    Thank you for posting about this cemetery. The Spanish style one is my father in law's grave site. My husband and his brothers worked very hard to make his site a special place for his family to visit him. I think it turned out beautiful! My in laws also have gone to cemetery to mow the lawn there and clean up cemetery. That is great that you are teaching your daughter about those fansinating places.

      Your family has really created something special, unique and beautiful. I really loved what has been done for his memorial. It's always nice to see people that choose to honor their loved one and still care for the cemetery too. Thank you for doing that.

      It's good to get them out in all that when they are young. I have had them all out in cemeteries but she is the only one that really enjoys it as well as other little adventures.

    Hi Rhetty, What I loved about this video is it is showing how you are teaching your daughter respect for those souls who have passed on before and their graves. She is learning from a great dad. I learned about cemetery respect from my parents and grandfather, and my son learned it from me! Waving from a rainy day here in Michigan~

    • @RhettyforHistory
      @RhettyforHistory  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's the best way to pass it on! All of my girls have been in a cemetery and taught to respect them. I've had them in several cleaning them up. I don't think the others enjoy it as much as this one does. She's my little adventurer. If the others are around then she isn't so much. I learned from my paternal grandmother so hopefully she will carry that on. Thanks for watching from Michigan! Hope you're not getting flooded!

    So nice to see your daughter with you. Brought back fond memories when I used to take my 3 sons with me when I would visit my parents and niece's graves. After their initial helping out taking care of the graves, they would wander off and play in the woods nearby collecting cat tails and then helping righting flags in the VA section. Now that they are grown, they've told me of visits they've made on their own to various friends (sadly) and relatives.

    • @RhettyforHistory
      @RhettyforHistory  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's always sad losing friends and relatives. But when that happens and it's someone you truly care about I think it will probably open your eyes up on cemetery care. Especially if something isn't right. I learned from my paternal grandmother and I've tried to pass that down to my girls. I think my youngest who is in this video gets it for sure. Thanks for watching.

      You're right about that. This would have been a country cemetery and it's probably been swallowed up by Oklahoma City growth over the last 20 or 30 years. I think it's neat to see where town names and street names etc come from. Thanks for watching!

    The Canadian Valley News, Jones City, Oklahoma Friday August 18, 1905:
    "A gloom was cast over the little town of Witcher and the whole east part of the county by the death of Daniel J. Witcher and his wife, which occurred Tuesday. Mrs. Witcher died on Tuesday afternoon and that night, Mr. Witcher passed away. The cause of their demise was typhoid fever. The funeral services of both were held Wednesday afternoon under the auspices of the Odd Fellows’ fraternity, of which order Mr. Witcher was a member. Burial was made in the cemetery two miles north of Witcher. Mr. Witcher was one of the best known farmers in the county and was an extensive land owner. His death and that of his estimable wife is mourned by all who know them."

    I liked the statue of the child and dog sitting on a bench. You'd think that because there are older headstones in this cemetery that there would be more residents in it.

      You're so considerate to reply. This additional response is because the youth in your clip obviously shares your enthusiasm. I am Cherokee, and a longstanding tradition my family participates in every 3rd Saturday in May is called Decoration Day. If not for this appointed day, many gravesites would've been lost to the woods. These cemeteries are commonly reached by unpaved roads, sometimes through creeks, not over and above (as in bridged), are not well-known to anyone but relatives of the interred. These graveyards are still burying recently deceased. The plots are free of charge. The cemetery where my family is buried is named Chuculate. (Pronounced
      CHOO kah layt) It's over 140 years old. There are many like it all throughout NE Oklahoma in Indian Territory, way out in the boondocks. Come up and meet "all us Indians". We'll tell you anything you want to know. (And probably much more.😁) Your introduction of a youngster to this element of life is going to keep her grounded (pardon the pun), and prepared for proper behavior at any funerals she attends in the future. And she will serve as ambassador of the subject to her age group, I'm certain.
      Happy hunting.

    My aunt was buried by the government unfortunely. She was not close to her family. I was the only one who would talk to her,however, she deserved her family to be there. Her daughter's comment when she told me of her passing was " oh, well ". When. Y mom passed neither came to pay any respect, I don't understand it Rhetty.

      It's sad to see that happen but I know it does. Each of us are unique and each of us should be loved. We all have our faults but we all deserve that. May your aunt and your mother rest in peace. And at the very least they have you and now you have shared their memory so they have even more. Thank you for sharing with us all Nadia.
