    I'm 14 and I have been watching you're channel for around a year now and you have inspired me to restore a local cemetery. I have received permission from the town of Butler, NY to restore the Hubbard Cemetery. It has been abandoned for over 100 years. The last known burial is 1913. There is a war of 1812 veteran (his headstone is broken), Revolutionary war veteran and at least 5 civil war veterans. Would you be interested in helping me restore it? Thanks for all that you do.

    My home town of newton Kansas was hit with a tornado this past Sunday that really put a hurting on our local cemetery, im sure it’s beyond a long shot but I know we would love to have someone like you help get them stood up / fixed. The morning after the storm I had seen dozens of concerned family’s wondering if the family’s head stones made it

    Congratulations for all your hard work remembering people that passed away so long ago 👏🏽
    Just one suggestion if I might: you should show more of the inscriptions on the tombstones, like let us know what's written on it.

      I was just thinking this, or even at the very end of the video put up their name/s and DoB/DoD and if they found out how they passed put that out there too!

    For Mothers Day, my husband took me up to Mineral Point, Wisconsin, to visit my mother's grave. We also cleaned my grandparents' stones that were covered in the black mold. You couldn't even read them. I used this cleaner, Wet & Forget outdoor moss, mold, mildew, & algae stain remover. It worked great. Loosened everything and, with some scrubbing, took the black mold off.

    There's a wonderful cemetery in the middle of historic Savannah. It's pretty big and the headstones are from 1700 early 1800s, but many of them you can't read and there's so much information on them and it's just covered with age and grime. I wonder if Mr. Fowler will ever go to Colonial Park cemetery in Savannah. Everyone who went there would then be able to read the tombstones. There's so much history written on many of them, but most of them aren't readable. 💙

    I'm glad you showed the drone shot. I had no idea of the size of that cemetery and thought it was relatively small. It's huge for a relatively rural area! That snippet put it all into perspective. I thought it was pretty before, but it's beautiful!

    To me, this is the most beautiful part of this country. I would love up there if I could handle the winters. I’m a southerner so I’m not used to snow and freezing temps.

    In each of your videos you should keep reminding people of the steps to make sure the monuments are secure and stable before starting to clean them. On that second monument, it was leaning, and could have fallen over on either of you or just hit the ground and broke. Everyone who has done this for a while automatically does that step, but the new people watching us could really get in trouble if they don't know to do it.

    If I may add a suggestion - at the very end of the video put up their name/s and DoB/DoD and if they found out how they passed put that out there too, it would make these much more interesting and allow a sense of story to the cleaning

      It usually takes months for the D2 to completely work and make the headstone really clean. Please don't try to rush it by scrubbing extra hard.

    • @Lucinda_Jackson
      @Lucinda_Jackson Місяць тому +1

      That WAS the after. They actually discuss in the video that people often say that it doesn't look better or even looks worse. It's a waiting game - it takes time for the cleaner to work its magic.

    We are so lucky we have a vaccine against diphtheria now and we dont have to have our babies die of it now. I cannot imagine losing twins.
