    Great Video thank you for taking the time to make it. The deterioration of the marble stones is caused by acid rain I have seen that alot

    Hi Bryan. It's a shame her headstone can't be preserved. So many old ones to admire here, but sad to see the decay. Really enjoyed this walkabout, and your on screen "you can do it" gave me the giggles. Very nice walkabout, thank you. Video was a much better quality this time. Deb of Oz.

      Yes, a lot of decay over the years makes some of these impossible to read. Thanks for watching!

    We have some really old cemeteries here in SW Michigan that you could do justice to. Here (near Holland MI) there are many graves of the Dutch settlers that came from the Netherlands to start the community of Holland (little Netherlands) they go way back to the 1700s too. Another great video, thanks for taking me along!

      I do want to get to Michigan and explore some of those. My family is from the Netherlands so maybe I can find some ancestors. Thanks for watching!

    Maybe it's ferboltant to clean the headstones the reason they left fast.
