The 6 Spinster Walker Sisters, and why they are legendary-Smoky mountains Tennessee 

Praise God, prayers for her❤

I am a Walker born and bred,and yes we are strong people.

Wow, 😁😁, that is beautiful🌻🌻🌻

My grandmother who we called Tyanne *pronounced tiny" lived to be 102! My other 98. Amazing women both!

Inspiring. Thank you!

May you find more comfort than sadness in the sad days ahead as you remember the times you enjoyed together. Your sister would probably prefer to be remembered with those tender and maybe even funny memories than sad ones. May God bless you and comfort you with His presence.

Yes Lisa, 🌹remember the happy times. I’ve lost all my family , even my son, except for my sister. It gets pretty lonely 🙏🙏🙏

Well my parents were not quite as prolific , with only 5 children, of which I am the oldest. We also grew up poor but we didnt really know it, until we were older, and by then we didn't care. Between us all working together, we got by, and thats the way it still is. I am so sorry you are losing your oldest sister. I am 11 years older than my little brother, but we are best friends all of us. Growing up poor makes for close families, and bonds that never break in my opinion. It builds character and stops a person from being self absorbed, because there is seldom time to think of yourself! lol. I have often thought I am the oldest, good I will pass away first, but we both know life is full of surprises as is death. I find great comfort in my faith and knowing I will see my loved ones in heaven. I hope you have that comfort as well. We also lost our Dad several years back, and my mom lives with me now, and is getting older. I wish you well my friend, on the other side of this beautiful blue marble. God bless, keep and comfort you all ~ from dawn in the US

Thank you sooo much everyone for your kind words and I also love hearing about other people and their families. And it just shows how it doesn't matter where your from we all experience loss and it all hurts the same no matter what skin colour you are or what country your from or what age you are . I've had a nde so I know how happy she will be because she's home 😉😊🥰

Praying for your sister and you 🙏 ❤

I wouldn't have sold that last bit of land to send my daughter to college much less the moon..

@@PlatinumIrishrose Her daughter's education was more important than that land.

@@PlatinumIrishrose you sound like not so great of a parent, then.

I’d never sell land. Not ever. There’s other ways to get educated. You’ll never get the land back.

Or it can be a curse. Especially those of us who were of the Blueblood " breeder" sacrificers. 😢

My family came over then too, and were Loyalists during the US Revolutionary War. When they lost the war, they were exported north and the British government gave them land in whats now Ontario. You're likely to be qualified to become a United Empire Loyalist (UEL). 😊❤

@HLBear I have a lot of Loyalist ancestors who settled in the Kingston region of Ontario. Honestly I just need to get all my documentation together and pay the fee.

My grandmother of Minnesota had sisters. She was named Jesse. Her older sisters names were Tessie, and Betsy. When I got a toy rabbit for Easter, I named it Tessie Betsy Johnson, after her siblings.

They lived in the woods. I'm puzzled as to how they wouldve starved with the abundant wildlife, plus they put out a garden.

Actually the story goes, their father was captured and sent to Anderson prison camp during the civil war. He lost 100 lbs during his captivity. If it weren’t for the actions of a farmer who tossed pumpkins over the fence because he felt sorry for the starving prisoners…the Walker sisters wouldn’t have been born…. They were alive due to their father eating the scraps of pumpkins that he managed to hang onto life to later marry after the war ended and have 11 children. All thanks to pumpkins. 😊

Wagon train wife said same thing saved them heading west on the Oregon Trail

@@PossumLady8262 I believe you, but I hate the taste of anything pumpkin.

@@racerx4152 me too!

Thank you so much 🤗

My grandmother married a Fowler. We are in WV

God bless her...what a woman!

Very cool! thank you

That is so interesting, even now, at 58, loving watching Alfred Hitchcock Movies. Always appreciated his work. It’s been so many years yet now I got some time I love his work. 👍🌻

My great great grand mother was Nancy Walker

Thank you so much!

Glad you enjoyed it

I have a sincere question. I am a Southerner and “damn Yankees” is still heard down on the Gulf Coast. Sometimes in jest, sometimes not. So…is there a term y’all use for Southerners who might wind up in your neck of the woods? 🤔🤔👋🏻👋🏻

I don’t care for that level land either.

Intersting

Your right I have 5 sisters that live close I never see

Good luck with your chestnuts. 👍🏻👍🏻🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
