I'm touched by the care and craftsmanship that honors the deceased.
I love what you do! Thank you for caring! ❤
Yes thank you
Thank you & Happy Easter
My late husband's grave site needs help.
We bury people a little differently here, but perhaps some of your techniques will help.
My great grandfather's brother disappeared after the Civil War in Texas during the yellow fever epidemic. It is thought he dropped dead on the street and was buried in a mass grave somewhere.
How very sad for his family to have him simply disappear in that way.
Something like that affects a family for the rest of its generations, even when people aren't aware of it. Your great-grandfather no doubt suffered from deep grief and sorrow, without being able to mourn properly through the funeral rites. The sadness is then passed on through the generations, usually made worse when the survivor doesn't ever talk about what happened, so the succeeding generation doesn't understand what caused the sorrow. I hope your family has peace.
We love your channel and admire the kindness you show people who you do not know. As we travel the world we visit cemeteries and are interested in how people honor their loved ones who've passed. We love genealogy and visiting the cemeteries where are family's rest. Thank you for the work you do! Would love to catch up one day and help you! John & Bev
I love what you do. My wish is that we have more people like you to honor the person who is buried there. The hard work you put into it. Blessings to you. The back story is a plus. Thank you 😊
This is so nice to see such a kind hard working person who cares of others from the past....Blessings to you ....
I learned something new today, as I had no idea that Tennessee ever had yellow fever epidemics. Thank you for a great video and Happy Easter to you.
There was an Irish priest named Father Ryan (that's his surname) who was sent to Tennessee in the early-middle 1800s. They didn't know at the time what caused yellow fever, only that you could escape that plague by going somewhere with a different climate. Or at least, that's what people believed. So while all who could escape left the area, Father Ryan stayed behind to nurse and minister to the sick and dying. He, too, caught the disease, and died. He gave his life to serve the suffering. I found out about him when I was looking up the history of my grandson's name, just out of curiosity, because I didn't recall ever hearing of any historic figure named Ryan as a given name. At the time Father Ryan lived, it wasn't yet popular to give the name Ryan as a first name. But I learned some interesting and tragic history through my search.
You not only rejuvenate a grave marker, but you also bring the deceased into a revered spotlight, lest we forget.
You are a blessing and you can have great assistants who help you at times. Like the ond time you and this gal cleaned a lovely angel! Thank you for your goòd hearts God bless you both! Happy Holiday!
What an amazing work you do! I respect the caring and appreciation you put into this. Especially love that you tell their stories, I am sure that's not easy to track down. Thank you

safe travels, Andrea. I hope life has been good to you up to this point ❤
I hope you read this & I hope you've accepted Jesus as your Savior. I'd like to meet you on the other side. 💖
Be blessed
It's a pleasure to watch you, and your videos are very inspirational 😊😊
I lost my great great grandmother in the 1878 yellow fever epidemic in Tennesse as well as other relatives.
What a beautiful headstone! Thank you, Wade, for doing all you do and for caring for these memorials of people long gone now, but who once mattered very much to those left behind. Happy Easter. 🐇🪦✝️🪦🐇
Such an inspiration! I'll be starting my cleaning in May!
You are an amazing man. Your work is greatly appreciated by the families of these individuals that you make their families final resting places better. Thank you for doing this and sharing with us.
My one of 20 regrets ( I have counted my blessings also) is have not found this hobby faster in young life. Its a great cause. Years ago agreements for clean ups were for real small fees ( i know u know this info best, so ill leave that to you to upddate more accurate than my General explanation. But thank you for the upcoming content!
Another good one. Thank you for this work!
Beautiful job
Awesome, 💯 just enjoy your videos....shared on FB....ty
I need to straighten my father's VA footstone. Should it be even or above ground level?
Look back/watch through some videos within, maybe, the last 6 months. I remember his restoring the stone of a vet that had sunk significantly. If memory serves, I believe he said that many have sunk to be level with the ground, but that they should stand proud a bit. If you find that episode, you should find your answers.
ETA: I went back to look and my memory is very faulty. It was a year ago and it was NOT that sort of stone at all. I'm so sorry! I did google and found a great deal of information.
Check the link I have down in the description for leveling a lawn marker. Follow that and you’ll be set. But, the answer to the question is even and with the grade, not above.
I think what you do would make a great Eagle Scout project.
My family plot uses graves stones like the short rectangular one to the right of the one you worked on & the issue we have is moss or lichen that grows on the granite & is very difficult to remove. My mother found a solution that worked but she died 20 years ago & I’ve lost the recipe. I will subscribe & watch more videos in hopes of finding something that will work in that case. Thanks for what you do!
Have you tried a strong bleach solution with a scraper & scrub brush?
That's what we use to scrub that stuff off of everything here - we wear gloves while we use the solution of course, and we wear "yard work" clothes so we don't ruin anything.
Sometimes we have to let it set for a few minutes on tough-to-clean areas.
Afterwards, we go over the whole thing with soapy water, then rinse with clear.
If you've tried this & it didn't work, I hope you find something that does.
Best wishes
What you're doing is beautiful.
I grew up in Portsmouth, Virginia and hearing about the yellow fever epidemic of 1855. It killed 3000 people in Norfolk and 1000 peop!e in Portsmouth. That was about 1/3 of the population of those cities. It was basically Armageddon with no hospitals, no food coming in, no communication, and so many dead that the Catholic priest helped dig graves. There were hundreds of orphans. Our church had a plaque on the back wall commemorating the clergy and parishioners who volunteered and died.
I’ve asked several times and haven’t seen an answer, are you using straight water D2 mixed with water. I usually have my straight D2 in a smaller hand spray pump, let it sit 15-20 minutes and go back afterward and I will use straight water and a brush to clean off the surfaces
The unfortunate thing is when most of us are forgotten, people move on, forget we existed, are final resting place if eventually over grown by nature because families don't like visiting cemeteries. For many years, which I have lost count of.the work to clean,fix family's places up at various cemeteries ,water strangers flowers, clean them up. None of my siblings have ever offered or taken the time to do this. I'm older,tired but try to visit, remember family, friends. Christ be with us all Buffalo ny
Thank you for the respect you show to other conservators. It is a wonderful community, those trying to help. I am sure it is quite a learning process:)
Good stuff, starting cleaning here locally in town and where my grandparents are resting
I may build a mini skid just for this work, haven’t had the opportunity to FIX a site but I’ve def seen some older monuments leaning real bad and others sinking
Looks interesting
I am a new subscriber. I am very impressed by your skill and the care and respect you show for the grave markers.
It is so gratifying to see someone so young do this caring work. How did you ever become interested in this kind of service?
Man we dug up some copperheads fixing an old marker, tombstone.
Wondering why you didnt put some bronze or brass pins back in the stones?
Been doing some restoration in our township cemeteries.
Thanks for sharing your videos.
Do you have an email for contacting you about a gravestone of my civil war vet 4xgreat-grandfather? The obelisk has fallen over years ago but I’m in Florida and can’t get to Mahaska county (nor have the knowledge) to repair it.
Come to the Finneytown historic gravesite it is incomplete disrepair so many revolutionary war veterans with stones cracked in half tree branches lying everywhere
I love that you give the history, where possible, while you work the stones. I find it very interesting.
Like your videos. You do a good job, like your explaining. I live in Alabama
My mom's family live in Story and Polk county IA.
All they have is us, to remember them.
We are the rememberers
The last Yellow Fever outbreak in the US was in 1905. Yellow Fever is a viral infection spread to people by the bite of an infected mosquitoes.
Yellow fever is still present in several countries in Africa & South America. If you are planning on traveling to any of these countries, a Yellow Fever vaccination is required.
For more general information on Yellow Fever, please see this link;

How do you find the Graves that need help does the cemetery contact you
Why does the headstone next to this one look so much better than this one even though it is about the same age?
Marble vs granite, I think.
Might be new too. Their family may have put in a new headstone
Different type of stone which was mentioned below. I was working on white marble and the other is granite. Granite is extremely durable and really never “show their age”
Do you have to get permission to go to a graveyard to do what you do
Wonderful content
What do you clean the stones with?
You doing the one 2 down? Signed up!
