(upbeat music) - [Narrator] Coming up on Legacy List with Matt Paxton.

- Gorgeous.

- I know.

This is beautiful.

- [Narrator] The team travels to the hills of Eastern Pennsylvania to help a woman clean out a house that's been in her family for nearly 100 years.

- This house built me.

This house was a part of me.

- [Narrator] There are antiques and heirlooms on every floor.

- Oh, my God.

- [Narrator] And the basement surprises even Matt.

- Wow!

I'm Matt Paxton.

Let's do it, man.

My team of specialists, Jaime, Mike, and Avi, help me help people downsize their homes and settle estates.

As the largest population of baby boomers in American history transition towards retirement, they and their families face the overwhelming task of emptying their homes to move.

We help them sift through a lifetime of possessions.

- Bingo!

- Heirlooms and collectibles.

We have literally found-- - Here it is.

- [Matt] A piece of history.

To help them find the missing family treasures that mean the most to them.

- Oh, my goodness!

- [Matt] Jackie Robinson.

And along the way, they'll discover that the most important museum in the world may be in their family's basement.

- Oh.

- Oh.

- I've never seen that.

That is cool looking.

- From attics to cellars, closets to cupboards, we uncover the memories they want to preserve.

This is living history.

This is what we're here to find.

Let's go.

And discover the compelling personal and often historical stories spanning generations that are their family's legacy.

(upbeat music) - Today, we're in Swoyersville, Pennsylvania, right in the middle of coal country.

I'm here to meet Lisa Malarkey, whose family has been in this home for over a hundred years.

The house is filled with family heirlooms, and she needs our help sorting through all of it so she can put it on the market.

- [Lisa] Hi, Matt.

- Lisa, how are you?

- Nice to meet you.

I'm doing well.

- I know.

Good to finally meet you in person.

- Absolutely.

- So this is the house.

- It is.

- My great grandfather built it.

- [Matt] Okay.

- Then it went to my grandfather.

And then when he passed, it went to my father, and here we are.

This house has been the heart of my family for a long time, but you gotta get on.

You gotta move on.

And I've got a different home now.

I've got a different life, a different area, so I really need to just, I need to move on.

2015, when my mom passed, my dad, he was also getting sick as well.

He had Parkinson's.

When he died, unfortunately, in 2018, I too found out I had cancer.

I had bladder cancer.

So I had to go through treatment.

It took me about 18, 19 months.

But then COVID hit.

(chuckles) - [Matt] Okay.

- So COVID kinda of a little damper on that as well.

- Well, I can see why you called me.

- Yeah.

- [Matt] You're making the right decision to let it go.

- Yeah.

- At some point, the liability outweighs the memories.

Lisa's an awesome person.

She just powers through whatever is thrown in front of her, and she just keeps working.

(laid back music) All right.

Look at this place.

Dude, these windows.

- [Lisa] Aren't they beautiful.

- They're awesome.

- Yeah, absolutely.

We've got a couple of 'em, some in there, some in here.

- [Matt] The woodworking is actually really nice.

- [Lisa] Yeah.

So all throughout the house, the floors are hardwood floors as well.

Unfortunately, it's covered up with some carpet.

- [Matt] You've got the John F. Kennedy glasses over there.

- [Lisa] Yeah, well-- (chuckles) - That's a good Catholic family.

- Yep, definitely.

- [Matt] What was it like growing up here?

- Everyone knew my parents and my grandparents, So you had friends.

You knew where you could be and what you needed to do.

- Took care of you.

- [Lisa] Absolutely, mm-hmm.

- When they say it took a village-- - Yep.

- You lived in a village.

- Definitely.

- All right.

Oh, I love this room for a lot of reasons.

We're in an old, I guess, formal room.

- Yeah, right.

Probably was a dining room, became a bedroom.

- This is what aging in place looks like.

Dad gets moved downstairs.

- It was a little difficult to get up and down the steps, so they brought everything down here.

- Not only is this house filled with generations of stuff, but it was also flooded in the '70s, and I'm not sure that it was ever properly restored.

- [Lisa] I'm an only child.

My mom loved to have all of my stuff displayed.

- What's the mental weight of that?

- It is an obligation.

I just feel the respect of the home, and I want to just honor that and honor the fact that this house built me.

This house was a part of me.

- When a client calls me in your situation, I have to say view this is empowerment.

It's okay.

You're allowed to choose to move forward, and you've done that really well.

- Yeah.

(upbeat piano music) - Headed up to the attic.

- Yep.

- [Matt] Ah, to show this floor.

- I know.

- I love it.

I love the floor.

- It's big.

- Yes.

This is an attic.

Holy cow.

Oh, the old ice box.

Look at that.

- [Lisa] Yeah.

- [Matt] That is beautiful.

Man.

- The radios, they're my favorite.

- [Matt] Lots of radios.

Who was into the radios?

Was it your dad or your grandpa?

- [Lisa] I think it was my grandfather.

- This skateboard is magnificent.

- That was mine.

My first skateboard.

Look at the old wheels.

- Yeah.

Oh my gosh!

They're old roller skate wheels.

Who are these people here in the pictures?

- So my great grandfather and grandmother.

He's the one who-- - So the ones that started the house are there.

- Yep.

They've been up here as long as I can remember.

- All right, so what's the deal with all of this?

- Well, I gotta clean it out.

Don't know where many things are, and I'm not sure what's behind half of it.

- So what's our goal for this room?

Does this need to be, I would suggest that it's empty.

- I would love this to be empty.

- [Matt] Okay.

So that would make you feel better.

- It would.

It's the fourth floor, so it really needs to to be empty.

- Wow, I am very excited to get up here with my team.

There is some really cool stuff up here.

- Mm-hmm.

- [Matt] So how much did it flood of the house?

The whole first-- - First and second floor.

- What's the last place we need to go look at?

- (sighs) The basement.

- The basement, okay.

And that was flooded.

- It was.

Oh, absolutely.

- Okay.

(soft music) - Just watch your head.

- All right, I see it.

It is low, low, low.

All right.

- Well, here you go.

- (sniffs) I smell it already, yep.

- Yeah.

(chuckles) - Musty.

- Yep.

- Musty basement.

- [Lisa] People have been putting things down here for a hundred years.

- [Matt] It's multi-generational storage.

- [Lisa] Yeah, oh, absolutely.

- [Matt] Okay.

- [Lisa] Yeah.

- I'm all for a messy home, but this one is a little concerning.

When you get into the basement, there's lots of airborne pathogens and lots of hazards that I just don't know enough about to be comfortable sending my entire crew in here.

Is that coal?

- [Lisa] It is.

- [Matt] A 55-gallon barrel of coal.

- Yeah, absolutely.

- Look at that.

Wow.

- [Lisa] Really cool Pittston coal stove.

- Look at this.

- [Lisa] Yeah, so I can only imagine my grandmother cooking.

- [Matt] This is really, really interesting.

Wow!

- You can see they've got a star of David on them.

We're Roman Catholic.

I'm not sure what that's all about, what that story is.

- Well, we'll find out.

- [Lisa] Okay.

- Cleaned a few houses in my days.

- [Lisa] Mm-hmm.

- [Matt] This is overwhelming for me.

- [Lisa] Hmm.

- And we got a lot of work to do.

The only other thing we need to do is I need to hear about the Legacy List.

- Okay.

Well, let's go.

(upbeat music) - So this is a house that represents, really, a hundred years of your family.

- [Lisa] Yes.

- But it doesn't suit your life anymore.

- Yeah, yeah.

I've been here.

I've lived in this house.

Love this house.

It's time to move.

- You seem at peace with it.

A lot of families I work with, the guilt makes them hold on to the house another 10, 20 years.

- It's been a long time coming.

We've talked, even when my parents were alive, we talked about how it was going to be mine.

And I've, it's not my first thought about what would I do with this home.

- Well, I call it stepping stones.

There's nothing wrong with something from your past helping for your future.

And you're in a unique situation where you're the only living adult child.

They'll be okay with it.

- Mm-hmm.

- They want you happy.

- Yeah.

I absolutely know my parents would be happy.

- All right, so our goals this week are gonna be to clean out this house some to help you get it ready to sell.

- Okay.

- And then obviously, we need to go through the Legacy List to find some things.

- Yes, okay.

So the history of my family is we're a coal mining region.

I mean, my grandfather, my great grandfather were coal miners.

We've talked about how this house itself is built on coal mines.

Everything underneath us are coal mines.

So anything kind of attached to that, I think that would just be a really cool piece of memorabilia to have.

- All right, first one is coal mining history.

All right, what's the next?

- Military memorabilia.

So my father was in the Air Force, and my great uncle was a Marine, fought in World War II.

There's tons of paperwork and stuff that just my father himself had.

I might imagine there's some clothes as well, like some of his uniforms.

(majestic music) - All right.

- [Lisa] So that Pittston coal stove.

- [Matt] Yes.

- I would love to know a lot about that.

I don't know how it got down there.

That would be interesting to know.

(chuckles) - It's possible they built the house around it.

- Yeah, I would-- - That thing is heavy.

- I would imagine.

- Oh my gosh.

- Yeah.

- So just more history.

- [Lisa] Yeah.

- And I think this is a good reminder here.

So a Legacy List is a list of items.

Sometimes people need just to find it, and then sometimes they just need to learn more.

- Yeah.

- So learn more on the stove.

(laid back music) All right.

- So this area was devastated by a flood in 1972, the flood of Hurricane Agnes.

This house alone was underneath water, 30, 40 feet.

Any of that memorabilia, any newspaper clippings.

Now, it's the 50th anniversary, actually, of the actual flood itself.

It's a big deal around here.

And interesting fact, my grandfather lived up in the attic while that was going on.

We had no idea where he was for a week.

- Wow.

- I remember standing at the top of one of the streets here and I remember my mother being very frantic, just frantic, wondering where he was.

And she couldn't find anybody to take a boat, didn't know where he was, couldn't get down there.

So yeah, it was-- - [Matt] Man!

- Yeah.

- All right, what else do you have?

- So my grandmother, his wife, my grandmother, they were divorced in the '50s.

She did get remarried, and they traveled the world.

So anything that, I've seen pictures.

They've been in Europe.

So I'd just like to see anything like that, related to anything she might have brought back.

She came back to live with us for a little bit of time in the late '80s, so she brought everything with her.

- [Matt] And what was her name?

- Felicia Bartosh.

- Felicia.

- My mother's wedding ring.

It would be absolutely wonderful if that could be found.

I don't think it's in the attic, but somewhere in the house.

When my mom passed away, my dad immediately put the ring on his finger.

And about that time, he wasn't doing very well either.

He started to lose a lot of weight.

And somewhere along the lines, he lost it.

He actually lost his ring as well.

I happened to find that one.

- Oh, you did.

Where did you find that?

- I found it in the kitchen, underneath the cabinet that's there now.

- I take this one, personally, I really wanna find it.

- Again, gold band, just beautiful.

And it's my mom's.

- [Matt] So any stone or just a band.

- No, just a band.

- [Matt] Just a band.

- Just a gold band.

- Okay.

All right, I mean, it's pretty simple for me.

We've gotta keep an eye out for really more family thing more than anything.

- Yeah.

- And I'm gonna bring the whole crew in here.

- Okay.

- And we're gonna hustle.

And we'll sit back down here in a couple days and hopefully have some really cool stuff for you.

- Oh, I'm excited.

(pensive music) - [Jaime] I was like, we didn't expect that much traffic on-- - On 95 on a Saturday.

- On a Saturday, in the middle of the day.

Like, where's everyone going?

- [Matt] What's up, guys?

- [Jaime] Oh, hey.

- [Avi] What's happening, man?

- [Mike] Hey, Matt.

- [Matt] Welcome to Swoyersville.

- We thought you stood us up.

- No, I've been working.

What do you think?

- [Jaime] It's beautiful.

- [Matt] Gorgeous, isn't it?

- [Jaime] Yeah.

- Coal country.

We are actually standing on top of a coal mine right now.

- No way.

- Wow.

- Yeah.

This whole town.

Apparently, the guys would go about two miles up the road, they'd go in, and it eventually came this way.

So it's a throwback of a town, man.

It's been in the blood of this city forever.

- [Jaime] Yeah.

- [Narrator] And this family's been in this house a hundred years.

- [Avi and Jaime] Wow.

- Five generations now.

- Are they the first owners of the house?

- Yeah.

So the great grandfather built it, and every generation since has left something in this house.

The attic and the basement has been a place for everybody to leave stuff.

- The family storage unit?

- Oh yeah, but for four, almost five generations.

- [Avi and Mike] Wow.

- The thing about older homes and selling them is that a lot of this stuff can be restored if they wanted to go that route.

And most likely, the buyer that's gonna purchase something like this has a passion for restoring old homes.

So there's someone out there that wants a home like this for sure.

- Oh, yeah.

It's an awesome house.

It's gonna need a lot of work.

- Yeah.

- Mike, you're gonna be in the attic a lot.

- No problem.

We'll go up there and we'll-- - Well, see it before you say no problem.

(group laughs) But this is not a punishment.

This is for real.

There's a bunch of really cool stuff up there.

I think I sent you pictures of some of that.

- [Mike] Oh, yeah.

It was like a time capsule.

- I'm gonna let you go with him.

- I knew that was coming.

Okay.

- That's a good thing.

One of the Legacy List items, I know I sent you the whole list, but one of them is, she goes, "Just anything cool you find about my family, "I'd love to hear the story."

- [Avi and Jaime] Yeah.

- So it's gonna be really crucial with you guys in the attic to think of this as if it was your family.

Avi, you and I are gonna go to the basement first.

- Okay, appropriate.

- And then-- - Appropriate for coal mining country.

- Yes.

All right, you guys ready to get started?

- Yeah.

- And we will see you guys in a little bit.

- [Group] All right.

- Good luck.

- Good luck, guys.

- See you, guys.

- All right.

(soft guitar music) - [Jaime] I love going into an attic with you, Mike.

- It's the highlight of my day.

- [Jaime] Oh, wow.

- [Mike] Yeah.

There's some cool stuff up here.

- [Jaime] I know.

This isn't a bad one.

- [Mike] No!

I think we got the best draw here.

- Yeah, (chuckles) I do too.

This is awesome.

You can actually stand up.

- I know.

I was so worried I was just gonna need a hard hat all day.

- I know.

Do you have a place that you'd like to start?

- I kind of wanna go over here.

- Okay.

Well, you start over there, and I'll go over here.

- Okay.

- [Jaime] And you just holler when you find something.

- All right.

Oh my God.

- What?

- How to play Time Bomb.

What an interesting game.

- Dial a Smile.

- [Matt] Dial a Smile.

- That's two that I've never seen before.

Oh, Easy-Bake Oven.

I always wanted one of those.

- Here you go, Jaime.

- Thank you.

(laughs) - I'm a big kid.

When I get to work on a project like this and play with toys and games... - It's like working with a man child.

(laughs) - Oh, man.

Jaime, Jaime, Jaime.

- [Jaime] What you got?

- Did you ever have one of these?

- No.

- [Mike] Well, neither did I, but I always wanted one.

- Are you sure you didn't?

- Yeah!

- What is this?

- The Visible Woman.

It's like a model of the human body and you can like take the organs out and learn how the body works.

- There she is.

- There she is.

Fun, but then also educational.

- Got it.

What part of the body is that?

- [Mike] Intestines.

- [Jaime] Are you sure?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Oh, I know what this one is.

What's this?

- [Mike] Lungs?

- [Jaime] Ding, ding, ding, Dr. Mike.

- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

- What's that?

- Which end is up?

(pensive music) - All right, dude.

- [Avi] Oh, man.

- [Matt] Nice old basement.

- [Avi and Jaime] Yeah, now I see why you got us wearing these things.

- Yeah.

Just wanna be safe.

- Oftentimes, older homes just bring the possibility of hazardous material.

- So you've got your hundred years of coal.

You've got a ton of scrap metal there and there, a couple of tools that are worth saving.

The rest of these are really, I'd say 75% of this is scrap metal.

- Okay, okay.

- And then there's a really cool coal stove over there.

- [Avi] Hmm.

- [Matt] I mean, it's massive.

We can't even take it out.

- This is looking like a pretty big job, Matt.

How are we gonna approach this?

- So first, you and I are gonna grab a couple items, take upstairs.

- Okay.

- [Matt] And remember, in the '70s, all this flooded, this whole thing.

- [Avi] Right.

- So anything that we do find down here is, at best, rusted.

So there's no family photos.

There's no letters.

- Okay.

- Let's go over here and start picking over here.

- Okay.

- All right, I'll follow you.

(dramatic music) - The Wrath of Agnes: A Complete Pictorial and Written History of the June 1972 Flood in Wyoming Valley.

This is definitely something to hang on to.

There's like photos.

I mean, look at this.

Like, that's where we're standing.

- Oh my God.

Yeah, so grandpa would have been up here-- - I know, - Looking out and seeing all of this.

- Like, literally, the water, like right there.

- Oh my gosh.

- All that underwater.

- He's, in the moment, having to decide what memories he's going to preserve as he's trying to save his own life.

I cannot imagine what that's like.

Here it is right in there.

Uh-oh.

- [Jaime] What's this?

- I think we found something.

- Oh.

Susquehanna River breaks all flood records here.

So I think this is all about the flood.

Okay, Bob Hope tours flood-stricken Wyoming Valley area.

- Bob Hope was one of the biggest celebrities of his day.

And so for him to come here, it brought a lot of attention to the area, probably generated a lot of money for the area, and also kind of gave people a little break from the tragedy that they were living in.

- Yeah.

I mean, they've been preserved somewhat.

I think this is definitely something that Lisa and the family are going to want to hang on to.

- Yeah.

(upbeat jazzy music) (dramatic music) - [Narrator] Floods are one of nature's most powerful and unpredictable forces, and they have led to countless disasters throughout human history.

From the flood plains of China to the lowlands of Holland, no country has been spared nature's watery wrath.

In the Middle Ages, a flood known as the Great Drowning of Men began as a huge storm in England that caused a devastating storm surge.

Walls of water swept across the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark, killing thousands in its wake.

The United States has had its fair share of flood disasters, the most devastating being in 1927.

Unrelenting rain fell for months and caused the mighty Mississippi to swell and break its levies.

The ensuing flood covered 16 million acres across seven states.

In 1972, Hurricane Agnes dropped over 25 inches of rain onto the hills of Eastern Pennsylvania.

By the morning of June 23rd, the dikes had broken, and the people of Wilkes-Barre were issued the following warning, Get out.

Those that couldn't escape in time were rescued from their homes, many trapped on the second floor by a river that crested several feet in a matter of hours.

As global warming raises ocean levels, high tides and storm surges threaten millions of people living in low-lying areas, but a few countries are trying to stop the flow.

The Netherlands has poured resources into water management, creating one of the most sophisticated flood prevention systems in the world.

They're prepared come hell or high water.

(laid back music) - All right, we are upstairs.

(Avi chuckles) out of the basement.

- Phew.

- These first items we found down there, this is on the Legacy List.

Lisa wanted to find things either from their service in war or from their time in the coal mines.

- [Avi] Yeah.

- [Matt] And I think we have another Legacy List first.

I think this is both.

- [Avi] Yeah, absolutely.

- [Matt] Pretty quickly, we realized this is from 1918.

- I mean, you can just see it.

You look at how it was put together.

- [Matt] Yeah.

- [Avi] I mean, it's really raw welding, not much finishing there.

- [Matt] Yeah, metal top.

- [Avi] Metal top.

- [Matt] Every dent in here is a hard day's work.

This is from World War I, then they repurposed them and take them down into the coal mines.

- I mean, what I find interesting about this, you gotta screw here in the bottom.

I mean, they just constantly reuse what they had.

- Yes.

- I mean, it's probably had a hole in it from something and they said, "Well, we'll just seal it up with a screw "to make sure it doesn't leak any anymore."

- Yeah, reuse, reuse, repurpose, reuse everything.

- Yeah, I mean, you talk about blue collar.

Man, this is dark blue.

- Yeah.

(Avi laughs) Hard, hard, hard.

- Hard blue, hard blue.

- At a level that I respect more than I could imagine.

- I mean, a lot of people can say they've done hard jobs, but how many people can say, "I worked in a coal mine," even experienced being in a coal mine?

- Yeah, I mean, dude, we can't even work in the basement of the guy that works in the coal mine.

- (laughs) Exactly.

- And we're tough guys.

(soft guitar music) - Look at this.

- [Mike and Jaime] Cheez Whiz.

- [Mike] Look at this, it's autographed by somebody.

- [Jaime] Like a real autograph?

- [Matt] Yeah, a real autograph.

- I mean, I can't make that out.

Can you?

- I don't know.

- What's the expiration date on it?

- [Matt] 1990.

- Okay.

- Just a little, I'm sure it's still okay.

- I'll let you try it first.

- I would eat it, but I don't wanna ruin the collector value of this.

(Jaime laughs) (upbeat music) - [Matt] All right, what else you got?

- This was initially the most interesting because-- - I saw you playing with this.

- I wasn't quite sure what to make of it.

- [Matt] All right, I know what it is.

What do you think it is?

- [Avi] Well, initially, I thought like apple press.

- Mm-hmm, it's not.

- Ah.

- [Matt] Sausage maker.

- [Avi] Okay.

- But yeah, you would just turn it and the wheel would press the sausage down and you had casing here.

Make a good Polish sausage, man.

- I mean, you're feeding your family.

We have the luxury of going to a grocery store and buying food, and we don't even think about how they happened before until we walk into a place like this, and it's just a great reminder of like where we've come from.

- [Matt] And everything we find is in good shape here.

- [Avi] You could actually use it if you clean it up.

- If you cleaned it up, you could use this today, absolutely.

(upbeat music) - [Narrator] People have been enjoying sausage since the days of ancient Greece.

What made sausage so popular?

It starts with a simple recipe, meat and spices wrapped inside animal intestines.

Frankly, what's not to love?

And with a bit of curing and drying, sausages could last without refrigeration.

They were the ultimate leftovers.

Different variations of sausage popped up in all corners of the globe.

If you're looking for something sweet, try lap cheong, the Cantonese name for Chinese sausage.

A pork-based chorizo sausage is a favorite in Spain, while Germans enjoy their spicy bratwurst.

After hundreds of years of stuffing sausage by hand, the world rejoiced when German inventor and meat lover, Karl Drais, introduced the first meat grinder in the 19th century.

The hand-cranked contraption forced meat through a metal plate with holes in it and produced links of sausage at a rapid rate.

Sausage makers were a staple in kitchens for years until consumers found it more convenient to buy their meats at the local grocery store.

You may find this hard to swallow, but sausage has even saved lives.

Dutch physician, Dr. Willem Kolff, built the first dialysis machine using orange juice cans and sausage casings.

From baseball games to backyard barbecues, people still love their sausage.

Just ask the Romanians, who set the record for making the world's longest sausage at a whopping 38 miles long.

When it comes to making sausage, everyone's a wiener.

(soft guitar music) - Come over here and check this out.

I might need your help, actually.

Old clothes.

It's really tough for some people because their loved ones actually wore the item, you know.

- Yeah.

- This work shirt, who knows who wore this in her family, but they kept it up here for a reason.

It symbolizes all the hard work that their family members have put into this community for generations.

- Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, look, military uniform right here.

- Yeah, that's an Air Force patch.

And her dad was in the Air Force, so like, this was her dad's shirt.

It's these items that hold so much sentimental value.

This was his dress uniform.

- What do you think?

Is it in good shape?

- I think it's in great shape.

It's in really, really great condition.

And I would imagine that this is something that they're gonna wanna hold on to, for sure.

- I bet he looked really sharp in this too.

- I bet he did too.

I mean, this is a great piece for her to hang on to to really stay connected to him.

- There's something down here at the bottom.

Oh boy.

This is the standard issue rucksack that every member of the military got to carry all their stuff when they were being stationed somewhere.

- Wow.

- Here's the serial number.

- Okay.

- And you could probably find out a lot of information about where he was deployed and-- - And it's like written on the bag too.

- Oh my gosh, okay.

He lived in Texarkana at one point.

- [Jaime] Yep.

- I mean, but this was like your whole life.

- I know, fits in this bag.

I'm just thinking like, how would I do that?

(laughs) - I was gonna say, Jaime, when you go on vacation, could you fit everything you take in this bag?

- I could try.

(Mike laughs) That's a Legacy List item.

Boom.

(upbeat music) - All, Lyndsey, Bob, how does it feel for you guys knowing this house is eventually gonna leave the family?

- I think I've made my peace with it.

It's just been a while since everyone passed, and so it's just, I guess, time to move on.

- What were the good memories of this house?

- When I first met Lisa, came here, met her parents.

I actually asked her to marry me.

I was very nervous.

And he says yes, of course.

- [Matt] Oh, so you came here to ask permission.

- Asked permission, yes, I did.

Yes I did.

- [Matt] Oh my god.

- Yes, I did.

- So here we are.

- Here we are, here we are, yeah, 30, 31 years later.

But yeah, I mean, it's up to my wife.

She grew up in the home and all that, so it's her decision.

- What's your favorite memory in this house for you?

- Oh, man.

There was a rocking chair in the kitchen.

Me and my sister would always race to get there, to sit in there first, and we just always rocked back and forth.

- I love it.

Is the chair coming out?

Are we keeping the chair?

- I would love to.

I don't know if my mom wants to.

- I think that's a point where you should speak up.

- Yeah.

(chuckles) - Oh, yeah, definitely.

- That's okay.

If you have a great memory like that and you want the chair and you have space for it, I tell families like, there's so much going on trying to go through this house.

- Oh, yeah.

- She doesn't think to know, "Oh, they're gonna want the chair."

- Yeah.

- Right, right.

- [Matt] If you had a say in it, what would you do with this house?

- It's been in my family for five generations, so I would love to see someone fix it up.

- A little bit of painting, a new rug in there, do the plumbing and all and I think it'd be beautiful home.

I think it'd be a beautiful home.

- All right, well, thank you guys.

I got a lot of work to do.

I'm gonna get back to it.

- All right.

Thank you, Matt.

- Thanks.

- Thank you so much for your time.

- Thank you.

(soft piano music) - Oh, I had shoes like this.

- Oh my gosh.

- [Jaime] Let's see.

Will you hand me me-- - Yeah.

- [Jaime] Those books right there.

- [Mike] There you go.

- Thank you.

Oh, look, this has Fetchko on it as well.

I mean, this was her great uncle's.

- [Mike] Oh.

- [Jaime] This is the basic field manual from his military service.

- [Mike] Whoa.

- [Jaime] 1939.

Like, this is something that she is looking for, potentially.

- Yeah.

Very cool find, Jaime.

- Felicia, thank you for being here.

I'm excited to have the opportunity to talk to someone that lived in this house.

- Oh, I lived here until I was 10.

No indoor plumbing.

- [Matt] None.

- We had an outhouse.

We had an ice box and a coal stove.

- Well, I've seen the ice box upstairs.

Yeah.

(Felicia laughs) - I can't believe it's still here.

- Yeah, and the coal stove.

I found the old sausage maker.

- Oh, yeah.

My brother and I, we hated it.

Oh, who's gonna do the casings?

And you grind that out.

- The big details get passed down.

You have to spend time listening to the relatives that are still alive because they know the small details that complete the stories.

- My father was a coal miner, and I used to wait for him to come home to work and he'd be the color of your shirt from head to toe.

He'd go down the cellar, take his clothes off.

He'd go upstairs.

Then I'd sit outside the bathroom door and wait for him to come out and he'd be all white again.

- People work so hard here.

- Absolutely, and that's, I learned that ethic, I learned as a child from my parents.

- And everybody seems like they were happy.

- Well, we didn't know anything else, so we thought we died and went to heaven.

Then the flood came, Agnes in '72, all the way up to the third floor gutter.

- [Matt] It was.

It was above that.

- Yes.

And my father hid up there.

- Now, tell me this story.

I've heard parts of it.

- My father didn't believe in banks.

- [Matt] Okay.

- So he kept his money in bricks behind the furnace in the basement.

And I came one-- - I gotta write that down.

I'm gonna go to the basement here in a few minutes.

All right.

(Felicia laughs) Keep going, yeah, yeah.

- Oh, yeah, yeah.

You check everything.

- That's great.

- But when the flood came, his money got wet before he could get it all, and he took it up to the attic and hung it on clotheslines.

So when the boat came around looking to rescue people, he hid.

- What's your favorite memory in this house?

- My father would sit on the swing with me and sing songs in Polish, Christmas carols, I remember.

(chuckles) (sings in foreign language) I can't remember them all.

- That's pretty good.

- Check this out, Jaime.

- Mrs. Felicia Bartosh.

- [Mike] That's grandma, right?

- [Jaime] Yeah, that's grandma.

- [Mike] That is awesome.

- It is awesome.

I mean, she was a world traveler.

- Not sure, but that might be her.

- Oh, wow, look at that.

- Isn't that cute, sitting in the garden?

- [Jaime] Yes.

- I wonder if that's here.

- [Jaime] This is the backyard.

- [Mike] No.

- [Jaime] Yeah, those shrubs out back now-- - [Matt] What?

- That are like giant trees, right behind them.

I mean, that's really valuable.

I'm gonna add that to the pile too.

- Let's do it.

- [Jaime] Good job.

(laid back music) - This Pittston coal stove is awesome.

I've never seen one in my entire life.

But I know nothing about it, so I'm gonna have to call in a local expert to tell me more.

John, tell me about this stove.

And I think, even more importantly to me, what came first?

Did the house come first?

Or did the stove come first?

- The house came first.

- Okay.

- That stove is a very fine example of a lot of Pittston stoves that can be found throughout this region.

At any given time in the 1920s, there may have been up to 250,000 Pittston stoves in use throughout the world.

This stove, I would estimate, would be at least 1915 to 1925.

- That fits the house dead on.

- Mm-hmm.

- How much coal would it take to like cook for a week?

- Probably about 200 pounds of coal, at a minimum, a week.

- That's a lot.

- [John] Yes, yeah, a lot.

Usually, once the coal stove was going, it was kept going.

- [Matt] Okay.

- [John] 365 days a year.

- [Matt] Was that the main kitchen downstairs, do you think?

- No, I think the kitchen would have been upstairs originally.

- Okay.

- [John] They could actually be taken apart.

- [Matt] So this stove probably did get taken apart.

- [John] Mm-hmm.

- That kind of thing is heavy.

- It is, yeah.

They weighed almost 600 pounds.

- [Matt] Oh, my gosh.

- Fully assembled.

- It just keeps coming back to me.

I mean, coming from working all day in the coal mine and then you gotta shovel coal down into the stove.

- Yeah, yeah, you gotta do it.

- I mean, when I compare it to the current life I have, I cannot imagine.

- Yeah, there was, or there is a very strong work ethic here.

And miners, not only the miners themselves, but their entire family usually pitched in to take care of the house.

And taking care of the coal stove, that was really like a 24 hour a day job for basic cooking, and cleaning, 'cause people actually did laundry on top of the stove.

- They would heat the water.

- Yeah, they would heat the water, yeah.

- Oh, man.

People that grew up in this house, they did more work before they went to work than I do in my entire day.

All right, this was one of the Legacy List items for Lisa.

What can you tell me about the star of David?

- So the star of David, it was really just a trademark for the Pittston Stove Company.

- So you're saying this is not religious at all.

It's just basically their logo.

- Yes.

Nobody involved with the Pittston stove company originally was Jewish.

And if you look at the star of David here, it also reads Happy Thoughts, and this says Pittston Stove.

So Happy Thoughts, that was the, one of the original stove models and line of stoves for the Pittston Stove Company.

- The actual product name was Happy Thoughts.

- [John] Happy Thoughts, yes.

- All right, well, cool, man.

I appreciate it.

I have tons of cleaning to do, but this answers a lot of the questions I had for the family.

(upbeat music) - Getting Lisa in the attic is really the key to this whole project.

We've got a lot of decisions to make, and we don't have much time.

I really love seeing this-- - My Visible Woman.

- Yeah, so this was yours?

- I had this since I was four, yeah.

- Oh, awesome.

It's amazing.

- [Lisa] Yeah, I would like to keep that.

- You wanna keep this.

- [Lisa] Yeah, yeah.

- Okay, that's good.

Was this on your bedroom wall?

- It was.

- It's really not in great shape.

- Yeah.

It is something I can let go of.

I mean, I certainly wanna take a picture of it before it went but-- - Let's do that.

- [Lisa] Yeah.

- What can you tell me (Lisa laughs) about the Cheez Whiz?

- Oh, my Cheez Whiz.

Donny Osmond signed this.

- No way!

- Yes, yes.

He came here to the Kirby Center, I believe.

- [Mike] Okay.

- Did a performance.

The radio station asked people to call in.

I'm telling my friends, "Oh, I'm gonna ask him about Michael Jackson," I'm gonna ask him about all these things.

The only thing I asked him is if he would go to lunch with me, so-- - Well, hey, you gotta have priorities.

- Absolutely!

- Because you can ask about all those other things at lunch.

- I'm telling you.

Yeah, exactly, exactly.

But the whole promotion had something to do with him jumping in a vat of Cheez Whiz.

- What?

(laughs) - It didn't really happen, but you know.

Then they gave these out to the contestants or those who wound up calling.

So I was able to get my Donny Osmond signature.

- Oh, my God.

- Are you kidding?

Donnie Osmond?

- You know-- - Puppy Love?

Look at these names.

Oh my gosh.

It was about welcoming my father to the Defense Communication Agency in DC.

- [Mike] Okay.

- All the names are on here of my family, my mother's family, addresses of where he lived.

Yeah, that is cool to me because to me, that's ancestry.

I love ancestry.

I love knowing all of this information.

- [Mike] It's very rare that you get this much family info on one page of a document.

- This is exactly what I was looking for.

This is the information that I wanted.

- Okay, great.

- Mm-hmm.

- The great thing about working with Lisa is that she has really spent a lot of time already processing a lot of the emotions behind the objects.

Oftentimes, it's the emotions that really slow these things down.

(upbeat music) - [Avi] Look at this place, man.

- I know, this is beautiful.

- It's gorgeous.

- Golly day.

- Are we going down there?

- [Matt] We're going all the way there.

- [Jaime] We're going all the way down there.

- I'm hearing so much about how wonderful the coal mining was for this region.

And the family, they finally said, "Look, go to the Lackawanna Coal Mine.

"You can learn it all for yourself."

- [Jaime] Safety first.

- [Edmund] We're gonna get in the mine car.

We're gonna go 1,350 feet down the pitch.

And then that's where you'll get out of the mine car, and it's about a half mile walk in and out.

- [Matt] All right, thank you, thank you.

- Watch your head getting the car.

- [Jaime] Yeah, that's why we have the helmets.

- Going down, Bob.

- Oh, man.

- Look at this, dude.

- Here we go.

- [Avi] Check this out.

- [Matt] So this is what they would do to like go to work.

- [Jaime] Yeah.

- They'd ride this down every day, man.

- [Avi] It probably wasn't this nice.

- No, I'm sure it's cleaned up and, holy cow.

- Gosh, man.

- [Jaime] All right, maybe I'm a little nervous.

- [Matt] Look how deep we're going.

- Look, there goes the light.

- [Matt] I know.

You see it leaving.

- It was dark.

It was wet.

Honestly, it was a little scary.

- Wow, wow.

This is super cool, man.

So these guys would take that type of ride every day to work.

- Not that type.

It would be an older car, a wooden car.

- So not as nice as that.

- Yeah, you wouldn't come down in that Cadillac.

- [Matt] Oh, man.

How far deep are we?

- We're 300 feet below the surface, straight down.

- Okay, straight down.

- What you're seeing is exactly the way the mine was shut down in 1965.

- Okay.

- Oh, man.

- You won't see nothing from Hollywood here.

(group chuckles) There was no lighting.

- [Matt] No lighting.

- [Edmund] The miners' cap light, that was it.

- [Matt] Man.

- And this is what is called a top rock.

And then below us here, there's a bottom rock.

Every seam of coal lays between two layers of rock.

- [Matt] Okay.

- [Avi] So what was the work of a miner like in a basic day?

- The miner, he would've had to go to what's called his chamber, which is what we're looking at here.

He'd go up to the face of that.

If it needed timber, he'd have to put timber within five feet of the face of the chamber.

And then he'd have to drill his holes, put the dynamite in and blast it.

And then he'd load that coal, and then he'd put timber in again and do it again.

It's just a constant cycle.

- [Matt] Just keep going.

- [Jaime] Wow.

- How long did you work?

- 40 years I had underground.

- 40 years, everyday.

- When you have like three and four generation miners, it's actually in your blood.

And once you get started, you just can't.

I've been injured six times.

One time, really bad, I had both legs really smashed up.

I was in a wheelchair for a while.

Went right back to it after I healed.

- [Matt] Did you miss being in the mine when you were at home recovering?

- Yep.

I was going nuts.

- There's some people that work just runs through their blood.

Edmund was one of those people.

I mean, he had coal in his veins.

- And now, I heard your son actually works with you too.

- [Edmund] Yep, he's the other mine foreman here now.

- That's super cool.

So which generation is he working in the mine?

- He'd be the fifth.

- [Matt] Fifth generation.

- Fifth generation.

- [Jaime] Wow.

- This is, I'm blown away, absolutely blown away.

Can we touch these or no?

- Yeah.

The old time miners would've started back with these type drills.

- And that's how they would drill a hole for dynamite.

- This was a twist bit that they used with it.

- Oh, my gosh.

- And they had blacksmiths that would keep these sharp for them.

And he'd wire all these shots up and he'd bring it back and he'd put it on what's called a blasting battery.

I'll leave you do that.

- Uh-oh.

(explosions blare) (Matt laughs) Good job.

- Dude.

That is crazy.

(Jaime laughs) - Now, the miner, he had to listen to those blasts and count 'em 'cause if he had 10 holes drilled there and he only counted nine explosions, he knew he had a shot that didn't go off.

- Oh.

- Oh, wow.

- [Matt] And he figured out which one.

- He'd have to take a hook like this and reach in that hole and try to pull that unexploded shot out and hoped that it didn't go off while he was pulling it out.

- What?

- Now to me, this is like something that like everyone should know about.

I mean, it's such a big part of the history here and many other places, and I wouldn't have known had we not come here.

- [Matt] You have a lifetime career of mining.

- [Edmund] Yeah.

- [Matt] What do you love about it?

- Everything.

- Well, you just gotta respect it and appreciate it.

- You gotta respect it.

I respect it - So much respect.

- I respect.

- And thank you for your time.

- You're welcome.

- Thank you for everything you did for all of us.

We really appreciate it.

- Just glad you enjoyed it.

- Oh, this is amazing.

- This is awesome.

- This has been great.

- Really enlightening.

- We celebrate our veterans, but we do not celebrate our coal miners, and we should.

Men that died in these coal mines to really give us the world that we have today.

These people are just as important as any veterans in our family.

- [Narrator] At the turn of the 20th century, America was well on its way to becoming the leader of the industrialized world.

What made this growth possible?

Coal.

Coal heated homes, powered trains, and fueled factories.

It was essential to industrialization.

But all that coal came with a cost.

Owners made miners work long hours for measly wages and dangerous conditions.

Rocks fell.

Walls caved in.

Many miners developed black lung after decades of inhaling coal dust.

Faced with working in such risky conditions, Pennsylvania coal miners banded together.

On May 12th, 1902, 147,000 Pennsylvania coal miners put down their picks and shovels and walked off the job.

The American labor movement would be changed forever.

As the coal strike forged on for months with no settlement in sight, Americans grew concerned.

President Theodore Roosevelt was prompted to take unprecedented action.

He summoned the miners' union and the coal mine owners to Washington.

The miners agreed to negotiate, but the bosses refused.

Roosevelt raised the stakes.

If the owners refused to negotiate, the government would nationalize the mines and send in the army to mine the coal.

That thread brought the owners to the table.

In the end, the miners won a 10% wage hike and a shorter workday.

It was a promising win for the labor movement.

Decades later, unionizing workers look to those Pennsylvania miners and see that the people who power the country can also fight the power.

(laid back music) - Lisa and Lyndsey and Mike and his team, they've cleared out the attic, and now it's time for me and Lisa to go over the Legacy List.

I wanna thank you for getting us up here.

It's a part of the country I don't think a lot of people know about.

- Mm-hmm.

- And after spending a few days here, they should.

I think every house on the street, we could tell the same story, hard work, hard work, hard work.

- Yep, I agree.

- No one's life in this town has been easy.

- No.

- When you learn about-- - No.

- Coal mining, you learn about the struggle, the floods, I mean, all the things we learned about, it's like, man, you guys almost like excel with challenging things.

- It's an area of strong people.

- So we had a few goals.

- [Lisa] Mm-hmm.

- [Matt] You asked us to help clean the attic.

- [Lisa] Mm-hmm.

- [Matt] And that's done.

The attic is empty.

- [Lisa] Oh!

It makes me feel a little bit lighter to know that that's not something that's gonna be as heavy.

- The second part was you wanted us to find some items on the Legacy List.

- Yes, I did.

- All right, so let's jump into it.

First thing you asked me for was something from the mining 'cause you had lots of relatives in the mining.

- It's all about the history.

- And I have two really cool canteens.

Now, your father didn't work in the mines, right?

- [Jaime] No, my grandfather, my great grandfather did, so these have to be theirs.

- These are surplus from World I, World War II.

- Oh, wow.

- Yeah, I mean, this is in 1918.

- Really?

- [Matt] Oh, yeah.

- So that's my great grandfather.

- I've seen this actual canteen before, but I've never seen the tops.

But look at all the dings.

- [Lisa] Yeah, yeah.

- What do the dings represent?

- Oh, well, hard work.

- [Matt] Hard work, man.

- Hard, hard work.

There was a lot of death, unfortunately, in this.

It's a dangerous, dangerous job, and the fact that many persevered is amazing.

- And you had multiple family members that passed in the mines.

- Yes, mm-hmm.

- And then yet, the sons would get up and go the next day.

- Yeah.

- So the second Legacy List item was the coal burning stove.

We had an expert come in.

- [Lisa] That's great.

- [Mike] The stove was made between 1915 and 1925.

- [Lisa] Okay.

- It definitely came after the house.

You know that by just, by the way it was made.

- Right.

- It turns out it broke down, I don't wanna say easily, but it breaks down into different parts and gets shifted around.

And I thought this was really interesting.

So we had the star of David-- - Yes.

- On these burners.

And so the expert came in and taught us, and I said, "What does it have to do with the Jewish faith?"

Absolutely nothing.

- Okay.

(laughs) - [Matt] This was just their logo.

- [Lisa] Oh.

- [Matt] But then the brand name of this stove was Happy Thoughts.

- [Lisa] Wow.

- [Matt] All right, next item you'd asked me was to find some military stuff.

- Yes.

- Specifically around your dad and your uncle.

- [Lisa] Mm-hmm.

- So we did find a lot of stuff here.

This is from your uncle's hat.

- [Lisa] Oh, yeah.

Oh my gosh, where'd you find it?

- [Matt] They were upstairs, actually near a lot of your dad's stuff.

What did you, how did you know your uncle?

Did you know him very well?

- He was my great uncle, actually, so he's my grandmother's brother.

I've heard so many stories about how he was a great man.

He was a part of the squadron that was responsible for taking the hill at Iwo Jima.

This is fantastic because this is the symbol for the Marines.

I'm speechless.

Yeah, really.

- [Matt] What do you think when you see these?

- Like, that's World War II.

It's just, that's overwhelming.

Right, I need a tissue.

- Uh-oh, here we go.

I got tissues for you.

- Yeah, you got me going, so.

- There you go.

It's okay.

- Thank you.

- That was your uncle.

This was for your dad.

- Oh.

Yeah.

- [Matt] We've got other stuff on your dad.

- [Lisa] He wore it every day.

- [Matt] Did he?

- Yep.

Every night, he was doing his shoes, and he'd put the hat on, and he would go to work.

Yeah, that's my dad.

- [Matt] Tell me about him.

What kind of guy was he?

- Oh, he was a good guy.

He really was.

He was a hard worker.

He liked his job.

He liked, he loved his family.

He just wanted to do well.

He was a great man.

- [Matt] All right, this was a cool one.

- That is a cool box.

Oh.

(chuckles) - Do you recognize that handwriting?

- I do.

Oh.

- [Matt] Whose handwriting is that?

- Mine.

- [Matt] Read that letter for me.

- Oh, okay, if I can.

I don't have my glasses.

Dad, it may not be said a lot, but it is forever there.

It may not seem as though I do, but it's heartfelt and ever lasting.

It may not be seen as my actions, but some actions are deceiving.

I love you and will always love you as long as I am able to love you.

And then, oh, it says your daughter.

Okay, you got me to cry.

(laughs) I'm not sure how old I was, but I remember writing this.

I do remember doing that.

- You did?

- Mm-hmm.

- You were a lover and a caregiver very early.

You didn't know what was ahead of you when you wrote this.

- No.

The one thing I also found too in terms of all, looking through all of my family's things over the years, I kind of fall in the footsteps of those who came before me.

My father was the leader of the family and the caretaker and making sure he took care of his own father.

Well, I did that with my father.

My grandfather apparently did the same with the other family members, so it made its way down.

- I love that, and I'm realizing this as we're talking, I don't think you care about any of this stuff.

You just want their story to be told.

- Yeah, absolutely, I do.

(soft music) - We did find some things from your grandmother.

Tell me about this lady.

- [Lisa] So Felicia Bartosh-- - I met her daughter.

- [Lisa] You met her daughter.

- Okay.

- When she was married to my grandfather, who was Felicia Goula, this is her second husband.

She divorced in 1954, I believe, and she married a gentleman who worked for the Arabian American Oil Company.

And she traveled a lot.

And this is a Pan American-- - [Matt] Pan Am.

- [Lisa] Yeah, Pan Am, luggage tag.

- [Matt] That's a bag tag.

- [Lisa] Yeah.

- [Matt] You had to be a bigwig to get that.

- Oh, okay.

I didn't realize that part but-- - [Matt] That's pretty cool.

- Yeah.

It's emblazoned with her name and Saudi Arabia.

She talked about that a lot.

- Is that her?

- That's her, yes, and that's my grandfather, so Felicia and Joe.

Mm-hmm.

- [Matt] And then-- - Yeah.

(chuckles) There she is.

- [Matt] That's later.

- Mm-hmm.

Hold the beer.

- [Matt] She's actually holding a beer?

- I think so.

(chuckles) There you go.

- Yeah, yeah.

Look at this, having fun.

Well, all the women in your family have fun.

I think the one you've been waiting for was your mother's wedding ring.

- Yes.

- I did not find it.

- (sighs) That's okay.

- And I looked up and down.

I've searched this entire floor.

- Yeah.

- I have gone behind the carpets.

I've gone behind the radiators.

I've gone in every single box.

I think when this house gets fully emptied, I do believe it'll be here.

- It'll be in the middle of a room somewhere.

- I just got a hunch.

- Maybe my mom's just waiting for me to be alone to find it, so.

- The last thing we wanted to talk about was the flood.

- The flood of '72, Agnes.

- I learned a lot about it.

These are your papers, family's papers.

- [Lisa] Okay.

- Lots of pictures of how the town was demolished.

These are, I believe, your uncle's or your dad's photos.

- Yeah, these are my uncle's photos.

- [Matt] Oh, that's the house, right?

That's the front of the house.

- This is the house.

Yeah, you can see the mud.

I mean, you can see the flood line.

You could see where the water was and where it kinda got muddy as well.

My grandfather was 70 at this point.

- [Matt] I mean, that's amazing.

- Yeah.

How hard could that be for somebody who's 70 to see this?

- [Matt] Well, and everything you've worked so hard for.

- Everything you've worked so hard for and it's under water, under muddy water.

You don't get that smell out of your nose.

You really don't.

I can smell it now.

I truly can.

Just looking at these pictures, you remember that.

- This is a show about a legacy.

Man, does your family, do you, does your city have an amazing legacy.

This is a town that never gives up, and I have not heard one complaint since I got here.

- Yeah.

- I mean, the fact that you beating cancer is not even in the top 10 things that we talk about.

I hope people see this story.

- [Lisa] I do.

- I hope people understand what hard work can create, the family that it creates, the bond that it makes.

We're glad we got to help you a little bit.

- I appreciate it so much.

- You've still got a little work to do.

- My parents would be thrilled that I was doing what I wanted to do.

- I think they would.

I mean, I'm sitting here, as you're saying, I'm looking at this.

So many families say to me, "Oh, I don't want my family, "I don't want my memories to be lost."

We're looking at a paper and pictures of this house 50 years ago that were lost.

Everything was lost.

And guess what.

There's still a bunch of memories there.

- Yep, absolutely, they are.

- So it's not the stuff.

If this isn't proof that it's not the stuff, I don't know what is.

(Lisa chuckles) So I hope to see you in your new place.

- Come by any time.

- [Matt] And hear of all the new memories that have been created.

- Thank you.

I'm so happy.

I appreciate everything you've done.
