    Camp Wheeler was a United States Army base near Macon, Georgia. The camp was a staging location for many US Army units during World War I and World War II. It was named for Joseph Wheeler, a general in the Confederate States of America's Army and in the U.S. Army in the Spanish-American War. Well done Robert in saying the names of these long forgotten people.

    The other Robert, It is great that you fill in for Robert,, It is sad to see the grave yards that have not been taken care of. My mothers sisters had all of there familys grave markers reqlaced with granite as they dont deteorate like the old limestone. All of the graveyards in that county are maintained by the county.

    A historical marker for Camp Wheeler is located near Riggins Mill Road in southeast Bibb County. The training camp was situated on 21,480 acres in what is now east Macon for World War I, and then on 14,394 acres during World War II.

    Antoinette Lassiter died Sept 30, 1903, the day her infant Annie was born. This wasn't childbirth fever, for that took 7-10 days. I wonder if she hemorrhaged during the birth. Little Annie did not get her mother's antibodies that come with the colostrum, produced the first days of nursing, and that, plus whatever type of feeding she was given, probably led to her aged three-month death. There sure was a lot of tragedy all those years ago. Thanks, Robert O and your assistant, for sharing this with us.

    Thank you Robert for another lost n possibly forgotten cemetery. I have to agree that one area was possibly the older section. It’s so good of you n Robert to share this with others. In giving their names n year of their death. To me I felt some sadness seeing how they pretty much bull dozed that one area where the fence had been all squashed up yet you found the gate. The whole history of cemeteries fascinates me.

    Greetings to the other Robert from a cold 15 degree Morrow Co. Ohio. I had never paid much attention to graveyards/cemetery's until my husband became a supervisor at a large cemetery in which has one civil war veteran in a mausoleum. Where I live there are a few old cemetery's around that has a few graves in them. I was told that when there was a death that they couldn't travel very far with the body do to deterioration and buried them where they could. I live by an old church cemetery that was used for those that lived in the surrounding country side area. The church has been long gone. I'm guessing that give or take about 30 people are buried there. I've learned a lot from your channel. I don't think but not sure if there's any slave graves here. But I now know to look for indentions and field stones for those that couldn't afford head stones or for those poor people that experienced slavery. No one should of been treated so inhumanely that the slaves endured.Thank you for your history lessons. Keep on keeping on my Georgia friends.

    At 17:56 those granite markers could easily be from 1936 and 46. Granite was available back then, just not used as much, depending on the area anyway. But being the same as each other, and the fact that they don't match the slabs, they are probably newer.
    Anyway, that's a neat old cemetery. It's too bad they bulldozed that fence into the woods though.

    Wish you would of stood a bit longer and focused on the Grave of William Miller, since this may of been a member of my Paternal side of my family.. My great Great Grandfather was named William Miller.Robert, you could be right on the 4 or five graves right by the road that the headstones were vandalized and destroyed. shame there was no markings on the slabs. Looks like someone was there and tried to take or like you stated, Robert tried to clear things off and destroyed the markings of a family plot .Also think your correct in the boundaries of the cemetery is that the gate and the old fence, along with other graves, in the far back is the older part of the cemetery, and no one knew where the boundaries were, and really SHOULD be resurveyed, and marked as such, maybe even get ground penetrating there as well to look for other graves, that look to be unmarked. Thank you for all your work on this Robert, greatly appreciated, just wish you would of spend a bit more time on William Miller's grave. I almost was able to read it, and then you moved on..

    You guys need a probe that you can use to find buried headstone es. We took old broom ha does. Cut off the broom head. The we embedded screwdrivers, f,at headed, into the end. Glue is a good idea. Cheap. Effective. A great tool for discovery.
