    That was a huge place to document. It is not surprising you ran out of time. You did a good job
    When you were in the older part that was more overgrown & unkempt I wondered how many unmarked graves there might be.

    I’ve never heard that saying before Leo. “It’s not the dates that matter. It’s the dash in between “ Very profound. Thanks for sharing this. I will not forget these words ❤

    In this video I saw my birthday on a stone and I saw my last name on a stone but the thought that resonated in my mind was when you pointed out that gentleman's "spot" next to his wife. To look at just a spot on the ground and know that someday that is your spot reminds you of how human you really are! Another good video guys and a part 2 is always welcome

    What a beautiful part of WV! The view is incredible. I am so glad that you located this old cemetery. I wonder if it is a private or public cemetery? There are some really old graves in Rawl Cemetery. Seeing children's graves always make me sad. Thank you for documenting the people buried here.

    WOW, Leo and Heather, that was awesome. I never knew it till the 1950 census came out but my parents and my oldest brother lived in Rawl. The census didn't even have a house number, it just said Rawl camp, Happy hill, second house on hill and my dad as a coal miner. I was down there a year ago and drove back in there to see if anything was left but there wasn't much to see. I can only imagine what it looked like in 1950. Thanks for the video, I always enjoy seeing things from West Virgina. Oh, and I was born in the Williamson Memorial Hospital and my parents moved to Michigan in 1955, I was only one year old.

    Hello Leo I just came across ur channel and I subscribed! My father grew up in Red Jacket. Have you done any filming of cemeteries in that area. He was adopted by Alvin stanley. His father I think was James Vaughn. Dad’s name was Ples. Thank you for what you do it’s so interesting and beautiful country.
