Little damage in this one for cattle roaming thru as they have leaned up against the markers and broke them but there sure is a lot of history here. Thanks for watching.
I just visited the Green Russell Speakeasy (it's a hidden bar under Larimer Square in downtown Denver). Hopefully your photo was taken in person. Thanks for his back story!
I was in Denver last summer and really wanted to visit that speakeasy but I didn't get the chance. I spent a lot of time in the cemeteries there. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@RhettyforHistory Thank you for sharing this!. Do you know the history behind him?. you know he hunted down some men through mountains by himself for revenge to his family in the night and killed them one by one.
My maternal great grandfather and great grandmother family plot is in the middle of cow pasture. At a reunion, money was collected and a sturdy fence placed around the plots to keep cattle out.
It is pretty well kept. I wish they would refrain from letting cattle and or horses on there. Looks like they are doing some damage. Thank you for watching!
Several of my past lives were centered in the Oklahoma area. When your videos is in those areas I get a wave of nostalgia wash over me and I thank you immensely for that...Peace!!! Bill
I have family members in that cemetery. It was vandalized a few years ago & some of the beautiful headstones were destroyed. The teenagers did more damage than the cows. There used to be a beautiful stone that looked like a tree.
That stone may have been a Woodmen of the World marker the way you are explaining it. That is sad on the vandals coming in there like that. I hate to see anything destroying a cemetery. Thank you for watching.
It does. Sometimes that happens and maybe it's just a case of not having information available like we do today. But it is interesting. Thank you for watching!
My great grandparents are buried in this cemetery, but apparently you didn't come across their graves. I remember my uncle taking me to this cemetery when I was younger, and he showed me the marker with the ball shape on top at 15:41. It has sunk down a lot since I was there, and I can't remember if he told me that was someone related or not. Thanks for sharing.
@@RhettyforHistory If you're ever in the Porum area again, I would love it if you could visit Fields Cemetery and Coleman Cemtery close to Porum. Thank you again.
That's a beautiful cemetery... and it looks like you couldn't have picked a better day, weather-wise, to pay it a visit! Great video (as always) and super History lessons too! Too bad about the cows ambling through, though, pushing over headstones and poopin' all over the place. And, totally off topic here, but I just happened to notice you've added a face-mask to your line of merch... very cool! Out of all the channels I'm subscribed too, you're the first one I've seen do that, so far, so I just wanted to mention it here in the comments in case other people hadn't noticed it yet. Thanks, again, for another entertaining/informative video! Take care, Valerie.
Thank you for watching Valerie! It was a nice day but it did get hot later on. I really wish they wouldn't allow the cattle to graze in cemeteries. It's just so destructive to the markers and history within the cemetery. Deer and other wildlife don't seem to do much of that. That is a large cemetery especially for the area.
Thank you Rhett for this video. I love Native American history and Oklahoma is full of it. It's always good to view your videos. Take care and watch those crows.
You're correct on Oklahoma being full of Native history. What is interesting and sad is how these people come from all over and pieces of what they were are back in other areas. Thank you for watching!
Been binge watching all of your work. Love it But almost thru them all. I will miss watching them for a couple hours a night. I will look daily for new ones. Thank you for all you do.
Spring Frog (Tooan-tuh) is 9th great grandfather through the Sanders when Spring Frogs daughter Susannah was married. He is also a distant grandfather to Will Rogers.
Gosh that was great Rhett, so much history, you must have done a lot of research thank you. Did you know that WW11 broke out 81 years today , it's my Husband's Birthday. Any more news of the head stone in the Antique shop?. Been thinking about it. Keep safe. Love from Africa 🐘
Thank you so much for watching and a big Happy Birthday to your husband! The headstone is now in the hands of family. They are checking with some different monument companies to see what it will take to get it placed back where it belongs. They don't know if it can be placed where there is sort of a cement little square or if it it needs a base. It's damaged on the bottom so we don't know if it can be cut off or fixed. The good news is the family did not pay to get it back which is how it should be.
Yes it was great news on the marker! It's been gone a long time and the people who would have known about it have all passed away. But the family now feels strongly that it was taken.
@@RhettyforHistory Thank you for that information Rhett. It was great work on your side. Well done. Sorry i haven't replied sooner, but we are having big power cuts here 9hrs yesterday?All due to bad management??. Keep well & you all have a great weekend. Love from Africa 🐘
You have my interest on high alert. I now have to go find my Dads book on the Native American Cheifs. I belive but not sure if Cheif Spring Frog was one of the Cheifs along with my GGGrandpa Cheif Keokuk. Who was invited to Washington to meet with the President.
Yes, goats will climb but they prefer wooded areas to eat vines, tender limbs, and under brush. Sheep would be better to eat grass. I assume they will not climb the markers.
Very interesting. I didn't realize who he was until I decided to do a little research on him. He really is big time history for numerous areas. That's pretty neat you are right in the midst of it. Thank you for watching!
Not that I'm aware of. And if they did I wouldn't care. There is a lot of history in cemeteries and I know there area lot of people out there just like me that want to know about it.
When you show veterans I am always happy to see they lived way past the conflict they fought in. Thank You
Same here. I also wish I could know their stories. Thank you for watching Linda!
That was a Nice story of chief spring frog.
Thank you for watching Ans!
I'm sure he would have been an interesting man to talk to.
Thank you for this tour . Of a beautiful clean Cemetery . Have A Blessed Day .
You're welcome and thank you so much for watching Patricia!
Fancy living such a long life, only to die in that horrible way.

Thank you for watching John!
The cemetery looks very well taken care of. It’s so good to see these cemeteries. I love seeing the veterans markers also. Thanks for sharing.
Little damage in this one for cattle roaming thru as they have leaned up against the markers and broke them but there sure is a lot of history here. Thanks for watching.
I love your channel and your voice fits the stories aswell
Thank you so much for watching as well as the kind words!

Thank you for watching Harry!
I really like the Cherokee chief's tomb. Fascinating history
He really does have a unique marker in the shape of a coffin like that. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory He is my direct Great Great Great something Grandfather!. Super interesting story on him.
I love his burial marker. Thank you for watching Patrick!

Very Interesting,Old, Pretty Well Kept Cemetery, Glad to see that..
It is pretty well kept. I wish they would refrain from letting cattle and or horses on there. Looks like they are doing some damage. Thank you for watching!
spring frog, i love that name, thanks again for the adventure Rhetty.
It is a different name for sure. Thank you for watching Tom!
It’s always amazing what can be found. At least two maybe more people there played significant rolls in American history.
Yes they did. All from a cemetery that I really had no idea even existed. Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks you so much for this video.. I sent my letter before I found this very good video.. Love all your histroy videos
Thank you for watching Terry! I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the history videos.
You are a great speaker.
Thank you for the kind words.
Great adventure take care,stay safe ,,,
Thank you so much for watching Victoria!
Always love your videos. So sad about the cow damage.
Yeah it is. Too much history in there to allow that. Thank you for watching!
Great video and a lot of history in there. Well filmed Thankyou
Yes there is. It's surprising to see that much history in there and how it has to do with other areas more so than Oklahoma. Thank you for watching!
I Appreciate That's Bro....
Thanks Again !
Excellent as always - thanks
Thank you and I appreciate you watching!
This is a great cemetery I'm glad its being looked after love the flowers 💐 💦
Thank you so much for watching Sandy! This cemetery is actually pretty good sized. Especially for the area.
Several of my past lives were centered in the Oklahoma area. When your videos is in those areas I get a wave of nostalgia wash over me and I thank you immensely for that...Peace!!!

@queenofmeanest meanie Yes, I hope they got caught.
@@RhettyforHistory It was a woodsman of the world stone. It was a tall tree with an axe in it. It was beautiful.
I hate to see vandalism in cemeteries.
Found this one I didn’t watch before. Quite interesting. Great video, can that cabin be visited ? Sad the native drown, poor old guy
I'm not sure if the cabin in TN can be visited or not. It would be interesting to see. Thank you for watching Linda!
Great video. That Chief’s tombstone is amazing! As always a great history lesson.
It really is different in the shape of a coffin. Thank you for watching!
The Russell grave contradicts itself. Flat marker shows 57 yrs. Lived, while the standing marker shows 66 yrs.! Great video, thank you for sharing!
It does. Sometimes that happens and maybe it's just a case of not having information available like we do today. But it is interesting. Thank you for watching!
another great video and as always I'm looking forward to the next one .
Thank you Tammy and I appreciate you watching!

I just double checked and that marker with the ball on top is my great grandfather. My 2nd greats are also buried there, too.
Thank you for watching and sharing more about this cemetery and your family. That is very fascinating. This was really a great cemetery to visit.

That cemetery sure has a lot of history in there... keep up the great work 👍👍👍
Yes it does. Really quite surprising as it is somewhat hidden. Thank you for watching!
Really nice and interesting cemetery and as always very educational thru your readings.
Thank you so much for watching Arleen!
Veteran West was 1933 to 2014 it looked like to me.
Yes you are correct. Thank you for watching and catching that.
Been binge watching all of your work. Love it But almost thru them all. I will miss watching them for a couple hours a night. I will look daily for new ones. Thank you for all you do.
I appreciate you taking the time to view the older ones! There will definitely be more on the way though.
☝️♥️ another great interesting video. Thanks
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
Another interesting vid !!
Thank you so much for watching!
Spring Frog (Tooan-tuh) is 9th great grandfather through the Sanders when Spring Frogs daughter Susannah was married. He is also a distant grandfather to Will Rogers.
Well visited for an old cemetery, judging by all flowers, flags, etc.
Yes, someone is definitely caring. Maybe the landowner. Thank you for watching.
What a long. & Interesting life he lead. Can understand why it caught your interest. Cheers Lynne Australia 🇦🇺🐨👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Between how old was, his marker shape and how early his burial was for our state it certainly caught my attention. Thank you for watching Lynne!
My Daughter and I and my mom were in ChattanoogaTennessee 5 week ago on our way to Florida
awesome beard bro!

I'm related by blood to spring frog
Same, direct decendant through the Sanders.
You have my interest on high alert. I now have to go find my Dads book on the Native American Cheifs. I belive but not sure if Cheif Spring Frog was one of the Cheifs along with my GGGrandpa Cheif Keokuk. Who was invited to Washington to meet with the President.
That is very interesting. Let me know if you find anything.
Yes, goats will climb but they prefer wooded areas to eat vines, tender limbs, and under brush. Sheep would be better to eat grass. I assume they will not climb the markers.
It would be better to not have any animals on there in order to preserve the markers. Some of them are quite old.
@@RhettyforHistory you are correct
I live directly across the road from the South Platte. Anyone with an interest in Colorado history knows Russell's name.
Very interesting. I didn't realize who he was until I decided to do a little research on him. He really is big time history for numerous areas. That's pretty neat you are right in the midst of it. Thank you for watching!
If that was an eagle feather, it is illegal to keep an eagle feather without a federal permit.
@Jeff Rasberry I take it that you must be a member of one of the Indian tribes. Is that correct?
Mother nature reclaims what man has put in .some how some way .
You're certainly right about that. Thank you for watching!
Has anybody called you weird 4 going 2. So many graveyards. Lori and coco pritchard
Not that I'm aware of. And if they did I wouldn't care. There is a lot of history in cemeteries and I know there area lot of people out there just like me that want to know about it.
Oh goodness that is very sad and so disrespectful to allow cows into the cemetery..
In all fairness there could have been some that broke thru the fence or even jumped over it. Thank you for watching Laura.
🌹💋❤️
Thank hou for watching Ellen!
I love cookies!
Thanks for watching!
