Life of a Disabled in the 1900s ~ Abandoned House of an Unfortunate French Lady

Wow- the greatest lessons I learn from your videos is - at some time in my life NONE of what I own will matter to anyone. I fully understand material things are worthless

[@paranormalpineapple1928]

I wonder what will happen to all the things i cherish after i die.

[@ForbiddenChocolate]

I understand why you feel that way, but I disagree. The things that bring you joy, that are sentimental, or that you find especially useful for a particular reason, those things have worth to you. Of course, in the end, they are still only things, and some of the items that you treasure most may not have any value to your family members. But some things that you don't consider special at all might be treasured by someone who loves you after you're gone. I think value, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. 😉

Where did you find this interesting information?

[@clairehowell3951]

Could you find what happened to the children !!! Thanks

[@louisalouisa959]

@@clairehowell3951 Inheritance law in France is regulated, an inheritance is specific to each file. On average, the delay is six months. The heirs are required to pay the inheritance tax. In the event of late succession, interest of 0.20% per month is due, addition of a penalty of 10% more, if the delay exceeds six months. Considering the state of abandonment of the house of M.R and M. Terray, I believe that the succession never took place. Because success costs more than the good itself. Or maybe the expenses of the retirement home of Madame Terray were supported by the state, in this case it is the town hall of places which recovers the good. It is for these reasons in France there are many abandoned goods

@@louisalouisa959 thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Well, heyy dear Lesley, that is quite a special looking room in this picture. - On one hand I can see in this room very beautiful furniture with quite unique features and very colourful. - Also a lot of smaller antiques are drawing my attention like these decorative jars and vases. - Some paintings on the wall seem to have war motivs, - how strange to hang such pictures in the own living room! I am so very excited, what you, dear Lesley, are going to tell us about this highly interesting location. - On the other hand this photographic part of your picture with lady hiding her face behind a book and with the clearly visible leg prosthesis is very irritating and deeply touching. Probably a very tragical drama in the life of this lady?!? - Peace and kindest regards from very rainy and quite cold Switzerland.

Often times the couple would have separate rooms. Especially with Madam being disabled would need room to get around. As well sometimes one bedroom was used in spring and summer months because it was cooler. The other side of the house in fall and winter as it was warmer with less wind on that side of the house. There are alot of old victorian homes with stories like that where i live.

The photo of the disabled lady at the beginning looks like it’s around the early 1900s…. Or early 1910s - so thinking she was born @1890s?? - She was at least a teen. Did you say her husband passed in 2009? And she was then moved to a home? If I do the math right, this means she was around 120 years old??? Was she that old?

[@nysigal]

That's what I'm wondering. The timeline doesn't work. WWI started 1914. If the husband served, he would have been born late 1800s as well. Even if he signed up young, and at the end in 1918, he would have been at about 120 in 2009.

[@DrStrangeSpock]

Good job compared to another's tour. My critique involves a few points. 2 spaces you ignored which I don't like. The dining room full of antiques had a partially open door with panes of glass showing sunlight you passed by and was probably the bathroom. The kitchen had a back room pantry full of charred stuff with door open if table moved a bit would be accessible. The fire was probably all over the black ash piled stove top and probably burned a lot of grease that filled the rooms and got her taken to a home. There is no indication of an electric chair on stairs as there would be many bolt holes etc from it and it would have to turn the corner 90%! Way too expensive. The dark brown mark along the wall you said was evidence was probably from the hands steadying against the wall as they went up and down holding the rail on the other side. The white power conduit was not for other than power into kitchen. The artificial legs clearly had man sized feet and were the husband's who probably lost them in a war. That was his room ..her room had the small women's shoes with heels by the window and that bed was not trashed by a dog scraping as they do like his decayed bed was.

Some people who lose a limb will have that problem. Or it could be cancer or other arthritis at her age. Various things and she suffered most likely. Such an interesting home. The life of another who has children move away leaving parents alone to fend for themselves in older years. The parent may have needs or whatever it may be and the children want to move on and forget them. The fire may have caused her to move. Social Services may have gotten involved. She may be fought the children before about not wanting to leave and after her husband passed away she may have felt as long as she was still home, she would sense his presence in some way> The letters may have been from the children and her name may have been on one of them? The woman's first name. Wonder why his gravestone was left at the home? It was never placed on the site? Perhaps it was money issues to finish up the work? Keep safe.

The prosthetic lower legs @22:45 are BOTH right legs- I believe. Look at the foot part and you will see they are "right foot" shoes. One is a spare, or older. So likely the woman had a right leg amputation though I cannot tell if it was below the knee or above the knee..(guessing below the knee as you can see where her knee would go amongst the straps and openings). EDIT. @25:18 the prosthesis in the closet is also right foot.

I am impressed by your respect of their home & belongings ~

[@melinakristinmercury9586]

This video was in a way sad, I think of the woman who lost her legs in those days, and had to use those terrible proteces, that must hurt a lot. It was many lovley thing in the house the bed, the enormes painting, and that very special food-stow. But all seems so dark and sad, yeah maybee a fire there or much dust from the fire mg all the black bottle in the cabinet…..but you are very calm, respectful and you have a nice sooming voice, you and your friend did a great job…..keep doing that, stay safe, and take care……love from Norway 😊

Some of this stuff is extremely valuable .. would rather it be reused or recycled somehow instead of rot into the ground

At 9:22 those holes are from a beetle, most probably a powderpost beetle. The beetles eat the wood...the spiders eat the beetles.

[@omarhamid3638]

Love your information that you find. But it is your voice that makes it!

[@ramona_rami5643]

What an interesting place with all its memories left behind! Every detail about the house and the people's life is carefully presented as usual! Thanks for the lovely episode!!!

[@Mzen7]

I can't believe they forgot about this beautiful place, all the furniture the clock!! Everything! The kitchen omg!! I Wish someone fix it for a museum they can charge entrance and used the money to fixed, I'm sure the lady's husband would break his heart to see his house like this and he never wanted this to happen.

[@marcelaterzi288]

This one really looks haunting

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

✅ yes, it does 👍👋

[@angelaclements1244]

Some of those beautiful pieces of furniture should be saved and restored. A tragic waste

[@teresaeiker3720]

I like your mature approach to exploration. However, your constant reference to the abundance of arachnids distracted and gave me the heebie jeebies. Now I'll watch it again. Sound off. 😻.

[@bettyprussia9777]

Such a nice voice you present the houses with respect and dignity! You are a wonderful example of the good in people ❤

[@traciemyers4137]

Beautiful. Evoked deep emotions. Thank you for your hard work.
