One of my favorite cemetery explores.... and it wasn’t the “content” of the cemetery, rather something harder to get across on video. The atmosphere of that place on that day. The peace, the serenity. Good friends out exploring, in search of remnants from the past. The perfect lighting. It was a good day.

I think you asked about the circle symbol on the bottom of the stone that's supporting the tree, and I think it's supposed to symbolize eternal life. It's a wheel with spokes, and it never really begins or ends. But also, it was a somewhat common decorative geometric design during the eastlake movement, which is consistent with the time period. Here's an example of an eastlake bar mirror my parents had in their house so you can see the similarities. Sorry the design is hard to see; it's an old photo and they've since remodeled. imgur.com/L1IdHqg
My family is buried across 6 southern states and I have lived in Texas almost 60 years. When I die I will be cremated and my ashes scattered. Funerals and burials are terribly expensive in the 21st century and no one would travel to visit my grave. It just seems more practical to be scattered. I’m glad we have these old cemeteries. They’re a reminder of our history.
I have the same plans too for the same reasons. My ashes will be spread in Georgia where I'm from though I don't live there now. My family is buried from Kentucky to Florida to Arizona,to Illinois,to Georgia,and Michigan. .
Thanks Robert! I needed some peacefulness and maybe a reminder that we are all fellow travelers to the grave. Life is short, we should be kind to each other and ourselves. You're a good man.
Maybe George Wood's marker is just an "epitaph" to honor him and for living family members to remember him as a "Gettysburg" war casualty. It is a very famous Civil War battle immortalized by President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address speech. I have relatives who served in that war so it's very interesting to see this marker. Thank you for sharing this.
Love the tours of these old cemeteries. These tombstones, and the people buried there always give food for thought. Walking through one gives me a sense of calmness, and peace of mind. When I was younger, I would go to the cemetery, and clear my thoughts, when things bothered me. Thank you both Roberts.
Looked George W. Wood up and found that his Body is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Gettysburg Pa, Admas County, and was most likely never bought back, so the Headstone there in the Mullens cenetery is to Honor him since the rest of the family is buried there. Also, he served in the Union Army, Private, Company K, 26th Pa Regiment, form what his burial tag record states..Seems though a bit of look up, David Winston Mullins [ Hence the headstone that the Tree fell on ] was married to Virginia Wood Mullins, whose headstone was not far off from the Obalisk headstone that had fallen. Seems Stephen W. Wood and wife, Ann McQueen had son, William H. Wood, George W. Wood, & Virginia.
Robert Geo W Woods may be : Lt George W Woods of the 60th Georgia. His company report says he was mortally wounded at SHARPSBURG ( Antietam) not Gettysburg. However it was easy to get that information mistaken. Example: the report could have been filed from Gettysburg Or whoever reported may have confused the two battles ( especially if someone doing the paperwork was working after the fact) Or the family may have told the battle but forgot the name if marker went up a few years after his death I’m guessing that Lt Wood 60th Georgia soldier
Parents were Stephen and Ann Wood. In 1850 there were about 5 kids. There is a person of the same name but dates are a little off 1839-1862. Not the same. He might not have been able to be identified in Gettysburg. William Wood was his brother. Not a lot of info on Confederate soldiers.
I love your cemetery explorations! You are so reverent about it all and still make it interesting for your viewers. May you never run out of places to explore and also may you always stay safe!
Robert, it was common in the civil war for seriously wounded soldiers to be sent home to convalesce. He could've died later from his wounds while in S.Ga...
The gate was probably built by the local blacksmith. Most people associate blacksmiths with horses and mules but the town smithies were a lot more. They made barn hinges, latches, door closures, cooking utensils, plow points, hoes, rakes, shovels and other tools, sharpened axes, made knives and many other tools. The gate may have a makers mark. Really cool workmanship. Thanks for sharing your story with us! On to the next one! ✝️✝️✝️❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This is such a beautiful location. I try to imagine what it must have looked like long ago with family and friends gathered to say their final goodbyes. Little did these people know that technology would someday allow you to document their names and the site of their final resting place for the world to appreciate.
Yes Robert I love the gate too. Who ever built the gate had a lot of talent when alive. I love history of individuals because it brings them back to life. It's unfortunate we don't know the name of the individual who curried the rocks and built the gate. Very talented. I have a feeling they may have been the one in the volt maybe. It's a shame they're was no name so that you could've read their name. Now this is just what I'm imagining. My thoughts which don't mean much. This is one of the reasons I love following you and young Robert ❤. It allows me to just imagine. Great adventure. Young Robert, I'm so glad you take time off from your new home. You know what they say; all work and no play. One thing about it young Robert, I have a feeling there is nothing dull about you. God bless you and friends. Looking forward to more adventures. How many new thing you uncover on your new property. God bless 💖.
When I go to visit these old cemetaries, if I see a stone that has fallen, I lift it back to it's proper position, or try to, as some of these stones are heavy. But I can almost hear a silent "Thank you..." as I'm walking away!
Robert & Company - It's been a little while since watching some of your latest findings in Georgia and elsewhere. I still am proud to watch your findings, especially in the "forgotten small cemeteries" that have good history for the communities to remember...fix up...and keep the residents that are buried there, to be better remembered by all. Cleaning up these places is one of those things I would love to see happen. Yes...it would take a ton of money to get a several men... dedicated men group, to do these clean-ups. Best times: late fall and into the winter when "the critters" are bedded down. Still, precautions in every way would still need to be foremost and first. Thanks for your devotion in these videos for us "country history fans" to admire from your crew and your leadings.
The ornate headstone is amazing! I want to put the obelisk back on its base and clear the fallen tree off the headstone! We lost over a dozen trees on only 2 acres in Hurricane Michael (Oct 2018). Two big trees came up, roots and all, like that one!
Footstones were originally placed to mark the length of the coffin so the next grave dug would not disturb any previous burials. Lack of a footstone is (given that period of time) a good indication that the stone for the Gettysburg soldier is indeed a cenotaph.
@@willoughby1888 Oh, I love my old books. I have quite a collection & they're vastly more interesting & educational about life & culture than Google will ever be! 👍
I just looked up that word ! Thank you for sharing this with me as I learned something new today ! I was almost out of time to learn something new today ! I try to learn something new everyday and I'm 65 !
Robert, I love your videos they are very well done and very educational, I always learn something. The elder Robert also steps it up a bit with experience. You two are a great combination.
Robert you and your dad should check out the cemeteries in Delaware they date back to civil war times you should go metal detecting or magnet fishing OK
I don't think you will ever find an uninteresting cemetery. You've inspired me to get out during Covid-19, but so far all I am doing is watching more videos for further inspiration. Thanks for the good job.
I absolutely love your videos! As a taphophile, most of my family and friends think I'm weird. In my spare time I visit old cemeteries and marvel at the history and the human stories attached. It's great to see that there are fellow enthusiasts out there who understand my passion. Hello from Sydney, Australia :)
You are right there is something, about this Cemetery, its like you can feel the souls, that's just me, but there is a feel to it, such a great video as always Robert!😀💖👍
Hi, Found this on Finda a Grave. Is Mullins Family Cemetery. Also there is a photo of a modern street sign saying Mullins Family Cemetery with an arrow.
Looks like the area has been clear cut. Good thing those rock pillars are there. I see what Robert II is showing where the headstone actually moved to the left!!!! Very very quiet there - no birds or anything.
Love all the videos ..Both of you are a good team together..Praying for Older Roberts foot to get better..And also Praying for your safety as you work on your house and land ..its looking really good
I respect everything that you both do so much. I’ve got to say that I love The Other Robert’s shirt. IT’S FABULOUS!!!! Thank you for these videos. Stay safe. Grandpa said The Other Robert will be fine💕💕 love from England
This was a small cemetery, but the details you both pointed out made it fascinating! That triangular wire fencing wrapped around the stone fence posts was unique as I had never seen any like it. Senior Robert is so full of knowledge, he is like having your own personal Google! When are we going to take up a fund for getting him a new shirt?! He amuses me, when he speaks of Grandpa, lol.
Another respectful journey back in time acknowledging the lives of ordinary folks. Thank you for your videos Robert. Well done gentlemen, stay safe y'all. 💕
I found a George W. Wood -- 7th Regiment, Georgia Infantry, and also a George W. Wood, 60th Georgia Infantry. No other information from my brief search.
I want to thank you for exploring old cemeteries. There are many of us who are tracing our families and have run into no records, or incomplete records. For instance, I can't find my great grandparents burial place. Many people could find their lost relatives because of the way you explore. History is important and I thank you again.
The marks on the gate post you all were wondering about were made by the quarrying process. Back in the day stones were cut using a hammer and star drill to drill a hole, then devices called “plug and feathers” were used to crack the stone along a score line. See this wiki: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_and_feather
Robert, here is another interesting thing I just found. The only daughter of David H. Mullins, Ann Mullins was born 1854 in White Sulphur Springs GA( Your last video location)
At Antioch Cemetary in Adel, Ga. granddaddy couldn't find his daughter Ruths grave who had passed in 1915 So they put a stone at the site where him and Nanny and their son Bobby is in the cemetary
I'm officially hooked! Thank you for doing what you do, and posting these videos. I'm sure if any family members of these people are still around, and could see these, I'm sure they would appreciate what ya'll are doing.
I admire Brain so much, I have problems with my knees & no way could I do what he does. It must be painful but he doesn't stop him,. I goggled David Winston Mullins. Digging up your family. 2011. Seeing it then & now, it said the Miller family was going to come back & clean it up. Photos were before logging company came & destroyed it. What it was then , so sad to see it as it is now. David ended up in a Sanatorium for 39 years. A really interesting read. Once it must have been a lovely cemetery. Well done both Brian's. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🐨⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great trip into the middle of nowhere. I have to wonder what the area looked like back in its day. A little farming community or just a plot of land. These videos sure makes a person wonder about the past . Great job as always and just wondering Is Grandpa still alive 🚙💝
I enjoyed this adventure with you both, Robert!!! It's always interesting to see who was buried in these old cemeteries!!! I'm glad you read the names!!! I have a friend who is a Mullins that lives here in SC!!! I think his parents lived in NC. Thank you Robert for sharing!!! Take care, stay safe and God bless you both!!!
George Wood's Gettysburg headstone might be a "cenotaph", a marker in memory of him but not marking an actual gravesite. Would be comforting to have that near the gravesites of his other family members. Thanks for sharing this.
The Other Robert: 4:46 I do love watching you find graves..you get so excited when you find some of the Graves. I would be just like you if I found some of them. You work so hard and fast. I do have a question-why can't you use a regular plastic broom while dusting off the Graves? Would sure take a load off your back. Also, why not a plastic yard rake? Thank you for what you do and Robert Wright as well.
I really enjoy watching your videos on these cemeteries. Some of the headstones are made beautifully and have been engraved with such detail. Thank you and Robert for your work documenting these old cemeteries.
The gate looks like an old spring type thing that was under a mattress bottom from long ago! My folks long ago were always using metal headboards for gates.
I am absolutely fascinated with old graves, I try to imagine what life was for people back then. There is a cemetery I visit every time I walk by. It is not to far from where the World Trade Center in New York. It’s a church cemetery and everyone buried there died in the 17 and 18 hundreds.
It amazes me how you always find these out of the way cemeteries. This one has a very unique set up. Looks to be a family group...I know a Mullins in Nova Scotia...🤔 The place looks like it's in fair condition. Thanks Guy's...👍🎄
I think you are right about Mr. Wood. To bring back a body to Georgia from Pennsylvania would probably have been impossible. Maybe they exhumed him many years after he was killed and brought him home. Who knows. Still very sad. Young man lost in the prime of his life.
From readings in my wayward youth, it was not uncommon during the period for a family member to travel a distance to claim the remains of a loved one, even during the height of the war. Passes could be obtained to travel across the lines. It was also not uncommon to just bring home a bone or two to bury on home soil. They could be carried in a valise instead of having to transport a casket. There were also businesses that would render the flesh off the bones so the remains could be brought home. Then there was embalming...
Yes sir, another historic cemetery. That whole area was sure devoid of trees. I hope the idea is not to turn that area into some kind of housing area, complete with stores shopping centers and all that malarkey. Again, another great video and thanks for bringing us along.
One of my favorite cemetery explores.... and it wasn’t the “content” of the cemetery, rather something harder to get across on video. The atmosphere of that place on that day. The peace, the serenity. Good friends out exploring, in search of remnants from the past. The perfect lighting. It was a good day.

I believe those folks had more faith then any of us have today.
Yes,they had to. Many were lost in childhood and the Civil War. Some little communities lost all their young men as well as older ones.
Thanks Robert! I needed some peacefulness and maybe a reminder that we are all fellow travelers to the grave. Life is short, we should be kind to each other and ourselves. You're a good man.
Exactly my thoughts .
We are seeing our destiny
That gravestone of Patrick Mullins is beautiful. So much history there. Thank you.
Maybe George Wood's marker is just an "epitaph" to honor him and for living family members to remember him as a "Gettysburg" war casualty.

Our old family cemetery in south Alabama has that very web wire design...❤️ Interesting
The marks on the gate post you all were wondering about were made by the quarrying process.
Back in the day stones were cut using a hammer and star drill to drill a hole, then devices called “plug and feathers” were used to crack the stone along a score line.
See this wiki:

Robert, here is another interesting thing I just found. The only daughter of David H. Mullins, Ann Mullins was born 1854 in White Sulphur Springs GA( Your last video location)
Weird coincidence.?
I will have to research but I think this may be my ancestors. That first tombstone hit me right in the heart.That was my brother's name.
At Antioch Cemetary in Adel, Ga. granddaddy couldn't find his daughter Ruths grave who had passed in 1915 So they put a stone at the site where him and Nanny and their son Bobby is in the cemetary
Oh what these souls could tell us of their lives on this earth. All we can do is guess from their resting places.

Awww I like the other Robert 2( them both) they mix well . I miss my tio as well . Much lov Keith
I enjoyed this. I winter in Ga and often drive by these old cemeteries. Next time I’ll stop.
I enjoyed this adventure with you both, Robert!!! It's always interesting to see who was buried in these old cemeteries!!! I'm glad you read the names!!! I have a friend who is a Mullins that lives here in SC!!! I think his parents lived in NC. Thank you Robert for sharing!!! Take care, stay safe and God bless you both!!!
So peaceful. I hope some family members see this and will go and take care of the place
George Wood's Gettysburg headstone might be a "cenotaph", a marker in memory of him but not marking an actual gravesite. Would be comforting to have that near the gravesites of his other family members. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for this episode
The Other Robert:
4:46 I do love watching you find graves..you get so excited when you find some of the Graves.
I would be just like you if I found some of them.
You work so hard and fast.
I do have a question-why can't you use a regular plastic broom while dusting off the Graves? Would sure take a load off your back.
Also, why not a plastic yard rake?
Thank you for what you do and Robert Wright as well.
I really enjoy watching your videos on these cemeteries. Some of the headstones are made beautifully and have been engraved with such detail. Thank you and Robert for your work documenting these old cemeteries.
Grandpa said that the other Robert will be fine.
I absolutely love your adventures
The gate looks like an old spring type thing that was under a mattress bottom from long ago! My folks long ago were always using metal headboards for gates.
Thankyou for the serenity
Never disappointed in your videos, 2 thumbs up.
Always so pleasant to explore with you. Thanks so much for sharing. Peace and love.
I love your Videos this is amazing thanks to both of you :)
I am absolutely fascinated with old graves, I try to imagine what life was for people back then. There is a cemetery I visit every time I walk by. It is not to far from where the World Trade Center in New York. It’s a church cemetery and everyone buried there died in the 17 and 18 hundreds.
Great find and well shown Thankyou for another great video
Another good explore.
Thank you, Robert.
It amazes me how you always find these out of the way cemeteries. This one has a very unique set up. Looks to be a family group...I know a Mullins in Nova Scotia...🤔 The place looks like it's in fair condition.
Thanks Guy's...👍🎄
I think you are right about Mr. Wood. To bring back a body to Georgia from Pennsylvania would probably have been impossible. Maybe they exhumed him many years after he was killed and brought him home. Who knows. Still very sad. Young man lost in the prime of his life.
From readings in my wayward youth, it was not uncommon during the period for a family member to travel a distance to claim the remains of a loved one, even during the height of the war. Passes could be obtained to travel across the lines. It was also not uncommon to just bring home a bone or two to bury on home soil. They could be carried in a valise instead of having to transport a casket. There were also businesses that would render the flesh off the bones so the remains could be brought home. Then there was embalming...
Enjoyed this
History @ its finest
Amazing cemetery and video
I really want to thank you for this video. This cemetary was one of my favorite ones that you have been to.
The cemetery was lovely. Every cemetery is fascinating.
The cemetery looks pretty clean with new fallen leaves. Someone must of raked it before. Great vlog.
Hi 👋🏻😀sidestep adventures.this blog it’s very interesting to see.
Yes sir, another historic cemetery. That whole area was sure devoid of trees. I hope the idea is not to turn that area into some kind of housing area, complete with stores shopping centers and all that malarkey. Again, another great video and thanks for bringing us along.
