VANDALIZED CEMETERY! Fixing and Cleaning Graves In Historic Slave Cemetery | Mahone Ingram Cemetery
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Join us for a profound journey at the Mahone Cemetery, where we dedicate several days-and a month's worth of efforts-to restore and honor this historic site. In this video, we focus particularly on the grave of Manson Hamler, born in 1846, who most likely began his life in slavery. His grave, marked by the most impressive headstone in the cemetery, receives special attention as we carefully clean and preserve his memory.
The cleanup process involves clearing away cut trees and tidying the surroundings, a task made lighter by wonderful volunteers. A big thank you to Joy, Paula from the Murder Most Southern TH-cam channel, and her daughter for their invaluable help and companionship throughout this project.
Watch as we work together to preserve a piece of our shared history, paying respect to those who came before us and ensuring their resting places are remembered and respected.
We are back at the Mahone-Ingram cemetery to get some more clean up done and take a closer look at some of the graves.

Robert:
(The following is not Judgemental nor Condescending, it is Discernment and a Request)
Please, (you guys/gals in your group), make a commitment to STOP Bare-hand removal of leaves. The Scorpion demonstrated why, and (there are other toxic venomous crawlers and snakes that lay in the leaves and debris).
Find gloves that are used to protect hands from such injury and invest the money/costs to be safe in your Explorations and Works.
"You can't afford not to do this.". There are younger folks that watch your Channel and I know you realize "the responsibility of your example".
Enjoy your Explorations and Passion with Conscious Thought, in Good Health, and with a practice of Safety.
Appreciate ya,

Robert you are a good man my friend ! These people that are buried there probably don't have any family left there to take care of the graves. ( It's a shame ) . Believe me God has taken notice of what you do. It will come back to you in the future. Hope you read this. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA.......
Thank you, Robert for your love and respect for these souls. Your kindness will not be forgotten. Blessings from Michigan.
36:26 WOW, a thousand times! Awesome. Now we can put a nice photo of the grave on the internet so his descendants can be proud ❤
You are a wonderful person to help rebuild these beautiful people greaves and head stones. Bless you
Robert,you are a good man.Cleaning and documenting Graves so that these people are not forgotten .God bless you for all you do.
So sorry to hear you had Covid. I went almost 3yrs before I had it last Nov. Not too bad just like the flu and out sick about 2wks. I went on Ancestry and shows Marriage record of Manson Hamler and Lizzie Dozier Aug 17 1870. She was 24 yrs old. They show 2 kids in I think 1870 or so census 2yr James and 3mo Mansen. Shows Lizzie as Farm Laborer.
U do a amazing work and effort on the cemeteries and headstones.. and rely history as u come to know of it about the person and cemetery..D2 should sponsor ur channel..thank for sharin..
Awesome my friend, your dedication is not overlooked would love show you some my family cemeteries in Tennessee
Many Blessings and thanks for the great job Robert 2❤
Thank you Robert for the job that you are doing in locating these.
Amazing work, Robert. You are a decent, honorable man
Thank you for caring. God bless.
You and your other locals working to get these forgotten cemeteries on the maps and cleaning what you can are my heroes! Keep it up ✝️.
Hopefully, the governing bodies will step up their protection of all these sites.
Hmmm….me thinks that stealing trees from a graveyard is just asking for bad juju. Thank you for all you do!!
Demons attach to the blood of those they previously possessed. Sometimes objects possessed by people but not trees. However, God does punish those who do wicked things.
I like it that you have your dogs with you!
Great job Robert.
It's good to see the improvements you are making. It's really a shame people are stealing the wood. Basically they are stealing from the dead. I hope they are caught.
Hard work for a worthy cause, you can definitely see the transformation from the first time you went there and discovered all the damage from the tree poachers. Great job!
Thank God there is someone like you that takes good care of the forgotten cemeterys. Beautiful job cleaning all the headstones.
Impeccable job. you have outdone yourself with the work you have done. Why did you pick this cemetery versus another one?
I hope the living descendants if there be any see this and they can do their family research. The burial grounds of enslaved people should be more protected even if they are privately owned and maybe they are. You're doing great work.
Poor Josie, died on her birthday 🎉😢
Thank you Robert for doing that to that Cemetery our world needs more people like you and your friends
Thanks Robert!
God bless you for all you do.
Daffodils are for rebirth, new beginnings, hope, joy and good luck.
Nice job.
Great that you care. Good job Robert!
Robert...
You are righting a terrible wrong...a disrespect by the vandals and thieves.
They will one day be caught by law enforcement and these unfeeling and totally disrespectful idiots will pay through the nose and their wallets.
Thank you for sharing this video of valuable history and the people there who helped you clean up the final resting place of these souls...may they ve remembered in a good way.❤
Respectfully,

Robert they use D2 at Arlington cemetery Are you going to need some round up???
Thank you
Miss your longer hair, Robert.
Just glad you are over the covid. Just curious did you take the covid vaccines. My daughter did and I've lost count of the times she's been sick with covid. And it's thrown her heart into a fib. She is done with vaccines she said. No ididnt take them but I've has bad reactions to flu vaccines and hep c vaccines years ago when i i i worked in helathcare so I don't take any of those. You are awesome for the work you do in this resting place. God bless you for doing this.
Nice to see that brush, You should get some gloves too!
Robert, while cleaning Isaacs grave i saw a black bear running thru the woods behind you, or was it a Blue Bear !
A Blue bear 😅
What is D.2 please.?
I can hear the residents of that cemetery saying " God bless you son for caring" Thank you Robert for all you do🙏
This channel epitomizes DO GOOD. And we are blessed by each of these wonderful shares. Thank you for caring! ❤
I know Robert and that is a very good description of the person I know.
Robert, you're a prince. Thank you for caring for these memorials to wonderful people.
Really great progress and recap. The stones look really wonderful in comparison. I really do hope that the tree thiefs are caught. Great work even when down with covid pneumonia you are true to your word in making a difference and righting a wrong. Your heart always shows. Enjoyed!! 👍👍❣️❣️
Robert uses so much D2 he should ask for a sponsorship.
If I was one of those vandals, I’d be sleeping with one eye open. Whereas, you Robert, can sleep peacefully with the blessing of those spirits.
You can't get much lower than disrespecting the dead!
You are a good man,with a warm heart.Thank you for all you are doing😊❤.
Robert, love your sense of humor. Thanks for what you're doing. God bless you.
Robert, kudos for what you do. I’m a veteran and I really liked what you were doing in that African American cemetery. I keep saying there’s no racism in this country just in some peoples minds. You get no credit for what you do. Some people should know what you’re doing out there in the world. God bless and take care my friend.
There are still racism in this country just like last year there was a white supremacy that shot and killed 10 black people up in Buffalo New York in a tops supermarket just because he did not like African American people now that's racism right there so this country still has racism in 2024.
Wrong there is still racism in this country in 2024
All the stones you cleaned are looking so great. Loved seeing the update on everyone there. It's looking so good at the moment but like you say, very nervous about how quickly the cemetery is going to get overgrown. I'm so glad you've taken it on to document it in it's current state and do the cleanup. The significance of it is so easily overlooked but it is such important work. You are an inspiration as always!
Joy, Just wanted to say it's Always Nice to see you in Robert's videos. I Really Wish you were in More of them. Take Care and Hope to see you Again Soon !!!!
Thank you for the kind words! I’m currently doing research on this cemetery so hopefully Robert will let me come back in another video soon to talk about what I’ve found out. Take care!
Have people worked with the National Park Service to nominate these cemeteries as National Register landmarks?
Great work in an abandoned cemetery. They live again because of you. 🙏
Love your videos and enjoy watching them Robert. Robert bringing out the past history
Robert, you are doing an amazing job cleaning up and documenting this cemetery.
Robert, you are doing such a wonderful thing to remember these people and to clean up the place they're in. I hope they will be able to find the people who are stealing the trees and doing other illegal activities at night, even if they don't come back. Thank you for all your tireless work.
That was a big scorpion. Nice.
I think the folks who've disrespected this place will reap what they've sewn.
Great job, Robert. And Crew!
Good man. These damn flu bugs can kill you especially if you're compromised. Y'all take care.
Robert, you will be blessed for the work that you do for these peoples resting places.
I hope some relatives of these people will see your videos. 🪦
Thank you Robert for all you do an thanks to your helpers,the mother in me is asking y'all to wear gloves especially after seeing the scorpion! Hugs
Thank you sir. I haven't been in awhile but I like to go to older cemeteries as well and say their name outloud and wonder who they were. How they lived. It's just a way to show respect I guess. I consider my own mortality and wonder if anyone will think of me in 100- 150 years. Luckily I haven't seen any vandalized yet. Thanks again.
You guys are doing an amazing job, a huge job. giving the people laid to rest there, the respect they deserve. they deserve to be remembered and rest in peace. Kate from OZ.
So cool of you to rinse the scorpion! In some African spiritual folklore they are seen as protectors of holy places! He’s protecting that grave 🦂🫶🏾
Robert, you are one classy man. I consider it an honor to be included in your following and take reflected pride watching your efforts in all of those old, abandoned slavery cemeteries. Thank you!
something good will come from your hard work due to these uncaring poaches, thank you all for what you do!!!!!
Love your channel. I learn so much. 😊 from Australia
I put d2 on my ggrfather's yesterday and you could see the moss light up and turn green.
Bless your heart, you are so kind,
I love you. That is all 😅
😅
Thanks for what you do Robert. ❤
Thank you for cleaning. It's great you have a sponsor. Historical cemetery saved by Robert.
Robert you do alot of good! Such a big project!
Go get em Robert! I commend you, and the ones who are helping you. Thank you for sharing this.
Great info. Thank you for what you do.
Robert, we need more people like you to help preserve history.
💞
Too bad the Tree Vandals, when caught, won't be made responsible to keep the undergrowth cleared out in this cemetery (and every other cemetery they have vandalized) for the rest of their living days.
Great job Robert….I hope karma gets those thieves
I didn’t know you have scorpions in Georgia. Blessings from Sweden for your good work.
Robert, you are a good man. God richly bless you. 😁
Love what you are doing. It’s like you adopted everyone there. Much respect and admiration.
Do you think that house servants would get a head stone vs say a field slave? Im curious if that was a thing back then.
You impact so many people. Living and dead!❤
Would be nice if someone had her information and had her another additional marker made yet keeping the original there in its spot.
Mr hamler died on my birthday, March 5th!
You're a good man Robert Wright. May God bless your every step. 🥰
Robert, Would the property owner let us put a fence around the cemetery?
This was another one of your great videos. You should be thanked by everyone for doing the great cleanup
Robert there are so so many good things i could write about you. Trying to keep this a little short I will say what my mother said about my grandmother her mother in law You have earned your crown in heaven. It is not something i say lightly or about many people. You truly are an example of what we all should be like. God Bless you and your efforts. I'm so glad a company sponsored you for the security cameras. I wish the D2 company would sponsor you. You use so much of their product and I'm pretty sure the cost of it is coming out of your own pocket. I love both of your channels. I have learned so much from you but also you restore my faith in humanity that there are still kind caring decent people in this world.
I think you for all the love all of you put on all of them and I'm so sorry about your cameras being stolen. God bless you 🙏❤️
If, I may. Your an amazing young man. I feel honored to come to know of you. Sincerely yours and keep up your blessed works from Richard in Canada 🇨🇦.
thank you so wonderful to see you were able to clean up this honored place and give it the honor it deserves ...
You keep going. It is great to watch.
Being African American myself I'm most greatful u are cleaning up the old slave burial ground. I'm very much into cemeteries and preserving them. Thank u so much for what u are doing. Hello from Chicago.

I hope they don't come back and I also hope if they do, they are caught. Some people just were not raised right.
Hello from Portland, Oregon. About those cameras you received and an idea. If possible, get a tall latter and install those cameras high above the cemetery and cameras would be out of reach of those sticky fingered heartless thieves. Good luck on the cemetery restoration.
Nice to see another viewer close to my home. I'm out in North Plains
Youre a good person Robert.Cant imagine why someone would vandalize a cemetery. They.will have no luck for that
I think D-2 mixed up in like a backpack sprayer would be an awesome thing for people who maintain cemeteries to have on hand for regular maintenance. Especially once they’re cleaned up real well all that would have to be done is spraying them down on a regular schedule, maybe even like twice a year and they could really last almost forever. Considering how long these have stood while being eaten away by growth and weather. That stuffs a game changer.
Robert,thank you so much for doing this. God will richly bless you.
I think when you use your hands, it’s personal, it’s like your family, it’s like God put that in you! Every time I see you using your bare hands it touches my heart!
Placing your Compassion into the Collective Consciousness is also a gift to the Collective, the whole of Our World and Universe.
You authentic thoughts, feelings, and actions, give positive value to all. 💛
I appreciate this.
📚 In the near future the greater Public will come to know, realize, and comprehend, the fact that "Our Thoughts + Feelings" are energy and energy is eternal, it has value to the whole Frequency, and that Frequency is extremely revelant to our experiences.
Our "Thoughts + Feelings X Beliefs"
= Our Individual (Frequency)
= Our (Reality) we Experience
We each are Literally Creating our own Reality.
This is defined by the "Universal Law of Attraction" and it is Absolute.

Oh don't worry, hunny! The Lord knows and for them, people who harm children and animals; and destroy holy ground...there's a special place in hell for them! You keep up the good work and God bless!
Aloha 🌺🥰
Loved this!!! By the way, that little 'scorpian'' looked like what we call ''earwigs''; in Western NC...because, my PaPaw always told me they would crawl up in your ears...,they also love damp places, like basements...like here.
Earwigs and little scorpians seem to look similar....maybe in the same family?
