Hi Ron, I had no idea that torpedo/land mines were used in graves, I had never heard of it till this video. It does make a lot of sense to use them though as body snatching was rife back then. Another awesome historical and very interesting video and I loved the drone work and music. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖
All the FOTF gang....y'all have a great evening walk with Ron tonight. Gotta work this evening so I'll miss the live 😓. Have a great week....stay safe all 💗🕊️
Your channel has it all…cemetery walks, the history and stories about the people, and your drone footage. Love it! Oh, and the music you choose for the drone footage is perfect
I looked into Wm Maxfield and found out his daughter Myrtilla Maxfield married Jacob Gann. They are buried in this cemetery as well. Town probably named after that family. I love history and genealogy ❤️❤️
Ron, I think that you have it backwards. The wife died after the story was published in January of 1881. So the torpedo incident took place before the wife had passed.
Beautiful houses, don’t have anything like that here, music is beautiful. Thanks for another adventure x 👍🏴🏴🏴🏴👍🏴🏴🏴🏴👍
What I love about old houses is that the bedrooms were usually quite large with an area by the window to sit, etc. Also, they'd almost certainly have real dining rooms, foyers, etc. My Dad's family was quite large. He was the eldest (born 1918) of nine children. I miss him so much.
I enjoyed very lovely country looking area with a beautiful cemetery full of older and newer graves. I am glad grave was found and I can't blame them wanting to keep their bodies safe even in death. Rest in Peace William and Wife. Lovely view of river and lovely homes. Have a great week Sir.
Very interesting video. Nice looking headstones on these older graves. Your drone video is really great over the river. This does make you wonder how many more graves may have this torpedo bomb rigged. Have a safe trip back.
I love your repeated "Maxfield" corrections for each time you said "Maxwell" -- your sense of humor is terrific. Again, a great video -- so interesting!
You literally were 20 minutes east of me. I have family on my maternal side buried in Brinckhaven. My eyes were peeled to look at the names🎯from an Ohioan. What a fabulous story.
That was an incredible experience, thank you for taking us with you! Whenever you say”guys”, I feel like you are talking to me. And including me in your group!
This gives "don't blow your chance" a whole new meaning. Glad the grave robber was stopped. He earned the reward received. Getting the news a loved ones grave had blown up would be strange. I can't even imagine. Not sure a cemetery with land mines was such a great idea. I know stealing from the dead and/or stealing the dead never could I have done it. I respect the dead because believe they are now back in God's hands.
This was an interesting one! I never heard of a coffin torpedo until now and, like you said, thought it was something that propelled from the coffin itself. Detonation definitely makes more sense. As always, I enjoyed this video and learned lots of new information about my home state. Thanks again, friend! 🙂
Love the video! Here in southern Ohio our countryside is very similar to the one in this video. Big hills. My dad's family is buried out in the boonies on a very steep hill. So steep that when they buried my grandfather in 1965 they had to bury him across another hill because when they were digging his grave beside my grandmother, they found out that her coffin had slid downhill from where she was buried. She died around 1929 .It's in a very creepy,dark and hilly cemetary with mostly very old graves. Hardly anyone has been buried there in many years.
Thanks for taking that drive. Neat cemetery and interesting story. Well my shattered ankle has healed sufficiently that I can walk with a cane. Your videos have entertained me during the winter and spring Thanks so much and continued success 🌷
I don’t usually subscribe to channels unless they have good content and done well. I came across your channel months ago and loved what you were doing and your editing. As each video was put up better and better the content was. I actually paused this video at the 8:21 mark to write this comment. This video confirms why I subscribed. Not only is it done very well but it pulled at my heartstrings. I am proud to be part of the gang! Keep up the good work….This channel is so undersubbed there needs to be a million followers.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THE AWESOME JOURNEY!!! GOD BLESS YOU, DEAR SOUL FOR YOUR DEDICATION & TENACITY FOR BRINGING THE TRUTH OF OUR HISTORY.. 😁😁👍👍❤❤❤
Thanks for taking us all along on your walks of reverence. It is sweet how you straightened the pinwheel, so the wind would once again give it life (movement). Wishing you Safe travels.
Another great story. So glad that you found the grave after driving all that way. I agree with you that the husband probably put them there to protect his wife more than they were put there for the William since she died just before him. ❤️🥰
Very enjoyable Ron. Did u get a plate of food? Saved u some! I think we all enjoyed this Video Under the Stars! I do wonder tho, the headstone with the toy helicopter on it, do u think the man was a pilot, possibly?
Beautiful singing and music as you panned along that river-creek! can you tell me what that music is? Thank you, Ron! Love all your very interesting and respectfully done videos.
William Maxfield was a farmer. I found the family on the 1850, 1870 & 1880 census reports. On the 1850 census, 7 kids were listed. I also found his Civil War draft registration. He was 24 and not married yet. I also found the account papers from his will, but not the will itself. The headstone cost 53.76.
I have a couple of questions …1, would the torpedo damage William’s coffin ⚰️ or his body? And 2, if William died in Dec. 1880 and his wife died in July 1881 doesn’t that mean that William died 7 months Before his wife? Which grave were they robbing? I love your work. Thank you and God bless you Ron. 🙏🕊
Hi back after working a long weekend at the hospital...i am exhausted so this will be relaxing thank you, ..great job Ron...the drone is beautiful with the music...the relaxing river..wow...flying like a bird
Thank you so much, Ron and his helpers, for your dedication to solving these intriguing mysteries for us! And thank you, Ron, for the beautiful (as always) flyover! It was breathtaking!
Love the channel 👍. Hey there is a couple of graveyards you might be interested in, in paw paw michigan, right off I94 there is a cemetery called prospect hill. Really old. Used to be an Indian look out hill. Really old lots of stones and a lone grave at the very top thats really cool Issac Willard. And in Kalamazoo michigan right off of westnedge Avenue is a cemetery with the famous witches ball. I big concrete ball for a headstone. Take care and safe travels
The drone flying over the river was beautiful , and I just love the music ! May I ask who sings it ?
As always , superb job Ron !

you are awesome Diane
Diane Findley that’s what I read 2 when I looked up WM Maxfield and when I was watching I counted 9 times Ron said Maxwell and not Maxfield
Ron, I think that you have it backwards. The wife died after the story was published in January of 1881. So the torpedo incident took place before the wife had passed.
I blame it on the heat and humidity. It can getcha all kinds of messed up...at least here in Georgia 😓
Beautiful houses, don’t have anything like that here, music is beautiful. Thanks for another adventure x 👍🏴🏴🏴🏴👍🏴🏴🏴🏴👍
"OK gang" is so old timey. I love it. So inclusive. You're still one f my favorite narrators. You honor the dead with dignity.
Those houses were stunning! You can tell they probably had a lot if rooms like they did back in the day because whole families all lived together.
Also when I was young there were very big families The smallest was 5 kids and then up. When I was in grade one ……..
What I love about old houses is that the bedrooms were usually quite large with an area by the window to sit, etc. Also, they'd almost certainly have real dining rooms, foyers, etc. My Dad's family was quite large. He was the eldest (born 1918) of nine children. I miss him so much.
Thank you for your travels and sharing all these stories!
Thank you to The talented Ron for another superb episode! Love ❤️ everything about this! :)

Gosh, the houses and town are gorgeous.
Those houses are lovely.
Another Historic Story, love it
Beautiful music! I love when you add the music and drones..and then your story told so well..💜💜
Beautiful little cemetery, interesting story! Thanks once again!
Very interesting video. Nice looking headstones on these older graves. Your drone video is really great over the river. This does make you wonder how many more graves may have this torpedo bomb rigged. Have a safe trip back.
That’s the first I’ve ever heard of torpedo bombs. Great justice on the grave robbers. Is that considered vigilantism ?
I love your repeated "Maxfield" corrections for each time you said "Maxwell" -- your sense of humor is terrific. Again, a great video -- so interesting!
Very interesting to hear about the torpedoes. Never heard of such a thing.
Me either vary inresting hopefully they done away with it over time meaing hopefully there isnt any in ground of a old grave
He was buried first and the torpedo went off before she was buried.
Lovely video..lovely scenery.
📽📽📽👍👍👍
Beautiful cemetery,! THANK for the awesome video👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I do appreciate it.😊
You literally were 20 minutes east of me. I have family on my maternal side buried in Brinckhaven. My eyes were peeled to look at the names🎯from an Ohioan. What a fabulous story.

Whenever you say”guys”, I feel like you are talking to me. And including me in your group!
What a great video. Love the drone footage. The homes were so beautiful and the cemetery was beautifully kept.
I feel like I'm in a movie,..love the flight.
The drone flying over that river was Great again Ron with beautiful music.And the story was historic.Thanks for telling.
Beautiful drone work with Little Jimmy and the song was powerful.
This was fascinating, I never knew about the explosives, wow!
This is a beautiful cemetery.
Beautiful video and such a quaint cemetery. Thank you sir.
This gives "don't blow your chance" a whole new meaning.

How is someone buried in the summer of 1881 die BEFORE someone who died in December of 1880?
Listened to this 2 nights in a row. Great story and the music is awesome. Thank you Ron for the trip ❤
That was nice of the man on the tractor to help you in your efforts. Well done video. Great job.🇺🇸
Wonderful as usual! Welcome to beautiful Ohio. Hopefully you’ll be back soon!
Very enjoyable Ron. Did u get a plate of food? Saved u some! I think we all enjoyed this Video Under the Stars! I do wonder tho, the headstone with the toy helicopter on it, do u think the man was a pilot, possibly?
That was my thought....or maybe coast guard cause it looked similar to there's.
yes, it was yummy 😊
INTERESTING story!! LOVED the drone footage, and accompanying music!! Thanks again, Ron!! Take care, and stay safe all!! XXXX
As always a great video! Thank you Ron
Thank you for all your research and hard work you do to remember these who have been forgotten. Be safe out there.🖒🕊

Aloha! & you read my mind on that 2nd Torpedo💥 mine!😁Great Drone Shots! Did you see the Mohican Wildlife Area on Google Earth? Wild & Gorgeous!
Very interesting stories today! Some of those old graves look well preserved. Others not so much. Loved the video.
Worth it for sure! Excellent story
William Maxfield was a farmer. I found the family on the 1850, 1870 & 1880 census reports. On the 1850 census, 7 kids were listed. I also found his Civil War draft registration.
