Every headstone no matter how small represents a life, a member of a family with a story to tell. Many of those stories are long forgotten. Thanks, JD, for visiting cemeteries to help keep the stories alive.

I can understand completely. One of the saddest things I see when I visit a cemetery where relatives are buried are the bronze grave markers now turned green with neglect since no-one comes to visit anymore. I suppose it's inevitable since years go by and families move away but it's still sad.

People think of cemeteries as a place of death, but I agree and contend they are a place of life. From the glorious cemeteries like Arlington where the individual stories scream as loud as a Stadium after a Game 7 winning home run, to a small Pioneer Cemetery on the Oregon trail, the individual stories are compelling and fascinating. Thank you J.D.

JD, when my Dad was a teenager (was a corporal in WWII), he and a couple of friends found a petrified stump, back in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, while they were squirrel hunting. Just an off the wall remark by one of his friends, that if something happened to him, he would want the stump for his headstone! And, as fate would have it, the young man died not too many years later. So, my Dad, with the help of a mule and some other people, moved it to where anyone can see it today, in a cemetery where most of my ancestors are buried, including my father. Also, as a side note, I have ancestral relatives buried there that fought on both sides during the civil war!

@garretvaughn7936 Месяц назад

Always fascinating to see the history behind the tombstones on your tours of cemeteries. I am reminded that John Wayne’s character Rooster Cogburn in “True Grit” named his cat after Gen. Sterling Price. Nice to know his history, not just as a cat’s name!

I was born and raised in Bellefontaine Neighbors. I've passed that cemetery countless times and have always been intrigued by the rich history those graves represent. I was told the area was named after an early frontier fort located on the Mississippi. Would like to see that someday, if it is still there. On a different note, there is a prominent street in St. Louis named Lindell Blvd. I wonder if it was named after Jesse Lindell. Sad to see his grave monument toppled over. On yet another note, wasn't John Wayne's cat named Gen. Sterling Price in the movie True Grit? Thanks for the video. Much appreciated.

Great episode. You should look into Woodland cemetery in Dayton, Ohio. The Wright brothers are buried there, and there are hundreds of other famous historic people, too. Also, Hill Crest cemetery in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is an all black cemetery that is full of civil war, Great War, WWII, and Buffalo soldiers. I found this one while helping a coworker locate his dads grave. He was 8 at the time, over 60 years ago. We couldn't find the grave itself, but he remembered the place. Very emotional.

I was mortified, but we called the number. 😉

Fascinating video JD! I was really struck by the Adolphus Busch mausoleum, in a way it's VERY similar to the grand mausoleums immgrant German brewmasters erected in one of the older cemeteries in Newark NJ. All men who came here with nothing and succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. I can't help but wonder if those structures were kind of a middle-finger flip-off to the German aristocracy under who's regime these men would have never been more than what they were in the old country? We'll never know I guess. But you can't miss the inscription over the door of the Busch mausoleum: Veni, Vidi, Vici. From Julius Caesar... "I came, I saw, I conquered!" He sure did!

He would bring me along. Because of that to this day I love to stroll cemeteries….. wishing I had the tools to make grave markers/monuments look better. I loved the William Clark monument!
