- I recently visited Woodland Cemetery in Dayton Ohio, where I was able to visit 15 famous graves. Some of the famous gravesites that I visited included the Wright Brothers, Erma Bombeck, Paul Laurence Dunbar and more. Thank you for watching the Whittdocs channel, and please subscribe for more!
I live in the suburbs of Dayton and people here always say “You can’t go a day without Dayton.” They say at least one thing you use every day in your life was invented in Dayton.
I agree. I couldn’t believe when I found out everything that had its origins in Dayton. Thanks for watching!
I was born in Dayton and raised in Kettering. This was one of my favorite places to visit. I spent some beautiful summer days wandering around and reading the markers, admiring the beautifully carved angels, the life size statues and feeding the ducks in the pond. Thanks for this reminder of days gone by.
I’m glad this video brought some good memories back. Thanks for watching.
I too was born in Dayton and lived in Kettering
Thank you for featuring Paul Lawrence Dunbar!... I don't live far from his home and walking down his cobblestone street near his former home is the closest feeling to the 1800.s
He has a fascinating story. Thank so much for watching. I appreciate that.
The 80s, 90s Woodland had quite the night life. The stories one could tell
I wish that I could hear them. I would love to make a return visit.
I've never been to Ohio and really enjoyed this one a lot. Who knew there were so many notable people buried in this one cemetery. Another excellent tribute, Whitt!
You’re the best Steve. Thank you.
Look up lake view cemetery in Cleveland. A lot of famous people there - including the Angel of death haserot. Freaks people out 👀
@@andreadeamon6419 yes, and it's such a beautiful cemetery, too.I have family buried there.
@@susanhamercheck2379 grew up on the West side but always running around. I've only been in there a couple times. Hoping to stop in one last time before we move out of state
Hello visiting gravesites with Steve
DAYTON IS THE GEM CITY. THANK YOU FOR SHARING OUR CULTURE SIR💃🤗👑💖💯 #DAYTONSTRONG💪💖💯
Beautiful place. It was my pleasure to visit. :)
🤗💖💯
I live in the suburbs of Dayton. It is a city full of history from the Wright family, to cash registers, to famous writers, electric engines and our wonderful Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Woodland Cemetery is beautiful!
my hometown! thanks for the lovely stroll through the cemetary. I'm a very happy subscriber!
Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate it. I really enjoyed visiting Dayton.
I loved living in Dayton and seeing it again soothes my soul. Thanks Whittdocs!
Hi, Homie! I moved years ago but I will always love Dayton.
I appreciate that your videos focus on the graves and the people, and not yourself in views. The stories are all about their lives. :)
Thanks for those kind words!
I'm from the Dayton area and have roamed Woodland Cemetery for years. With beautiful huge trees of many kinds, lush landscaping and excellent maintenance, is quiet and peaceful, too, it is still my favorite cemetery and I've been to countless.
Thank you for making this video!
Cheers!
I really enjoyed my visit here. Thanks so much for that comment. :)
Thank you sharing! I grew up in Centerville and Kettering , but have never visited this cemetery. Now living in Michigan , I appreciate all the rich heritage of Dayton.
Hi 🙋🏻♀️ Whitt oh the statue and story of Little Johnny Moorhouse and his faithful precious dog 🐕 really touched my heart ❤ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 Thank you so much. Love your Channel.
Thank you so very much for this comment. Glad you’re enjoying the channel.
I am new subscriber, I always thought I was little strange for liking cemeteries, believe it or not I think they are peaceful. I see I am not to alone, thank you for taking me along, I will never get to go to some of these places.
I am so glad you’re enjoying. I honestly didn’t realize there was a community for cemetery visits. But, there definitely is. I like the history that goes along with visiting cemeteries. Thanks for watching. It means a lot to me.
You not alone. Their are lot of us! I love the history, and beauty of cemeteries. Its like your own personal tour!
Love your channel! You are so respectful. I also like that you go out of your way to answer comments and acknowledge your viewers.
I really appreciate that. And I appreciate you watching.
As a retired Air Force civilian, I was glad to learn how Wright-Patterson got it's name. I'm still hoping to visit the Air Museum.
If you ever get a chance to visit, you should. It’s awesome.
I love going to cemeteries but can't get my husband to understand why. If I see an older one while traveling I always walk through it alone looking at the old forgotten graves. Sometimes I write down names and look them up. It's so much history that can be found in cemeteries and older people. Thank you for sharing your videos.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching.
Always interesting and informative historical content on your channel. Respectfully and professionally done.
What an interesting and beautiful cemetery. So much history too. Love to hear about their lives and accomplishments. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Thank you so much for the kind comment.
I never heard of some of these people, which made this a valuable learning experience. Thank you so much!
I’m glad you enjoyed it. I learn a lot doing this too. Thanks so much for watching.
I always enjoy learning about people who are creative and invent something new to make our lives better. Thanks for showing us!
Thanks for watching. I’m honored.
We had family that lived in Dayton and had the wonderful experience of visiting this cemetery. It is a beautiful and peaceful place. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for taking me along on your trips, I wouldn't be able to visit these places without you.
Well it’s my pleasure. I love that comment. You’re very welcome. :)
A very nice and very well kept cemetery, this is how to respect those that has left us. Just lovely
Thank you so much for watching.
@@Whittdocs you gave a very nice and complete delivery of your visits, I do what you do as a hobby and I have run into some very old and abandoned cemeteries, I hate to find those that are overgrown and forgotten, makes me very upset.
I know how you feel. I’ve ran across some abandoned ones before and I hate it when I do. I’ve enjoyed going to cemeteries for a very long time, and just started doing videos a few years ago. Thanks once again
Beautiful cemetery! Interesting journey...

I am a fan of story telling, and of history! You do an amazing job of these people that once had life, and now are stories and history! And not forgotten! Great job!
Thank you so much. I greatly appreciate that.

I greatly appreciate it. I’m glad you enjoy it. That’s great!

Thank you for coming to Dayton!! I’m from a town about 10 miles to the East named Xenia(Zenya). This cemetery has been a beautiful resting place for many extremely talented ppl, who’ve made our world a much better place!! Thank you again!’ 👍🏼💐
I loved visiting here. I would really like to do a return visit and film some more.

Awesome! I’m glad you enjoy. Means a lot to hear that. Thanks so much.
New subscriber, love your channel! Great work.
That is awesome. Thank you so much for coming along with me.
Great videos! I love "famous" grave videos. I just discovered your channel recently. I love it. I Haven't seen all of your videos yet, but if you haven't yet, you should check out Lakeview Cemetery here in Cleveland, Ohio. There are several notables there. Some people buried or entombed there are President James Garfiled, John D. Rockefeller, Elliot Ness...just to name a few.
Great videos! Thanks for doing this! 😎
I really appreciate your comment. I’ve had my eye on Lakeview for a while now and I’m looking forward to getting there. It’s about 6 hours from me. I’m glad that you’re enjoying the videos. Welcome aboard!
thanks for the history.
Hi there 🙋 just found your channel really enjoyed learning about the people resting here I am now a subscriber.. thank you 🙏👍🇬🇧
Hello! Thank you so much for watching. I’m so glad to have you.
I lived in Dayton for ten years. How did I not know about this cemetery? Thank you for sharing
You’re very welcome. Thanks so much for watching.
I thoroughly loved this video! Though I have lived in Tennessee since 1970, I was born in Dayton, Ohio. I have many memories of my childhood in Dayton. Watching Reds baseball with my grandpa, Santa at Rike's Department Store, Phil Donahue and the Dayton Daily News.I also remember listening to WHIO and going to the Blue Note Record Store. This brought back many memories. I haven't been to Dayton since my grandpa died in 1978. He and my grandma were my all, so I haven't had a reason to go back.
Those are great memories. Thank you so much for sharing and for watching.
The journal Herold was the better news paper back then! It closed out in 81 or 82 I believe, my mom worked there.
@@theirishhammer9451 my grandparents took the Dayton Daily News. Weird how I remember little things like that. The Big Red Machine, Lawrence Welk, the early days of Her Haw. Now I can count a member of Hee Haw as a close and special friend
Who could forget Rikes or Don Wayne doing the news
Just stumbled upon your videos they are great
Thank you so much!! Welcome aboard. Glad to have you.
Nice to see the Johnny Morehouse monument was fixed, saw something a while back about the head of the dog was cut off. Another great video, originally from Ohio, nice to see stuff from back home.
I’m glad I could show you a little bit of home. I wasn’t aware of Johnny’s monument being broken. Whoever fixed it did a good job.
It actually wasn't broken off, that was just a rumor. The head fell off due to weather and people constantly touching it. Wear and tear!
great piece of history
Thanks so much for watching, I greatly appreciate it!
Your voice is melodic ... Really enjoy your videos...
I really appreciate that. Thank you so much.
Ok I'm hooked just the history you go way back
I love history. I guess I always have really.
Loving it cause we keep it real our comments make some you tubers cry grow some you tube balls or go home but I'm liking your channel we gonna comment as we sitting here sometimes working at a nursing home on our break we helping the sick and disabled so hell yeah we gonna say what we say all crybabies exit you tube lol
I love the history that you tell to give us a chance to see it all love all the videos
Awesome. Thank you so much. Glad you like them.
Very nice, thank you for the video. It is a very beautiful cemetery with so much history. I could have added to what you presented....lol...as far as facts....just teasing. Currently the original main gate and gatehouses of which you feature towards the end are being redone and preserved. On Woodland's website they have different links one can read for it's rich history, those who are famous and rest there, etc; etc;. Thy also present several walking tours each year.
love your programes very enjuyable
Thank you so much. I’m glad that you enjoy. I appreciate that.
Very interesting vlog my friend we can learn alot from the dead and past.. take care of yourself buddy
Thanks for watching David. This was an interesting trip to make and I hope to make a return visit.
This is my hometown of Dayton, Ohio. :) Welcome! Agnes Moorehead who played Endora on Bewitched is in a cemetary near where I live! Woodland is where a few of my family members are buried.
Nice! It was a fun visit and I’d like to go back. I actually visited Agnes Moorhead’s grave and have a video posted. Check it out. I visited Paul Lynde also, who played uncle Arthur.
@@Whittdocs I will check it out. And Thanks!! I love Paul Lynde too!
I have so many ancestors there. The Patterson’s. The Browns. It’s such a beautiful place to see and holds my heart. I go as often as I can.
That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate you watching. I definitely want to go back.
I really enjoy youre videos
That really means a lot to me. Thank you.
Most of my family is buried here. I go quite often to enjoy the pure peacefulness of this cemetery. So many around here to explore.
That was a very neat visit for me. I’d love to go back.
Thank You for the video I liked the one about the dog watching over the the grave means a lot
Just subscribed, enjoy your videos.
Thanks Dennis. I appreciate you subscribing. Welcome aboard!
Love the stained glass window in the mausoleum. Don't catch a cold when filming in the rain x
The stained glass was very pretty. And thanks so much for watching. :)
I been going in and out of that cemetery , for years. We used to play in there as kids. I still , to.this day , go every year to put down flowers. It's very old and it's so big , you would get lost if you dont know your way around. That was a really good video , thank you . There is a small field trip , the people who work there , will take you to all them cool places of history.
Nice. It is a very neat stop. I hope to make a return visit someday. Thank you so much for the comment.
@@Whittdocs Your so welcome .
@@Whittdocs If you go after the leaves fall off . Go to the very top of the place , there is a gazebo up there. You can get a nice big view of Dayton . Very pretty..
My husband worked there and I grew up riding my bike there and feeding their ducks wendy's fries
Nice. Thanks for sharing that. I want to go back. I feel like there are more stories that I would like to tell from there. Thanks for watching!
My great grandparents are buried close to the Wright brothers (whom I am related to as well) There is a folklore that the spirit of Johnny and his dog walks the graveyard. My uncle worked at NCR for years. Woodland on the old side is quite awesome!
Very nice video
Very very interesting!
Thank you so much.
You missed the queen of the Gypsies. Her story is pretty awesome.
I know. Unfortunately, I ran out of time. But I def want to go back.
Woodland is certainly beautiful and very big. I wish you'd gotten some footage of the huge hills and valleys and the crypts that are built into the hillsides. I'm not really complaining. Lol! I just grew up here and spent a lot of time in the cemetery as a teenager. It's difficult to show how large the place is unless you have a view from the air. I'm glad to find this on here because it is a beautiful place to visit and explore.
Thank you so much. I would love to make a return visit, so I’ll keep that in mind.
Spent many days wandering around Woodland.
Please do a tour of SPRING GROVE CEMETERY in Cincinnati, Ohio. It’s HUGE, beautifully landscaped and very old with lots and lots of famous,local people.
I’ve actually good a few videos from there on my channel. I’d love to go back.
Thank you 😊❤🇺🇸
You’re so welcome. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
Really is Historical, The graveyards now? are so generic..
You do such a wonderful job narrating .... really enjoying the historical history
Thanks keep the good work up !
You’re so kind. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. I have more videos coming. And I agree, you don’t see the uniqueness anymore.
I was born in Dayton and raised in Huber Heights. You missed a couple of cool graves the gypsy queen and Agnes Moorhead are also at Woodland. And the observation deck is amazing.
Great video!
Thank you so much!
I really enjoyed this video.
I appreciate that. Thank you so much!
Very interesting place
I agree. Really enjoyed my visit
Visited this grave yard last year very beautiful
Yeah, very beautiful place.
I wasn't listening, but when the name Erma Bombeck came up, I was completely thrilled. I LOVE her books! :-)
I’m glad you enjoyed that. She was indeed a very talented writer. Thanks so much for watching.
Erma lived in Dayton (Centerville) as did Phil Donahue (where his show originated). Phil helped give Erma her start by featuring her on his show.
Thank you so much for the tour of these historic cemeteries along with famous graves. Actually you might be the only person to visit the Wright brothers and I am grateful to you. The man who died of tuberculosis at 36 years old is sad especially when a 1 month free treatment and tests can be obtained via Public Health now.
Yeah, so true. Thanks so much for watching. Greatly appreciate it.
The only person to visit the Wright Brothers? If you go there you can see all the coins left behind by people visiting. It's one of the most visited graves in Woodland Cemetery.
You are such a nice man!
Well thank you :)
Catch ing up👍👍👍👍
I appreciate you watching.
Thank you
You’re very welcome. Thanks for watching!
Dank je wel from Holland ❤️
