      Both my living daughter's love cemeteries. Not quite as much as I do, but they'd go with me. My youngest will pick wildflowers and place them on Graves with lambs or Graves we know were children. ( I want to camp in our small family cemetery, but she wouldn't ) She like the mysteries of finding certain Graves and putting them on find a grave. My girls are 22 and 32.

    I just want to thank you for teaching me the history that surrounds me now . I love history and come from Boston Massachusetts and have grown up learning all the History and visiting all the historical places. From the Pilgrims , Indains to the witch trails . Am now much older and was in search of a safe environment in today's horrific world. I traveled when I was younger and went through Kentucky into West Virginia. At 23 year's old I was astounded by the beauty and the welcoming people who lived here. Ive always had a big spot in my heart for this God Given beautiful state . Am back and here to stay but in this process like to know the history of what this beautiful state has to learn about the people before me . Thank You for your Historical lessons and your wonderful stories. Leo & Heather your videos mean the world to me . Love a Nana from a different world who appreciates all of my surroundings. ❤❤❤

    I appreciate this as a historian and family record keeper. But, your comment about stepping on graves is important. My parents were from the Ozarks and we were told never to step on a grave it causes bad luck, you could fall through, and do not disrespect the dead. I am that way now and taught this to my children.

    Another nice video, ya'll.
    Interesting story, and I think you're correct. Many old murders were covered up by calling the hunting accidents, or just not enough investigation into suspicious situations.
    I want to take issue with Leo on one point, the grave is not your final spot. Your final soft will be Heaven or Hell. I will agree that this will be your final worldly resting spot.
    I've caught myself before, standing in a graveyard looking at stones, reading names and dates, and start wondering what it would be like to talk to these folks again for a bit. My grandmother always said there was more stories in a graveyard than you could read in a lifetime.
    I want to say thank you to ya'll, for all the research , both in the leg work side and the digging records side. I know both can be equally exhausting and frustrating.
    God bless ya'll and stay safe on your travels to these destinations.
    We all would hate for ya'll to become a part of history. 😊❤😊

    Dan's dad only lived less than 5 years after Dan's murder. Broken hearted. Did Dan's widow suspect who killed her husband? After all he was in a 'hunting party'. The others had to know who murdered Dan.
