We ride horses a lot. I have to keep something on me or the bugs eat me up. I use peppermint and tea tree oil in a spray bottle mixed with water. No chemicals!!! Might work for ya.
Thank You for your dedication and hard work. These people's names were spoken for the 1st time in many years. If they could, I'm sure they would THANK you.
Cool! Benjamin Cleveland is my 6th Great-Uncle & John Monroe Cleveland is my 1st cousin- 6x removed. They were father and son! Thank you for finding this Cemetery! Donation on the way...
Reeves, Ira E.--Private Mar. 4, 1862. Wounded at Atlanta, Ga. July 22, 1864. In hospital, wounded, close of war. (Born in Henry County, Ga. Jan. 22, 1832.)
I know, I’d like to cut all but the largest trees down and all that underbrush, and repair all the broken stones. I always wonder who are all those people whose graves were marked with only a field stone.
Despite being overgrown, its amazing how some of those grave stones are so well preserved. Some were over a hundred years old but look like they were carved recently. Yes some stones I see are barely 50 years and are unreadable.
Just Love the old script the stones and the old verses so beautiful and sad all the same . Someone's family or loved one ,we have a cemetery near us we plan on cleaning up this fall .the story they have to tell with a bit of research .
They say a person dies twice....Once when they die... And the last time when no one is left to say or remember their names. Thank you Robert and friends for remembering the lost and forgotten. When you guys get to heaven and I hope that is a long, long ways away I'm sure many will be there to give you and your friends big hugs and many thank yous for remembering them and documenting that they once were here. 👻🤘💖
Somebody needs to take responsibility to clean that place up. I mean completely! Robert did an amazing job climbing thru that jumble. There are sure to be unmarked graves that can be identified as such. The broken headstones need to be raised and remounted. They are in really good shape but that won t last lying on the ground. Somebody has to own that land and should at least take the job on of finding someone to start this and to document their findings. It s history!
I love how decorative the people used to get with these stones and some of the words on them are beautiful. It's a shame that a beautiful cemetery like this is left forgotten. The people who are buried here are somebody's ancestors and the fact that nature is claiming them really is a shame, wish it could be restored and possibly used today to continue it's legacy.
You get the sense of how important family relationship was to people back then. In their death, their identities are summarised as "wife of ..." or "husband of ...", "daughter of ... ", "son of ....", "sister of ...", "brother of ..." And the epitaphs are so lovely; families talking about how their dead ones will be missed. Modern tombstones often just identify the dead by his own name or his personal accomplishments, denoting a more individualistic society. I love hearing you reading the tombstones and often do a quick calculation of how old these people are when they died. Thank you for sharing your lovely videos.
It's sad as you will most likely be the last person to acknowledge the existence, say their name & even visit their graves. In another 20-50 years they will have disappeared. I hope they did meet their love ones if there is truly a heaven. Then it won't matter what happens to their graves. What sadness me most is that there are so many in this cementery. A reason my ashes are being spread in the ocean. As I feel bad that I can no longer visit my father's grave.im too old & he is buried to far away. A wonderful thought provoking series. 🇦🇺🐨👍🏼❤️🧡❤️🧡 Australia
So many graves you have resurrected, repaired, or just read to us. You are the graveminder of so many of the forgotten. And yes, every time you (or we after you) speak their name, they know they are not forgotten. God Bless, Robert, you are definitely on a mission of love. ❤️❤️❤️
Robert...I believe this is the 1st cemetery that I've seen that has so many beautiful words on them. So very, very interesting. They left tributes to their relatives, suggests they were a close-knit community. I really enjoyed this 4 part series you produced...your voice when reading the words on the stones really enhances how the people truly felt about their loved ones. Thank you for taking me along.... :)
I just wonder how many graves like these that are forgotten, that eventually just get paved over and built on. It makes me sad to think about it. BUT I have seen it happen. In the name of progress,ugh. Thank you for what you do in finding and documenting these graves and all the others.
Those inscriptions and poems on the stones always amaze me.That cemetery needs a brigade of people to clean it up. Horse flies hurt like the dickens. Im glad you are remembering them. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
Our family has a LONG HISTORY of Grave keepers. Twice a year we would visit them and keep them clean, weeds pulled, raked out & new flowers. Just a few months ago my mother passed and now I am in charge of all of them. My Great Great Grandfather fought with General Sherman right after he came here from Germany. He was one of the very first settlers in Indiana. I take care of his grave as well :)
I've not looked in for a while,but I'm glad to see you followed my suggestion of using a wisk broom to clear the inscriptions on the tombstones.Thank you for all your research.
1861 must have been brutal for the McJunkins. Not only was war raging but I assume sisters, Catherine, 23, and Harriet, 19, died Sept 17 and Sept 27, of that year.
How sad that the state doesn’t keep these great old historic places they are as important or more to me as I love the history thanks so much for spending your valuable time showing us this is incredible 👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🦊
This is incredible how big this goes on. I completely understand the heat the nettles and the deer flies ouches!! Thanks Robert for taking the time to care of those that are gone! Wish I was there to help 💞
Do you know if this was a church cemetery, private cemetery or possibly a county owned cemetery and who owns the land today? While the grave markers "seem random" in the video because of the thick underbrush, have you noticed any kind of a pattern in the cemetery like the graves being placed in rows?
This may not have been a pleasant cemetery to inspect, but it's been one of the most interesting. I like the way headstones AND footstones were put on graves. It's much more beautiful that way. Thank you Robert for sharing these adventures with us.🇺🇸
Thank you for doing this series. I wish there was someone in my area doing what you do to remember our predecessors. I am in the northwest mountains of North Carolina. I do thank you and enjoy your remembrance.
You sir are doing a great service to all the Christians and families of America who have a heritage here and are being wiped out, told we were never here, and our heritage of love, family, God, being obliterated- it does one so much good to see the past toil and respect these families had, and their traditions. I hope some church sees the importance of preserving this Cemetary for future generations to re-learn respect, reverence, pain & grief and love and hope- that we are here for God’s glory and this is the way to show it. Thank you.
Thanks for taking me along. Boy! Those flies were bad. Hope you can find out more about the place. Maybe even some history behind it. Would the court houses have any tax records, etc?
I’m so sorry you went thru that pain I really am. I must admit tho these 4 have been my absolute favourites. I loved each one. Thank you so much for taking me along. Please stay safe
I'm glad you went back. I did really enjoy. It's amazing to be how big it is and yet completely forgotten. Glad you were able to help that family. It's strange but, it's amazing how rewarding for you this must turn out to be for you. Especially when it ends up helping families to find part of their heritage. You probably never even thought about it until you have had theses kinds of requests. Good job. Thank you.
It is a shame that no one keep this cemetery up i would like to take all the woods out and clean it up and make all those in there stand out ,it is a shame that family,s of these did not take care of it they deserved better Rev Mike .
I know it would be a lot to ask, but it would be great to add the GPS location for the graves in the Find a Grave app so that family members could locate the graves of their ancestors in the future. As an example, I have family buried in a graveyard in the woods behind a home in WV and have a "general" idea (1 mile radius) where the graveyard is, but I don't know if I'll ever find it. Luckily, someone took some headstone photos several years ago.
Robert I want to thank you for your perseverance during the making of this video and everyone with you😊‼️ Must be very gratifying when people contact you in regards to family or friends that are revealed in one of your videos of cemeteries or old homesteads, even the old towns or what once was a town!!!!!! I just want let all of you know
Thank you again for all your time and energy in bringing us this great history. Our country is so young and we need to remember our history, good and bad, so we do not repeat our mislead ideas and actions
Wish I wasn't so far from you all. I'd love to explore with you. I have pictures old graves for years. It's so interesting. There is a grave yard sitting in the city of Danville, Va, my home town. There are many Confederate graves there and the city keeps it up very well. They had to put a 8 foot fence around it with barbed wire on top like a prison fence. This was done because some that live in the neighborhood were breaking the stones and actually digging into some of the graves. Take care!
It would be lovely if local historians, Gravers (members of Find-a-Grave) and preservationists could get together and organize a clean up of this cemetery and documentation of the graves.
That scrub appears to be 10-20 years old or so. I suspect the Cemetary was cleared about then. There needs to be a lot of tall older overgrowth to shade newer growth from coming up. I suspect older trees planted during the heyday of the place just died out and fell 30 to 50 years ago and the scrub brush started up. I'm a student of forest ecosystems and can spot these evolving generations of growth. Old cemeteries have to have hardwood trees to keep out scrub brush, but the hardwood trees die out after several generations unless maintained and brush will take over, just like here. We can guide the hand of nature but never control it...
By far. the best find so far! That is one big cemetery! People of all sorts of family in here. It really needs to be cleaned up a lot. Hope some member of the family can come up to Georgia and work on it. If not, it's gonna be left that way and they will all soon disappear.
Absolutely amazing cemetery!! Surely, there is some county official that would see that it is cleaned up. The people buried here seemed to have been more financially able to buy large headstones. What a shame that it is not maintained better than it is.
Thank you!! I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed exploring this cemetery with you. I'm just wondering why so many graves are in the middle of nowhere. Do you know if there was once large community in the area? Thank you again for this awesome adventure!!!!
Enjoy your videos and your respectfulness as you walk through their resting place. Thank you for reminding us of their time on earth. Stay safe and healthy!! :)
Reeves? I know a Sam Reeves here in Tucson who's from Alabama. Probably a distant relative since his family were pioneers in that state.(I made a family tree for his grandchildren.)
Sylvain G It’s a VERY common name in the Deep South. I’ll go on ancestry and look up the tree and find out where they came from. I believe it.’s a English name.
Those galvanized piping used for posts and chain link fencing isn`t that old and most of trees growing there are pretty thin and ther`s a lot of new growth, by that, I assume this cemetery is abandonend, or better said stopoed mowing fairly recently, in last 20-30 years. Sad.
I Think it's time for US to get our tools and go clean up these places and fix the broken headstones,don't forget the Flags for the VETS!! May They Rest In Peace & Thank You For Their Service
The final video of the Holloman Cemetery! I gotta say I was pretty miserable filming this part, that stinging nettle and those deer flies are something serious!

As overwhelming as it seems ... I just want to get in there and clean that place up!
I was just thinking that...it’s a ashamed...I want to get my weed eater and go & take my rake and trash bags
I know, I’d like to cut all but the largest trees down and all that underbrush, and repair all the broken stones. I always wonder who are all those people whose graves were marked with only a field stone.
Me too 😭 it is sad to say something like this but at least being documented
When I get back to Missouri I want to clean up a few that I know of
Me too
Thank you Robert for what you do in documenting and sharing, so in that moment they are not forgotten and they’re names are spoken once again.
And every time someone plays these videos (like me in August 2021), their names are spoken time and again.
Despite being overgrown, its amazing how some of those grave stones are so well preserved. Some were over a hundred years old but look like they were carved recently. Yes some stones I see are barely 50 years and are unreadable.
Probably because of the overgrowth. If they were more in the open the dang vandals would have ruined them.
I thought it had to do with the stone and the instruments the cutters used so long ago.
Just Love the old script the stones and the old verses so beautiful and sad all the same . Someone's family or loved one ,we have a cemetery near us we plan on cleaning up this fall .the story they have to tell with a bit of research .
I enjoyed going with y’all again so much. I wonder what it was like in Georgia in the 1700’s. Thank you so much.
They say a person dies twice....Once when they die...
And the last time when no one is left to say or remember their names.
Thank you Robert and friends for remembering the lost and forgotten. When you guys get to heaven and I hope that is a long, long ways away I'm sure many will be there to give you and your friends big hugs and many thank yous for remembering them and documenting that they once were here. 👻🤘💖

Wish the cemetery could be cleared and restored
My exact thought!
Walter Old Soul Dreamer I was thinking the same. To bad we all can’t meet there and do a massive clean-up
Thank you for your efforts, Robert. I think you could spend several days at that site before you found all the graves. Thanks.
These are all someone's ancestors. They should be respected instead of letting all the weeds and trash trees grow over them.
I agree it’s a shame to let it grow up and not be taken care of
there may not be anyone alive to do any good here.
Maybe some Boy Scout could clean it up and make a record of the internments. One hell of a way to earn his Eagle badge!

TY Robert Another Great Sidestep Adventure, Awesome That The Family You Spoke About Now Knows Where Their Family Member Is Buried.
You are doing such a great service for people.
It is heart breaking how people just don't care anymore

God bless u Robert for going out an recording this an mentioning the names of these poor souls that have been forgotten in time.
I have an old family grave yard and it’s great to know where my family members are buried
Im wondering, due to the fact there are a lot of young saplings in the cemetary area, if the area was maintained up until recently
Well done, well done. On behalf of the forgotten, THANK YOU!
What Beautiful sayings on these gravestones!

SO sorry you were stung and bitten, dear. You were wonderful to go out there and find this place for the family.

I wish I could get out there and help you guys! Find these graves!
This is just beautiful 😍.. I wish that I lived in those times. .

To see all those graves that are forgotten is so sad thank you for finding them and speaking their name once again
It's wonderful to see how respectful you are. Thank you for the videos.
Wow so much history in those graves!!!👍🇵🇷
Bless you for what you do. It’s worth it because you brought a long lost family member and reunited them with their family from Texas. Awesome!
It would be amazing if this could be cleaned up and repaired. Not to be forgotten.

It to bad a civic group or Boy Scout troop couldn’t take that cemetery on as a project to restore. It’s lovely
This resting place is an absolute treasure. Thank you so much for sharing.
Once again thank you for your persistence and sincerity in honoring these lost souls.

Still the grave is well preserve.and sill readable.It just need to be clean. Niceb vlog.
i love exploring grave yards too. glad to see that you do the same.
Thank you for sharing your videos with us. It is so nice how respectful you are when visiting the cemeteries
I enjoy watching your videos. No one else documents the graveyards like you. You reading the names and dates off the headstones is very interesting.
Thank You for All Your Hard Work on All of Your Amazing Adventures
Love love these videos. Thank you so much for the work that you guys do. So sad that so many of those cemeteries are forgotten or and destroyed.

It would be lovely if local historians, Gravers (members of Find-a-Grave) and preservationists could get together and organize a clean up of this cemetery and documentation of the graves.
I love your graveyard tours. Your voice is so soothing, it helps this old insomniac catch some ZZZZZZZ's. Thanks for sharing. HUGGGGGS!
Thank you for this exploration of this cemetery. It is a huge cemetery.
The Holloman Creek Cemetery.
That scrub appears to be 10-20 years old or so. I suspect the Cemetary was cleared about then. There needs to be a lot of tall older overgrowth to shade newer growth from coming up. I suspect older trees planted during the heyday of the place just died out and fell 30 to 50 years ago and the scrub brush started up.
I'm a student of forest ecosystems and can spot these evolving generations of growth. Old cemeteries have to have hardwood trees to keep out scrub brush, but the hardwood trees die out after several generations unless maintained and brush will take over, just like here. We can guide the hand of nature but never control it...
Keep up the fantastic work Robert. It will pay off in a major way in your life and of course, help others as well.
By far. the best find so far! That is one big cemetery! People of all sorts of family in here. It really needs to be cleaned up a lot. Hope some member of the family can come up to Georgia and work on it. If not, it's gonna be left that way and they will all soon disappear.
Id like to see a couple more parts of this cemetery
Love your videos you are so respectful of the living and the dead😊🙏
Thank you for another very moving video.
Doctor up your injuries, thank you for your kindness and care!
