ROBERT GOOD MORNING WAZUP WHEN WE'RE GOING TO GET A NEW VIDEO WE KNOW YOU'RE REALLY BUSY WITH THE BIRD FARM WORKING HARD BUT DON'T FORGET THE PEOPLE THEY'RE BEEN FORGOTTEN IN GA WOODS DON'T DROP THE GOOD WORK YOU BEEN DOING GOOD LUCK MAN....
Just another sign our civilization is in a state of decline. If we no longer respect the memory of our dead, how much longer will we respect the living? Many thanks to these fine gentlemen for bringing us into remembrance.
Our civilization isn't in a state of decline, it's just changing. There's a host of reasons why cemeteries become abandoned. Some are family cemeteries on family land that no longer belongs to the family. Some are from small towns that no longer exist. Some are public but there's no money for perpetual upkeep and all the families have moved away. History is full of change, and part of that change is moving on and leaving the past behind. Why do you think we're discovering ancient gravesites today? If civilization is declining then it started long before fire, the wheel, or agriculture because that's how long people have left the dead where they were buried and moved on to greener pastures.
In Europe you have possession of your grave for 75 to 100yrs depending on graveyard arrangements! Your bones will be disinterred and moved to a bone house or reinterpret elsewhere in the graveyard! This leaves time for family and friends to visit! Almost always you become forgotten by that time! Of course the famous and infamous are historical sites !
I can't tell you how deeply this effects me...it's so kind of you to care enough to identify lost relatives,and remember these graves . The epitaphs bring tears to my eyes. Thank you, Robert,Other Robert and Cody.
What a neat place. Thank you for adding these folks to our family. I have not heard of the Sons of the Revolutionary War. I'll have to do some reading. Robert moved a hellva lot of pine straw and totally deserves a Whopper, WITH fries!
The Cemetery appears to have been well kept at one time. Some very interesting markers!! 🥺 Sad that in today's world all the old cemeteries are left abandoned. 😟 Thank You Boys for all you do to bring these souls back to our memories. 😌
No my dear, we are all going to eventually die and be forgotten. It's just how it is, and has always been. There are countless graves of Native peoples in the forests that have been gone to dust long before settlers came to the America's. We will never know who they were or how they lived, just like my ancestors from a hundreds of years ago before records were kept, who I will never know anything about. Yes it's sad that graves go uncared for, but eventually it will happen to all of us, unless we're someone very famous or prominent in the history books.
Excellent Thanks. They will not be forgotten as long as the names as spoken. One day you may locate my lost loved ones. Blessings Robert, Robert and Cody!
Hallo Robert and friends from croatia i love this video thank you i love the old historry and everrithing from that time i love the old Woods and your videos verry much big love to you and friends
Thank you so much. My husband's great,great grandfather fought in civil war. Donnelly was his name. Thank you for keeping those lost souls not forgotten.🇺🇸🇺🇸
Very fascinating as usual. The children's graves tug so hard at my heartstrings. As a mother i cannot begin to imagine having to bury my child. My grandmother in her lifetime had to bury 4 children (2 were not infants) & 2 teenage grandchildren. I never realized until i had my own children how truly awful that must have been. I hope & pray i never live long enough to have to bury a child or grandchild. It would truly be my undoing.
Thank you, all of you! Cutting down that tree, cleaning off as much as ya'll could. This was a big cemetery, and those Padillio's had a lot of kids. So sad to see how young they were when they died. Hope one day ya'll come back and weed whack them tall weeds.
I think you are so awesome. Question to you...with all you do do you ever feel their spirits? I can't believe that not one soul hasn't tried to reach out to thank you 🙏🏻🥰. God bless you. I love the old cemeteries ❤
Hello, In the 1870’s some people used zinc tombstone monuments like the one you found here. I, in my graveyard/cemetery searching have seen many. They visibly are easy to spot and stand out because of their whiteness against old lichen covered stone ones. Thank You for sharing your adventures. As I mentioned , I have researched Victorian cemeteries for 40 plus years. It so fascinating to peek into the past lives of people through their epitaphs.
If you think of all the people who have lived , died ... There is probably not a foot of land that someone is not buried in . if course the land holds only earthly remains . the spirits are elsewhere
We enjoyed you video of the Ghost Town Graveyard, we are always in awe of you all for taking care of these forgotten graveyards. How sad the cities they are located in do not do a better job of caring for these sites. This is our history and we should protect it. How cool to find grave stones from the 1800's and earlier. These were humans beings before us that shaped our country
Alston Massey was a brother of my GGG grandmother Charlotte Massey Holley who is buried in the Holley cemetery in Coffee Co, Al. Nice little surprise for me as I watched this episode. Appreciate all the work you do and sharing it with your viewers.
It just kills me every single time that the graves have been grown over so much that you're really breaking back just to clean it off. I have never just never in my life imagined that so many gravesites are as such. My mom and dad are buried in huge military cemetery along a freeway and it kills me to think this would ever happen to them one day. Not to mention my grandparents graves might be like this one day. I just am rolling over in my skin over these sites you guys visit. Someone should give you a million dollars just for caring and another million to film it and another million to clean them each off. I am so sorry about this.
My parents are buried at Fort Sam Houston national Cemetery in San Antonio,.It's owned by the Federal Government, so i'm not too worried about that.Around here are numerous old little cemeteries. Several in my town, one,with only 3 or 4 graves is behind the old movie screen for the former Starlight Drive Inn. Some of them are over grown, others like the Stapper cemetery off one of the old roads around here is well cared for.Think it is still used for burials. Others are just family plots.
Hi Robert and Robert, it's so sad to see those very young children graves forgetting like that, it just seems gone and forgotten with all them people layed to rest⛪ take care and stay safe.
Wow! This cemetery just gets better and better! I really enjoy when y’all pull up info on some of the residents of the town who are buried there. The Pattillo family seems to be pretty prominent in the community if they could afford headstones for so many family members. I love finding the zinc headstones in my own cemetery walks. The companies that sold these called them white bronze as you said although they were made of zinc. You are correct, they could be ordered from a catalog and shipped by train. The panels were customized with the persons info and then attached to the monument. Monuments usually came in pieces and the family had to assemble them. The zinc itself lasts forever but the screws used to assemble it often rust and that is how panels get lost. As always you fellas do great work👍🏻❤️
Love the zinc monument.. so called white bronze to make it sound fancier.. quite the history behind these.. I'm from Iowa and in Des Moines was one of the foundries that made these .. there were others in different parts of the county.. Have seen a lot of these .. from very tiny to massive 30 and 40 feet high ones ... the company Monumental bronze was in bussiness from 1874 to 1914.. when the government need the foundries and metal for the war effort.. they never really came back after the war.
Thank you so much Robert and Robert and cody for cleaning and trying to save as many graves as you can , please be safe out there and God bless you and your family and friends
Wow some really interesting graves there, love the Dr's ones where the lettering is raised, they really are readable for a long time yet, so fascinating, poor children, how sad, makes you wonder what they died of, thank you Robert, Robert and Cody for clearing some of those graves. Love it when Robert reads what's on the stones, your accent and voice is amazing, I could listen to you all day. If I were your kids I'd ask you to read to me all day.
It is so interesting the work that you do and the care you show. I love how you say their name and read their headstones. Thank you for all that you do, Robert ( and the other Robert).
What a shame that what must have been a prosperous community has vanished. I'm glad you, Cody and Robert are making this cemetery come alive again. It seems like a very welcoming place.
Its wonderful what your doing, finding all these lost graves that have a lot of decendants looking for their graves. Many of us searching every cemetery we hear about just to locate our ancestors graves. Thank you so much. Brenda Mason Campos
Always nice to see this trio. Other Robert's Only Shirt seems to have struck a deal with Dorian Gray's time keeper. And, I looked and I looked and I saw it.
Let me say that you Robert and the other Robert should be given somekind of medals for the work you do. You crushed my heart saying you had your chainsaw and you were going to do some good by removing that stuff off those little children, how compassionate.......you two are doing work that no one else wants to do and with pride and concern you two find, clean off and document these people, AWESOME...!!!!
My hat is off to you men! I started with my ancestors with Ancestry.com. And I love to go to the cemeteries and see what I can find and since watching what you’re all doing I plan to go to a small old cemetery that was right next to my parents farm when I was growing up. I know that there’s children there because when my youngest brother and I would visit with her ( Mom) and it’s a functional cemetery today. I love what you’re doing so that I too carry tools in my car to clean up around them and I also decorate my family’s sites, so I carry those supplies as well before Memorial Weekend. Thanks for the idea of what you are doing also I am around Wisconsin. And I have more relatives in the south and the east coast. I am starting to take pictures of my decorations so I know what to pack to make the decorations look bright and eye catching and I’m a VFW, a Lifetime member! I appreciate all I have learned from your videos.
I found this cemetery amazing. That metal grave seems to last longer than the stone kind. Very interesting n was so well done. Breaks my heart that these grave sites can’t be a little more maintain. It kinda angers me. I appreciate all of you trying to clean up some of the area. Thank goodness Robert you had your chain saw with ya. You guys got to remember your tools LOL. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍
Robert that is abig cemetery. But peaceful... Nice cemetery adventure. Happy to see u n robert cut down that thrown tree n got it out of the way. I'll say it again love see n the roll n back of dirt so oddsome...v🙂💕
I sure do enjoy these videos you're making the cemeteries brings back a lot of child of memories when we were tracing down our families craze through the eastern part of Iowa the lineville Harvey Knoxville Iowa those areas Lions Iowa and into Missouri there across the state line we went to a lot of cemeteries we had so much fun 😁 Thanks for sharing these videos 🙂☺️
I have ancestors that founded hodgenville kentucky and larue county, I will not be able to make it there, but watch your videos all the time, I am in walla walla washington and their children and grandchildren are here, can you please do a video locating their graves and where they might be, I love what you guys do and am a big fan and have even been trying to locate pioneer graves in this area and want to start a clean up process of them
that's the first time I have seen a metal tombstone, surprising how well it was preserved, this was a fascinating video, when the names are mentioned I think of what their lives must have been like.
There's a Facebook group called Cemetery Zinc (Zinkies). Very interesting and informative. I've seen many zinc headstones and the thing I like about them is everything is perfectly preserved and readable.
No O no You left us hanging! And here Robert wants a whopper! Great video and GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏. Now what! It better be good! I wouldn't mind a whopper myself!
I am shocked those bulldozers did not roll right over those graves and markers, hopefully your video will find a group of people who will preserve this cemetery!
Enjoyed the video - all those graves there forgotten by most. It's sad. Thank you for sharing the names of those who have passed. It's hard to fathom how many long forgotten cemeteries there are out there, hard to imagine how that happens.
This makes me so sad,. To see the neglected state this cemetery is in. I wish you could clear the undergrowth, It won't be long & all the ones you cleared. Will disappear again. At least you have said & remembered them for a fleeting moment. Brought a lump to my throat , you did the best you could. Bless you all so very much. 😭😭😭😭😭😭. Cheers & best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺🐨🦘👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Awesome video! The second doctor was born on my birthday, Nov. 16... pretty cool! We have some of those odd metal grave markers here in the west, but here too they are rare. I think it's pretty cool that some people had the forethought back then to create such a marker that would last so much longer than the stone ones. Keep up the good work!
I googled the name "Pattillo". There are a whole lot of them in Georgia, particularly the Atlanta area. I wonder if you found the Pattillo patriarch & matriarch graves?
Beautiful place. Y'all must have filmed this in the fall. Beautiful fall colors foliage. The Patillos had to be very interesting folks back in the day. May they all RIP
After so many years in which the cemetery is abandoned, it has some very beautiful and very interesting tombstones, thanks Roberto for another good video
Laying a stone horizontally exposes the engravings to the elements and erodes them. Pine straw has a lot of acid and eats away at the stone. Its a good thing that you're recording these stones before they erode away and disappear.

Thank you for finding my family. The Blanton family are connected to my Cockcroft and Culpepper Wilder Family.

I love to walk in old grave yard to see pictures of people I’ve never seen in a long time. Reading on the tomb stones. Vera

God Bless these guys for caring!!!
Thank you so much. My husband's great,great grandfather fought in civil war. Donnelly was his name. Thank you for keeping those lost souls not forgotten.🇺🇸🇺🇸

I do enjoy watching both of you and you both make something not fun and make it enjoy watching thank you both God bless all of you 🙏❤️
Thank You
We remember them today. Thank you Robert, Cody and Robert.
I just looked up those Hargett's and Shaffer Noel Hargett is my 5th cousin 3x removed! I'm glad I watched your video.

Get that man a Whopper!😊 So good to see you three, out and about doing good deeds and remembering those who have gone before us.😊🐝❤

Always makes me think of those that have gone before. The community they lived their lives in. Love the History.
You have all found some really old Graves. And what a blessing the work you do! I love it I really enjoy what you do.
If you think of all the people who have lived , died ... There is probably not a foot of land that someone is not buried in . if course the land holds only earthly remains . the spirits are elsewhere
Good stuff Robert .... the teaser to Part 3 keeps me engaged.
I'm from Amsterdam...i enjoy visiting old grave yards ..here in the Nederlands . I enjoyed this video..
YOU folks are our true heros!! Just a thought: These are no longer forgotten graves!! Please keep these souls alive in our hearts. Thanks guys...

My grandmother was a Massey, & I heard she owned property in SC, name Charity 1851 - 1934. She married a George Baker & died in GA.
Robert, this is my favorite videos. I love it when y’all find and clean up the forgotten graveyards!!!!
BLESS you all for doing this hard work at finding our beloved people who have passed 😇🙏💙

What’s fascinating to me is the metal grave marker has stood the test of time
Yes, and the detail is beautiful.
Bless you gentlemen for clearing that tree from the children's graves. I hope you all got some lunch after this adventure.
Hi Robert and Robert, it's so sad to see those very young children graves forgetting like that, it just seems gone and forgotten with all them people layed to rest⛪ take care and stay safe.
Thank ya'll so very much for uncovering those gravesites. Someone's loved ones. You guys are just special to do this.

Another awesome video! Thankyou!
You found some of my Williams family. Thanks
Good job, Gentlemen! Especially good to see young men taking an interest & caring.
What a shame that what must have been a prosperous community has vanished. I'm glad you, Cody and Robert are making this cemetery come alive again. It seems like a very welcoming place.
The other Robert just made my day .please feed him.
steak sandwich and sweet tea
Hahaha
Robert doesn't look like he misses too many meals :)
I really enjoy watching these videos. Thank you Robert, the other Robert and Cody for the work you all do.
Its wonderful what your doing, finding all these lost graves that have a lot of decendants looking for their graves. Many of us searching every cemetery we hear about just to locate our ancestors graves. Thank you so much. Brenda Mason Campos
Try looking for your family on “Find A Grave” here on the internet. It lists all graveyards in the USA. You can search for a lost relative.
Your videos are so inspiring. It's so wonderful what you do. I actually went out exploring some old cemeteries here in Ohio. 👍
Aloha Robert, Robert & Cody! Thank you for all you do! Aloha nou!
Always nice to see this trio. Other Robert's Only Shirt seems to have struck a deal with Dorian Gray's time keeper. And, I looked and I looked and I saw it.
I started listening to this at work!came home and had to watch it!! Thank you this is another big one!
I really enjoyed this video, you all are wonderful guys taking the time to cut the tree away from the graves! God bless!🙏
You guys are so nice. Thank you for cleaning up the headstones. They look like they have been neglected for quite sometime.
Let me say that you Robert and the other Robert should be given somekind of medals for the work you do. You crushed my heart saying you
had your chainsaw and you were going to do some good by removing that stuff off those little children, how compassionate.......you two are
doing work that no one else wants to do and with pride and concern you two find, clean off and document these people, AWESOME...!!!!

Thanks for sharing these videos 🙂☺️
Just an incredible video and cemetery, just amazing.so much history out there in the cemetery. Love cemeteries.

Very interesting!! Hope those graves do not disappear in time!!! 👍🏻😇😁👋🏻
that's the first time I have seen a metal tombstone, surprising how well it was preserved, this was a fascinating video, when the names are mentioned I think of what their lives must have been like.

You all are earning a special place in heaven for this work you are doing.
I am shocked those bulldozers did not roll right over those graves and markers, hopefully your video will find a group of people who will preserve this cemetery!
Love these videos. I have so much respect for you guys. Thank you for all that you do and share with us.
Enjoyed the video - all those graves there forgotten by most. It's sad. Thank you for sharing the names of those who have passed. It's hard to fathom how many long forgotten cemeteries there are out there, hard to imagine how that happens.
Thank you for doing the clean up of branches. So very kind. Love to watch because you are so respectfull
great work so intresting
Great episode. Enjoyed the longer that average stay. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Robert, it's so nice to see you.. Hi Robert see you on the farm.💕💕
About 10 miles from where we live, never knew about it. Thanks for the video.
This makes me so sad,. To see the neglected state this cemetery is in. I wish you could clear the undergrowth, It won't be long & all the ones you cleared. Will disappear again. At least you have said & remembered them for a fleeting moment. Brought a lump to my throat , you did the best you could. Bless you all so very much. 😭😭😭😭😭😭. Cheers & best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺🐨🦘👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
It would be wonderful to set up a fund to clean and fix these old cemeteries across the U.S.A.
I've seen 2 of those metal markers here in Michigan , they're are so beautifully made
Another amazing video. Sure love watching your cemetery videos. Love from Australia. Stay safe. Love you all. Xxxx

Hallo Robert und Freunde ich bin auch ein Kroate von Hamburg eine wunderschöne Geschichte. Danke für die Sache das du machst. 🙏
19:02 that white marble is nice looking stone..sure is holding up good through the years compared to others
Awesome video! The second doctor was born on my birthday, Nov. 16... pretty cool! We have some of those odd metal grave markers here in the west, but here too they are rare. I think it's pretty cool that some people had the forethought back then to create such a marker that would last so much longer than the stone ones. Keep up the good work!
I googled the name "Pattillo". There are a whole lot of them in Georgia, particularly the Atlanta area. I wonder if you found the Pattillo patriarch & matriarch graves?
Great job Robert and George!! 🤔
Beautiful place. Y'all must have filmed this in the fall. Beautiful fall colors foliage.
The Patillos had to be very interesting folks back in the day. May they all RIP

After so many years in which the cemetery is abandoned, it has some very beautiful and very interesting tombstones, thanks Roberto for another good video
Great video and very well filmed thankyou Robert other Robert and Cody
Well done guys great job such compassion 💗
Laying a stone horizontally exposes the engravings to the elements and erodes them. Pine straw has a lot of acid and eats away at the stone. Its a good thing that you're recording these stones before they erode away and disappear.
