Maude’s little hands I miss them so, All through the day wherever I go, All through the night how lonely it seems, For no little hands wake me out of my dreams. I miss them all through the weary hours, I miss them as others do sunshine and flowers. Daytime or nighttime, wherever I go, Maudes little hands I miss them so.

When I go to cemeteries to clean relatives' graves, I sometimes wander around and pull back the growth on long forgotten ones and clean them up a bit and literally say the person's name, wondering how long it's been since their name was actually spoken out loud on Earth.
I know. Imagine how he stops vandals. I guess their bodies are never found. There's a columnbarium in Alabama that I frequent that is guarded by wasps, black widows and scorpions. And me and the landowners thrive on it. Not every event can be caught on camera. We get extra security. They get a safe place to live.
In eauropean cultures a black dog or a dog knows as a grave yard dog was said to be a omen that you or a loved one was soon to pass and the dog is a spirit who helps the restless souls after being buried and gives them company while they make their jeourny to the other side
I thought the samething,There is a movie about witch who was buried under rocks an a tree,storm came an split the tree in turn releasing the witch once more
You, know half of the people they called witches, they were midwives and knew about medicinal herbs, and some were very well off, financially, A , lot of men saw that and did not like it, So they made up some story that she was a witch , in order to get their land.
A witch's path revolves around NATURE. They are not evil as the Christians protray us. It doesn't surprise me that a tree is growing where she lays. The connection between the craft & nature is unbreakable. Bless her soul. So mote it be.
Someone loved Maude dearly. A grave that is a tree trunk that has been cut at the top is symbolic of a life cut short. at 14 years old (dying and probably being buried near her 15th birthday), I'm sure it was a very grievous blow to the family.
Quite common for that type of marker to be used for high ranking members of "Woodmen of the World" also. An old cemetery near me that was recovered had a large number of those.
Hawthorne is a tree used in preventing witchcraft as well as used for magical purposes in England and Scotland. Makes sense it would be planted on a grave of someone suspected of practicing witchcraft.
Beautiful cemetary, loved seeing the furry little guardian 🐾💛 & as for the alleged " witch " she was a human being above all and deserves to be honored as such . Thank you so much for ur adventures and respect for the dead truly appreciated
Such a beautiful place. As a mum, Maudes' epitaph made me cry. That dog was adorable. Really hope you can come back to this one. Thank you from Australia. Stay safe please!
☺️ I finished this video before I realized I’m sitting in the parking lot of a cemetery while I’m watching this. I often come here to enjoy some peace away from the stresses of life.
Maude must have benn so loved... R.I.P. to her, and to whoever held her dear enough to write such kind words. Thank you for sharing your spoils of your explorations. Cemetaries and graveyards are so human, and so easy to overlook.
Another beautiful and peaceful cemetery. The dog is like the caretaker, he’s just making sure everything is ok. Love it when you find out stories that go with the cemeteries you visit. As always, look forward to the next one. Xx
They just don't make grave markers like they used to..I absolutely love the epitaphs on them. Little Maude's is beautiful but very sad...it makes me wonder what happened to her. Another beautiful adventure. ❤
Thanks for your kindness toward the dog. You have an on looker always. Also I have gone to cemeteries to visit friends and family and I do clean the site and pick up trash. God Bless and continue safe travels
Much enjoyed and little Maude's poem on her marker. So many children died back in the day! I've seen Mother and Father markers with a row of five or six small stones of their children. Thank You Kindly for sharing your journeys into our ancestors and our history! Love, Light, Peace, Health and Safe Journeys! DaveyJO in Pa.
Thank you for the woodman's stone with carvings. I saw one up in around Oneida, NY years ago. The date on the tomb was born 1750 death 1825, and other old tomb stones with chiseled markings on them dating back to the mid 1700's. The family generations from way back fought in the Indian Wars before the 13 Colonies were ever born. Their family is English stock and now mixed with American. Am proud of this family because they still have a large family and keeping up with the traditions of their forefather's. Am still proud now, cause I just spoke to one of the great great great great great grandchildren of this family. I love history, and they had plenty of it. Sidestep, you do a wonderful work by looking into these old cemeteries. One day, they will all be emptied. Cause the Lord, promised he would bring them all back on earth once the earth has been cleansed from all wickedness and plagues. And his Kingdom (or government) will rule from Heaven over the earth! What a blessing that will be to see these first pioneers of this new land.
"Maude's Little Hands" reminded me of the song "Grandma's Hands" by Bill Withers who died a week ago today. His song is covered by many artists. You can hear his song on TH-cam. Here, I never thought of hands in the remembrance of one so young. Art has such beauty and range. Bravo!
Charlie Shellhouse was just 22 years old. He worked as a logger and was killed when a log fell on him while he was unloading the truck. He was the oldest of four sons.
Love seeing your videos. I miss my Georgia home. That Church and cemetery looks like the one my Dad and his family is are buried at. They are around Berlin . There are two Cemeteries about five miles apart that our family is laid to rest at.
The dog was a lovely distraction from this lovely place :) would like to know more of the folklore of the witches story Thankyou for a lovely vid again
Me too, but I bet she had some what of a since of what was to come , ole folks didn’t like that , I don’t remember how old he was. , but my grandfather did . The people use to make accusations about him .
Great video Robert. Had everything , a friendly dog, a witch and cool history of time past. Maude died 11 days before her 15th bday. Beautiful epithet.Thanks for video.
Awww such a friendly trusting doggy 🐶 we all need doggy love right now to help lessen the stress. So many little ones there also and Maudes inscription made me tear up for the parent who wrote that.
I love walking through old cemeteries. I visited a very old cemetery outside Sharon Springs, KS a few years back. It's full of old pioneers and civil war volunteers, during that time period.
That’s our family’s church, the grave with cover wanted to be buried in the shade is the story we were always told. Shellhouse, Hilton, and Rigsby are our families, probably others.
Such interesting surnames. The British meaning of Lew is a place of shelter. So there's a Buckhouse, a Shellhouse, and Hilton is like a great big house and a Rig is a horse-drawn wheeled vehicle for carrying passengers to the various houses. Sounds like a fun community.
Near where I live there is a baby's grave made and carved from marble!! So beautiful!!! It's a baby's bed and there's an indent in the pillow,. and the blanket is turned back! No writing use your imagination!!!!!!
Hello Robert, I went visiting cemeteries last week and I picked up and straightened up tombstones that had fallen down. I have one more to fix it is a very tall monument that has fallen off the base I'm going to level up the base and take a tripod and block and tackle to lift it up.. gonna be hard to do buddy
My Father always said respect the dead. For whatever you do to them that shall be done to you. Although our soul & spirit departs from our body the memorial of your existence is undeniable for you once lived but now lay with the expired.
He was a sweet doggy . He was loving the attention . Those were some old graves for sure . It's sad to see them falling apart , but you can tell that they were once beautiful headstones and markers . The witch grave was spooky . It looked like some of the rocks were burned . I remember there used to be an old tell about a woman in Hall county Ga. and people said she was a witch . This reminded me of that . Some people would go to her for "medicines " and to have their fortunes told . I knew a woman that wanted a baby so much , so she went to visit the witch . The witch told the woman that she would go on a trip and she told her some different things to do while on this trip with her husband . So the woman did what the witch told her to do and sure enough the woman and her husband finally got pregnant and had a little girl . I don't remember all of the things she said she had to do while on the trip , but I do know that while they were on their trip they did get pregnant . lol !! I don't really believe it all that witch stuff , but I do believe in old timey remedies for medicines . I think that God put things on this earth to help us no doubt . I believe those things got handed down from generations to generations and if a old woman was using these remedies.... they were accused of being witches. Some might really have been practicing evil things and those are the scary ones that I .....for one don't care to fool with . Yikes !! I'll stick with God's word . 👍😊🙏 Thanks for sharing your video !! Take care and God bless . Hope you and your family have a Happy Easter !!
I thought some of the rocks looked burned too, so maybe it wasn't a grave at all. Maybe it was a chimney that got knocked down. Could've been from the 1st church on the site, maybe.
A beautiful graveyard. Some beautiful headstones. Some beautiful words. A beautiful day and a beautiful German Shepherd. Simply beautiful 🌿🌹🌿 I have never seen a grave like the Witch's grave. I have to say though, its beautiful in its own way. 🌿🌹🌿
I very much enjoyed this episode. I love and look forward to all your postings. It's so obvious how much your care about your local history and preserving the past for future generations. I am always amazed by the famous Red Georgia earth we see as you forage out these cemetery plots and homesteads long forgotten. I along with many are fascinated with the Early American and Civil War history that Georgia has. I loved the Dog in this episode. Large like a wolf in comparison to the lady pictured with him. Collies and German Shepards are large like that and sweet like this one was. Thank you, for keeping us entertained and educated during these Isolation Days.
You do travel to some of the coolest places. Thank you for doing this, I find it welcoming distraction from what is going on around the world. Thanks again
Greetings fellow cemetery/genealogy nerds! Love these videos...and loved seeing the sweet pupper who came to visit. If anyone is interested, there's a book I'd like to recommend titled "Your Guide to Cemetery Research" by Sharon DeBartolo Carmack. It has helpful information for genealogists AND people who love to visit cemeteries. Happy Easter!
I thought the same thing. It might have been just a small group of people that thought she was a witch and placed the stones after she was buried. Poor woman was probably a widow that lived alone.
I thought it might have been a chimney from an old building that got knocked down and was never hauled off. It's weird that there'd only be one like that, and you're right that they probably wouldn't have buried a witch on church grounds. (He did say there was a church, right?)
I think you're right. My understanding is that the church would not allow for witches or other heretics to be buried in a churchyard (graveyard). That's why we have cemeteries.
What's better than a dog? Sitting in a lawn chair near the cemetery with a cooler full of beer hanging out with the dog and waiting for a witch to come out of that grave and scare the shit out of someone standing by her grave. Then have the dog look at ya with that "I told you so" look. LOL
That is a beautiful cemetery. Those headstones are amazing esp the poem. The story behind the field stone grave is interesting. What a cool dog. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
I would love to see this one again seems there could be many stories there ! As for the witch I'm sure they thought she was but many were just healers that ppl were afraid of it's ashame because ppl nkiw are going back to the natural medicines these ppl made an d many are making their own God Bless Be Safe Love d that dog ! 🐾🐕💖🙏😇✝️🐇❤️🇺🇸
Definitely one of my favorite videos you've done! The stonework is amazing. I'd love to hear your friends family history here. The folklore is very cool.
The headstone for Maude was pretty sad. She was only 15 years old when she died. It would be interesting who is buried under that pile of rocks. That she was a witch might just be a tale that cropped up over the years. There might be some public records about who it is. It's pity there's no headstone. It could be that it was someone who had no family and was too poor to afford a headstone. At the very least, she was a human being.
Aww, what a beautiful dog! That "not so bright" grave looks dangerous. I wonder if Maude's grave was designed to hold water? It definitely would've looked so elegant when it was erected. Very sad if that is a grave of a suspected witch. Hopefully at peace.
Love your videos, I live in Savannah ga and there are a lot of graves here with tree stump or tree cravings in marble... if it a short stump it means that person lived a short life, medium height means life a was cut short and tall means full life...keep up great work!!!
What a very nice dog. That was a very nice cemetery, interesting headstones. Never saw ones that look like trees. I don't think that person was a witch, the town would not have buried here in thier cemetery if that what they really thought. Nice video Robert, Thanks
you said it's an old church graveyard that means connected ground they would never barry a witch in the connected ground. The witch's grave looks like an older style grave, not from someone wanting to keep a witch down you got to think about this all the other graves have a large slab over the top what to prevent that from happing what your showing,me mean's is the water table is high so to prevent the coffin or as what is called today the casket from coming up from the ground they would place a heavy stone on top they would do that also to prevent animals from getting into the grave for food that is what that is about. Also you, Robert, I hope y'all a great day and to your family have a great and healthy easter Peace Out
I love stories, like that makes you think, who, what why,and where, but never to know, so fascinating to me and so peaceful there as well and beautiful. Great video Robert!

Maude’s little hands I miss them so,
All through the day wherever I go,
All through the night how lonely it seems,
For no little hands wake me out of my dreams.
I miss them all through the weary hours,
I miss them as others do sunshine and flowers.
Daytime or nighttime, wherever I go,
Maudes little hands I miss them so.

When I go to cemeteries to clean relatives' graves, I sometimes wander around and pull back the growth on long forgotten ones and clean them up a bit and literally say the person's name, wondering how long it's been since their name was actually spoken out loud on Earth.
Me too
I go to the cemeteries by me at least 3 times a week and clean them up and pick up knocked over headstones
Me too!
I do this to! So glad it’s not just me that cares! ❤️
I do the same sometimes. I wonder when the last time a family member, or a friend came along to visit their grave
A friendly dog to welcome you is awesome. Feels as though he keeps the departed company.
I know. Imagine how he stops vandals. I guess their bodies are never found. There's a columnbarium in Alabama that I frequent that is guarded by wasps, black widows and scorpions. And me and the landowners thrive on it. Not every event can be caught on camera. We get extra security. They get a safe place to live.

He likes the cemetery cause he knows there are bones buried everywhere..😂
Animals can tell the heart from the git. That dog is loving and probably brings loving energy to some restless spirits
Jno ot JNO is an abbreviation for John just as Jas is for James.
About the "witch", she's getting the last laugh because she's rising from her grave as a newly formed tree. 😝 Take that, old superstitions!
I was thinking the same thing she has come back as that tree
I thought the samething,There is a movie about witch who was buried under rocks an a tree,storm came an split the tree in turn releasing the witch once more
Actually Amish and Quakers believe planting a tree on a cursed person grave will trap their soul as long as the tree doesn't die.
You, know half of the people they called witches, they were midwives and knew about medicinal herbs, and some were very well off, financially, A , lot of men saw that and did not like it, So they made up some story that she was a witch , in order to get their land.

I never heard of that . Thanks for sharing that with us .

@@donniebrown2896 I believe this one is different, though. Not all tree stump markers are Woodsmen of the World markers.
I love the poem. Those were beautiful words from the heart of a grieving mama.
I think that beautiful loving dog is the Keeper of the Garden of Stones. Great video!
What a gorgeous dog.
The tree growing out from the rocks is Hawthorne wich is known as the Witches Tree ! xx
The more you know
Hawthorne is a tree used in preventing witchcraft as well as used for magical purposes in England and Scotland. Makes sense it would be planted on a grave of someone suspected of practicing witchcraft.
Maybe records in the church ❓❓🤔🤷♀️🤷♀️🇦🇺

aaaw that doggy is so cute .
He seemed lonely and was looking for some affection.
It felt good to see you holding him and showing him some love.
You had me with the dog. Love dogs.
They just don't make grave markers like they used to..I absolutely love the epitaphs on them. Little Maude's is beautiful but very sad...it makes me wonder what happened to her. Another beautiful adventure. ❤
Makes me wonder if she died from an farm accident, illness or animal attack!!! So many ways death could manifest itself in those days!!!
What a sweet friendly pup❤
Thanks for your kindness toward the dog. You have an on looker always. Also I have gone to cemeteries to visit friends and family and I do clean the site and pick up trash. God Bless and continue safe travels

Woodsmen was founded in 1890 so there is some confusion there
Oh where is this located?! I live near oneida
Robert, Thank you for the video. Those of us who have lost a child can relate and cry when you read Maude’s epitaph
Am sorry for your lost 😥💖
Such a peaceful place. Beautiful bird songs
Thank you from one taphophile to another for keeping the memory of these people alive.

Love the dog :) I remember the last Woodman monument you showed, striking. Also really nice to see an old cemetary so well looked after. Thanks.
That doggy is very well taken care of! His coat is so clean and tangle free. Hard to do with a long haired dog in the spring!!!
The dog was a lovely distraction from this lovely place :) would like to know more of the folklore of the witches story Thankyou for a lovely vid again
Me too, but I bet she had some what of a since of what was to come , ole folks didn’t like that , I don’t remember how old he was. , but my grandfather did . The people use to make accusations about him .
I loved the peacefulness of this scene. Hearing the birds and insects in the background brought back so many memories!
Great video Robert. Had everything , a friendly dog, a witch and cool history of time past. Maude died 11 days before her 15th bday. Beautiful epithet.Thanks for video.
I've always enjoyed walking through cemeteries looking for the oldest graves and often wondered about their lives.
I lost my little girl last year, Maude's mother wrote those words. Nothing worse than lossing your child
I'm so very sorry for your loss.
So sorry ! I lost my husband right yrs ago but only thing worse is to lose a child I'm sure. GOD BLESS YOU!
8 yrs is what I tried to say

I love walking through old cemeteries. I visited a very old cemetery outside Sharon Springs, KS a few years back. It's full of old pioneers and civil war volunteers, during that time period.
No way I'd walk through that's disrespect to the deceased don't mess with stuff if you don't have knowledge
Thank you so much for posting these videos. They are so interesting and informative.

This is a lovely, beautifully-tended cemetery. Family and early church cemeteries are fascinating.
Bless your family for allowing us to see it! Your family takes amazing care of the Lost. Amazing.
Do you know the story of the pile of stones? Will you share it with us?

Beautiful old cemetery. Interesting stones. Love the epitaphs.
Hello Robert, I went visiting cemeteries last week and I picked up and straightened up tombstones that had fallen down. I have one more to fix it is a very tall monument that has fallen off the base I'm going to level up the base and take a tripod and block and tackle to lift it up.. gonna be hard to do buddy
Thank you for doing that. I wish more people respected cemeteries like you do.

Midwives were considered Witches ☠🤔
Finally a Christian that isn't thrashing on witches. You can believe what you want on if their real or not. Witch or not we're all human.
A beautiful graveyard. Some beautiful headstones. Some beautiful words. A beautiful day and a beautiful German Shepherd. Simply beautiful 🌿🌹🌿 I have never seen a grave like the Witch's grave. I have to say though, its beautiful in its own way. 🌿🌹🌿
The 🐕in the vid was so cute.
The Dog was awesome. Surely was friendly. What a pleasant treat to have a friend visit in the cemetery. LOL
Beautiful views some great "post card" moments shown. I think the dog was happy to have some human interaction lol
What could be better than a four legged tour guide. What a gentle spirit he is. I only hope if there’s an afterlife I’m with the dogs.
Very Interesting love history tons of good Wonderful stories

That was magnificent...thank you for sharing with us. Such things are important in life...especially so in these troubled times.
Pretty sure if she was considered a Witch, she wouldn't be buried in consecrated ground. but I am no expert . Cool vid.
I thought the same thing. It might have been just a small group of people that thought she was a witch and placed the stones after she was buried. Poor woman was probably a widow that lived alone.
I thought it might have been a chimney from an old building that got knocked down and was never hauled off. It's weird that there'd only be one like that, and you're right that they probably wouldn't have buried a witch on church grounds. (He did say there was a church, right?)
She could have been a "granny" . celtic druid, like granny on the Beverly Hillbillies. They where highly revered and would be buried in a cemetery.
She might be buried just outside the consecrated boundary.
I think you're right. My understanding is that the church would not allow for witches or other heretics to be buried in a churchyard (graveyard). That's why we have cemeteries.
The sweet dog was a great bonus!
I love this Videos and Whats better then a Dog he or she is Beautyfull
Cool dog
What's better than a dog? Sitting in a lawn chair near the cemetery with a cooler full of beer hanging out with the dog and waiting for a witch to come out of that grave and scare the shit out of someone standing by her grave. Then have the dog look at ya with that "I told you so" look. LOL
I love your videos... You seem like a kind, honest and gentle person
Hey, Jno is the English abbreviation for 'John"
I was always of the understanding that Jno. was for Jonathan.
Jno = John & Jon = Jonathan
Johannes
or Jonathan. I found Jno a lot in genealogical research of this time frame and earlier
Johannes
That is a beautiful cemetery. Those headstones are amazing esp the poem. The story behind the field stone grave is interesting. What a cool dog. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
Such an interesting cemetery. I look forward to your explorations.
This was amazing. Thank you for showing this. And all you do. Keep safe. Prayers sent. Thank you again.
I would love to see this one again seems there could be many stories there ! As for the witch I'm sure they thought she was but many were just healers that ppl were afraid of it's ashame because ppl nkiw are going back to the natural medicines these ppl made an d many are making their own God Bless Be Safe Love d that dog ! 🐾🐕💖🙏😇✝️🐇❤️🇺🇸
Definitely one of my favorite videos you've done! The stonework is amazing. I'd love to hear your friends family history here. The folklore is very cool.
"Gonna look around " - stays put and gives doggy love
What a lovely, peaceful graveyard. Thank you for the tour! And what an adorable, tour-guide puppy! He seemed very happy to see you!
You will come back to that cemetery in 20 years and that small tree growing out of the witches grave will be a substantial tree.
Love those woodmen of the world stones so beautiful, Maude is my grandmothers name beautiful little poem ❤️
The headstone for Maude was pretty sad. She was only 15 years old when she died.
It would be interesting who is buried under that pile of rocks. That she was a witch might just be a tale that cropped up over the years. There might be some public records about who it is. It's pity there's no headstone. It could be that it was someone who had no family and was too poor to afford a headstone. At the very least, she was a human being.
or.. what if all it was a pile of rocks and there is no body buried there?
@@rachelk5720 a lot of people are commenting this but there's no evidence for either
That was really interesting about witch, fantastic way to end video. Loved it all though. Thanks for taking me along. Please stay safe
Aww, what a beautiful dog!
That "not so bright" grave looks dangerous.
I wonder if Maude's grave was designed to hold water? It definitely would've looked so elegant when it was erected.
Very sad if that is a grave of a suspected witch. Hopefully at peace.
Love your videos, I live in Savannah ga and there are a lot of graves here with tree stump or tree cravings in marble... if it a short stump it means that person lived a short life, medium height means life a was cut short and tall means full life...keep up great work!!!
Great story. Love the dog.
Such a beautiful big cemetery I wish the video was longer. I really love your video’s your living my dream!
Dogs, Truely Are Mans Best Friend..Stay Safe...
What a beautiful dog ,so loving .
What a very nice dog. That was a very nice cemetery, interesting headstones. Never saw ones that look like trees. I don't think that person was a witch, the town would not have buried here in thier cemetery if that what they really thought. Nice video Robert, Thanks
Love the birds in the background, cool tombstones. Each grave has a story to tell, especially that witch’s grave. Thank you for this. ❤️ 🇵🇭
The OD was more likely Laudnum, which was basically liquid opium.
You did it again another very interesting video with a great story . Thanks for sharing.
you said it's an old church graveyard that means connected ground they would never barry a witch in the connected ground. The witch's grave looks like an older style grave, not from someone wanting to keep a witch down you got to think about this all the other graves have a large slab over the top what to prevent that from happing what your showing,me mean's is the water table is high so to prevent the coffin or as what is called today the casket from coming up from the ground they would place a heavy stone on top they would do that also to prevent animals from getting into the grave for food that is what that is about. Also you, Robert, I hope y'all a great day and to your family have a great and healthy easter Peace Out
Beautiful video and a really good n boy (or girl) 🐕. Enjoyed the story of the witch’s grave
This is very interesting this makes the second grave I've seen that was made with field stones and a very interesting story to go with it.
I love stories, like that makes you think, who, what why,and where, but never to know, so fascinating to me and so peaceful there as well and beautiful. Great video Robert!
