Dont apologize. People can be such idiots!! It made my boil too when you said the little girls doll house was robbed. Had to have been kids who's parents didnt take the time to teach them anything about respect and compassion. Pretty self explanatory if you ask me. The world today is so sad. Smdh
I just found you on here. Some of those gravestones are beyond beautiful you have so much respect for the families I'm glad I stopped in I have now subscribed and I'm off to look for more videos of yours.
Yes, I will. Somebody was driving in the cemetery and I kind of rushed through that but yeah I know what you’re saying will do. I know I said 1994 instead of 1894 thank you for watching
Thank you for watching. Glad you found my channel. I actually have a premiere of my new video tonight at six and check out my other stuff. Also have a great memorial day.
Discover the fascinating story of James "Doc" McGruder - an escaped slave from Kentucky who became a Union soldier as well as a beloved animal healer and successful jockey in Blackberry Village (now Elburn, IL). McGruder earned respect for healing farm animals, children's pets and even a crippled child - leaving an impact on his adopted community that transcended racial and cultural attitudes of the time. His grave in Blackberry Cemetery is marked by two headstones, including one purchased by the many children he befriended. Presented by Donna Blackenship, local historian and former Kaneland school district fifth grade teacher. Birthdate unknown - Died July 18, 1894
Thank you so much for that information. Very interesting story I will revisit that grave soon now that I have that information I can do a better job, I was just going by what I saw on the stone at the time
Interesting, but you need to be more careful reading dates. At least twice you said 1838 when stone said 1888. You also skipped reading one child's name completely when showing a family monument. Just slow down & read to yourself before out loud, maybe. I had to go back & make sure I was seeing things right.
FU UA-cam CENSORS excellent content 👍 Talk about strange happenings in the cemetery. I worked for telecommunications company and when Verizon was pulling out all the copper lines I had three customers who had live phones INSIDE the mausoleums insisted on paying for fiber so that they would be a live phone inside the mausoleum. At a cost of over $3,000 per install. None of them would actually come up with a reason why they insisted that 🙄
Through an online obituary for Rebecca Jean Sparks it says she died from a one car accident. At the time she was a research chemist for Miles Laboratory and died two weeks before she was to receive her Master’s Degree. All the dates, names and location match this monument but in the obituary she has the married last name of Farmwald (shows Rebecca Jean Sparks Farmwald) though no mention of a husband at the time of death. Unfortunately, there was no information about the little doggie pictured who looks so sweet and must have been cherished to be part of the monument. She was survived by her parents, two brothers, some Grandparents and additional extended family members at the time of her passing. Thank you for sharing these wonderful monuments and statuary. Please forgive me if I’ve incorrectly attributed the information to this monument. I tried to cross reference the information. If anyone has different information I would welcome knowing that.
Maybe those people with the train 🚂 and picture of a train were involved in the train industry - engineer, etc. My son’s grandfather on his dad’s side had something to do with trains, but I can’t remember exactly what it was he did.
You even said that David trawler died in 1922. He died ! 2022.if he was born in 1966 his death in 1922 wouldn’t work. But all good I just found your site and so far love your content. I was born October 31st 1972 and absolutely love cemeteries and hearses and caskets. Mortuaries Love it all
In Nelson County KY there is a Thomas Nelson HighSchool. I an Chrome as to we're this grave yard is. I don't think it is the Prostant/Catholic one in Bardstown, is it? Also the Magurtor name is in Nelson & BullittCounties.
This spooky but what a great ideal it is kinda cool though well this way they don't need security at he cemetery, How big is the monument to fit the man?
I work in Batavia, drive past that cemetery every day on my way home. Didn't know he was there until I drove through. Interesting what's hidden in these cemeteries. Thank you for watching
Tombstone, headstone, or gravestone are all proper terms to describe where someone is buried. Go ahead and Google that I’m correct. All caskets and coffins are made of wood. The difference between them is a coffin has six sides. A casket has four you can buy a coffin that’s made of metal but most are made of wood.
That is the coolest tomb ever! I love the things you find. Thanks so much for showing the rest of us. ❤😊
I just found your channel. Very interesting cemetery. Just relax and take your time. You’ll get better each time.
Great video! Thanks for taking us along.

You're reading a few of the years wrong. Take your time.
Yes, I will. Somebody was driving in the cemetery and I kind of rushed through that but yeah I know what you’re saying will do. I know I said 1994 instead of 1894 thank you for watching

Thanks for the info❤️
Zinc tombstones hold up very well!
This is my first time seeing this! This cemetery is Awesome! RIP everyone buried there!
Lovely place❤ I didn't notice the wind until you said something😊 I have never seen a metal one that big❤ Take care❤
The metal ones are called Zinkers and were sold by traveling salesmen as an affordable alternative to stone. They were sold until about 1914 or so.
Thank you, Learn something everyday
I'm a new subscriber.I think you did awesome job.Looking forward for more. Stay safe out there.

The Adkins head stone probably has an picture taken from an airplane & it was somehow put on the headstone. It's amazing that they can do that.
Video was well done. Th😊anks very interesting 😊
Thank you! 😃

Will do, yeah I kind of rushed through this one so I agree. I didn’t think it was going to get this much attention lol thanks for watching.

If there loved one comes back to life they can call. But they would have to figure out how to get out of a sealed coffin. Yes very strange
Those are some very nice headstones
New subscribe 👋 watching from the Fiji island 🇫🇯

That statue was so lifelike

thank you for looking that up.
That's wild, creative
Location is important
Pretty cool
Britt was his son and Rudolph and Louise were his parents
Wow!!!
Maybe those people with the train 🚂 and picture of a train were involved in the train industry - engineer, etc. My son’s grandfather on his dad’s side had something to do with trains, but I can’t remember exactly what it was he did.
I have seen this man before when my grandfather and my grandmother and my grandfather's mother passed away they are buried at their also the Bateman's
you would poop if you got a knock back ! LOL
That was her sister and brother in law on one side. He is entombed next his parents.
Thank you so much for that info, I was wondering
You even said that David trawler died in 1922. He died ! 2022.if he was born in 1966 his death in 1922 wouldn’t work. But all good I just found your site and so far love your content. I was born October 31st 1972 and absolutely love cemeteries and hearses and caskets. Mortuaries Love it all
Going too fast, wasn't watching what I was saying that day
In Nelson County KY there is a Thomas Nelson HighSchool. I an Chrome as to we're this grave yard is. I don't think it is the Prostant/Catholic one in Bardstown, is it? Also the Magurtor name is in Nelson & BullittCounties.
The cemetery that stone was in is in central Indiana, But who knows it could be the same guy
Veru interesting im in the uk beautiful place there
Yes, it is. Thank you very much for watching.
This spooky but what a great ideal it is kinda cool though well this way they don't need security at he cemetery, How big is the monument to fit the man?
It looks to be 6'3"
very cool cemetery... But you need to slow down you sure mis read many names and dates...
I notice the scrolls on the side of the Nelson marker. There is a Bible named the Thomas Nelson Bible...I wonder...
Funny you said that was wondering the same. Tried finding an answer and nothing
its awesome you can gaze into his eyes the clothes and him look so REAL you could shake hands its in kane county batavia
I work in Batavia, drive past that cemetery every day on my way home. Didn't know he was there until I drove through. Interesting what's hidden in these cemeteries. Thank you for watching
What state is this in?
Illinois Elburn, Illinois
i noticed Janice Doll died the day before her birthday
If a cemetery can be cozy that place is. I bet he picked that out years before he died,
The medal markers are made of zinc.
A Zinker (company name than made the zinc tombstones) are not seen often anymore though they are usually in excellent shape.
That one year wasn’t 1922 it was 2022..
Yes I was rushing, so need to slow down when reading. I don't mind criticism. Don't like mean criticism thank you for watching
Betty Weston was his sister
Thank you I was really wondering about that
#graveyard index?
Spent a fortune on that
Britt is a female name.
Not always
huh?
The proper term is headstone not tombstone. Like calling a casket a coffin. Coffin is a wood box. Get the point?
Tombstone, headstone, or gravestone are all proper terms to describe where someone is buried. Go ahead and Google that I’m correct. All caskets and coffins are made of wood.
