This is the most detailed information I have ever found on the Wade family. I have visited the house where Jennie was killed several times over the years, but have always walked away feeling I found only a few facts leading up to that fateful day. Thank you for the incredible history relating to the Wade family.
Very nice, thank you. I’ve known the basic story of Jennie and all, have visited her sister’s house a couple times too. But you really fleshed out much more about her life and background. I’ll always find it so tragic that she never learned her sweetheart’s fate, nor he, hers. I actually stayed in that Farnsworth House once, I remember they told us how the sniper used the attic as his perch.
This is a wonderful video. I always wanted to know more about Jennie Wade and her family. It is great that all the houses were visited - I saw the three houses last visit.
This is where Jenny was killed but that is not Jenny wades home she was visiting her sister to help out as her sister just had a baby. Ms. Wade lived closer to town
My Grandmother ADA WETZEL KEEFER purchased and rented out a boarding house and small retail shop directly across Baltimore Street where the road takes a very sharp turn....in 1958 after my Grandfather Jerre Keefer died of a heart attack (the family homestead was a farm in Mummasburg).... Many Wonderful memories of the 'Jennie Wade House' and heartfelt story of her shortened life and that of her love Mr Skelly,etc,etc.... Obviously my lifelong passion for HISTORY can be traced to growing up on Baltimore Street... Unfortunately that home was just recently destroyed in a huge fire caused in a fatal automobile accident......GOD BLESS✝️🛐🇺🇸❤
This is just a tragic, horrible story what happened to that property. Some man was driving 3 times the speed limit there and lost control and crashed his car into that building and it blew up, and caused that terrible fire. Just sad, and so unnecessary.
@@brianshawkey2910 Totally appreciate your kind sympathy....will pass along to my Keefer family you kind sentiments.. Stay cool during this summer 2021 heatwave....
Jennie Wade was a Patriot and should be remembered , when most were hiding in fear and rightfully so, Jennie wasn’t 🤗🇺🇸💕🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Enjoyed this thank you so much
Great video. I make RU-vid videos as well. Some history on my channel. I was just in Virginia. So much history. I will come back. You have a great insightful video. Thanks for sharing
