As a historical reference Samuel Clarke was about 15 years old when John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Imagine being able to participate in the mourning of the 2nd and 3rd Presidents. Now that's history and that's old. You are bringing history to life by remembering and celebrating the deceased. Thank you.
It is always a treat to go into my imagination and try to think of how life was for these people. Hopefully they are all Resting in peace. Thank you for all you do for us. Luthers badge looks like it had war of 1812 on it.
What Amazing Stones ! The Stone from the 1700's ( the veteran) just so fascinating ! Alot of Veterans God Bless them All. I know some Hunginton' s from here in Canada. Your new flashlight is a gem ! Thank you so much for the invite to visit these huge threadings of someone's beloved family beads long gone now today because of your love for those waiting for a " hello " now not forgotten. Thank you sir. - Sue Montreal
I just cared for several forgotten graves of vets I believe at least 5 fought in the war of 1812. I was shocked. Also several from the Civil War and on down. I was just so surprised! Planted flowers of red, white and blue on the graves.
@@nancisailormoy9135 it was endearing to have a one way conversation with them but I felt compelled. I hope you find one and enjoy it as much as I did. God bless
That person was born in the 1700s thats 300 years ago. Wow I love these tours Ron. I will never see much of the USA anymore and I see it through your eyes now. so thank you I appreciate it a lot.
So do Love your walk about so much HISTORY speaking names that haven't been spoken in decade's and the respect you have for the graves as always thank you for taking us along
This is a cool old cemetery. I do like the way the broken headstones were repaired instead of lying on the ground. I am about 15 min from this place. I have another old cemetery for you to check out. It's Fort Hill Cemetery on Rt 120 just east of Fairfield Rd. It was established in 1844. It does have an interesting history to it.
There is a small cemetery located on the south side of Yorktown Mall across from Von Maur, between the road that encircles the mall and Butterfield Rd/22nd St.). It has been there for decades, but hardly anyone has even realized it’s there. Seems like a strange place to have a cemetery, maybe you could find out why it is there. Love your show! Thanks for all the research you do to bring the forgotten to life.
A nice little side trip, Ron. Vets all the way back to the War of 1812. Nice! And some really interesting markers. I would loved to have seen those elaborate limestone gravestones when they were brand new. I wonder if they used a pantograph with a master guide template to make them? I always wondered about that. The numbering and lettering on the stones is so consistent and the designs are not what I would expect from a chisel and a hammer at all.
I love this episode!! It looks like some of the stones were cracked in half and repaired. Anyway, my favorite episode's are just exploring cemeteries with no particular stories!! Thanks Ron!!💛
I usually start between 3 to 5 PM Sundays depending on a lotta reasons and factors, but this one is going to take us to another level of doing something new...if it goes according to plan--a genealogy tour/hunt. 2 families, let go!! see u there.
I can’t for you to go east too. My family came on the mayflower. Look up the boy that fell overboard on the mayflower and that’s my grandpa. lol. I’m excited about 1600’s stones.
Peter Steffens was Dutch.. the stone reads "geboren" which means date of birth. The text on the stone next to him is also most likely Dutch. Alot of the graves have Dutch and German names.
Everytime you're posting a new video it captivates me so much that I'm like hypnotized by all the amazing graves/view/history behind them, so i literally get sad when i realize that the videos also have their ending 🤧💖
Its so sad when the gravestone are getting worse in the years, they are so amaizing and have alot of storys in them. And i amaized when they are going back in the 1700 - 1800, they have mystery`s behind them.
I really love these old stones with a lot of our founding families of America. Can you just imagine what their lives might have been like. Does anyone know how they engrave on these stones after it is initially set? It doesn't look chiseled.
I love looking at all those very old gravestones, makes you wonder what life was like way back then and all the things that they experienced. So much history there at that cemetery, what a great find Ron.
Hey There,Ron. What A ("Great Find,".) Of A ("Good, Cemetery," .) Thank You,Ron ,For Visiting,This Cemetery,And Showing,All The Monuments,In ("Great Detail's,".) Hope You,Have Safe, Healthy, Good ,Travel's,& Journey's,Ahead. Thank You,Ron,For Doing, This Video.,For Us,All. Absolutely,Great,Video. God Bless,You Ron.
I really enjoy your videos! About 30 years ago, I stumbled on a small, but beautiful old cemetery here in northern Ohio. I pulled over and wandered around looking at all the old stones. Some of the people in that cemetery died in the Revolutionary War! I have to go back there one day soon.
I used to love going to Long Grove. One of my favorite hangouts especially at Christmas time. All the great old stores they had there is what drew me. Love this old cemetery. Wow, a stone from the 1700's. That's something we don't see much. Very cool!
Your shows are getting better and better thanks for all you do. About that concrete slab you showed when you started your program. When Napoléon Bonaparte was first buried, he was laid below a plain concrete slab. Nothing was written on it. Because what could be said about a man that had done everything. Later on his body was moved back to France.
Greetings from Philadelphia Pennsylvania here from Chuck & Mary. We enjoy your videos,the background of the people you visit. And respect you show. Well done my friend.
Go to Princeton NJ. They have a cemetery that they have coined the Arch Abbey of USA. Lot of famous colonial citizens and the Mendez couple from California are buried there( the sons were charged with their demise of their parents). Also Princeton University is a nice campus to walk around . Plus it is also a cute little town to visit.
6:47 That one letter is like an optical illusion. I kept seeing how it could be an N or an M. 7:23 Wow the color/age on these stones is pretty. 9:19 Very different. I like the book on top. 12:09 Very different. 12:20 Such old stones in this cemetery. 13:17 and 15:08 This is the first cemetery where I have seen the badges that look like this for veterans. They are so pretty. 15:53 Beautiful with the veterans badges on there. Yes those are really nice names, I agree. Looks like 16 yrs. That was an interesting place. Those veterans badges are really nice.
@@FacesoftheForgotten thanks buddy... I am watching some of your videos now, and with alot of focus on the Chicagoland area I see some new cases to discuss, ill even link off to your channel to. To many cases in the midwest
There's an old Cemetery I'm Route 120 between Cedar Lake Road and Fairfield Road it's in Round Lake Illinois the name is Forest Hill Cemetery. All really old Graves. It's a small Cemetery it's the original settlers from my Round Lake was called for Hill Siri at least that area Round Lake. If you go I hope you like it. Fran
@@bethshadid2087 Oh I guess I missed that one. So sad. I think it was one of his videos too where he showed a memorial for a 10 YEAR OLD drummer boy who was in the Civil War. Not sure if it was his grave or just a memorial for his service but dang my kid is 10!! I couldn't imagine.
I'm a Civil War buff so intrigued by the soldiers and did a quick search. Harrison and Hamden Huntingdon were brothers in the 96th Illinois. Both died of disease during service.. Hamden age 16 of dysentery and then Harrison age 24 from small pox. Edwin Battles 22 of pneumonia. Note: disease claimed more Civil War soldiers lives than battle wounds.
Im very much a civil war buff too. Just one example here of a couple of very young men (among the countless many) who died at a young age - and not even from battle wounds.
Hey Lisa, welcome! Rons vids are amazing and so is the group! Im not sure if youd be interested but he posted a vid a few days ago where he took us on a tour of a Freemasons Mausoleum, which was mind boggling.
@@FacesoftheForgotten I'm from South Carolina and enjoyed your ones..heading south.The stories you tell with history so wonderful to hear and tales of your own experiences.I have always loved the Victorian Era..bless your knowledge.
Pa here, Ive been to n thru South Carolina a number of times (Ft Jackson, Greenville), and like the state)! Rons overall knowledge is very impressive and shows his genuine interest in the subject, and if theres something he doesnt know, he''ll look it up - a lotta behind the scenes research going on too - and we appreciate it! :)
@@johncook8720 I don't know if you are familiar with the Ed Bigham family story from Florence S.C.They were a pretty well off family back in late 1800s and early 1900s that have a history of Ed killing off some of his family members and slaves that worked for em.Nobody I know of has been able to locate the Bigham cemetery.Maybe it's a story and cemetery y'all might be interested in checking on.I would love to see the family graves and slaves graves of the ones that were murdered.Thank you for your kindness.
I always get excited when you say, ' and we're in' so cool. :)

Am I mistaken, I saw three tombstones that said Samuel Clark?

Luther Turner was a veteran of the War of 1812! WOW!

If you would like some beautiful stones go to Spring Grove cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio huge cemetery

I don't know dutch , but it's similar to german and we say geboren also
Very good Dublin Ireland

Amazing that some stones are from the 1700’s and it is 2021! Just blows my mind! Hope the rest of the gang are doing well today!

Why are some headstones broken.
