True its why i love this channel only discovered them couple of days ago i also do thrm but not so detailed i absolutely love this channel as you always wander what they looked like and how they passed 😊
Yes the lady below my comment is correct for the word hysterectomy. Apparently she had or went into kidney failure during her female surgery. Excellent vlog! Love these stories in you uncover in the cementaries! Great work!!!!!!
I like this picture of Heaster. Beautiful lady, but she looked like she had seen some hard times. Beautiful cemetery, looks well cared for. Interesting stories, may they all rest in peace 🙏 Thank you very much Leo and Heather, for another interesting video. Have a great weekend. 😊😊
Thanks for posting this video, Leo and Heather, and for all the hard work you do to identify the deceased and some background on them when it is available 🤩👏🏻‼️🙏❤️
Oh, I just absolutely loved this video Heather and Leo. This is a beautiful and peaceful cemetery. I love to visit old historic cemeteries. This is ONE of the BEST videos that you have done in WV. My second favorite is finding the grave of Mamie Thurmond. Oh, the video on the Dingess tunnel was also great. However, this particular video takes my heart back to Rt. 60 in WV. You are in one of my very favorite parts of the state which is close to Lewsiburg and White Sulphur Springs. The story of Zone Hester Shue is one of the most mysterious ones in the state. I have a collection of ghost stories of WV and all of them include the sad and tragic death of her. Zone Hester was a very pretty lady. Thank you for this awesome video. Just keep up doing the awesome research that you do Heather.
K.G.E. Knights of the Golden Eagle. The Knights of the Golden Eagle was a fraternal organization founded in Baltimore in 1872.[1] History The order's original objectives were to help its members find employment and aid them while unemployed. Membership was open to white males over 18, without physical or mental handicaps, who were able to write and support themselves, were law-abiding, of sound moral character, and of the Christian faith. There was a female auxiliary called the Ladies of the Golden Eagle.[2] In the early years of its existence the group received assistance from other secret societies and fraternal groups. The Odd Fellows helped them become established in Philadelphia in 1875 and the Knights of Pythias helped them become established in Massachusetts in 1880.[3]
You read in of people dying of diseases years ago that you don't hear of anymore, thanks to more sanitary living conditions and better medicines. We have been blessed in our lifetime. Great video. Thanks.
Great intro!! Another wonderful tribute to those that have gone to the other side. A condition involving abnormally high levels of waste products in the blood. Uremia is a dangerous condition that occurs when the kidneys no longer filter properly. It's likely to occur when a person is in the final stage of chronic kidney disease.
Nice video. Always enjoy ya'lls stories. Great research, great story telling. Both of you have, different but very pleasant voices, very good at relating stories. Started watching ya'll because of tge Hatfield and McCoy fued, really glD i kept coming back. Ya'll have one of the best channels i watch. God bless ya'll for all you do. Stay safe during ya'lls travels.
I’m from Texas and by chance came upon your channel and just got hooked. I just love to hear all the history of the people you talk about, those cemeteries you go out of your way to visit and give us the stories of the people resting there. It’s all so very interesting and informative. Thank you for going through the trouble of doing this and paying respects to all those people that probably don’t have anyone to come visit them anymore
I would like to share what I had inscribed on my son’s grave stone. Jared Luke Tonnessen We offer back to the earth what is hers We offer back to God all we thought was ours Releasing our claims to you
Thank both of you for going to the trouble of discovering these departed souls & then telling us something of their lives. I will look for your videos from now on. From Kansas
Subbed. Love how you guys look up the people with such respect, and your presentation is so calm and nice but strong. Also, Diphtheria peaked in 1921. It causes swelling of the mucous membranes, including in your throat, that can obstruct breathing and swallowing. Sometimes a bacterial toxin can enter the bloodstream and cause fatal heart and nerve damage. Maybe they were misdiagnosed.
Good morning West Virginia from South Carolina 😆.. hope y'all having a beautiful Sunday morning..heeeeey Leo 😆..hey Heather... thank y'all for another awesome video and history.. y'all have a wonderful channel
I also love the effort that you go to in letting us know where possible how these people died.most of the time it's just the headstone/plaque,that's it.thanks for making it so interesting, love it❤❤
Truly a sad one...Zona's story especially both tragic and compelling. Wow, she fell into the hands of a monster. So much disease there,too, I'm glad all of that was resolved. God rest their souls.
So many young ones died of tb so sad I looked up Zona so glad that her husband didn't get away with her murder but very sad for her mother and family thank you Leo and Heather stay safe and well
So very interesting and sad too! I noticed when you were looking for Ester cause of death at 5;22 the person's under said strangulation for cause of death! WOW you sure can-do research and find fascinating stories.
Ya did it again. Another fascinating video. It's awesome that you give us info about these people. It helps make them real and not just names and dates on an old stone.
LOVE ❤ HEATHER TELLING GHOST 👻 STORIES SHE MAKES IT SOUND SO REAL N CREEPY LOVE ❤ Y'ALL'S VIDEOS THR SO EDUCATIONAL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE LOVE ❤ THE HISTORY IT'S SO INTRIGUING
The word on death certificate is hysterectomy . The crossing of the letter t makes the letter y look like a q . The wild letter H is simply an artistic attempt on the part of the coroner .
Have y'all looked into the cleaning of some of the more stained tombstones. My understanding the chemicals and brushes are very soft so it only takes off the very top layers... 😊
One of my best buddies when I was in the navy,...had{has) the last name, Puckett! _AND_ ,...he was from the Blue Ridge Mountain region!! Wouldn't be the least bit surprised if there's some relation, there!
Let's look at it from another angle: 32 is young for a hysterectomy, especially in those times. So there must have been a good reason for that. If you look well at the word Hysterectomy it looks like the beginning was written over the word Poly. Polycystic kidney disease is a fatal kidney disease that will lead to Uremia and death. Nowadays a death certificate would say uremia caused by fill in the kidney disease that caused it in that case Polycystic kidney disease. The hysterectomy would have been the cause of the rapid deterioration of a, in itself fatal, kidney disease. It might very well have been that she suffered from polycystic disease with kidney failure, that that might even have been the reason for the hysterectomy, and the hysterectomy contributed to the kidney failure. Hence contributing factor not causal factor.
On Evie's death certificate, it looks like they started writing something that began with an R (maybe Renal failure) but wrote Hysterectomy over it. Uremia is kidney failure.
Women undergoing a hysterectomy have an approximate 30% increased relative risk of subsequent kidney cancer. Additional research is needed to elucidate the biological mechanisms underlying this association. Also I was thinking it was something similar to polycystic kidney disease (some treatment for it) but either way, rest in peace to Evie
Uremia is a clinical condition associated with worsening renal function. It is characterized by fluid, electrolyte, hormonal, and metabolic abnormalities. Uremia most commonly occurs in the setting of chronic and end-stage renal disease but may also occur due to acute kidney injury.
TB disease in the lungs or throat can be infectious. This means that the bacteria can spread to other people. TB in other parts of the body, such as the kidney or spine, is usually not infectious. People with TB disease are most likely to spread it to people they spend time with every day.
Could KGE with the eagle be Knights of the Golden Eagle? It was a fraternal order formed in Baltimore in 1872. That's what I found with just a quick Google search. That was interesting to me because I and my Dad's side of the family are from Baltimore. As always an interesting video. Like Heather said, a lot of TB. I was also wondering why a few of the men had paralysis as their cause of death, that seemed unusual to list as a primary cause of death. I know words sometimes had different meanings years ago. As always enjoy your videos. I'll have to look for the one on Mrs. Shue, I think it strange that her grave marker actually calls her the Greenbriar Ghost, very odd.
So many TB deaths in one place. It is highly infectious since it is such a small place they may have passed it to one another. Paralysis is a weird cause of death & there was more than one. People don't die from paralysis they probably died of something caused by paralysis. Very odd people also don't die of old age. Seeing the cause of death as pregnancy when she was murdered makes me question if other causes of death are wrong.
My ancestors lived in Greenbrier - the Charltons and the Kyles. They would really old graves as several left in the 1850s or 60s to Oregon. Just wondered if any have seen those names?
We do sometimes, sometimes we don't, depends if we remember to bring them or not, usually we are doing many videos same day and just forget, we didn't plan on doing the whole cemetery, just the one grave
Leo….eagle and shield with “KGE” most likely denotes membership in the Knights of the Golden Eagle. I believe this organization was religious in nature and ceased to exist decades ago.
