very nice cemetery. Some very impressive monuments. This community had some good money back in the day. Love these old country cemeteries. They bring peace to me.
❤ always enjoyed y'all videos of those old grave yards and churches what I like the most the craftsmanship of old houses and churches that are still standing today it just proves that people took pride in all of their work and back then the cause of building anything was a lot cheaper to do by today's standards and as I watch this video I can't help but to think that I wish that I could donate 100 gallons for you all's good work but I can't but I'm thanking God late if they was clean out they would absolutely be beautiful and must easier to read❤ watching you y'all from, cornbread Morristown east Tennessee 😊
I researched Pvt Joseph Chambers. According to his military records via fold 2 he was killed in action Oct 19, 1864 at Greeneville, Greene County, Tennessee, USA (per findagrave). Findagrave has a drawing of him. His military records showed he died June 1, 1864. (Part of Capt. B J Kendrick Company F , Terrell Infantry, 51 regiment). His military records were 15 pages long. I had ancestors in the Civil War (mainly from Georgia) and I love doing research. His widow is Lucinda Chambers.
I love your videos when you both go through the cemeteries. You make it so interesting with the banter between you both. Especially when you point out all the details of the grave stone. Your a terrific team together. I still love the ones you do on your own Robert Cheers Lynne Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🐨💙💜😄
Mr. Webster, like many musicians, was of an exceedingly nervous and sensitive nature, and subject to periods of depression, in which he looked upon the dark side of all things in life. I had learned his peculiarities so well that on meeting him I could tell at a glance if he was melancholy, and had found that I could rouse him up by giving him a new song to work on. He came into my place of business [in Elkhorn, Wisconsin], walked down to the stove, and turned his back on me without speaking. I was at my desk. Turning to him, I said, "Webster, what is the matter now?" "It's no matter," he replied, "it will be all right by and by." The idea of the hymn came me like a flash of sunlight, and I replied, "The Sweet By and By! Why would not that make a good hymn?" "Maybe it would," he said indifferently. Turning to my desk I penned the words of the hymn as fast as I could write. I handed the words to Webster. As he read his eyes kindled, and stepping to the desk he began writing the notes. Taking his violin, he played the melody and then jotted down the notes of the chorus. It was not over thirty minutes from the time I took my pen to write the words before two friends with Webster and myself were singing the hymn.-Sanford Fillmore Bennett (1836-1898)[2]
This fall I'm going to walk the old Big Springs cemetery near Bloomfield KY. It was established in 1779. Can't wait to check it out. Love the work you do
Thank you to the Other Robert and Mrs. Producer for your visits to these cemeteries. Look back on history and the epitaphs are so touching. These people knew where their loved ones were going. The girl named Texas, very interesting. Thank you again for sharing. God bless
Thank you so much for your thoroughness in reading the stones you look at. It is so respectful that you take the time to be accurate. I feel as though I am right there paying my respects with you two! Thank you!!!
I really enjoy hearing Neon Green Robert and his sidekick going over that entire cemetery! Could only 1 of you speak when reading the month day and year and epitaph? Either Neon green bob, or his Mrs, or Daughter or Friend! But ya'll did a nice job. Got to come back clean up them stones!
The call of a Bob White (Quail) is one of the most beautiful sounds in nature. Sadly, I haven't heard one in several years now. Great job, you two. Enjoyable.
Mr Robert when I see different flowers on the headstones of the women I love to think some one knew certain flowers were the favorite flowers of these sweet women.
flowers/ plants on markers/graves are there because they have a symbolic meaning.For example : red & white rose : united, pink:grace, pansy:remembrance , arum: faith, purity , lily-of-the-valley: sweetness, trust , oak: strength, etc.
I love this video! That cemetery is so full of beautiful headstones, lovely & wild! So many things to discover under all of the age built-up on the them! Back in the day, I would’ve spent many hours there, doing exactly what you do: cleaning off the headstones, pulling weeds, listening to the dead talk over the breeze and just spruce things up a bit. Lovely trip today, Robert (and Mrs “Robert”! Thanks for taking me along! 😊
Mrs. Other Robert, you made a funny at 49:15 about the monument makers...you said "they were in 'STIFF' competition"! I know you probably didn't mean it that way, but that was a good one!!😂
The Producer is correct. The Woidman of thw World is an Insurance Company at on time provided free headstones, but in the 1900's started charging $100.00. In the 1800's the headstones looked like a log for a life cut short.
You guys should think of a free standing scaffolding to go sound these tall headstones so they can be worked on safely. And a big tank of water on wheels to wash these off while your working. You’ll need a pressure to pump from the tank and into your pitcher to pour water onto the stones. Using a four wheeler to haul huge tanks on wheels into the grave sites. No trucks. And attach these big brushes to strong poles to reach the taller areas if needed. Hope all of you get a team in this cemetery and cleanse these stones before the moss destroys the markers forever.and the water tank needs to be put under the eve of the house so it will fill up full of natural rain water
Bobwhites! That's so cool. I haven't heard any of them since I was a kid, visiting my grandparents' farm. They went extinct up here, since then. Though they are being reintroduced. Anyway... That's interesting to see that name Senn. We have Senns around here, in Egg Harbor City and surrounding area. The Senns have a plumbing supply store and another branch of the family has an oil company. I know that name, Jolly. There was a woman named Nicole Jolly who had or has some interesting videos on RU-vid. I knjow that name Chambliss/Chambless from Salem County, NJ, where there is a Chambliss house that was built in 1730. I also know that name Paul, because the Revolutionary War hero, Benjamin Paul is my ancestor, and my grandmother was able to join the DAR because of him. Anyway, I love these cemetery explores. I love seeing the various kinds of stones.
There are so many tell you what you need to bring with you, maybe it would be an idea to put some ant killer into your pouch… They seem to love cemeteries😊
I know this is am old video, I'm enjoying going back and watching, but I wanted to comment on the beautiful marker with the hand pointing down. Generally the finger pointing down like that symbolizes an unexpected or sudden death. The downward finger is calling those on Earth to witness this and reflect that life is fleeting. It's the gothic one around 24 minutes, Mary V Jolly. She must have died from something sudden.
There should be a list of the craftsmen who have made these monuments, don't you think ? Gayle. I don't mean the company, but the people with that talent.
Beautiful ceremony ❤❤❤What county in Georgia? My Mississippi Chambers family came from Georgia …really need to work more on genealogy for sure. CSA tip 🧐 “Southern Cross of Honor” maltese cross with a laurel wreath surrounding with the words Deo Vindice (God our Vindicator)
Guys, I thought my 21 year old son was going to have a conniption when he saw y’all walking on those peoples graves. Could y’all please stop doing that?
