    This mausoleum is where my grandparents are interred. Thank you for your respectful treatment.

    I genuinely appreciate that you fixed the flowers and adjusted the turned markers. Thank you. I'm so glad see someone caring for the dead.

    The flowers and photos are such a loving sight to be seen. Your respect for them, and picking up the wreath that had fallen over, is deeply appreciated.

    My step father was a Salesman for a couple of cemeteries. He told us that during the great depression a lot of people couldn't afford tombstones for loved ones so they would make their own from concrete mix. They didn't really hold up to the weather and alot of cemeteries have lost the records over the years, so now there are alot of marked graves that are unknown who is buried there.

    14:01 From a quick Google search, I found that this marker with the initials FCL stands for Fraternity, Charity, Loyalty used by the National Women's Relief Corps which is the auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic, a Veteran's group of Civil War soldiers.
    I apologize if this was already answered in a previous comment. As always, I loved the video.

    Nice videos! You mentioned about damage done with baseball bats. Well, I live next to an old paupers cemetery for 40 years. Over the years, I have seen the damage to grave markers done by the town's LAWN MOWERS! I'm willing to bet, that is what 80% of headstone damage anyone sees.

    Amazing cemetery. The veteran that had no war listed may not have been in a war, but served in the military. It's a shame that kids feel the need to destroy things that don't belong to them. Great job Matt.

      I know what you mean the stained glass is beautiful. To save the church windows they are covering up the stained glass with a window on top of the stained glass.. Next time you pass a church or a place with stained glass look up and notice if it has a covering of another window on top of it. Love your videos, I really enjoy watching them.

    Great find Matt. The old photos were great. We are losing that generation (World War 2). My Mother was 16 when Pearl Harbor was bombed in Hawaii and was an eyewitness to that day. She became a USO Hostess and loved to dance. I can still remember her taking me to where she was standing when she saw the planes and smoke from Pearl Harbor. She passed away in 2013.

A really lovely video, I love those tree memorials they are so artistically done. That Mausoleum was really pretty inside and it was nice to see it hadn't been vandalised even though there are signs of this disgusting behaviour on some of the outside graves. xx

    What a great video Matt, the respect that you show, for those that have passed before us is heartwarming. As you were walking through the cemetery, I could see what was left of a huge tree, it look's like it had been recently cut down. The sextons of the cemetery, sometime's have damaged/dead tree's removed, before they damage stone's. How sad that the only entertainment some can find, is to damage someone's final place of rest. I'm guessing the beer can's may have been picked up by the caretaker, after a late night gathering in the cemetery.

      Sometimes I'll see unopened bottles or cans of beer that friends & family leave behind for their departed loved ones too. It's not always strangers partying or what ever else one might assume? The caretakers usually remove them each time they tend to the grass.

That building has been torn down and what stands here now is a nursing home, a building called Reflections for people in end of life stage, memory care cottages and an apartment building where I live called independent living. This whole campus is called Three Links. The three links are displayed throughout the campus. Feel free to message me with questions.

    I like old out of the way cemeteries. Lots of history, some very old, and back then they often had poetry at the bottom. I find it amazing way back how relatives often died within days of other family members, smallpox, typhus, etc. etc. Even in the woods, now and then you will find an old abandoned family cemetery.
