[@valerierichardson873]

At 17:17 when you pulled that necklace out of the brown box, my heart skipped a beat! I have the same necklace and the matching bracelet that belonged to my mom. I’m 63 and I wore it to my prom when I was 16. Probably not valuable in terms of money but definitely vintage and very sentimental to me. I imagine my own son would throw it away, todays generation doesn’t want this sort of thing, but you just loaded me up on memories of my sweet mom and the day she fastened the necklace around my neck for prom!

[@butterycacti]

Tell your son about your necklace and what it means to you!!! I’m sure he would love to know and might save it for some special in his life!!!

There was an adult cat heading toward the house right when he was approaching, which probably means a feral mama cat had her litter in there.

yeah, i saw a large black cat heading to the house when he was in the yard I saw one where a cat had been left in an abandoned house and it had curled up on a pillow and died the guy had blurred it and said unfortunately they run across dogs and cats that had been abandoned with the house or got in somehow and couldn't get out, broke my heart.

[@marcanglin477]

Jeremy, as you explore abandon homes your empathy touches our hearts with memories of those we have lost. Mrs. Smith's children if they are living showed little respect for their mother, and the family home for leaving it like this. Sadly this is becoming a reality in today's world. Hopefully some distant family member might see your video and bring closure for her.

Thank you for sharing this woman’s story. It is good that someone remembers her, even in this small way, and important that her story is told to remind us all to look after the people in our lives who won’t always be with us. You video is incredibly thoughtful and thought-provoking. You are a kind, loving soul. Please let us all know if you ever discover what happened to her children that they never did anything with her home or her possessions. All being in the military, I have to wonder if they, too, are gone.

[@Super_Sair]

Wow, that is incredible. Makes me wonder if perhaps the boys passed away or were somehow financially or physically prevented from coming. I couldn't imagine anyone who has what appears to be such a loving mother not making it back otherwise. Thanks for sharing this amazing time capsule!

As the owner of a little online vintage shop I loved seeing all the knick knacks (the mermaids, fish and swans in the bathroom especially). It gives me a little glimpse into the past and the way things used to be done(decor-wise). On the other hand It's sad to imagine that after devoting her life to taking care of her family that she was left all alone with her stuff. I hope my kids will forever be in my life and one day, when I go, they will take a few of my cute collectibles/art to remember me by and sell or donate the rest. Family first- stuff second. I hope her family sees this video and makes the trip to tie up the loose ends. Go and honor their momma and sell some of the stuff that still has value before it's looted or bulldozed.

This is so sad and touching. Can't imagine why her sons wouldn't take the time to come home and clean her house, go through her personal items, pictures clothes, etc..

What a great walk through. So many sweet items and great colors. I love the green chenille spread , Instead of a sad place, I think of it as a mosoleum honoring the people who lived here. It might be deteriorating, but it is still a museum of sorts that shows the family, the times, the fads and fashions of the period. And most importantly a look into an American family. The retro furnishings are amazing and fun. I'm guessing this house had a LOT of love and laughter.

The old Singer Sewing machine you found is similar to one that my mother had, and it has a hinged top on it (I could see the hinges in your video) and you swing open that top wooden panel by the hinges and there inside the table itself is the sewing machine. It is then pivoted up for use and a small wooden panel is pulled down to support the weight of the sewing machine. When finished using it, it could be stowed away just as you found it. I would never have known this if my Mom didn't teach me to sew on the one she had. Beautiful video, beautiful home, and you are a great explorer who always shows respect to the home owners.

Beautiful video and home. The sewing machine tables are definitely considered antiques now and is probably worth something.

Thanks for your videos. Your exploring gives me the chance to go along with you. I used to do exploring many years ago. Me and my clan went to an abandoned home of an old man who died in it. His house was left full, as the lady's home in your video. No one came to claim his items or home.My legs don't work as they should. I'm now handicapped. It's a way to get out of the house. Thanks 👍

A very respectful tour of a sad situation. House and cars have not been trashed at all. At 24:37 we see a roller organ. I had one just like it that worked. This is a hand cranked organ with two bellows. The round cylinder with nails protruding slowly revolves and presses the oval organ keys behind it. The crank has been removed but can be seen to the right inside the case. To play a different song, the "cob" is removed by pulling the round knob on the right. This is a table model of what some would call a "hurdy-gurdy".

For everyone commenting about how can people leave all of this behind. My brother was the executor of my grandmother’s estate. The amount of work that goes into that is huge. Meeting with attorneys, clearing out the house, dividing up any money left to relatives, getting legal documents signed, selling the house, contacting banks credit card companies and govt agencies of the death, paying off outstanding debt, setting up a bank account for incoming funds and paying any ongoing bills, people breaking in the house to steal the copper pipes, etc. He almost had a nervous breakdown over it and we weren’t close with my dad’s mom and she didn’t have much at all. And a lot of the time the older folks let their homes fall into disrepair so even if they sold it they might not get much. And the location of the home may have been desirable at one point but the neighborhood goes to crap.

[@marywillis5986]

What you said is so true! Sadly most folks don’t realize this. Also, I noticed that a lot of these places came from the depression era or boomer generations. They were thought to keep everything. Always so much trinkets and knick- knacks. The younger generations usually aren’t Knick-knack people. Most of them are grown with full homes already. The sad truth a lot of these houses already need a ton of repairs to start with. As we age, we can’t do the same things as we did younger. So many of these homes haven’t been repaired since or updated since the 70’s or 80’s. I am 45 and I can honestly say my mom is a pack rat. She is from the boomer generation as is my husbands mom who an actual hoarder. We both agreed we’d take pictures or small meaningful things. As for my husbands mom, we agreed that most of her stuff has been trashed as it’s riddled is cat urine. We actually convinced my mom to downsize to a small house with few possessions. Her house will be locked and auctioned immediately. Profits will be sold between us 3 daughters. My mom is incredibly smart and knows what happens when people pass. Her father passed in 92 and his farm sat in probate for over 15 years. Our children want even less than we have. I make it a point to throw things out. I also don’t do knick-knacks and trinkets. I can tell you first hand, I live in a 1920’s house and something is always breaking. In 5 years our home is paid for and we plan on downsizing and having even less. Stuff is just stuff and you can’t take it when you pass.

The lady seemed to be very organized and careful with her many things - drawers containing neatly folded items, everything with a place - all of this despite 23 years of being left desolate. It sure is a mystery that none of her beloved family came back to get mementos or see to the property.

[@lorettakeiser1672]

I wish I could live there

[@martina21953]

At first I thought that was her wedding dress but the tag on it leads me to think that she bought it brand new because it reminded her of her wedding dress. Who knows? All I know is that she really, really loved her family.

I'm sorry but PLEASE give me a kitten update or I'm going to lose my mind 😭I just can't handle a baby crying while you're looking at a fridge. 😰This stressed me out. I'm hoping it was dealt with off camera but I need to know 😭

[@BradyGurl79]

You really celebrated her life how you made this. I think this was the saddest video I've watched of yours. You are incredibly respectful when you visit these places. This whole video I was thinking about the little kitten. I kept looking for it. Other people did 2. I wasn't the only one. Ha, ha. Keep making great videos everyone loves them.

[@CoCoEyes]

It is surprising that the house was not closed up by someone .. family or the state. I have seen several people comment about the children not taking care of her or the home… I’m going to guess they may have passed away before she did.. perhaps even military related. It’s hard to believe this house wasn’t vandalized or boarded up. Thanks for showing us the inside and being so gentle with her home ♥️RIP Mrs Smith

[@florabynum9090]

This is what I felt as well. Maybe her children didn’t live to make it back home. We will never know.

You've done a great video. I can relate as I lived in my childhood house for four years after my mother died. I left everything as it was in her bedroom for well over a year before I started to get rid of all her stuff. It's very hard to do that as so many memories come back in the process.

@kimdavis, Yes, exactly! My brother had one too. It was beige with a brown top. It was huge inside and rode smooth, with the 8 track tapes. It's a shame no one claimed her belongings, her children, or her extended family.

The house itself speaks so much about the widowed left behind by the man she truely loved .I have so much admiration to women who devoted her life to her beloved family .I'relate myself to the woman in this house I'm a widow for 36 years just like her I love my family so much I enjoyed my grown up beautiful grand children .Thanks god for caring widows and urphans .

I can’t understand why no one claimed her home or came to wrap up her life. When my parents died, I had to close up their home. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, but out of respect and love for them, I felt it was important.

[@phoenixman8569]

The year before dad died he was moved to a nursing home, and since I had no brothers or sisters so it was up to me to clear out my dad's home mostly alone and prepare it for sale. Even though dad was still alive at the time it was still a difficult thing for me to do, i would have moved in there myself but it was a seniors mobile home park and I was not old enough to be allowed to live there, my dad died the following year in 2014...

[@libertygiveme1987]

What I don't get, why didn't her sons at least take the photos?! I mean, why don't these kids take the memories that they grew up with?! Certain Pictures, and items that remind them of their childhood. I TREASURE the items that I have that my mom wanted me to have, and I come from a family of 12!!!!

[@MichelleWasyluk9]

Maybe they did take stuff that meant a lot to them, and you just can’t tell because there’s so much left.

[@Igylp]

Hi guys, I found quite a lot of info from this exploration. The most shocking is that I believe her daughter lives next door to this property. Another one of her son lives only 21 minutes away. To me this is mind boggling. Being that close and not come to take a few pictures at least... sad.

[@ann4025]

What happened? Maybe someone from her family can just come and put the whole estate in an auction and donate it to any charitable institution if the family is not interested.

[@1988sawa]

😮😮

[@the_beat_thief]

I think I found it too. I saw the Education certificate from Muscogee and started my search with that. The certificate has an almost legible name, nice camera. If we came to the same determination, there was a son who died not too long ago and was in the Navy. A brother of his died before him, and he has 2 living brothers. A sister died before him and he still has 2 living sisters. I used that person as the backbone of my search. The property is 1.5 hours outside of Atlanta if it's the same one. You can pretty much only see woods looking in the direction of that house, but aerial boundary lines seem to show woods around what is most likely the sister's house you mentioned - the house that may have been Mrs. Smith's is kind of in a field and has a long driveway with no property value or lot assignment. Going by the shape and placement of the wooded area, it looks like the field house was hers and it has a new roof. Hey, I was bored and interested. I think what I found is the same place, and I'm generally pretty good when it comes to tracking things/people down online. It's like working on digital puzzles that can span decades or more. If I'm right, I tracked all of the info down in about an hour and a half using county, obituary, real estate listings starting with that certificate.

[@mcb6180]

If the daughter lives on the property next door, that could explain why the house hasn't been vandalized and ransacked. My guess is they know it is there but has just been easier for them to know it's there and think they'll do something with it ... someday. But someday never comes.

[@SuperRodriguez2005]

2 things 1. That singer desk, opens up and the sewing machine would be stored in the desk, u wouldnt see it unless u opened it 2. Did you rescue the kittens?

[@Lkmurillo]

That house is definitely a story Time piece. It hasn’t looked like it was updated since the 70s. Super cool

[@ouiji1963]

Amazing Jeremy and yes, as you said very sad. I don't understand why families don't come to get the belongings. At least donate to people that need it. Looking forward to the next video 🙂

[@evancorzine2876]

I bet you the sewing machine was still there inside the cabinet. I have one similar in my home. If you lift up the lid on the top of the desk the machine was very likely recessed down in the cabinet.

[@beverlysandifer548]

This video is making me so sad. How could they just abandon everything that meant so much to their mom? Thank you, Jeremy, for being so respectful.

[@denehardy949]

It does seem sad but I can understand how for some people don’t feel very sentimental about things and places. I guess having a life in the military could make you even less sentimental if it means you’re moving location a lot.

@abandondednashville Thank you for the share! As someone in the industry all I can think is, Oh my gah how amazing would it be to use all these pieces of history in a period piece!! I think this story is worth looking into more for sure! Because Guys! 😫 we are leaving such mean comments about the kids, but absolutely none of us know what she was like as a person! Please allow me to play advocate for the voiceless for a moment… Not to speak I’ll of the dead, but what if she was a horrible mother? Horrible mothers have some of the cutest, most well maintained houses you’ve ever seen!! Not to mention they LOVE to fill their house with the smiling faces of their loved ones, so they can write a different narrative in their own mind about what life was like for them. 😬 dark I know, but true. What if she was a horrible person in general? Don’t you find it odd that not one of her church friends, stepped forward to claim anything either. I’m just saying we’re sitting here demonizing the children, but we don’t know a thing about them. Or perhaps she was so wonderful people just couldn’t bare to disrupt her stuff… It looks very much like she had a daughter too, why is there no mention of her I wonder? It just seems like there’s more of a story here, how very odd that the house has sat all these years and no one has ever even ransacked it. PS-my post is loving, not malicious. I just felt bad that we thought the kids were bad kids, but it’s rare that a kid doesn’t like his mother for no reason, you know? I just find this particular post a juicy one, full of Whys? Which may or may not have an easy answer. Please do a follow up for us inquiring minds!! 🙏🏼💜
