Email memory from Pete: the train wreck of Ole 97

Pete sent an email with a link to YouTube song of Roy Acuff or Johhny Cash singing the folk song about the famous wreck. This has a family link, as Pete explains below. He says:

"This is full of memories, besides having heard th song a hundred times, I was told that my grandfather (James Sims ? ) took my mother (Inez) and uncle  (which uncle?) as children to see the wreckage (it was in easy walking distance from their house) a day or so after the wreck on a Sunday. his first day off from work-----the work week was six days a week, ten hours a day back then, in the good old days."

If you are interested,  and the link no longer works, you can Google the link to:  youtube ole 97 train wreck. (For you neophytes, rightclick on the link below!)
