their father took and consequently so did his daughters, their name will, when I die, l never again be remembered!. I think that's why I am always so moved by your videos guys because you keep these memories alive by taking us with you on these voyages of discovery! We walk through these places with you! I don't know if anyone reading this has ever watched the movie "The Others" with Nicole Kidman" but I loved that movie because it mentions the "Other"people who's history is shared in the home, by many generations. I'm sorry that this is so long but thank you for reading! Love the channel.

What a fascinating story of the two spinsters! Could you record their back history and as many stories as you can remember, then give a copy to the local historical society? Just a thought to keep their memories alive....so happy they took care of the apparently unwanted cats-I raised 8 kittens (two litters left in my yard by a feral cat), and am now enjoying life with the last surviving one who will be 19 this Oct. 😺💕 It saddens me too to see all the abandoned memories and things created with love. Thank you for sharing your story.

@Nancy Carlson It's funny you know, and not in a humorous way, how animals can tell what kind of person you are and whether it's safe to come and try and find a home! I'm a real cat person but when Ethyl, the older sister who would be 91 if she was still alive, and Winifred the younger sister would be 87 and turning 88 next month, were alive I was raising my children and working a lot and I didn't have the time then that I have now to put tiwards animals, but these days my 5 cats, all rescues, are my world. Ethyl and Wyn were born in Sydney, Australia in the 1930's into poverty and they lived in the inner city in a place near Ultimo, but I can't remember what the town was sorry and they shared how their father always seemed old and the only photo I've seen of him he WAS old. They were not close with him! Their mother would clean the local Catholic Church and Convent and the nuns would make the girls beetroot sandwiches and occasionally, if their mother was there on a Sunday afternoon, they would give the girls the remains of their roast luncheon. The sisters were NOT people people but their neighbours knew they loved cats and so kittens and mothers etc would be dropped over the fence to them and they'd come outside and find them. When their mother finally died the sisters sold the property and moved as far away from Sydney as they could which still had an active train line. So in the 1970's they moved with 20+ cats to their home at Blackheath in the Blue Mountains. I could go on for hours but I'm just going to share the reason why they spent their lives in ill health. Their father went to the pub on a Saturday afternoon, and then, and ONLY then, did their mother give them the castor oil that would allow them to do their Number 2's! True, they were NOT allowed to go to the toilet for a longer visit on any other occasion in case their father needed to use the facilities, and he would fly into a rage if one of them was in there!. NO surprise that both of them died of bowel obstruction related issues! They've been gone 25 and 21 years, and I will inquire as to whether the Historical Museum has an interest in their stories! I don't want them to disappear from history! I hope that you have a great day Nancy. Thanks for your reply!

@@michellesartori6695 Wonderful to hear more of the sisters' story and of you and your cats, too. I believe my cats rescued me and my 3 children, as they came into our lives 5 months after their dad left us - they drew us together and gave us a common goal - they were with us/me through so much and made me laugh when I needed it the most. You take care and keep on loving those cats, Michelle.

[@michellesartori6695]

@Nancy Carlson Animals do help us to carry on when we don't want to! I was in the exact same situation as you after my husband left me and my 5 children so I know what you mean! At the moment my 5 cats are what's holding me here. You take care too!

Thank you for the great story. Sounds like it would be a great book.

Leslie, you’re a great narrator!

That's called an 8-track tape

Mary was much like my mother who passed away in 2015 on the very same date that she was born. She left behind thousands of photos that she took throughout her life of 73 yrs. I have them all in boxes and bags in my closet. Still haven't gone through them all. My mother also had dementia 😢 I always love your videos guys. Love u both 😘😘

[@rjborremans4033]

That one item on the top shelf that looked like it had a small monitor and the side reels for film...reminds me of my old video splicer or film editor from back in the day 😊

[@ilyb3052]

They probably tore through the shower wall to steal the copper pipes.

[@Kate11.11]

Thank you loved the way you told their story. I cannot believe family did not want the photos! So very sad. Great explore Lesley & Denny thank you!!! 💙

Hello, happy new year 🎉

[@kriscarson3461]

That would not have been Mary’s graduation if she passed at 90 years old. Maybe her daughters.
