Hey everybody! Thanks for watching my videos. I ask that you please subscribe and look for me on Facebook and Instagram. Just search for whittdocs. Come along and join me!
The end story with Anglen was powerfully tragic. It reminded me of a recent story where a UK woman and mother died from Covid. As they had the funeral the daughter suddenly cried out she could not breathe and collapsed. She died from a heart related condition. Stuff like that really gets to you.
Wow. That is such a tragic story. It’s so sad when that kind of stuff happens. Thanks for sharing that story. And thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
I know your videos that I've been watching are a year old, but you make them so interesting. I remember HEE HAW sad to know people who worked hard for what they have can lose their life to those EVIL PEOPLE who will kill for the GREED OF MONEY. Thank you for letting the world remember those who's lives were taken by others or lost it tragically. Your compassion is TRUE and AMAZING💜💜💜💜
I just want to thank you for being so respectful during your videos! I have always loved walking through old cemeteries, wondering about the people buried there. Look forward to seeing more of your videos!
It’s interesting to see where so many of the stars are buried and to learn a bit about their life and what caused their death. I remember when those in 1963 passed away as well as many of the others. Sad, but special memories. Thanks for sharing.
I remember watching a true crime show about Stringbean and his wife. The thieving murderers didn't find a dime to steal, but years later (if I recall correctly) the new occupants of the house noticed pieces of bills falling from the chimney where cash had been hidden. Grandpa Jones lived just a few feet from the Aikens, and Stringbean was his best friend. Their murders just ripped at his soul.
I have a list of cemeteries I wish to visit....had no idea there is a Forest Lawn in TN! The Stringbean story is just so heartbreaking....doesn't matter how many times I hear it, it just hurts. So senseless. Thank you for this! I can tell how hard you work on these, and it is clear that these are a labor of love. Seriously, thank you for keeping these legacies alive.
@@Whittdocs At the rosk of pissing people off, I must say that John Brown spent the 47 years between 1973 and 2020 bettering himself. I hope he continues honoring the Aikmans by being a good man.
It is so sad to hear about our country music stars and legends. I was a kid when Stringbean and his wife was murdered, I never knew if anyone was caught. Thankfully someone was caught. Grandpa Jones lived just across the way from Stringbean
I was born and raised in West Nashville I would so many times run into our stars I once talked with Tammy Wynette I couldn’t believe she recorded one of my songs . Nashville was a small family of neighbors and friends when one hurt we all did as the day we lost each one we all mourned ! Some of us still do !
I was 9 yrs old in 1973 and we always watched hew haw I will never forget the day it was told stringbean and his wife had been murdered. He was and is very missed thank you for your beautiful videos.
My dad told me about Stringbean and the rumors about what he did with his money(he grew up watching Hee Haw back in the 70's). Sad that he and wife were murdered and all over money too.
@queenofmeanest meanie If you watched the video here he stated they had found the killers and were delt with through the justice system, they were convicted. Reading the comments here states that one guy a person who's MURDERED a few people was given life SENTENCES but after 40 yrs in jail was given PAROLE!!😲 The other guy died in prison.
When I was in Nashville, a couple of months ago, I was on my way to this cemetery to visit these graves, but I ran out of town. I enjoyed seeing your visit. Nice job!
This video was really interesting. Hawk Shaw Hawking was from my home state of West Virginia. I was born and raised in West Virginia. Thank you so much for this video!
This was a very good video explaining the deaths of Nashville music community. When I was a little girl and the people from the airplane crash was buried there most of Nashville visited bringing flowers and I remember walking from grave to grave remembering these people. There were flowers and people everywhere. I will never forget that day. My parents and uncle are buried there now as I will someday.
Hi thank you for sharing your videos l really love your channel. It is so interesting to find out more of what happened to people who just seemed to disappear from public life. I really enjoy your explanation of what happened them.. 😊😊😊😊🐱🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Arrived here after seeing you speak to Scott on Tape. I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to viewing your videos. Thank you for sharing :)
Stringbean and his wife’s killer was released in 2014. He had 2 life sentences but somehow was granted parole. His accomplice and cousin died in prison in 2003.
Hawkshaw Hawkins was married to Jeanie Sheppard at the time who was very pregnant. She was a member of the Grand Ole Opry and I think she died in 2018. She had remarried.
Yeah. I actually visited her grave on one of my videos. I believe the one from Hendersonville. I appreciate the info. Thanks so much. I love to have input, so feel free to send anytime. Thanks!
@@deannagokey817 I didn't realize I had used Jeanie. That was a mistake on my part. Thanks for correcting me. My dad was a big fan and there would be outdoor stages and if close enough, dad would go. He went behind the stage and got a picture of her taking off her high heels. Then she posed for a really nice picture.
Very respectfully done tribute. I don’t know most of the names mentioned, as I’m only discovering country music as an adult. Sad & interesting stories.
so I have a story.. my Mom and Dad moved to central calif in late 40S EARLY 50'S.. My Mom and Dad saw Wllly and Lefty live in bars in the area and Bakersfield.. we also have pix of Buddy Owens jr playing at my in laws home.. love all of this so many great memories.. my Mom said that Willie guy is not all that LOL!
New to your channel from the Detroit Michigan area. I enjoy learning the history as well. I have shot some footage of cemetery visits as well. Yours is very nicely done.

Wonderful and respectful presentation. So sad about Stringbean's murder. I remember hearing about it. Thank you for sharing your travels with us.

Yes, you are right. This was such a sad and unnecessary event. Thank you for watching.
Excellently Done , Very respectful .
Thank you Ed. I appreciate it.
I love seeing the famous graves but I also love old cemetaries with large monuments because they are beautiful.
Thanks so much for watching. I really appreciate it.
I love the old cemeteries too 🙏 the statues and monuments are so beautiful❤️
I have a list of cemeteries I wish to visit....had no idea there is a Forest Lawn in TN!
The Stringbean story is just so heartbreaking....doesn't matter how many times I hear it, it just hurts. So senseless.
Thank you for this! I can tell how hard you work on these, and it is clear that these are a labor of love. Seriously, thank you for keeping these legacies alive.
I appreciate your kind comments. Thank you so much. And I’m glad that you enjoy.
Cavehill cemetery in Louisville Ky is beautiful and 300ac
Stringbean was literally the biggest star on heehaw, due to his 6'7" height.
I appreciate that comment. He was a great entertainer.
@@Whittdocs At the rosk of pissing people off, I must say that John Brown spent the 47 years between 1973 and 2020 bettering himself. I hope he continues honoring the Aikmans by being a good man.
Buck Owens was one of my favorites 🎼💕
Absolutely. He was great!
Thank you for kind & respectful videos 🥰
Thank you so much. I appreciate that very much.
Stringbean was my favorite ! This was a great episode,you included so many wonderfully talented stars. Thank you for the memories.

It is so sad to hear about our country music stars and legends. I was a kid when Stringbean and his wife was murdered, I never knew if anyone was caught. Thankfully someone was caught. Grandpa Jones lived just across the way from Stringbean
Yes and I remember hearing that grandpa jones may have found them? Not sure about that. But yes, very sad indeed.
Whittdocs Famous Graves and History Yes, if I remember correctly (I was only a kid), he did find them.
Thanks for sharing that. Appreciate it.

I really appreciate that. Thank you so very much.
I like seeing all the cemeteries of the 1600, 1700, and 1800s. I get eo wrapped up in trying to figure out how these people managed! WOW
I feel the exact same way.
My dad told me about Stringbean and the rumors about what he did with his money(he grew up watching Hee Haw back in the 70's). Sad that he and wife were murdered and all over money too.
Thanks so much for that story. Appreciate you watching.

Such tragic and sad stories may they all rest in peace
Stringbean and his wife’s killer was released in 2014. He had 2 life sentences but somehow was granted parole. His accomplice and cousin died in prison in 2003.
I didn’t realize. Thanks so much for sharing.
I had just read about it. Scary thought that they let out multiple murderer even if had been in there 40 years.
Amberielle T yes. It’s definitely scary. Sad
Wow, some life sentence. So sad 😞
sexysergeant123 I know. I didn’t know that until Ambrielle shared it. Very sad. And scary too. Thanks for watching.
Hawkshaw Hawkins was married to Jeanie Sheppard at the time who was very pregnant. She was a member of the Grand Ole Opry and I think she died in 2018. She had remarried.
Yeah. I actually visited her grave on one of my videos. I believe the one from Hendersonville. I appreciate the info. Thanks so much. I love to have input, so feel free to send anytime. Thanks!
Wade Isaac I know how you feel. When I worked on my family tree, I definitely made some discoveries.
Jean Sheppard was her name. She hated Jeanie. She would make that clear, just Jean.
@@deannagokey817 I didn't realize I had used Jeanie. That was a mistake on my part. Thanks for correcting me. My dad was a big fan and there would be outdoor stages and if close enough, dad would go. He went behind the stage and got a picture of her taking off her high heels. Then she posed for a really nice picture.
I'm about to cry. You need 2000k more subs for this
Thank you so much for watching!
