Camp Wheeler was a United States Army base near Macon, Georgia. The camp was a staging location for many US Army units during World War I and World War II. It was named for Joseph Wheeler, a general in the Confederate States of America's Army and in the U.S. Army in the Spanish-American War. Well done Robert in saying the names of these long forgotten people.
My father was stationed at Camp Wheeler during his entire army stint in WW2 which was 2years 9 months and 28 days. He was already 28 years old when drafted in 1940.
The other Robert, It is great that you fill in for Robert,, It is sad to see the grave yards that have not been taken care of. My mothers sisters had all of there familys grave markers reqlaced with granite as they dont deteorate like the old limestone. All of the graveyards in that county are maintained by the county.
I so enjoy listening to you, Other Robert. Your commentary is thoughtful, and full of life.....interesting considering the topic you do research on! Smile on!
Antoinette Lassiter died Sept 30, 1903, the day her infant Annie was born. This wasn't childbirth fever, for that took 7-10 days. I wonder if she hemorrhaged during the birth. Little Annie did not get her mother's antibodies that come with the colostrum, produced the first days of nursing, and that, plus whatever type of feeding she was given, probably led to her aged three-month death. There sure was a lot of tragedy all those years ago. Thanks, Robert O and your assistant, for sharing this with us.
A historical marker for Camp Wheeler is located near Riggins Mill Road in southeast Bibb County. The training camp was situated on 21,480 acres in what is now east Macon for World War I, and then on 14,394 acres during World War II.
Other Robert, thank you for sharing. Let's leave comments and likes to grow this channel. History is vital. We need to preserve the memory of those who walked before us.
Congratulations Other Robert! You found some of my kinfolks. Peter Faust’s father Samuel moved to Botsford from SC in 1825. Sadly we don’t know where he’s buried.
i enjoyed the trip with you. I'm housebound due to illness but I used to love exploring the old forgotten places. Thank you for sharing the adventures.
Thank you Robert for another lost n possibly forgotten cemetery. I have to agree that one area was possibly the older section. It’s so good of you n Robert to share this with others. In giving their names n year of their death. To me I felt some sadness seeing how they pretty much bull dozed that one area where the fence had been all squashed up yet you found the gate. The whole history of cemeteries fascinates me. 😊♥️👍👍👍👍
Hi Robert! If you have a mobile phone with you that has a torch app - you can hold that to the side of the writing ….it helps with shadowing the lettering so you can see them easier! Thankyou for a fascinating visit to this cemetery….and for reading the names out of the resident’s there. Best wishes from over the pond! 🙋♀️😘👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙋♀️💐🙏
Well robert you are definitely doing a good job 👏 well done Robert on finding another part of the cemetery keep safe and well Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧
Thank you Robert and Miss Helper for reading and exploring this cemetery. The graves in the wooded area, could they possibly be enslaved people who were buried outside of the cemetery proper ? Just a thought.
Greetings to the other Robert from a cold 15 degree Morrow Co. Ohio. I had never paid much attention to graveyards/cemetery's until my husband became a supervisor at a large cemetery in which has one civil war veteran in a mausoleum. Where I live there are a few old cemetery's around that has a few graves in them. I was told that when there was a death that they couldn't travel very far with the body do to deterioration and buried them where they could. I live by an old church cemetery that was used for those that lived in the surrounding country side area. The church has been long gone. I'm guessing that give or take about 30 people are buried there. I've learned a lot from your channel. I don't think but not sure if there's any slave graves here. But I now know to look for indentions and field stones for those that couldn't afford head stones or for those poor people that experienced slavery. No one should of been treated so inhumanely that the slaves endured.Thank you for your history lessons. Keep on keeping on my Georgia friends.
Thank You Mr. Robert, be careful trying to lift those heavey stones! How sad that they just came in and plow all the graves over, guess they didn't do much research first.
Camp Wheeler was located in Macon, GA . It was a mobilization location and closed 1919. 8 October 1940, the second Camp Wheeler was established with construction beginning on 21 December 1940. The second camp wheeler was closed in 1946.
Hi " other robert" loved your walk in the wooded grave yard... say hi to your camera girl too. Sometimes it takes a few more steps to find hidden history and thats what you guys do.
You have a sincerity which comes through in your voice as well as in your actions, I Thank you sir, for caring immensely and sincerely about all these good folks who have passed long ago, yet their lives are their stories! Robert, you put all of yourself into making these videos, the Blood, Sweat and Tears literally pour from your body: Thank You So Very Kindly for helping to keep these folks well documented! Please take GOOD Care of yourself while out and about filming and cleaning up as best you can, especially without your tools!
So sad that a cemetery can be forgotten and left..Now that you have said their names, they cant be forgotten. Ty for another great video Mr Other Robert.
Thanks for finding these graves/graveyard of the forgotten ones. Whether by death of the family or by lost of the church. Older/disabled people unable to care for their loved ones graves.
Wow, great video, Other Robert! You have great eye to have noticed that stone in the distance, discovering a whole new section of the graveyard! Very exciting!
About 9:52, Robert reads the birth and death of a Lassiter baby and then next to the infant he reads the dates of the mother, Antoinette, who died the day the baby was born. How very sad to lose your wife and then months later your child.
Love you guys. To bad you didn't have one them machines you push and put echoes in ground where can look on computer to see what's in the ground to see where the old graves are that didn't have markers.. could the back then have marked with wooden crosses that decomposed. Be safe in the woods love from central Florida
At 17:56 those granite markers could easily be from 1936 and 46. Granite was available back then, just not used as much, depending on the area anyway. But being the same as each other, and the fact that they don't match the slabs, they are probably newer. Anyway, that's a neat old cemetery. It's too bad they bulldozed that fence into the woods though.
That’s so sad to see the babies that were born and only lived for a few months and to see the ones that died so early in their age and read the writing on the bottom of the head stone is so heartbreaking yet for the head stones are really beautiful to be so old
Hey Mr Robert. I am still watching to see if you ever run across my gggg grandparents Graves out in the woods of Georgia. They lived out in that Parr of Georgia. Surname Coulter. But ggg grandparents are buried in Godwin cemetery in phenix city Alabama. Wiley Harrison Coulter. He was a civil war veteran who had a brother killed at Gettysburg and a nephew killed in that war also.
Robert, you are now my favourite person ever. I could watch you explore and explain stuff all day. It's so engaging, and surprisingly relaxing. So glad I recently found this channel. I love the southern aesthetic.... Abandoned Plantation buildings, old churches, cemeteries, dirt back roads etc.
Wish you would of stood a bit longer and focused on the Grave of William Miller, since this may of been a member of my Paternal side of my family.. My great Great Grandfather was named William Miller.Robert, you could be right on the 4 or five graves right by the road that the headstones were vandalized and destroyed. shame there was no markings on the slabs. Looks like someone was there and tried to take or like you stated, Robert tried to clear things off and destroyed the markings of a family plot .Also think your correct in the boundaries of the cemetery is that the gate and the old fence, along with other graves, in the far back is the older part of the cemetery, and no one knew where the boundaries were, and really SHOULD be resurveyed, and marked as such, maybe even get ground penetrating there as well to look for other graves, that look to be unmarked. Thank you for all your work on this Robert, greatly appreciated, just wish you would of spend a bit more time on William Miller's grave. I almost was able to read it, and then you moved on..
You guys need a probe that you can use to find buried headstone es. We took old broom ha does. Cut off the broom head. The we embedded screwdrivers, f,at headed, into the end. Glue is a good idea. Cheap. Effective. A great tool for discovery.

antnette lassider died in child birth sept 30 1903 with baby annie who then passed away 4 months later, jan 1904. so sad

My father was stationed at Camp Wheeler during his entire army stint in WW2 which was 2years 9 months and 28 days. He was already 28 years old when drafted in 1940.
Antoinette died in childbirth (September 30, 1903) and her baby lived for only 3 months.
Horrible :(
Thank you Robert, by speaking the names of the departed, they are no longer forgotten.🙏❤️🇨🇦
Looks like Antnette Lassiter possibly died giving birth to Annie Lassiter Sept 30, 1903?
Love your videos! Glad you're back at it!
I noticed that, too. Her death date is the same as Annie's birth date.
Came here to see if anyone else noticed that. I always look to see if there's any correlation between the dates.

she very well could of had many issues relating to the birthing causing her death
Well done "Other Robert " good to see again. Thank you for taking the time to share your adventures with us. Stay safe. God bless 🌺🐾
I’ve been missing the graveyard/cemetery videos. TY other Robert for stepping up.
A historical marker for Camp Wheeler is located near Riggins Mill Road in southeast Bibb County. The training camp was situated on 21,480 acres in what is now east Macon for World War I, and then on 14,394 acres during World War II.
Camp Wheeler is now Herbert Smart Airport and an industrial park near Macon, Georgia. I found this out on Wikipedia
Although I know some people feel like these graveyards are abandoned and unkept. I imagine they have a peace that some urban cemeteries dont have.
I love the "Other Robert" searching Grave Yards. Some pretty cool stones.
Other Robert, thank you for sharing. Let's leave comments and likes to grow this channel. History is vital. We need to preserve the memory of those who walked before us.

Robert the Green, thank you for stopping and acknowledging those who put their mark on this great nation and then moved on to the Lord.
So glad you are back other Robert ! Thanks for picking up the slack so Robert can work at the farm ! Both of you are doing a great job !

Mr. Robert is a great narrator and color commentator. It’s good to see him on Sidestep. ( suggestion for Mr. Robert ) .. relax more.
Good to see you other Robert,
About 9:52, Robert reads the birth and death of a Lassiter baby and then next to the infant he reads the dates of the mother, Antoinette, who died the day the baby was born. How very sad to lose your wife and then months later your child.

Thank You other Robert!
So glad to see you back
Good episode Robert...Thanks
I often wonder if “unmarked” graves were actually marked at the time of burial with wooden markers that have since rotted away.
