    I adore your channel. You get so much information, and you are so respectful! Thank you so much. I agree with you. That cemetery is lovely. To me, it's fitting that we eventually just blend into the natural beauty.

    Great video but I am missing something here. I understand that going up all those steps would not be easy but I like watching you go up a narrow path with briars and weeds Seriously I do appreciate your videos and I love your hard work. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more videos. Thanks for sharing.

    Beautiful cemetery. Someone is doing a great job in taking care of it. Perhaps one day, some of the surrounding woods on the edge can be cleared away, to gain access to some of the graves there. Someone else here raised this question, and I am wondering as well; Why are the graves laid out in such a haphazard manner, and not in a row? It is great that some research has been done there, to identify several of the African-American people buried there. I was very happy to see that sign as well. Thank you very much Leo and Heather, for another great walking tour. Have a great day. 😊

    Can you imagine the heartbreak of digging a hole, depositing your loved one and have no sentiment left behind to mark it? 💔

      I'm guessing wooden crosses were common and those degrade into the Earth after a decade or so. Or graves marked with small metal name plates that get pulled out of the ground and lost.

      Sad that they didn't even record it in their family Bibles.. my family has some listed with name of cemetery and even plot numbers. At least it's something. But again so many didn't even get the opportunity to learn to read or write back then .heck my own father in law didn't get to learn to read or write cause he had to help family on the family farms

    Thank ya'll for another great video. I know it's got to be frustrating for ya'll to find a name and not be able to find any story on them.
    It still bugs me of the thousands all over the country, buried that no one knows about.
    People died in the Indian wars, war between England and the States, the Civil War, the settlers in wagon trains. All those people that there is no record of. No one knows, only God.
    Anyway, ya'll did another great job. Leo, good that you quit smoking, with all the billy goat action you do.
    God bless ya'll for what you do and all that you try and do.
    Ya'll have a blessed and happy year ahead. Stay safe, I want to see ya'lls videos for a long time. 👍 👍

    It’s been a minute since I’ve had a chance to watch your channel. As always it wasn’t pleasure. Amazing to have so many veterans from different wars in one cemetery. Unfortunately that hadn’t thought of vaults to protect the casket/coffins back then that wound have prevented the dips.

    Question: Have y'all done a video at the "Forbidden Cemetery" where Randall's other children are buried? The one that's close to the cabin massacre.I know it's posted that it is off limits, but I wasn't sure if y'all had done a video there or not.

    21:45…..Student Army Training Corps. The WWI predecessor to college ROTC. They were assigned to several hundred colleges across the US to provide military training to male college students and to provide a pool of partially trained officer candidates ready to be drafted upon graduation. I believe the program was mandatory at the colleges they were present at and I don’t believe they received any stipends or scholarships like current college ROTC get now.

    One of my Great Grandmothers was married to a man she called "Mr. Justice Honey" Every one else called him "Mr. Justice" I never knew his real name. I often wonder if there is a connection every time you show that last name.

    Ahh For true Christians we know its not about where were buried or how our grave stone is! Its views talked walked lived our lives accordingly to gods will! My favorite songs says...I don't need my name in neon lights for I'm already famous in my heavenly fathers eyes! Besides when a believer takes their last breath there skirt goes straight to be with God n our lord.....That's what's truly important and why we are here to begin with to know God and the lord!
