So many children didn't make it all my grandparents had lost a brother or sister growing up talked about losing his sister when she was one year old and he could see her little hand prints on the glass of there front window and his mother couldn't bring her self to wipe them off just heartbreaking thank you Roberts for taking us along
The last name Long and Fannin keeps appearing. Coincidentally in Fannin County GA lives family with the last name - Long. They live here for several generations already and they used own huge amounts of land.
Seems a lot of young children were buried in this cemetery. It's so sad to see gravestones removed and smashed. Some people have no respect. Love from the UK. Love your channel xx
We just did a lot of work in the old part of our cemetery and we had foot-stones with what appeared to be no headstone. We also had a headstone base with no headstone. We found that some of the thin headstones had fallen off their base and were actually there under the ground. After years of being on the ground, weather, fallen leaves, and moss growing just covered them up. We dug them up, cleaned them and replaced them on their base. Many of those type of stones were anchored to the base with iron rods which over time rusted and the stone fell over. We replaced the rods with stainless steel rods and set them back on their base. The older cemeteries go east to west.
You guys are keeping these folks' memories alive! How cool it is to think that someone that died nearly 200 years ago is being remembered and their name is being said on the internet in 2022! Super cool to think about! Its nice for all of us to know that someday someone may remember us this way too.
My son just flew out of Savannah yesterday. He was down visiting someone close by. He said the hospitality down there was amazing, so many kind people there, and he fell in love with the beauty there. He plans on going back someday to vacation. He brought us home a haunted Savannah fridge magnet. It was so cool! I didn't know Savannah was the most haunted city in the country, wow! Love all of your videos Robert and Robert. What an old cemetery.
It would be so nice to have these stones cleaned and placed back together. This kind of beautiful history should be preserved for people to view and reflect and, perhaps, learn something about those who came before us.
Thanks Robert & Robert! I love old graveyards! I like to wonder what the people looked like, how they dressed, how they lived, etc. History is fascinating!
I'm about halfway through this video, there's 255 comments posted, and maybe people have already suggested this. But get some parchment paper and a square of black wax from an art store. Place the paper over the ingraving and rub the wax over it. Hold it still or tape it so it stays steady. But you'll be able to see letters you'd never get with the naked eye. Good luck! Love your show!
We were pretty surprised to see how old some of these graves were!
Always sad seeing childrens graves. A reminder of how tough life was before modern medicine.
Devlopers who respect and preserve cemeteries and historic sites deserve our praise and the patronage of their businesses.

Glad to see that at least some of these old cemeteries are being respected and taken care of.
How fantastic that for once you've found one saved from demolition!!
Robert and Other Robert, always glad to see you together. Thanks for taking us along. Be blessed and be careful.
Nice to see a cemetery preserved instead of destroyed. Thank you Gentlemen
