    Dave, I am very sorry for the loss of your sister. You could have hung around the grave longer, and told any stories you wanted to about her. We would have stuck with you. It's amazing that you go back every year. Thank you for sharing that with us. You're an amazing brother.

      Thanks Pal. More to the story... mom left the family soon after and we ended up in Foster Care and Children Homes. My memory of her is fuzzy. Thanks for your kindness, friend.

    I was born in Maryland, have lived in Dayton all my life and now live in Kettering. I used to do a good bit of walking for exercise in Calvary Cemetery. Most of my dead relatives are in other cemeteries, including Calvary, but I do have a few named Lindamood in Woodland. I was walking there once and discovered an uncle I didn't know was buried there, and the Lindamood jumped out at me, lol. I have a high school friend buried there also. My grandpa and dad worked at NCR back in the 60s when we were kids (now completely torn down), and I have great childhood memories of the employee recreation park with double swimming pools and a theater where we had a nice yearly Christmas program back in the day. I worked at Delco Moraine and graduated from Patterson Co-Op High School in 1973; again, both gone now. My ex-hubby is buried in Memorial Park. I didn't realize Agnes Moorhead was buried there. She was evidently married twice and obviously didn't suffer a fool, like the saying goes. Lol.

      Thanks for sharing. You sound like a nice person to meet. My Gpa had Bogan Mayflower on Woodman. I don't suppose you heard of it. It's now Lewis and Michael.

      @@famousgraveswithdiamonddave I'm right now trying to locate exactly where Bogan Mayflower was. Looking mapwise to me and from other info like it was near Research Park and Patterson Road, probably back in there further near Woodman Fen? I've never done any walking back there and not sure I have it right. My sister actually works at the tissue lab near Patterson and Woodman. I can remember when the State Farm was there ages ago before the buildings and businesses there now. She lives in Greenmont Village close by also.

      @@cynthiamurphy3669 I think you are correct. 1827 Woodman Drive. Close to Woodman Fen. I was only 5 or 6 last time I was in the bldg. Which was 60 yrs ago. I'm sad because I wish I had more memories of Bogan's.

    Great video Dave. Such an interesting array of people and their resting places. Sheeesh, yes Agnes Morehead seemed stuck up for sure. Sorry about your sister Dave and good on you for visiting her grave every year. I’ve been to my wife’s grave maybe 3 times in 13 years. It just brings a flood of memories and reminds me of how much I miss and love her. I know she’s in heaven waiting for us to come home to her and be together forever. God bless you Dave.

    Dave you should check out Xenia Ohio which is right outside of Dayton, I'm originally from there, it's a charming small city but it is mostly known for the April 3,1974 for having a terrible F5 tornado which I am a survivor of.

  • @shevindudley4746

    I think it would be amazing if you made a Video of the stories and graves of those who passed away in the Xenia Ohio Tornado which many were heroes sacrificed their lives saving others, like a lady that worked at the A&W Root Beer Stand who laid herself over children to save them. There is a honorary statue in front of the Greene County Courthouse in Xenia of those that passed away in the worst Tornadoes in History

    Why didn't you give the names of the cemeteries for Ernie Banks and Abe Saperstein? They are not in the same cemetery as George Halas. Ernie is in Graceland and Abe is in Westlawn, the same cemetery as Jack Ruby.
