Wow, so overgrown - this was painful but appreciated! He even bled for us. Thank you, Other Robert. 😊❣️ I bet the contract includes, "thick briars are no excuse, keep going." 😄
Robert O, you've found a wonderful cemetery. I'm so glad it was marked, as so many of them don't seem to be. The Glass child/ren certainly erected a marvelous marker for their parents. Thanks for taking us through this satisfying place. Hopefully a group will come around again to clean out the brambles and such. Be careful around thorns and holes in the ground. You and your lady are appreciated.
Great devotion and bush wacking! So sad to see family cemeteries fall into ruin..great work Robert..thanks for doing all you do and sharing it with us...👍🩵
What a great find...you are doing a fabulous job finding all these wonderful treasures..am so enjoying seeing your finds...keep up the great work the "other" Robert...good seeing you back again...you sure are having a terrible time with those thorns...lol
This sure was a lot of work for you Robert2, you should tell Robert1 he owes you 2 steak sammitches for all your efforts. I think that was a nice cemetery when it's all cleaned up and mowed. Thank you, Robert2
So sad it got in such bad shape. AS A YOUNG BOY & I WORKED WITH MY GRADFATHER EVERY SUMMER FOR FREE KEEPING OUR FAMILY CEMETERY UP & FREE OF SAW BIARS/WEEDS/SETTING HEADSTONES BACK UP/FILLING IN SUNKEN GRAVES/etc. Today it is run by a nonprofit co-op & donations are tax deductible. One of my cousins was in charge for yrs & most family members of ones buried there give $25 a yr, recently increased to & 35 a yr. Some oldest graves date back to dying in late 1840's with stacked up rock & bricks. My mother is buried there along with my grandfather, his 2 wives. his father & mother & many of his siblings along with many of my uncles & aunts. Slaves are buried in back; The Baptist church most all attended was used as a hospital during civil war. Old home place had many civil war relics unearth when plowing fields.
You did a great service for those buried there O Robert by sacrificing your skin to the brambles, to recognize these forgotten folks. A pair of snake chaps (Amazon) and you can plow thru the brambles and snakes safely. Someone with a good weed eater with a blade and someone behind them with a sturdy rake would sure help clear that place.
Wow, wonderful trip, but looks like your having to much fun with those Briars. Lol !! 😀 Robert Thank you for the Trip. If only Headstones could talk, wonder what kind of tales they could maby tell us.
Clearly, you need "Thorn Protection Insurance" LOL. Thanks, other Robert for sharing, seems a shame that the grave site is not maintained any longer kind of sad.
Wow so sad. You should get some volunteers and clean this cemetery up. These people deserve better. Thanks Robert for bringing us along with you and for documenting it. God bless you.
Don't fall in those thorns!! I like your determination to get where you want to go. Thank you for viewing this cemetery & taking us along. A great adventure today
Greetings "Other Robert". I enjoy listening and watching your adventures. I hope the thorns have not hurt you. Sometimes, it seems there are more abandoned cemeteries than people in your area! You need an army of volunteers!
Greatly enjoy your adventures Robert Sr.,, you need a tool belt with whisk broom, flashlight, and your clippers for your travels. 👍🏻 Perhaps your friendly neighborhood bear might be knocking over some stuff. Hard to tell, but that shrub looks like a type of boxwood maybe...? 😅 👏🏻👏🏻
again so sad that another cemetery that has gone to rot and left forgotten. these videos always make my heart sad, but I also stop and freeze on the names and write them down, cause there are many family members in both my and my husband's lines that were either born or died in parts of Georgia, and Williams is just one of the surnames that is in both our lines, the surname of Green, is in my line..My 3rd Great Grandfather, David Abraham Cantrell, is buried in a cemetery in Lafayette Georgia, Walker County, but Find a Grave has no picture of a headstone and wondering if he had one. Appreicate you Robert for coming here and doing your best to document whom is laid to rest here.
Thank you the other Robert for wading through the briars to bring us this forgotten cemetery. It's such a shame someone hasn't cleaned it up.😢 I can just imagine that mother weeping over the burial of her baby twins.
Can you imagine if the other Robert found one of your relatives while exploring the old cemeteries? This is so interesting as it is, but what a wonderful service it would provide to someone who is searching for long lost family members.
Maybe both Roberts could organise a hugh clean up in that cemetary. Bring tools trucks to haul off brush and trees. Bring chain saws. get about 20 or 30 volumteers and it would take about a day.
Great job. I am working on history of my family and part of them were in GA. I will have to look at your other videos as I am looking for Bellamy, Longhurst and a couple of others. Thanks for doing this.
Well robert you won against them there thorns you did the best you could 👏 it would be great if some volunteers to clean it up the cemertery all the best and keep safe Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧
I feel when I see forgotten cemeteries. I was stationed at ft Stewart GA. For a few years and we would do yearly clean ups in the woods on base. They took care of all the cemeteries we came up on. Kept the area clear. Did the same at Ft Campbell KY.
Poor OR trying so hard,fighting those briars is painful...I can remember years ago getting caught in a briar patch...never want that experience again.🤕😬 Thank you OR,we appreciate you!!
That's all that remains of the community of Magnolia Springs. That small community along with Plains of Dura was relocated to where Plains is now when the railroad depot was built in 1886. Both the Kidd and Harper families still live in the area to this day.
At 16:23, that gravestone you were trying to put the finial back onto- we have those up here. And you were trying to put it on upside down.🙂At 18:07, the brick wall around that plot is really cool! Years and years ago there used to be advertisements for a mower called the DR Field and Brush Mower. It's basically a walk-behind brush hog. I remember seeing the guy mowing over stuff worse than that with it, in the commercials. That machine would be perfect in all the overgrown cemeteries you all encounter. I just checked and they still make them. At 23:12 I've seen gravestones with the open gates, but not as elaborate as that one. Another idea is to suggest cleanup of cemeteries like that to the Boy Scouts. They could be Eagle Scout projects. At 24:11 that looks like Reid to me. Well that's two things we don't have up here: fire ants and armadillos.
I especially love when a veteran grave is found like the one from the War of 1812! All vets, regardless of side for which they fought (Civil War) must be remembered and honored! No matter how you look at it, they gave up their lives for their country and for what they believed in. Along with that, all lost slave cemetaries must also be recorded in the record the books as best as possible. While some may not like this but with today’s dna science, these folks could be dug up so dna can be run and then with luck their family today can be notified to decide whether to move the remains or leave them in their current resting place. If thats the choice, at least of marker can be placed to help others locate their ancestors this way as very few slave records were kept unfortunately.
I am so Sorry for all the briars thar got you, been there, gotten tangled up in those things and ripped to pieces; I Feel your Pain, Robert!!! Remember, ALWAYS do what grandpa said!!!
Dad gum it Other Robert!! Grandpa always says "take your tools to your job" :) I wish you had some water with you too. Be safe, sorry for the briars (I KNOW they hurt) but I sure appreciate you sharing this with us and documenting this history. Sure wish someone would come care for that place. God Speed Sir.
I enjoy all your adventurous contributions! I also like that you call all of us 'kids', because that is a reference I occasionally use with my siblings, even tho we're all >50 years old! (Me being the oldest!)
I noticed right after you picked up the magnolia leaf that you walked over some iris coming back up. Might have been planted on someone's grave. Good luck out there!
On this one, the other Robert uncovers many forgotten graves…

Wow, so overgrown - this was painful but appreciated! He even bled for us. Thank you, Other Robert. 😊❣️ I bet the contract includes, "thick briars are no excuse, keep going." 😄

I think that was a nice cemetery when it's all cleaned up and mowed. Thank you, Robert2
The Other Robert, didn't grandpa tell you to always take your tools with you?

Thank you Robert for speaking the names of the dead . . . forgotten no more.
Thank you for braving these conditions

Thank you for caring
Thank you for all you do "Other Robert " ! We appreciate how you spend your time exploring these old forgotten grave yards. Stay safe. 🌺 🐾🇨🇱
Other Robert. I have a suggestion, how about a bag you keep in your car with all the tools you need in it. You are doing a great job
That's determination! Lol...
Really with those briars, ouch!
Thanks for sharing! Here's something to remember when stomping through those vines, "🎶 I am stuck on Band-Aid brand, cause Bandaid's stuck on me!"🎶
Robert GOD AND ALL HIS ANGELS ARE SMILING DOWN ON YOU TODAY.
AS NOT TO FORGET HIS CHILDREN AS WE ALL ARE .
THank you for an excellent vlog
You are such a trooper, Robert, fighting those dreaded briar thorns!
Loved this one so much. Your wit and wisdom is appreciated thanks green shirt Robert

Thanks Robert #2, hope you heal up quickly from this one. ❤
Great job. Sure wish someone would clean up the place. You gave it your all. Thanks.

People wouldn't want to pay taxes for it.
Thanks for clearing up the forgotten cemeteries so sad
Thank you for taking one for the team. I feel like you and camera lady will need a bunch of Neosporin and those bandaids.
again so sad that another cemetery that has gone to rot and left forgotten. these videos always make my heart sad, but I also stop and freeze on the names and write them down, cause there are many family members in both my and my husband's lines that were either born or died in parts of Georgia, and Williams is just one of the surnames that is in both our lines, the surname of Green, is in my line..My 3rd Great Grandfather, David Abraham Cantrell, is buried in a cemetery in Lafayette Georgia, Walker County, but Find a Grave has no picture of a headstone and wondering if he had one.

Thank you the other Robert for wading through the briars to bring us this forgotten cemetery. It's such a shame someone hasn't cleaned it up.😢
I can just imagine that mother weeping over the burial of her baby twins.

Thank you so much for enduring the briars and holes bless you and the other Robert y'all need a weed eater for protection
Great job. I am working on history of my family and part of them were in GA. I will have to look at your other videos as I am looking for Bellamy, Longhurst and a couple of others. Thanks for doing this.
Hello, and it's so sad that the places are so neglected. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Well robert you won against them there thorns you did the best you could 👏 it would be great if some volunteers to clean it up the cemertery all the best and keep safe Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧
Awesome
I feel when I see forgotten cemeteries. I was stationed at ft Stewart GA. For a few years and we would do yearly clean ups in the woods on base. They took care of all the cemeteries we came up on. Kept the area clear. Did the same at Ft Campbell KY.
But it's still fun to watch!
So happy the other Robert is doing great work on the cemeteries! Grandpa said you're in a world of hurt! Thank you 😊
Poor OR trying so hard,fighting those briars is painful...I can remember years ago getting caught in a briar patch...never want that experience again.🤕😬 Thank you OR,we appreciate you!!
Thanks for taking one for the team, Other Robert! It hurt just LOOKING at those briars! Thanks for the video!
Thanks Robert #2 💛 Ouch! Careful out there wandering🪦🙀
Thank you Robert for getting torn up in those briars to honor the memories of the long forgotten loved ones in this cemetery.❤️🇨🇦
The other Robert is a cool person and very knowledgeable. If I could be a young boy again, I would want the other Robert to be my grandpa.
Awesome guys
Well, Other Robert, it may have been a lot of thorns but they hold you back! Thanks for the tour.😊❤
That's all that remains of the community of Magnolia Springs. That small community along with Plains of Dura was relocated to where Plains is now when the railroad depot was built in 1886. Both the Kidd and Harper families still live in the area to this day.
A machete would be a good and easy to carry tool for you guys to carry. Maybe a good hand trowel also to dig/clear lower engravings.
Thank you O.R. for risking life and limb to show us this almost forgotten cemetery.
Niiiiice other Robert sorry for the briers
Snakes! Yikes...Spiders! Yikes

We love you Robert good to see you again as always thankyou we so enjoy you doing these podcast take care god bless
The other Robert owes you a lunch. For getting so wounded… Thank you, for going through that for us. 💙
Ouch! Throughly enjoyed exploring this cemetery with you. Be safe "Other Robert". Don't let those thorns get you too much! 👍
Appreciate the hard work it took to show this cemetery.
I enjoy all your adventurous contributions! I also like that you call all of us 'kids', because that is a reference I occasionally use with my siblings, even tho we're all >50 years old! (Me being the oldest!)
Thank you for sacrificing your skin for us! Great job!
Thanks for braving the briars to look at the graves, Robert. That was an overgrown cemetery, made worse by stickers and thorns!
I noticed right after you picked up the magnolia leaf that you walked over some iris coming back up. Might have been planted on someone's grave. Good luck out there!
