Robert according to United States Cemetery Abstracts film # 008093593 Grace Roberts born Feb 14 1902 died May 20 1902 dau of ET & GM Roberts is buried in Davis Family Cemetery but Averett is in William Cemetery .... maybe 2 adjoining family cemeteries ???
Just imagine the greeting Robert, Robert, and Cody will receive when they reach Heaven. All the people whose names they have spoken will be waiting for them.
You and your team are the cemetery whispers. You don’t find them they find you. All the deceased want is to be remembered and respected and your team and you do a great job in doing so. Happy New Years and cheers to more videos to come.
This just shows how quickly nature reclaims, and how briefly we bloom on earth. I love that you are always so respectful. looking forward to the next one. Marie
I know of a person who just decided to look after an old grave. When they visited their Dad they'd pull the weeds at this other grave of a soldier. It would be great if people could volunteer somehow to look after graves like these. But in the absence of that it's so special that you guys spent time there and cared to read them. There's such a time gap between the people who died and us today, you'd wonder what they'd think of it all 🌼🌸🌼
Averett Josiah Middlebrooks a farmer born 1862 Aug 2 Harris County, died July 26 1934 Cataula GA ...wife Laura born Aug 1855, son of Isiaac Edward Middlebrooks & Matilda (Davis) brother to George W & A Jackson Middlebrooks buried William Cemetery (info taking from death certificate) Undertaker was The Trading Company Chipley GA
Good research on the couple. You may be aware already but just in case, readers might want to know that Chipley is now known as Pine Mountain Georgia. Makes me wonder if this cemetery is close to PM.
@@ellenfarmer3498 They had no birth control plus day did not have sanitary conditions when they was havin their babies. But you need to read your Bible is all part of God's plan. Then back in they need in the children to be the labor to help run the Farm there was no Electric. Plus there is measles mumps and chicken Pox No antibiotics. Children did die.
@@ellenfarmer3498 Back in those days it was very common to have 10,12 children, Parents were lucky if two or three made it to adult hood, lots of children died in childbirth, or because of no antibiotics, or vaccines for diseases like Small pox, Yellow Fever, Measles, German Measles, just to name a few.
Georgia Ben Grant was the daughter of Edward A Williams and Elizabeth Davis Williams. James Munroe Grant was her husband, Eddie and Jimmie Shirlie were daughters of Georgia and James Grant. Sarah Cornelia Williams was also daughter of EA & EE Williams. Haven't figured out Bettie Williams Johnson yet. Probably another daughter (Mary B ? in census records) and Mary Pauline Johnson was Bettie's daughter?? And Fletcher Carmen Grant was also a daughter of Georgia and James Grant.
I am marble artisan in Italy, the sign are very beauti and hand made , the grave corrosion is because the acid rain is very hard, in all the world...Tanck for interesting video made whit respect for this person of 1900, good new year from Italy
I love how you read each name. Some of those names may not have been spoken in over 100 years. Its sad how the father passed 1 month before his daughter.
I have been binging this channel for the past few days, and every time I am hit with the same very sobering thought: This will be most of us one day. Overgrown, our names no longer spoken. It's incredible, moving, and so kind of you all to go to these forgotten places and speak the names of those who have passed. Bless ya'll.
So I was reading a historical book from the early mid 1800s. It spoke of the need to do to stacked stone graves because the ground was too frozen to dig. I am not sure that is the case in Georgia. But it does get pretty cold there occasionally. There are many stacked stone graves near where my uncle was buried this year in southern Illinois.
I hope a group of volunteers come by and clean this up. Would be nice even to leave flowers in a area for all that are buried here, Thanks for sharing this.
Keep in mind that the deaths around the 1918 - 1921 period may be attributed to the Spanish flu. Love you guys...but honestly admire Grandpa Robert for his sheer enthusiasm...hurting and creaky old bod and all xx
23 minute vid. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That Cedar tree is VERY old. The graves are probably pretty early burials. I'm glad to see this is Part 1!!!!! Looks interesting. I really liked that music at the end. Nice.
Really breaks my heart to see these forgotten cemeteries. Thank heavens when we were doing some family research we were able to find my great great grandparents and replace their headstones.
I am amazed at how intricately carved some of those headstones are. They are just beautiful. Looks like at least part of it might have started out as a family grave site as there are so many Grants. You really have to get Robert a steak sandwich LOL Film him getting it. Keep Safe ❤ Keep Well ❤
Thank you Robert! I subscribe to many YT channels but this one is by far my favorite! My second favorite is Watch Yer Step. Loving the Byrd House work! Fascinating channels!
I'm glad that I'm not the only person that can be driving along and notice a random cemetery! I understand "that" glimpse that you were talking about. Those tombstones are in really good condition for being over 100 years old. If you are ever in Atlanta, look up Hollywood Cemetery, the portion on Gun Club Rd is non-perpetual care, it's a forest with tombstones all over the place (both sides of Gun Club Rd). The latest tombstone that I saw there, the person died in 1973. Records were destroyed in a fire back in 1973ish.
Another exciting find! It never ceases to amaze me how beautifully made the headstones are. I'm impressed at how well they hold up over the decades. Making them was an art. I love that you find these forgotten cemeteries.❤
If a tree falls in the woods, and Noone sees it fall..did it still fall? Don't be sad that nothing matters, instead I think that if nothing really matters then ANYTHING can matter! I mean that, you can decide what's important and what the meaning is. Also even if your forgotten your past energy and influence still creates waves in the world, at least for a little while. It can be anything! Maybe you saved a catipillar about to get squashed and now it's a butterfly that continues on.
Both you Robert's and Cody's work will not go unnoticed when you reach Saint Peter and the Pearly Gates!! Absolutely love what your doing and the effort y'all are puttin out to find these folks. Much love and respect to y'all.
Thank you Robert and Robert and cody for sharing another cemetery so family can find there missing family members, please be safe out there and God bless you and your family and friends ✝️
Aloha Robert, was wondering if anyone takes care of these cemetery's after you visit? The notations on the graves are so beautiful. Thank you for taking us along.
I don't know how you find these cemeteries - you have a sixth sense or something, it was so hidden. What a lost place. So sad to know those people are there forgotten. Thank you for what you do to honor them.
Thank you for a great video. I was Cemetery exploring today myself, the phrase 'gone but not forgotten' just frustrates me because they are forgotten until we stumble upon them. Someone on here once said, as long as their name is read they are no longer forgotten. 🙂
Wauw i really really like these hidden and abandoned cemetries. You are doing a great job boys to give these People there names back. Love watching you guys, greetz from the Netherlands😁
I can't believe it! I keep spotting surnames from my family in your area. Moore, and Baker are match names on my Ancestry. Walker is my maternal side. Some day when we can afford to, I really want to go out there and see all of these cemeteries. Thank you for all you guys do, finding, documenting, cleaning up these places. You are very good men, so kind.
This was a great find and you are so funny Robert that you are always interrupting the other Roberts lunch. You will have to keep snacks for him. This was so interesting that you found this cemetery by just driving by. All these graves from the 1800's are amazing. They look like they are are in better shape than some you have video in the past. Can't wait to see part two.
Another unique find and a new Sidestep Adventure. 🤗 Very interesting headstones. I see future visits to clean off some stones. 👍 Looks like this place hasn't been maintained in yrs. And it's a big place to boot. Nice to see Robert senior with a new shirt.. 😆 Nothing wrong being a senior, I'm one too. 🥳 Thanks for sharing this Adventure .....👍
Thanks again for finding another lost graveyard they won’t be forgotten now you and Cody and Robert found them god bless all 3 of you I learn a lot watching you’re show can’t wait for the next one from Kentucky.
What a peaceful old cemetery. Love the epitaphs. It shows how much people cared back then. Without revealing the location, is there a old abandoned community near by? I know that caretakers die off but this one appears to be long forgotten.
I am so very happy that there are people out there who still cares about FAMILY CEMETERY where they are never forgotten. 🌟👍🌟 and its also like the caretaker's of the CEMETERY just don't care or the family members past on themselves
Looked up this cemetery on Find A Grave. There are only 14 graves listed and no pictures. I don't know if someone went there but didn't finish it or if a family member just added them from written documents they had. It appears to be a family cemetery or maybe even 2. Be nice if y'all could take pictures of all of the headstones then finish the cemetery page on Find A Grave. This really needs to be documented. I bet this was a beautiful cemetery a long time ago. Looking forward to part 2.
Robert rarely gives the location of his finds because he has respect for the current land-owners, and the cemetery itself. You are about the dozenth person on here that I've responded to because folks just expect everything to be public these days. I have three "forgotten cemeteries" within walking distance of my home, and I quit sharing their location long ago. I have had to deal with ghost-hunters, amateur history buffs, metal detectorists and vandals, and I'm sick of it. A few old-timers know about them, and keep their mouths shut. I gladly share names and dates with legitimate genealogists, but no way would I pass on where these ancient people sleep anymore.
I love the Side Step adventures!! My FAV when ever I see the notification!! Sooo interesting to see these places!! An jus off to the sides of the road!! Those head Stone's seem so pretty and fancy!! Thanks Robert 1 n Robert 2 for teaching me how to look for AND recognize the maker's mark!! I love OLD thing's, for me my Dad being a wood worker an having that love for OLD WOOD thing's started MY interest yrs ago as a young kid, I USED to be able to recognize tree's by their leaves and bark lol I don't remember it all NOW but my brother does so I jus ask him when UNsure!! I wld LOVE to do a adventure like Side Step does!! My oldest daughter lives an does things around Calhoun the city not the cnty, I wonder how many untouched adventure's are around her area??!! I live on the gulf coast of Florida, so we're gonna need to make some plans for a visit REAL SOON!! Lovin the adventure from Florida!! ♥️♥️🌴🌴♥️♥️
I just want to come and buy the other Robert a steak sandwich. Elizabeth Davis died on my birthday(May 28) It’s neat to think about how she lived her life and passed away 106 years before me.
WOW U GUYS ARE SO RESPECTFUL and so amazing when it comes to cleaning annd restoring old hidstorical sites like grave yards that have been abandoned and lost to wither away in talll weeeds and decaying leaves thank u so much for what u do
Is it possible that there was a restoration done at some point? Some of the headstones look so much better than others of that same age. Thank you so much for stopping and sharing this final resting place. It was interesting to see!
Awwwww that was an awesome find.....sad when it ended but got another video to look forward too 💗. Different eras and names and styles if burial....thanks for sharing. Time and ppl may have forgotten these souls but one things for sure GOD knows each and everyone of them 🤴. Hope y'all had a safe and blessed New Year Sidestep gang 🕊️
Robert's some of the inscriptions on these stones can put a lump in your throat. I'm headed to go see my Mom an Dad an Brother's Graves tomorrow. I hope for a much better year this New Year. I'm headed back up to Missouri to get much better zpictures of Cemetery's. Can't wait, I'm so ready.
Hi to you guys, I used to love going and checking graveyards with a friend who liked it as much as I did. I always looked for the oldest and the children The older headstones always had nice if not beautiful words or sonnets.... I have something to throw out to each of you.... Totally in respect. Since this is something you guys love to do...... Heres my thought: It would be really be even more cool if you EACH carried with you in your vehicles, A bag containing brushes for the graves as well as other utensils. Another being...a headstone solution that you can apply n brush the words so that they are much more easy to read plus...you would be helping these people be even more... Less forgotten. Yep.... A bag on the run. Just my 2 cent worth since i too am a fan of what you do
