ok. People here may be related to them through the family but they were not your father nor were they your grandfather. They were 5 and 7. Even in 1856 5-7 year olds were not having kids you retard. Get a clue. You have nothing to do with this so just let them alone.
heard this song for the first time today, on the heels of the death of two local children by drowning in the susquehanna river. tears streamed down my face as i listened to the lyrics and eerie melody. there is great comfort in the final refrain to those who believe. beyond the haunting beauty of this story, i’m sure this song has helped many grieve the loss of loved ones. alison krauss has the voice of an angel.
