    A tour would be interesting to watch. I am a full blooded American and I didn't even know that Uncle Sam was a real person. Seems like they should have taught us that in school! Interesting old historic grave yard, that was fun to see. Thanks for sharing

    Well it shows you are never too old to learn, I am 70, and my husband is 75 but we didn’t know that Uncle Sam was depicted from a real person 🇬🇧😲😲. Would love to see the rest of the cemetery. Thank you ❤❤

      I guess there was a man named Samuel Wilson who had a meat packing plant during the war and he fed a lot of military men. He was referred to by his friends as Uncle Sam. Hence the name.

    That is the prettiest cemetery I've ever seen. Looks fascinating and those buildings are beautiful. Appreciate the tour of the place after a very simple unclogging this time. It's been a long day for me and the sound of the running water almost had me drowsing! I'm another of your overseas subscribers so I wasn't aware that Uncle Sam was actually a real person. Thanks for an interesting video, the second camera makes a big difference.

    Here in my hometown in The Netherlands we also have a cemetery with very old graves. If I remember correctly the graves there are max 100 or 150 years old. The people buried were owners of textile factories and their families. My hometown used to be a famous textile town. Nowadays, we have a baseball club called Tex Town Tigers.

    • @tracybowling1156
      @tracybowling1156 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Apparently, Uncle Sam owned a meat packing plant. He supplied meat to soldiers. He stamped the barrels US-meaning property of the United States. But when someone asked a worker what the US stood for, he replied Uncle Sam. So that's how the United States got its sobriquet.

    ok so I don't feel so bad now after reading comments, I didn't know Uncle Sam was a real person either. lol I'd love to see a tour of this cemetery, just the drive through was awesome, huge monuments. I love old cemeteries. Loved the waterfall at the outflow of the spillway.

      Susan it rather easy to find , it's right off route 40 ( Oakwood Ave ) . If I remember correctly there is a map on the property showing you where Uncle Sam's grave is and you will see this little body of water . There is lots to see this Cemetery . If you hit there in the spring you'll see all the daffodils .

    Will all the debris you clear eventually return to the water after one good rain? Do you move all the branches you remove to much higher ground? Good work either way.
