Harmony Grove Cemetery in Portsmouth, New Hampshire 

A / O on a headstone stands for Alpha / Omega. The beginning and the end.

Most of these people probably haven’t been remembered for over a century. Because of you, there are thousands realizing that they did indeed exist … and care. Thank you

The flowers falling off the grave was not a coincidence..... my mom was allergic to flowers, so never cared for them. When she died, all of the attendants at her burial were each given a rose to place on her casket before it was lowered into the ground. It was a beautiful sunny day and also no wind, but every last one of those flowers rolled off one by one. I knew it was my mom's energy that caused that. We all kind of chuckled about it later. Trust me, I know that souls walk this earth, and they watch what we do. I have felt it, heard it and seen it.

I had paranormal experiences after my mom died. I was an open minded skeptic before. Then things happened that could not be explained otherwise. And since then. So I’m a believer! Thx Ron. This is great!

Thanks Ron for the morning walk about, Lovely! As I watched the flowers fall of the head stone my mouth just dropped open......

Ron, there's something special about your walk in the morning light. It seemed so peaceful, what a quiet place. I do think there's something special behind what happened with the roses...we may now know what, but I think it was kindly meant for you.💜 Thank you for taking us along with you.

BEAUTIFUL cemetery!! Have to say the rose falling did unnerve me a little!! You placed it there properly, and there was no wind!! VERY mysterious!! XXXX 🤔💖👍

The “side burns” you referred to in regards to the 3D sculpted portrait on the obelisk were referred to as “mutton chop” side burns. They were popular in the first half of the Victorian era. I have absolutely no complaints about how you do things on your channel. I’m always very happy to see that you’ve uploaded a new video. Thanks so much!

I went back and watched the episode again and you are totally right 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

G.F.Pearson died July 1st 1867,Canada's date of independence! In the mid-1850s, if you were 50 years old,you were considered a geezer! Lol. A lovely stroll in a beautiful cemetery. Thanks Ron. 😊👍

The stick fell also afterwards too. Not just the flower. Excellent live stream. Love all your videos. Be safe, & well. Xoxo

you are doing such a beautiful thing, I think the scariest thing after passing away I can think of is being forgotten, and you help with that fear everyday ❤️

Yes Ron I clearly saw that and there was gap of time between each flower to when they fell, I have to admit that I have never experienced anything like that before. I am so glad that you mentioned it. It was extraordinary and as you stated Ron there wasn't any breeze or wind. Everything was completely still. I most definitely will never forget it.

As a native northern Californian who lived in Dover, New Hampshire for 4 years I was enamored with the history in MA and NH not to mention Maine, I do miss it out there ❤️❤️

That is beautiful cemetery Ron it is so peaceful there the is lovely headstone there the history of that place sounds very interesting to see so all the headstone s all lines up Thank you sharing this beautiful video Ron you take care

Thank you for all the very descriptive stories that come along with the great video of these beautiful resting places for those that have passed on!!

Thanks so much Ron for these fantastic videos you do. I used to love walking in cemeteries, but my back has gone out now and I’m kind of crippled up and unable to walk, thank you for bringing me so much joy. Also I admire you for the respect you show to all those who have gone before us, I would like to know all their stories ❤️

Hello 👋 everyone 👍. Yes Ron I caught the flowers falling. I thought it was kind of spooky 👻.

Beautiful cemetery! Love all the stones the headstones styles and a lot of them look to be pretty well preserved writing and all in this section. Lovely walk once again.

Ron you have a heart of pure gold you will do good on your travels and you find the most beautiful cemeteries.

I do believe in the paranormal. I believe it was a spirit thanking you for remembering. Just my opinion. Ron, Thank you for all you do!

I love this channel! Thanks for sharing all these stories.

Hey Ron! What a great cemetery walk today! So interesting and informative! I especially love the ornate door you showed us, so cool. I must admit you made me chuckle when you talked about all the items some of the gang think you should bring..I had a mental picture of you trudging through the cemetery with an apron on or pulling a wagon!🤔😂 I think you do just fine with what you have. 👍 Looking forward to your next video!🥰 Cheers! 🍻

The cross on the Peter Jeness mausoleum was a Maltese cross. I recognise it because my husband is Maltese. Another great video.

Wow, the flashlight helped so much on those two stones. 4:35 Canna lilly. I used to have some that were solid pink, solid red, solid yellow, solid orange. They can rob from each other so it is good to keep the different kinds separate. 11:09 Looking straight ahead as far as I can see and the cemetery goes on and on. I can see the sun shining on another hill full of graves. 13:52 I like the shape of those 3 stones. 14:40 Thank you for the zoom up of that hill. That was what I was looking at a moment ago. Pretty. 17:42 Beautiful wrought iron. 26:18 I couldn't find his epitaph written out online but he is in Wikipedia. I googled "levi woodbury new hampshire epitaph on grave marker" and clicked on the marker that you showed to us. Heavy into lots of politics and stuff. Huge amount of wikipedia info. 28:00 Wow. Pretty doors. Thank you for taking us along for the walks. Beautiful cemetery. Beautiful time of day, too.

Beautiful Cemetery. I agree early morning give nicer colors. The flowers falling was just freaky! Stay safe Ron!

When I saw the yellow rose and the dried flower go flying off the headstone, I got goosebumps. Such a sad story😭

Yes I saw the flowers fall off, what surprised me was the dead flower falling off. I believe in spirits and I also believe she was thanking you for remembering her and their tragic ending

Filming in the morning does give better colors. Beautiful and vibrant. I’m sure much cooler as well since we’re in the latter part of July. Stay safe.

Ron I wanna thank u for talking so much about Find a Grave. I just found my paternal, Irish immigrant grandparents grave in NY. Means a lot to see it bc I'm in FL. The headstone is in remarkable shape. I didnt have much info to go on, but scrolling n scrolling for results paid off like a slot machine win! The work ur doing is very meaningful to so many... keep it up!

At the town's incorporation in 1653, it was named Portsmouth in honor of the colony's founder, John Mason. He had been captain of the port of Portsmouth, England, in the county of Hampshire, for which New Hampshire is named. In 1679, Portsmouth became not only the colonial capital, but also a refuge for exiles from Puritan Massachusetts. I thought it might have something to do with us English at some point

The older sections of the cemeteries have so much character!!

Yesterday video was wonderful. You did a great job with telling their story. The flower falling was strange, it happened after you said rest in peace. I live in one of the towns next to Portsmouth. Very pretty area.

It was a wonderful video and a special moment when the flower fell. I kept thinking if a flower does fall, it means the man is decent . I see you are called Ron....l will never forget it nor the respect and information you told us. Thank you so very much Ron. It was completely unforgettable. There are so many old graves there. It's an amazing cemetery.

Great episode, Ron! I love it when you read close-ups of the stones rather than walking past them all on the way to a specific one. I know time is sometimes an issue. Remembering these people that have not been seen for many years is very special. Love all your episodes and try to watch and like them all.

Visiting many local graveyards in my region, I have never experienced anything supernatural. But the people who rest there with headstones sharing the most facinating and even sad stories. I visited a cemetery in Clarksville, Pennsylvania on a road trip that was so peaceful in rural America. Everyone should take a moment to visit a cemetery and explore and put life in perspective.

Certainly a beautiful cemetery! Thanks for taking us along on the walk with you! Have a great Tuesday Ron!

Thank you for a wonderful walk-around at this very interesting cemetery!!

Beautiful cemetery loved the stones. Nice day for a walk.

Yeah Ron, when the yellow rose rolled off the headstone that gave me the shivers. I believe that the spirits are alive and well and are among us, but don't be afraid of them most are like you and me. I actually think they are the ones who are in fear and worried for where they may go? some are lost, some are angry. I really enjoyed todays walk, such a beautiful old and well kept up cemetery with beautiful headstones as well. Yah! Ron, the morning walks are a bit cooler, now that's a good idea! Love N Peace!

I love this cemetery! Very peaceful and packed full of history!

Gorgeous old cemetery! Regarding the obelisk: Levi Woodbury (the father of Charles Levi) is one of the few people to have served in all three branches of federal government. His son Charles was a U.S. District Attorney for Mass.

Beautiful cemetery. I can just imagine that energy flows freely there. Great job as always. Thank you ☺️

Brilliant. Amazing stories, thankyou❤

Such beautiful stones. I love the wrought iron. It is usually so fancy. Enjoyed the walk.

Very interesting history ! Thanks for sharing Ron !

I would agree with the wagon think. Very hard and very noisy to drag onr of those behind. Plus, it is not always easy terrain. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!!

Re visiting yesterdays world, if those headstones could speak. The ax murder of the sisters was interesting but sad. Horrible death for Karen and Anethe. One good outcome Maren and her dog were saved by Maren's quick thinking, but to live the rest of her life with the horrible death of her sisters must have been painful. Thanks for today's walk, love walking in the mornings too, very peaceful. Super interesting cemetery.

First, I CANNOT stop laughing 😆 at the thought of you wearing an apron and trudging through the Cemetaries pulling a wagon with all the supplies the viewers think you need! I think you are doing fine! Anyway, loved the walk today! I do miss the walks where you just show us the different stones and don't have a special story. This waa fun for me! Everyone is still talking about the rose 🌹 falling! I guess you just never know! Maybe she didn't like yellow roses! Thanks as always Ron! 🙏 💕

Rest in peace everyone. My opinion: As for Annithe's flower fall off her grave. Yes it could be paranormal, or an animal, or bird being inquisitive. I had many paranormal experiences in my life. One was with a double white petunia I placed on my mother's grave. It did not have any buds or flowers on the plant but the very next day I went back to water them & talk about shocked there was one big white double petunia fully bloomed. My mother loved flowers & died before her time. Stay safe Sir & everyone. Ps. As for the cross it could be the Maltese Cross, or one of the Knights Templar, Crosses.

the drone work was amazing as always.thank you.

You have such a beautiful heart so of course you are going to attract spirits, stay safe out there and as always thank you for what you do ❤️

I saw the flower as well. Had to rewind accouple of times. It was really strange.

I believed it was paranormal when I saw it last night. Very odd. Great walk. Beautiful sunrise. Thanks, Ron 💜

I Saw The Flowers Fall and It Was Interesting I Think It May Have Been That The Two Ladies That Were Murdered were Saying Thank You To Ron For Remembering Them & Telling Their Story.

George Frederick Pearson (1799 - July 1, 1867) was rear-admiral of the United States Navy, commanding the Pacific Squadron during the later part of the American Civil War. George F. Pearson was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in 1799 but lived most of his life in Massachusetts. He entered the U.S. Navy on March 11, 1815, as a midshipman, and his first ship was the frigate United States. In 1820 Midshipman Pearson served on the ship of the line Independence. In 1822 he was on the ship of the line Franklin and passed for promotion at the West Indies station. Pearson was commissioned lieutenant on January 13, 1825, and was given duty on the West Indies station. Lt. Pearson's assignment was on the schooner Porpoise in the Mediterranean in 1826. In 1828, he was with the Mediterranean Squadron on the sloop-of-war Ontario. In 1829 he took a leave of absence which lasted until 1831 when he joined the sloop of war Boston on the Mediterranean Station. From 1832 to 1836, he was again on leave, or waiting for orders or stationed as Ordinary at Boston until he was assigned to the Constellation the flagship for Commodore Alexander Dallas of the West Indies Squadron, where it conducted operations supporting the Second Seminole War. Pearson was promoted to commander on September 8, 1841.[1] After the sloop of war Boston completed repairs it set sail from New York under the command of Commander Pearson on November 7, 1846, to join the Home Squadron blockading the eastern coast of Mexico. Eight days out of port, Boston ran aground on Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas after encountering a storm. Boston was wrecked beyond salvage, but her entire crew survived the disaster. On September 14, 1855, Pearson was promoted to captain. In 1860 Person was given command of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. On December 21, 1861, Captain Pearson was put on the retired list, but continued in command of the Portsmouth Naval Yard, being promoted to commodore on the retired list, July 16, 1862. On October 4, 1864, Commodore Pearson was given command of the Pacific Squadron, serving at that post from 1864 to 1866 as Acting Rear Admiral aboard his flagship Lancaster. Under his command Commander Henry Kallock Davenport suppressed the so-called Salvador Pirates, a Confederate Navy plot to capture one of the two Panama Railroad steamships and turn it into a Confederate commerce raider to capture a gold-laden Pacific Steamship Company vessel. His squadron continued to protect American lives and property in Mexico and became in the same mission in Peru, defending them from attack by either side both during the Spanish blockade during the Peruvian War with Spain. After the Civil War ended in May 1865, Pearson's Pacific Squadron had to deal with the CSS Shenandoah. Its captain, unaware of war's end, was attacking American whaling ships in the North Pacific as late as August 1865. From 1866 to 1869 the Pacific Squadron was split into North and South Pacific Squadrons. Pearson served as South Pacific Squadron's first commander, as rear admiral in command of the South Pacific Squadron being promoted to rear admiral on Retired List, July 25, 1866. His squadron continued to be involved in protecting American interests in Panama and the Pacific coast of South America due to the ongoing war by Peru, Ecuador and Chile with Spain. After being relieved of duty in the Pacific, he returned to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where he died, July 1, 1867, at the age of 68.

Hi Ron im here watching this video and enjoying the walk thru this cemetery 🪦....hope you are doing okay!! ☺️......yes I had yu go back and look about the flower and it was spooky and nest seeing the flower dropped down after you put it there...

Nice day for a walk thru with you. Enjoy these so much. Beautiful stones.

That’s a beautiful cemetery, you could walk for several days looking at all the old stones. That’s an interesting cemetery…

Hey Ron Wow! What A Cool Old Graveyard Some Of Them Go Way Way Back..By The Way Ron My Friends Dad's Called Israel It's An Unique Name I Must Admit Love All What You Do Mate Each And Every week Alway's Bringing Us Mere Mortals Amazing Stories Long May It Continue Sir......

Thank you for this from MN. I've always loved cemeteries but your videos have encouraged me to start exploring. I've already found a semi famous congressman grave in Mora, MN

We had a Gould family here in NY. They started the Gould Pumps factory here. Still going strong.

Amazing stones! Thank you for this adventure❤️

I was just dying to see in that mausoleum! Oh, I wish they made cams for that sort of thing! Thank you Ron, once again, for a wonderful cemetery walk and visit into history! 🪦❤-Nina

It will be a great adventure 😊 ✨️ watching all those stories you will cover in your videos!!😇👍🏻

That was what I was thinking! It gave me chill bumps! How did your flower fall then the other flower fell. I took a deep breath and I know my eyes got big as saucer! It was freaky!

Lived in Portsmouth. There is a small cemetery near downtown that has REALLY old graves.

I thought you were in my hometown in England for a second and I nearly died 😂

Ron thanks for another great adventure. As far as the flower goes something moved it and it wasn’t the wind. 😳🇺🇸👮🏻‍♂️

Hello Ron hope your doing well. loved the walk through Harmony Grove Cemetery btw. Portmouth is a beautiful town as well as Kittery, Maine across the bridge from Portsmouth. My family and I visited Portsmouth quite a bit during the summers, my parents had a summer home in Rye Beach, New Hampshire. But anyways I watched very closely how you layed the yellow single rose on Anthe's grave, had to rewind several times, and when you placed the rose, you kinda crinkled the leaves on the rose and you can see the leaves slowly move to straighten themselves out, which made the rose move and drop, when dropped the weight of the rose caused the older dried up rose to fall because it was dried & frail which was to weak to stay on its own. You have to watch it very closely to see the leaves move..Now don't get me wrong here, I believe in things spiritual, and I do believe in ghost because, I might sound silly here, I saw one in my parents house. It's a long story, and perhaps I will tell you sometime. But as far as the rose moving by some unseen force, not really, but it is a great ending ☺ Again Ron loved the walk through the cemetery today, miss those walks..Enjoy the rest of the week, suppose to eventually get cooler where you are..Take care Ron! ❤

I love this cemetery, a lot too see and read.

I saw that! It was strange for sure. I really enjoyed the history. Great job!

That's a nice historical place the stories that can be told 😀 👌

Hi Ron, I just love your pink shirt, that's my favorite color! The tall red flowers on those two graves are called Cannas. I am enjoying all of your videos and I love all the scenery from the drone. That is just fantastic! Keep up the good work!

I saw that Ron at the end of your last video. It was a little freaky the way those flowers fell off the edge of the tombstone. Did you put it back? This is a beautiful old cemetery.

All Graveyards and Cemeteries have Energy . There is Vibration all around us. Keep it Positive

Beautiful cemetery & beautifully kept head stones. I admire your work at finding the story behind a terrible death. Thank you so much.

Lovely historical cemetery. Amazing that small town has 15 cemeteries, many notable. Beautiful country there and quite vibrant. Enjoy your visit.

I commented yesterday, it was definitely a spirit who moved the flowers

Thank you for sharing🕊🪦💜 Yes, I did notice about the flowers..wasn't sure exactly what happened🌺

I did notice the flower falling in the episode , I have had a few paranormal experiences filming my channel , I had a weird bright anomaly quickly shoot past the camera zooming into the tombstone when I wanted a close up for people to read , we slowed it down to see if it was a bug ,but no it was different shape and moved differently I have no explanation and as I said beautiful cemetery thanks for showing and love your channel been a huge fan from the beginning .

i was curious and looked it up... the Tantons did have a surviving daughter who lived to age 77.

Hi! I really enjoy your channel. I was amazed when the flower fell. It was new to me to see the pictures of the deceased on the tombstone. I remember every Easter putting flowers on my Grandmother's grave. I am fairly new to your channel and as I said it is interesting to me. Thanks for all you do!

Flashlights really do help reading the old stones. Amazing cemetery.

Ron I thought the same thing when that Rose got Flicked off! Like, I'm undeserving is what I got. Great Video

Eliza Tanton lost the two children, infant Jennie, toddler Charles n had one remaining daughter, Carrie Tanton Wendell 1861-1939.

Seeing that rose move was too cool good job Ron

Very cool walk Ron. Cool historical Cemetery.

Awesome review. Thx for taking us to New Hampshire. First info I have every seen within the boundaries of NH. Very intriguing cemetery.

Ron placed the flower on top of another, stiff dead flower. You could see he had a hard time placing it, with the petals leaning towards the front of the stone. The weight of the new flower placed down unevenly, over the dead, stiff flower, almost in an "x" shape, is what pulled it down.

Hi sir Ron!! I'm glad i'm on time😊

Ron, I have a story for you. I was told about it and was trying to dig up info to share with you when our local paper ran the story, they are better at sleuthing than I am. I would send you the newspaper if you are interested.

The regional variation in headstones is really interesting. I noticed some shield shapes that were unusual.

I saw the flowers fall! No wind. It was soooo creepy!

Gone but not forgotten!!!!

Cooler Temps in the morning too. Love cemeteries and golf courses in the morning.

Paranormal activity /holy spirit it's all around us weather we believe it or not , appreciate what you do for history THAT I never knew ever happened or exist.... good job

Usually if there’s a paranormal activity, suddenly there’s a cold spot. The spirit in order to manifest itself, has to take a lot of energy, sometimes draining batteries of electronics.

Merci Ron c'est toujours très beau !

If you’re heading to Boston be sure to check out the Phipps cemetery in Charlestown. One of the oldest (1600s). It’s a small gated cemetery but worth it if you’re in the area. Call the park department as they allow visitors but it’s locked and need an appt. They filmed parts of the movie “The Town” with Ben Affleck there.
