@@cindybrian5589, every so often they have "Joe Noshoulders" as a Special Guest. Here is a video from early May with an appearance. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xn6pD7fdAVw.html
Thank you for helping to document these abandoned and forgotten cemeteries. I just want you to know that your time is not wasted and what you are doing is valuable and appreciated. It is important.
It’s heartbreaking to see these graves abandoned n uncared for. I love old cemeteries n their beautiful headstones. It’s also interesting to see how the popular names for the time era.
My wife's family, here in So. side VA, were Johnstons. They were here before the Revolutionary War. I would not be at all surprised if these GA Johnstons were not related. Good video.
10:10 That large stone is likely the base to a vertical gravestone that was either never placed or more likely has been destroyed. I say this because of the two holes in the stone where the gravestone would have been mounted.
That was once a pretty and quiet cemetery and hopefully it can be restored some day. Surely there must be some descendants still alive in that general area.
Thanks for the new video! I was out cemetery walking today in White County Arkansas. Got some cool shots of headstones. Even a fellow who was “shot by bushwackers” in 1861 in the Civil War! Keep up your great adventures 😊
Seeing the sad shape of this cemetery and like so many other forgotten ones you've documented, it's hard to believe at one time there were people mourning or celebrating lives in a time when these cemeteries were revered
I live near Phoenix and often head up the OHV trails and you can quite often find graves near abandoned mine camps and old ghost towns. The really sad ones are on the old "El Camino del Diablo" (The Devil's Road) which was used by early Native Americans, Spanish Conquistadors, and prospectors. The road crosses a couple hundred miles of harsh desert along the modern US/Mexico border. The only water are small pools (called "tanks") that fill up after monsoon storms and slowly evaporate. Many travelers died due to dehydration and there are a few graves near one of these tanks. The legend is that three men were found dead near an empty tank, but a full tank was only 80 feet up the hill. They were buried in shallow graves. The stones are still there and people still leave flowers. I do not believe their names were ever known after death.
I think it’s sad how a cemetery this large could be totally forgotten. It’s obviously been neglected for many years and it’s terrible. I’m sure a lot of people buried there has decedents living today.
Missed Sidestep Adventures, thought you and or family members or friend got Covid-19. Glad to see you and Cody, well! Nice haircut, and semi shaved beard, it looks very nice. I know it's probably humid down there (cause we've had a lot of rain lately) can you get a beehive gear hat with mesh net? It might help you when your out there from those pesky horse fly's. I hate them things! And keep a safety box in your car, those nettles hurt like the dickens! Baking Soda would work! The cemetery, thank you again for another great adventure. It is very sad to see it overgrown and the families all deceased and forgotten by people. With Covid still hanging and in some places getting stronger, its hard to get out there and chop, cut and clean up these treasures. So thank you Robert and Cody, for one staying safe, and two, for going on an adventure.
YOU need a stiffer broom Thanks for all your hard work in documenting all these lovely graves sites. God bless 🙏🙏🙏 you and your team'. May God allow you to do this a long time ,✝️🛐💜👍
Why can't anyone willing to go to any abandoned cemetery and clean up and make it as respectable cemetery again??? It's not fair to all who are buried and then forgotten about it. They deserve more than that!
Hi Robert & Cody plus support team, you guys are really lovely, caring people. I cannot believe how many cemeteries there are that are just hiding in among the woods. Thank you for caring for these people and letting their names be spoken again after such a long time being forgotten. xx💖
Could the large quarry rock grave that you mentioned was an infants grave, with the “&” symbol, be for twins? Just a thought. That may explain its size.
Interesting video as always, thank you! I did a LOT of hiking and backpacking and the only bug stuff we used was 'The old woodsmen' same formula since the 1800's, it stinks but it may help with those miserable deer flies. You put a couple drops on your hat and then if you put a bandana on your neck with some that should help too. Doesn't help as I recall with horseflies but pretty effective for other insects. I checked amazon and it is still sold there, been using the stuff since the 1970's. Hope this helps if you continue on your adventures during the summer :)
Thank you so much for your efforts to bring back to life these forgotten people from a forgotten time. You always leave me wondering how these people lived, what were their lives like.
Thank you again for another adventure. If those that have passed could spend a day now in the present. I wonder what they'd say? Its so sad to see cemeteries in that condition.
Thank you Robert for yet another thoroughly interesting video. Thank God there are people around like you to give them the Respect they deserve. Thank you. 🍀❤🍀
you are so interesting to watch i admire the respect you give to all people that have passed can't wait for part four . Keep up the good work to all of you .
Thank you Robert and Cody for the update video on this fascinating cemetery. Personally I think there is a certain peaceful beauty in cemeteries like this where nature is reclaiming the land. I'm not talking about cemeteries that are vandalized or used as trash dumps, but nature left unchecked just doing her thing. Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to the next video!
Thank you for helping to make sure these people are remembered. I have ancestors from Georgia where to this point their graves have not been found. I always watch just in case you have to run across them. (1800's) Thank you for caring and all the hard work you do.
Thanks for all of the hard work. It is nice to hear the people buried in those graves being ackowledged and their memory living on. Thanks for cleaning them off to make them readable.
Thank you again for your cemetery finds. This one was sadder than most, for me. Quite a few without names or anything else to mark their passing . Such an old cemetery for us in the US.
You need a leafblower, garden clippers, and heavy-duty insect repellent as well, LOL. Thanks again for all you do to keep these cemeteries and the folks who reside not forgotten.
Robert WONDERFUL job like always well done, not everyone do what you do specially with all that flies and needles around you YOU HAVE TO BE PROUD OF YOURSELF AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING WITH YOU Like always great JOB
At the beginning of this video where you pointed out the wildflowers there was a grave that caught my eye, the last name was Boone and it said North Carolina on it. My ancestors are Boone and they are from Pennsylvania down to North Carolina and related to Daniel Boone.
Hello Robert,glad to see that you are well. This cemetery certainly has some unusual stones doesnt it. Great video as always,love the one with the little lamb on little Julia.So sad. Thank you
It’s a really great thing your doing. It’s so important to have any type of documentation. My mother is genealogist and I know how much this appreciated. Someone in the future will be looking for these ancestors graves. Do you keep a written copy, or maps. Local historians would really appreciate this information. Sorry, I’m new to your channel and you may do these things already. So impressed with the care. Hello from Canada.
Its really cool of you to find these graves and share them with us. Thank you for that. @Sidestep Adventures Try not to touch the spot where the stinging nettle zaps you. You can push the poisons in deeper and that can cause the irritation to last a lot longer. Days longer in some instances. Many blessings to you! 🙏
Gosh Robert I loved that. I really don’t understand the thumbs down. I love the way you do these the respect you show I’m sure they would appreciate. Look forward to the next one
Thank you for working so hard in an emotionally difficult and stressful environment . Very few have ventured where you have gone for so long. Be sure to take a rest from time to time when needed. I have been meaning to mention to you about your finding of the new redone Boone graveyard stone that mentioned that he had been born in NC. This new stone is an indication that this is an important historical stone. The original Daniel Boone came from NC, so this Boone most likely was a descendant. They eventually spread out all over the country including Texas.
There might not be any city there anymore if there was one to begin with. Back then people and families were buried close to their homesteads which aren't there anymore.
I do not know if it is still true or not, but in Missouri , in the country, there was a day to visit family and clean up their loved ones graves. I think it was called Flowers Day. Most little cemeteries contained artificial flowers. Churches if existing , were often tidy though abandoned. There was shockingly a large cemetery in the St Louis area which was in terrible condition in the nineties and they still struggle with it today. It was a black cemetery , Very many volunteers both black and white tried to restore the cemetery. In the many years a friend and I spent on the country roads of Missouri and Southern Illinois , I never saw a cemetery in such terrible shape. I thank you for your dedication in uncovering the history of these neglected places, These stones stacked in a pre- historic manor are very interesting.
It's a shame that noone cares for the graves. In my city in Nürnberg they flat graves in our graveyards and crush the stones for building streets. So it's better i think that this graveyard is slowly allowed to be taken by nature.
Georgia has some interesting graves that have been incorporated into the infrastructure. Savanah/ Hilton Head airport has two graves located IN one of the runways. (Runway 10, look at the runway intersection, then head West keeping an eye on the top black stripe. You will see the two graves in the runway.) The reason is the airport was built on old farmland. When they went to extend the runways the graves would be in the way, however by agreement with the family of the deceased, the graves were to be undisturbed. So...there they lie, a few feet off the centerline at a major airport.
