Thank you!!!!! For the care and love that you give to the graves and the memories to these people.
Thank you.
Thank you for your dedication to this project. I am so happy you do this and am proud of your dedication. I am 84 years old and follow both you and the other Robert and what you both do is important to showing respect for the people who have gone. Thank you.
Thank you "Other" Robert for bringing the "forgotten" back to life once more.🙏
This is so, so sad. There has got to be some way the county can come in and clear and clean these old cemeteries up. This is history and people's lives who once were. It doesn't matter if your related, they need to be remembered. If I was in Georgia I would help clear nature's litter. Thanks Other Robert for showing us this huge cemetary.
Mrs. O, Robert O is a crackup. 678 pages in the contract. 😂 New Hope II is an incredible graveyard. The storm that blew down the trees - remnants of a hurricane? A really wide tornado? Such a shame that descendants didn't come back to clean it up. Thanks for all three parts, Robert and Mrs. O.
I loved this video.. It is so sad though that the town does not keep up these little burial grounds. Do you know why these places are forgotten and no one has kept them up?? I always thought it was unlawful to not take care of and respect those who are buried in any cemetery. I am very thankful for the cemetery that my loved ones are buried in in CA. Always well taken care of.. Thank you for all you do ..
Many of these counties in rural Georgia are sparsely populated with little funding. Most of the cemeteries are surrounded by private property and, without permission, are only accessible by descendants of those buried within them.
Good video Other Robert. I can see and hear your compassion and concern for these forgotten people. So sad. TY for all you do.
Can’t tell you how much I enjoy these “the other” Robert. Hoping you get combat pay for these adventures.
With all you find out there, I wonder how many are still lost? They seemed to be everywhere. Great job as always O.R. U R a good man😊
Thank you for returning and uncovering a few more forgotten souls Mr. Robert.
Thank you Robert for sharing another cemetery, please be safe out there and know there family members can find them
I truly appreciate how gentle and caring you are to all these graves. I wish someone would go in and clear off the gravestones from the trees or brush that has grown over the graves. It makes me sad to see them in the shape they are in.
I love how you say their names and then rest in peace. 😊
Thank you Other Robert for all your effort and hard work to bring us such interesting and important material.
we appreciate your efforts to return to this location to bring us all the facts. You really had to go above and beyond
Two "Others" (Robert and other New Hope) almost make a Wright. 😊 Very interesting. Amazingly large and yet forgotten. Enjoyed it as usual. Always great. Robert, the intro was really nice, music and sloMo. I wonder if the Other Robert is wearing his neon green camo socks?😅 👍👍❣️Now wait a minute, I thought the last few pages of the contract did not print when the printer ran out of paper at 671 pages. I think the limit of graves and markers found was UNLIMITED. Other Robert you cover them all or nothing. 🤨
Love these programs, love the use of archaic English words. We would use indentation not indention. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
Thank you so very much for sharing the local historical society’s just need more volunteers to persevere history should be a national historical society volunteer day 👍👍❤️
Thank you Robert for taking such care! You can see some iris planting near tombstones , so someone cared for them once!
I wonder how many were killed in the civil war and how many fought in the war there had to be a town close by. Thanks for sharing now this resting place needs to be helped for sure. There are a lot of souls here
Grandpa always said....watch out for those damn briars other Robert.
thank yo again other Robert, sir!!! and mrs Robert too!!
Nothing like a good ole R rated video!! 😅. Great job Robert senior. 🎉🎉🎉 👍🏻
🤣🤣🤣
Another above and beyond Other Robert video. Keep up the great work.
Loving your commentary out of interest what has happened to the other Robert 👍
Good work! I do a lot of perimeter work at local cemeteries and it so satisfying when we find 2 or 3 we can reclaim....nevermind 100!!!
Man, i wish i could join you doing this fine work
I’d come and help if I was closer. Bless ya’ll for doing what you do
You are sure a trooper, traipsing through the overgrowth. I love that the missus joins you!
Excellent video! Please keep them coming👍
I'm glad that you do this. I'm glad that you share it with us. Thank you for showing us they're last resting place. Souls watching down from heaven.
Robert, thank you for your video and all your hard work.I hope the families show up and take care of their family gravestones.Thank you
Thank you so much for returning to this graveyard to clean it up. God bless you.
Another great adventure, I love watching these videos on lost Graves.
Thank you for all you do. Making history come to life. You have a great respect for those people, Thank you Robert. BTW...I get tired just watching you.
Robert Dear: You are the only one out there going to the trouble to pay respect and document these names. God bless you!
Aloha 🌺 Robert it's such a shame, the stones are so beautiful! Appreciate all you do to give us the pleasure of viewing them. Thank you so much! 🌺🥰
I hope you and Robert and a bunch of friends clear this cemetery soon and maintained after restoration soon
This would be a great Boy Scout project or church group (younger people) endeavor. I wish I was young enough to help.
Love having you back ❤
Thank you!!! I love your adventurous spirit and determination!! I would love to find graves and talk history with all of you!❤
I will definitely keep watching. I apologize for my attitude the other day. I love exploring old cemeteries and it was so frustrating to not be able to see the tombstones I knew were there but couldn't see because they were covered. My son and I were doing genealogy research in Putnam Co, TN and visited over 20 cemeteries. We would have gone to more but couldn't find them because the areas they were supposed to be were so over grown with brush, fallen leaves and trees (like this one you explored). One we attempted walking through was so bad after about 15 min we realized we could have walked right by it and not see it plus if we got very far from the road we might get lost so we turned back. If I lived near you (I live in Ohio) I would be in there helping you and I would even carry the tools! 😊Anyway I love the videos you do but this one just got to me but I will still be watching. Bring them on!
Robert do you report finding these graves to the city or county so that these graves do not suffer more damage? Enjoy yourvideos!
Thanks Robert we enjoy all you do take care
Thank you Robert for policing the graveyard. God sees what your doing. See you on the next! ❤😊
I love this cemetery. The decorations and carvings on what remains on the headstones are fantastic.
There may be graves under the road. It's sad to see the graves treated that way. Did y'all say who owns the property now? Is there any way to preserve the graves?
There is some done that way in the old cemetery in my area .
Plus multiple people buried in the same grave (s ) .
Such as my GRT uncles who died as children ,have their mother buried with them in the same grave.
You spoke their names and for a little while they have lived again..ty Mr Robert :)
Hi Other Robert, thank you for all you do. God bless. Good luck on the “contract”. Lol 😂😂 free steak sandwiches😂😂 Joyce ❤️🙏🇺🇸
Please make a kit to leave in your vehicle of the tools you need for your graveyard trips..mainly gloves, brush, loppers, water, flashlight
Chainsaw.
Y'all need one of those "DR Field and Brush Mower". It's like a walk-behind brush hog. The TV commercials show a guy mowing down thick brush, just like what that cemetery is over-run with. It's made for that.
Here in NJ, down in Cumberland County there's a Presbyterian church that was founded in 1680. Their first cemetery is in the woods like that, directly behind the Methodist cemetery. Many years ago they got an army of volunteers and cleaned it up, to the point where there is no brush any more, even though it's still woods. It was in use till 1780, but the newest marked grave that I have found is from 1742.
That New Hope cemetery is pretty cool. Very interesting.
A little tip, bring shaving and smear on stone to read. It will bring out letters. Also, a backpack with all your graveyard tools in it will help. Take and carry, always ready.
Thank you Robert
Sad that know one takes care of those old cemeteries nice to know that at least you care enough to find them and document.
Great work, Sir
Great video Robert. Hope you are doing good and get to finish this graveyard.
I think it’s wonderful what you are doing 🌼🌸🌺
Beautiful find❤❤❤
Better look into that contract. You're such a trooper. Much love and respect for what you're doing mr. Other Robert
Beside the first Mr. Lennard grave, I spotted irises, which had to have been planted. Irises are tough and live for many, many years.
So sad all those cemeteries were forgotten, their is alot of wonderful history there.
Thank you
enjoyed your effort
May all the forgotten souls in this graveyard rest in peace.
It's ad to see how the past is forgotten so many years. I wonder if any relatives are living still.
You do like those prickly bushes. Who is behind the camera. Whoever it is well done in keeping up with Robert. It’s good Robert from farm has handed it over to you as he certainly doesn’t have time to do it anymore. Cheers from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🐨👍🏻🎖
We’re doing it together, I dunno why there’s a misconception we’re not - 😅 - Robert from the farm, being me - also edits all these videos and runs the channels
Robert, you should have someone with you, so you don't have a bad fall,or something. Thankyou for your caring work,though. 💗💗
Robert, NO limit for Orobert, he's doing fantastic finding these forgotten cemeteries, and he needs a small chain saw to get thru the trees and open up these cemeteries. Great job Orobert..
I think he was the one who penciled in that part of the contract- for when he gets worn out 🤣
@@AdventuresIntoHistory OMD! Too funny, I should of figured.😆
Incredible amazing graveyards
I want to be there!
Bless you for doing this work. Some descendants may now know where their ancestor is buried. Good. Maybe the descendants can hire out work to clear the brambles and help get the place in better condition - maybe charitable organizations can help? Who knows. May not be too far gone to get it in decent shape. I know some ancestors of mine were in a cemetery not known and found on a farm field in Missouri - away from where it was always suspected to be at. So glad you did this photography and limited work as you were able. I am not affiliated in any way with these people or the burials there.
I love the old tombstones .
Incredible!
Thank you Robert and production crew.
It's such a shame that these are in such condition. We had a deal with the sheriff's offices in three counties each county had two crews of "volunteers " from the jail and honor farms worked very well many news paper articles commending their hard work and organizing,
U N T I L
Someone somewhere not even conected to any of these programs brought up the family's of the entombed needed to have advocates and representatives. So in the crapper it went three counties twenty years.
I'm just afraid that one of these days the other Robert is going to have a heart attack while moving one of those heavy stones. 😬
I was thinking that same thing
You need a small broom or brush too. Amazing how many old cemeteries are out there.
Heart breaking seeing the cemetery abandoned like this
You do make me laugh, is that OK when you're in a cemetary ? Ya'll are a good man....Gayle in Canada 😊
You came back to this cemetery again and once again didn't bring your tools. Knowing this cemetery has so many tombstones lying on the ground covered in leaves a brush or broom would have been really good to have along? I can't believe this.
Perhaps he has more than one vehicle and the kit is in the other one? He's doing this by himself, cut him some slack.
Me either!!! (Tall Tales 100)We aren't always as prepared as we should be, more or less we are the impulsive less calculated part of the team; however we intend to get better, please keep watching🙄
Thurber❤ thanks for havin' our backs!
I found information on E C Higdon. He was Elijah C Higdon. He enlisted 9 Oct 1861. He was ranked Sergeant of the Forty Third Infantry, Fifth East Tenn Volunteers, Gillespies' AND Regiment.
Please let’s keep going. Incredibly interesting.
WOW!
Thank you for helping clean this up. Did you find out any history on this property, like the church or community?
My husband's family there. Lennard. Have you explored the 2 cemeteries in Chickasawhatchee? We found the Baptist church one. Desecrated by plowing. My husband great-grandfather in Methodist one but unable to find it.
Not so far, but will keep in mind as we explore more areas, thank you for watching.
There is an old graveyard we explored as children in a remote part of the woods. We discovered an older part below a timber road that nobody knew about. A Civil War hero, Rufus McComas buried there with a small wrought iron fence. Years later went back and tree had grown up in the grave and crushed the stone, fence was gone perhaps for scrap iron. A treasure trove of very old graves, and probably destroyed by trees by now. Talked to an older lady, and she said they cut a road through there way back to timber without any respect or consideration for destroying graves and cutting the cemetery in half. 💔
A nice electric chain saw (they're light) and a machete would be your friend in the areas you go. The right tools make the experience so much easier. Pretty with all the daffodills
Perhaps the service groups could take on some of the clearing and cleaning of the stones, as part of their community service badges. The amount of history they could learn!
how is that so many of these cemeteries are abandoned, with the graves being so recent?
i continue to be stunned. I own books older than these cemeteries, that are in better condition.
Most of my village is older than the USA historically speaking, and people still live in the houses.
Our church is about 800 years old with burials in it dating back to the early days. And we still have services in it!!
Robert it would be nice if you brought along some hand nippers to cut away some of those briars and a garden rake so you don’t have to stick your hand down in those leaves beings I know the snakes are probably out there
It's such a shame so many cemeteries are not taken care of
We called those Devils Walking Sticks. It is unfortunate that cemetery is left in such total disrespect.
Great video and kudos for surpassing your "contract" limit. Bringing the forgotten back to light does tend to negate a "contract", right? 😆
It's a locust tree, and yes they hurt and leave a hole that hurts for a while.
Gonna have to read the contract
Judging how the trees had fallen in a crisscross pattern like that and the wide area of destruction it looks like tornado damage to me. a strong twister by itself could easily topple those headstones but those fallen trees sure didn't help matters.
Great observations, it certainly seems to make sense we could check weather history of area and see how long ago it was
OR,you made a great effort,good video. I think that contract must be quite a read... renegotiation may be in order...😸💕take care and have you a steak sandwich.
Is rhere a new contract for u. There better be, I do enjoy
This
So sad so many died young.
FYI ... At 0:03, that sticker plant, it is called "The Devil's Walking Stick."
Thanks for plant identification!
Maybe you could organise a clean up group.
