It's David Hoffman filmmaker here with another story that I hope you'll enjoy.

I thank you for watching my Gym Key and Bilkey Horse Story and enjoying it so much.

This one involves a film I made about a woman who tells a story that's really hard to believe, but it's true.

I'm gonna prove it's true after you watch this clip.

She's nearly 90 and she's a reporter in the small little town of Maine.

And she tells kind of gossip and stuff like that.

And I'm doing a series for television, of people who I call independent Americans, people who do things their own way, who don't listen to the government, particularly, and don't listen to the neighbors particularly and tell stories.

And Nettie Mitchell is one of the people I've chosen, and I go to Maine on I'm filming the Story, which is a story of Nettie reporting on local events, a baby contest, and she's just great great old woman.

Beautiful personality comes the last day in the last moment, and we take a photograph of the crew that with Nettie and I'm gonna leave.

And then he says, David, I have a story to tell you And she kisses me on the lips and I was shocked.

She was sitting in her kitchen and I said, Nettie, you tell the story to Francis and she tells the story you're about to see.

It's one of the most shocking stories I have ever heard.

Hard to believe it's true, but it is before I run the clip.

Let me just tell you just a bit about New England at that time.

This is Puritan, New England, this cruelty and this kindness.

There's proper nous and there's things you're not supposed to do, like dance like have fun.

I remember somebody telling me that in Maine, in the Puritan times you took a moment off from your work, from the chores you had to do when you were sick and dying as the only time you took off.

I think it was 18 16 and 18 21 it froze every single day.

These were extremely poor farmers in extremely rough condition in an extremely cold time and run about 18 40.

There were these mills down in Massachusetts, Lowell, Massachusetts, woolen mills, thread mills.

And they were extraordinary because they were hiring girls and young women to come off the farms.

Come down, stay in these dormitories which were safe, they said, and work for a couple of years.

The women would keep a portion of the money on the portion of the money would go back to the farm.

It was the first time women had an opportunity like this to make money like this and em align the story that you're going to hear.

She went down to one of these mills as a girl of about 14.

I'll let Neddy tell the rest of the story.

And then I'll tell you after what happened as a result of this recording, I am not a Mitchell I made in nine years of age.

I live in the town of Fayette and where Ray was born and flipped bricklayer all my lifetime, and I would like to tell you one of the saddest and most heartbreaking tales that has come to minors is a true story, something that happened right here in this town.

That's already when I was attending a child and she was very sweet and lovely.

She was one of a large family of Children in a very impoverished home in the early 18 hundreds at the age of 13.

This is from Lynn, Massachusetts, righted the home and seeing the poverty and the provisions there said, Why don't you let us take Emil?

I'm back with us to ruin and Jake and work in the cotton mills.

She's old enough to work there, and you can go work in the gut mills and send you money.

They thought it over, and this had let her go, and she went.

She was an efficient, hair booking little girl, but she was barely among strangers in a strange land, very, very different than anything she had ever known before.

Among there was who were friendly Door is most of them went out because she was entitled.

It different was a young boss, young man and he became very friendly.

And she yielded to him to his frustration.

And by the time she was and 14 she was the mother of his child.

She did not dare to letter people back home know what is the good?

The people way, she was saying, made arrangements to sail her baby.

Do a childless couple nearby them who were I would pay her expenses and pay for transportation back home because you would go with soon.

She was able, she returned your home and she would very hard in the fields and all.

But she didn't join very freely, and they a social life of the community.

As you grow older, her parents and others began to wonder why it was that she shunned Ali young gentleman around.

She was a very pretty girl and they couldn't understand it.

When she was 21 they began to worry because that you she's past the first mark and she's gonna be an old maid.

And they wanted very much for to marry and have a home room.

The time went on, and in spite of all the urging of those about it, she kept reticent.

And she really an old maid in early thirties?

A young man came to town to build highways and he was a very personable young chap and they came to board their home.

Although she was so many years older than me, he fell desperately in love with her and she with him, and they decided to marry and ever hold their own.

They did build a little cottage down by the shore, oppose your bond.

It moved in there and had been married something less than a year.

When his people from masters is decided to come to visit them, it came down into their horror.

She was forbidden to enter that home to go inherit it all.

None of them ever went to our spoke to her and nobody spoke to.

No one went nearer except once in a while.

A kindly, afraid, kind personal would bring her a bit of tea or some little thing.

She faked out a living by your own efforts, made our gardens and speeded the mother Spader itself made them in razor food as much as possible and net and did very various things.

But it was became necessary for to become a papa, which was another disgrace.

And she had to call on the town things, her existence.
