- In this video I am visiting Staunton, Virginia. I had intended to make a couple of videos here including one at the Woodrow Wilson Birthplace, but it is still closed due to COVID. So I mad my way over to Thornrose Cemetery where I was able to explore this beautiful old cemetery. Thornrose is the final resting place of General John Echols and One of the Statler Brothers, Harold Reid. Professional Wrestler George "Two Ton" Harris is also buried here but even with the help of the cemetery office and workers, I couldn't find his grave.
Growing up in the 70’s my family vacationed in Stauton and are big fans of the statlers. We spent most of July in that beautiful town and had met so many wonderful people both local and travelers in that town. Thank you for another side of the town I love so much
Staunton is a beautiful town and I enjoy the Statler's 4th of July Concerts. Thank You for watching and for you kind comments.
Thank you for the feature on Harold. I love them all, but he was the funniest. He and Statlers will live on in my mind and memories.
I loved Harold as Lester "Roadhog" Moran. He was hilarious. Thank you for watching and for you kind comment.
Thanks for the interesting tour of the cemetery AND thank you for your tribute to Harold. The Statler Brothers were and will always be my favorite singing group. Was fortunate to attend their 4th of July celebration in Gypsy Park (Staunton) several times and to attend several concerts in our area of PA. As their song says, "I'll Go To My Grave Loving You".
Like You The Statler Brothers are my favorite group and I saw them several time in Person including that final show in Salem, Virginia. Thank You for watching and for you wonderful comment and memory.
Thank you so much for sharing. Coincidentally, your video popped up on the day that I returned from a cruise with Harold and Don's sons Wil and Langdon, who perform as Wilson Fairchild (their middle names). They also had their sons along who sing as Jack and Davis Reid Music. They just started professionally this past year and are in their late teens. Hearing all four of them together was an absolutely beautiful and memorable experience. The Statler Brothers have been and always will be my favorite group. When Harold died it was almost like losing a family member. 💔🎶
Thank You for your wonderful and insightful comments. I really enjoy memories of viewer who have such special meaning. I appreciated you watching and taking time to offer such a special memory.
Great video. My best memories are watching their tv shows and seeing them in Staunton a few years during the celebration
I too love their TV Show and attended sever of the Happy Birthday USA Celebrations in Staunton. Thank You for Watching and for you kind comment.
I used to walk through the Staunton mall and see a Statler Brother. My Mom and Dad actually went to school with them.
That's one of the things that I appreciate about the Statler's, that always stay close to home and never go above their raisin'. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Really enjoyed this video as my wife and I visited Thornrose Cemetery today and went to Harold's grave site. I have enjoyed listening to the Statler Brothers for a long time.
I to have always enjoyed the Statler Brothers. They were amazing entertainers. In a few weeks I will have a video come out where I visit the final resting place of Lew DeWitt. Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment.

AB Roadrunners scanning the videos and coming across Staunton Va. I have family there and family rest place in Thornrose. It's been a long time since I was there, but I'm planning on going back someday. Thank you for the video. Our RV is too big for Saunton streets but will find a park off Interstate and take our car.
I hope you can visit Staunton soon. Thank You for your comment and for watching.

Thanks for the video of the area , think we saw the Statlers 21 times at Concerts ! 3 at Staunton ! Nice burial site ! Always enjoyed the visits to the area ! Think one was a little diner in New Market ,great food !Back in the 80,s Harold was special !
Thank You for watching and for you Kind and interesting Comment. I too saw the Statler several time over the years and a couple of times at their Staunton Concerts. When I visit Staunton I always enjoy eating at Mrs. Rowe's Restaurant. I have also enjoy a few meals at the Southern Kitchen in New Market. I recently visited the Grave of Lew DeWitt and that video will be coming up in a few weeks. Thanks again for watching, I appreciated it.

Thank You for Watching.
Thanks for posting this. I drove around looking for Harold's gravestone but the graveyard is so large I couldn't find it. It looks like a sarcophagus where his wife will join him. He is so missed, such a unique talent.
Entering through the Gatehouse arch go straight up the hill under the footbridge are until you can bear to the right. Once you take the right Harold's final resting place is on the right at the corner of the next intersecting road. The GPS Coordinates are: 38.152520, -79.083333. If you are so inclined I just uploaded the video of my visit to the grave of Lew DeWitt over at the Augusta Memorial Park near Waynesboro.
