    RIP Ms. Elizabeth Hart
    One can only wish to be buried in their garden and left alone, left to Rest In Peace in the place you found the most peace in life. ❤️

    I'm so pleased to see that her grave is still respected and left untouched.
    I really do think that the dead you visit would be pleased that you've visited and spoken their names.
    They live again, thanks to you.

    Thank you so much for this video! Elizabeth Hart is my ggggrandmother. I have always been told that she was buried in her daughter's garden. Her daughter married a Watson. She did have a granddaughter buried near her, and at one time, there was a marker. I have a picture of it somewhere. The granddaughter's name was Philista Hart. It made me so happy to know that her grave is still honored. Thank you.

    Very cool. I love that sort of stuff. Just off a dirt road in the back woods of Egg Harbor City, here in Atlantic County, NJ, there is a single grave. It is for a 34 year old woman named Mrs. Sibbel Shaler and her 3 infant children. She died in 1785, presumably from disease. She was the wife of a Revolutionary War privateer captain.

    Very lonely feeling being the lone grave. She probably has not had a visitor in a long time. The sand surely did erode the stone badly. Very different from Harris county. It seems your area of Georgia has very diverse terrain and soil not far from each other, a Geologist dream. Nice new farm truck! Thanks for the adventure and sharing your growing up days.👍👍

    Please bring some of the cleaner that Robert uses and clean that off. Her daughters' information may be on the ground stone. I barely saw four possible grave sites from where the vegetation changes position as well as slight risings or indentations in the ground. You're right, unless a bad storm system (tropical or tornado) sweeps the area sand doesn't sink like softer earth. It tends to stay risen from the water in the ground. A coffin may even make it stay a little risen due to swelling from heat or water! Take a close look at your video because I think you caught them.

    When I hear and see things like this, I imagine the lives of the individuals in the place of their rest in the afterlife. I adhere to no religious beliefs but I do indulge in imaginations of the lives of the deceased continuing with awareness of changing times. How they maintain the peace they had in life is a fascination of my imagination. I even create handmade books with their stories. It's a wonderful way to spend time when retired.

    That is so cool! I honestly think a quiet place like that is not such a bad place for my remains to turn dust as God intended. I agree with you though, it seems to me that she is probably not the only grave there. She was probably the only one marked. I need to ask my daddy if he knows about how graves would settle or if it’s different down that way. He spent a lot of time in south west Georgia as a kid. My Grandpaw was raised down in Moultrie, Ga in Colquitt County. There is a cemetery there that is seriously cool that I went to as a kid. My great uncles or at least one is buried there. I’ll have to send you the find a grave on that one. I really want to make a trip down that way soon.

    Nice power stroke you got there Robert! Keep them serviced and they will run along time! My 97 has 444,000 miles! No major issues! No injectors, glo plugs, etc! I religiously use lupus fuel treatment in mine! The old 7.3s were designed to run on a heavier sulfur diesel which today doesn't have as much! I use it every fill up just 3 good squeezes from the bottle and you're good! As usual great vid, I still envy what you do with these cemetarys and history! I would do something similar but I don't think it would pay the bill! So I keep doing my electrical work!

Bought it in 98 with 19,000 miles for $23, 500 and I have absolutely loved it all these years! If you want a comfortable ride these trucks are not what you want! I also took the black cover off the top of the engine because it holds alot of heat, I thing it causes deterioration to wiring and connectors! I noticed they haven't gotten worse after that!

    There is another lonely grave by itself in the woods of the Osceola State Forest in Baker County, Florida near a very, very small town called Taylor, Fl. Baker County is right on the Florida/ Georgia borderline. The name on the grave is John D. Williams. There is a brown sign that lets you know that you're in the right place but doesn't show where it is. You can find it on Google maps. That's how my fiancee and I found it. There is also a website on the grave site. If you go there please post it. I hope you find it. Be sure to bring a quarter with you to put on the grave. You'll see why just like we did. 🙂👍💚

Its easy to do, ive also found water lines, septic lines, etc! Dont hnow how it works, magnetics maybe, it has to do with ground layers different after filling hole or trench back in! So you could very well see if Mrs Hart's family members are buried next to her!

    It's a pity nobody will do a rubbing of Inscription... tracing paper over the Stone and rub it with Artists Carbon.
    No damage to Stone!

    It appeared to me that the last line of the epithet was “Judgement Day.”

    The very last line of the epitaph is “Judgement Day”

    Wonder on some of the hard to read you do rubbings I think it's called.

    Strange that only women were mentioned possibly being there with her and not any men🤍🤍

    Why visit a grave without a brush or other tools to clean, in order to read the inscriptions?

    Can that be cleaned up with that chemical y'all use? It's sad if she is buried by herself. There is a cemetery 1.5 miles from my house and there is 1 teenage girl buried there with a family name that doesn't match any others. I figure with her death date, her parents buried her then moved on somewhere else.
