    Before it started pouring on you, the gray, misty environment just added to the hallowed ground mystic.

    Most excellent job! These folks once had lives...and loved ones. It's good to speak their names. Maybe, someday, two hundred years from now, someone will speak ours.

      @GreatWhiteBuckwheat I don't know. The names aren't etched in any more, just stamped on mostly. I was thinking they'd fade in time.

    I am so impressed with your dedication to bring what I think is awesome content to your subscribers.
    The cemetery videos are some of my favourites.
    Your country has a much longer history of European settlement than we do here in Australia.
    As long as you keep the videos coming, I'll be watching when that bell rings.

    Thank you for taking the time to give us a piece of history as you tour the cemeteries. Appreciative of you sharing as this is the area where many of my ancestors once lived. Families came as Mennonites and Quakers to America. I am related to the founders of Barto, Kulpsville, and Boyerstown. Keeping my fingers crossed that you end up in some of their cemeteries. Many came over really early some stayed as Mennonites and Quakers but most discovered other religious faith based organizations as the generations went on. I have over fifty Civil war Pa vets that were known as "Bucktails" I can see your devotion to your channel as you stand out in the rain. Please continue to keeping sharing Pennsylvania history with us viewers.

    Great to see our veterans honored from the Revolutionary and Civil wars. I enjoy the cemetary videos. I'm pleasantly surprised to see such old gravestones still standing today.

  • @martyjones9374
    @martyjones9374 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love your cemetary explores. Is so great they put the plaques & flags on. Thanks for picking the flag up & replacing. Totally respect your decision of flour and chalk. I like when there is info about the person & family on a stone. The little children one very sad. Thanks, hope you warmed up with some coffee after the rain. :)

    Hooray! I was half jokingly thinking "when are you going to give more botany lessons? Those are my favorite". Of course, that's difficult to do in the middle of winter. But then you managed to sneak some in! That's how a good teacher does it.🖐 I enjoy all of your videos and learning about some of the local vegetation is just an added bonus.

    I am so fascinated with cemeteries and the older stones. Used to eat lunch in a cemetery on the way to work and I found this one old stone that nobody took care of so I started cleaning it up every time I was there. Didn't know the couple, but felt they deserved better! Thanks for sharing! Oh that one stone you had a hard time seeing at the end, looked like Hiester, same name ya ran into earlier.

    Thanks for another great vid. I'm always impressed by the beautiful styles and engravings on the older headstones. When you walk through a cemetery with a very old section and a modern section, the difference is quite noticeable.

  • @daveyjoweaver5183
    @daveyjoweaver5183 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thank You WW, cemeteries are always interesting. In fact, I still don't know if I want to take the big dirt nap or the big BBQ. As much as I enjoy looking through cemeteries, there will be those in the future as well and wonder about us in these times of great change. So even after our passings we can entertain those in the future. Of course the big BBQ does take up less space. But there is something in imagining that skeleton down under isn't there? I have written down information of soldiers and looked up their reg. Flags and histories. Sometimes there is even a picture of the soldier but rarely. My GG Grandfather volunteered for three terms in the Calvary and fought at Antium and other battles. My Grandfather was supposed to get his sword and metals and papers but they were quickly taken by someone else. I have my GGGrandfather picture from 1912 that my Grandfather had taken when he was 20. I even have the rocking chair he was sitting on his porch in the photo. I found his reg. flag online. Very interesting indeed. Also had relatives and three brother enlisted at three different places. Since they didn't read, all three of their names were spelled differently. It was Rhineer, Rhinner and Rineer. Makes it hard to research sometimes but nevertheless fascinating. Great Video WW! Many Thanks and Fine Future Travels on Mother Earth with your great vids! DaveyJO

    Hi Cliff, I like walking around old cemeteries too, you can get a good feel for who used to live in that community . A shame it started raining as it's fascinating reading some of the historic markers for the different wars. I hope you didn't get too soaked as it did start coming down harder for a time. Thank you for sharing, I would like to wish you and your family a very happy and safe new year. x

    Get you a flashlight and shine it from the side of the line your trying to read with it laying on the tombstone pointed down the line you trying to make out . It works better if its a new very bright led type.

    The best thing I have found to read headstones is a flashlight. Hold it across the lettering and it shows up better. No damage to stone.

    Use a small flashlight at an angle to read some of them. Lucerne county has a lot of nteresting graves. Marcy cemetery is very old.

    There is cemetery near my house called the Hanover Green cemetery. There are alot of old graves there. Two notable ones are the graves of George Washington's body guard Rufus Bennett and Capt. Andrew Lee who was a highly regarded spy for George Washington. There is also a marker that denotes a man who was scalped during the battle of Wyoming. It has graves of soldiers from all American wars. If you get to Luzerne County again, you might want to check it out.

    @radioactivelarry 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great information Cliff. Do you know why they would bury a person in an unmarked grave? Even a wooden cross would suffice. I was thinking the real early homemade tombstones were done because they didn't have a monument maker. Looks like duck weather!

    • @thewanderingwoodsman7227
      @thewanderingwoodsman7227  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wooden crosses would have rotted away. They didn't always have the money or expertise to make regular grave markers.

  • @danielbrumbaugh9845
    @danielbrumbaugh9845 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I know of a member of the local genealogical society who uses deveining rods to locate hurried bodies. He claims he can tell the head end from the feet. That would be interesting to try in those open areas of the cemetery.

  • @jamielieberg7053

    Please take care of yourself, wandering around in the rain not a good idea.
