Cemetery mysteries - Can someone help me with this? 

You should stop by Brock Cemetery for a visit with Annie Oakley and Frank Butler. As a child she spent time at that poor home.

Yes, that struck me too. It is well groomed, so I took comfort in that. I’m hoping that someone from this area will reach out to me. Thanks for watching Steve.

I was actually in the area visiting her grave, and happened to see this. Very interesting for sure.

I also found out by looking at the find a grave website that there is a children's home cemetery in Darke County. I couldn't find much more than you did on the once you visited, except for that it was the cemetery for the local poor house.

that makes sense, i was thinking it must be some kind of pauper's graveyard and wondered if it was near a hospital or prison.

I tried to find an asylum close to the area, well a former asylum, but I was having trouble doing so. Thanks for your response. This was a fascinating stop for me. Thanks for watching

You must be on to something, look how the Kennedys locked poor Rosemary away. How confusing and frightening.

Thanks so much. All evidence points towards that. I’m thinking of doing a follow up.

Yeah they do. So it makes me wonder if a veterans group researched and had them marked. Not sure. Thank you for watching.

That means a lot you saying that. And I appreciate your input.

that doesn't explain why war veteran's headstones are next to the numbered headstones

Wesley Jackson if I’m not mistaken, their graves were also numbered. I think the markers were added later. Unless I’m mistaken

Thanks Lori

Ed Newman OutDoors your welcome!✌️

I would love that too. Thanks so much for watching.

I appreciate the feedback. And I plan to continue that.

The numbers would go with records.. And had patients names on them. Or at least some did.

Thanks so much for watching and honoring these people with me.

Thanks for the comment and insight. I greatly appreciate it.

That’s great info. I’m going to check your channel out. We have a similar interest it looks like!

@@Whittdocs Awesome! Thank you! I'm planning more adventures now that the kids are back in school!

That Modern Mombie yeah. I went exploring this weekend. Have some more on the way.

@@Whittdocs Can't wait! I have some things planned for the week. A cemetery and maybe a church too!

Later these places was called mental state hospitals. Lot started closing in 2000. Sad say lot veterans homes also closed, government claimed due to lack fund.laws need change there s more and more people living on the streets some need medicine.they not getting the care they need fortunately there are some programs that are helping. But more need be done or its going get worse...n.j.

Thanks Doug. I appreciate your insight.

I have heard those theories as well. That’s a very good theory and could very well be true

Thanks once again.

I would love to do an update. Thanks so much for watching.

Definitely sad. Thanks for your comment. :)

@@Whittdocs I also do cemetery tours. I juat love the art and craftsmanship that goes into the monuments and lanscaping, as well as the history and stories from the past.

Awesome. I’ll check your channel out!!

Just subscribed!

@@Whittdocs Thank you so much! Maybe we can network and help each other find some cool spots.

That’s a good theory and may be right. Thank you.

Ed Newman OutDoors funny you say that, because I’ve already thought of following up lol

Just here to Stay on ya : )

Oh, ok. Thanks so much for helping with that.

I worked as a program director at Florida state hospital for five years. They have a cemetery that goes back to 1846 and you can look the numbers up and see who they were. In prison cemeteries they stack them four deep and each headstone had four numbers on it. The prison maintains the records and with proper papers you can look those up as well.

Walter Johnson thanks again. I would love to make a return visit to this location. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Thanks so much for the response. That’s some great info. Appreciate it.

@@Whittdocs Most welcome...

Thank you so much for watching. I hope everything is going well in Canada! Annie Oakley used to perform western style sharp shooting shows. I have a video about her. You should check it out!

Hi I just watched you video on annie oakley very interesting to bad her hubby died 18 days after Anni e died

Yeah. That was such an interesting story to tell. Thank you so much for watching.

I appreciate that comment. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for that input. I’m really thinking that this is something similar to that.

Yeah more then likely. I hope someday the names can be added to these ones as well !!

Navarre Fam I hope so as well, I would love to be able to do a follow up on this.

I hadn’t thought of that. Thanks so much for your input.

Very true. Thanks for the comment.

Seeing this is sad lot these places was forced to close due to the lack of funds.some were placed in nursing homes, some became homeless. Even lot veterans homes were forced to close,state didn't care what happened to them.you'd be surprised the number of vets who are homeless.not just vets, lot adults with mental illnesses were left to find places to go, these buildings left to just deteriorate. States selling the buildings...if they had families they only took them in for their checks was often abused ,.I know places in Georgia this happened.laws have changed and their are programs to help people with disabilities, and. Veterans to get a place to live, have help daily, get food and medicine.. Some still homeless because nobody want them. We need more laws to help the homeless and those with mental illness.. N.a.JJ.

There was hospital in Georgia where a family could drop off a unwanted mentally I'll and handicapped person and the state would pay them, it got so bad they had stop. Lot these people ended up homeless,in 2000 the place finally close. Didn't care what happened to the patients.some was put in nursing homes,those who could help themselves moved into buildings for the elderly and handicapped..some were veterans sadly lot veteran home closed. No vet should be homeless.this the richest country in world its time laws changed.I'm seeing more and more people living on streets,.this just not right. N.j.
