Thank you for visiting this cemetery. My nephew's grandparents and great grandparents are buried there. You located his grandfather's grave (Johnnie Ramsey). Thank you Cecil for adding Smut Hill Cemetery to Find A Grave. Keep up the good work!!!!
This isthe old African American cemetery of St. Paul CME church. My family is buried there. Rosie Lee Douglass was my grandmother. The Ramsey's are my cousins. Robert Douglas Jr. was my cousin.
Yes, I do live in the area. However, it would be very difficult for me to walk the challenging terrain. Also, I heard mention of a second cemetery. From what I heard, the name of the second cemetery is Chestnut Hill. The name was chosen because of the Chestnut trees in the area.
@shirleyjacksob6960 may your family and all the others R.I.P. its a crying shame someone doesn't 5ake responsibility for this cemetery. NO respect for the deceased.
I would LOVE to see an old state psychiatric ward renovated. I understand that the hospital that Ellis island immigrants came to have been renovated but I’m not sure if it’s opened yet.
I know it isn't easy to get back into that scrub to show us that hidden cemetery. The heat of the Georgia summer makes it even more unpleasant. But, I want to thank the three of you for making the trek back in there to show us some local history and to remember the people laid to rest there many years ago. May God bless each of you and stay safe on these trips out into the country!
I truly appreciate Robert, Cecil and the young intern for finding my family burial site. Thank you so much. You all really put yourselves at risk with rattlesnakes, copperheads, coyotes,etc. There used to be a team of family members who would go and clean the area. Some died, others aged, and it wasn't so easy to get in there. Also, seeing the grave of Robert Douglas, Jr. brought back childhood memories of his death. I was just six years old when he died. I remember the funeral and he was buried near his great grandmother Rosie Lee Douglas .
When I think of an abandoned, overgrown cemetary, I think of graves that are from the 1800's or before. I was surprised at how relatively new some of those dates were. 😮
The entrance to the graveyard was blocked by a locked gate. My Father, cousins and all would go as late as the 90's with weed eaters ,axes and mowers to clean up. The last time they went there was a fence blocking the entrance. They saw rows of graves with headstones and some with pottery. We are thinking that slave graves are there that was marked by family since slaves couldn't write . This growth from 30 plus years. Also very huge pine trees were there
This cemetery was an amazing find. Thank you for finding some names of the people who rest there. You three make a great team. Thank you for the video.
I’ve been following his channel for a few years now and I have a note book with interesting unique names that he read out on other lost cemetery so yeah, I love this channel too
i was an old woods walker and i loved it but due to health im unable now, i have to watch you young bucks do it and im grateful to ya. never seen a tree like that, totally cool!, i was surprised that those graves are that modern
Excellent camera work, Miss Cordelia! You learn fast and aren’t afraid of anything! This cemetery just seemed even more sad than some of the others. I don’t know why, but it just felt lonely-even through the screen.
This is the most amazing find. Thank you Cecil for bringing these places to Roberts attention. The new intern is doing so good and didn't give up even being wounded by evil stickers. Thank you all. Great team!!
It would be nice if it could be cleaned up and some of the overgrowth cleared out and maybe some repair to the graves that were damaged but it’s so much overgrown vines I imagine it wasn’t easy to find out there great find and a special thank you to Cecil for reaching out to find the lost cemetery
Two things I noticed on this trip...1) Cecil was wired, & it was great to hear him add to the hunt. And 2) I heard none of the typical bird song. Only the crickets & cicadas kept the everlasting company. What's next for this cemetery?
Marshall Sandars born 2-31-1899 to 2-5-62 was different because Feb. can only have 28 or 29 days depending on leap year. Thank you Robert and Cecil for your hard work in finding these graves.
Thank you for sharing this. My grandparents and uncle bury in this cemetery. Willie Joe Faniel and Thelma Faniel my grandparents and Leonidas Faniel my uncle. My grandma last name was misspelled. Awesome documentary!!
Bless you for searching the backwoods for history that has been lost to "progress," i.e. logging, home development, or abandonment. I couldn't do anything like this in the SE US in the summer, due to poison ivy, chiggers, ticks, not to mention the heat, snakes, mosquitoes. Thank you for posting these videos.
Really something about that big drop off! I didn't know that Georgia had anything that steep 😊! People are saying you should go back in winter because you could see things better, no leaves. Only thing is the thorns will still be there! Cordelia did great! She's no whine baby about things like being stuck by thorns or bugs flying around her face! I never heard you or Cecil give an estimate of how many graves are probably there. Many, many.....
I love the way this channel gives an opportunity for everyone to contribute if they know something. Bet you made those who made comments about their ancestors buried there very happy! I know I couldn't get through all that overgrowth -- and I'm not really that old.
Goodness, yet another forgotten cemetery. Sure is overgrown. So glad you found as many gravestones you did. First time I'd ever seen tile scraps used for headstones. Very unique. Those 2 trees growing together was cool! Yep, that was a big slug! I stepped on one barefoot once. Not that big, tho.😄 Yes, it was as icky as it sounds!🥴 Well, your Camera Girl did a good job keeping up with you guys. Getting snagged on thorns was probably in the job description so it's all good.😁
The lady whose headstone said her death date was Nov. 26, 1955 spooked me. As she was in the process of dying, my mother was laboring, giving birth to me. I was born Nov. 27, 1955 in Macon, Ga. !
And so life goes on, Gloria! If we honor those who came before us, we can walk with our heads high! It doesn't matter who came before us, but that we move forward for them, straight and strong!😊
That’s such a beautiful feeling. Remember that it didn’t spook you. It spoke to you 💗 I walk around cemeteries & just cry. Not sadness. But I feel them
Robert, DET is the abbreviation for Detachment. Again, I'm amazed what you find, where, and how. Seeing Veterans graves lost in place and time is a sad sight.
Amazing to think of mourners finding gravesites using that big distinctive tree! As always I’m so impressed with the dignity and respect you show these sacred places and the folks laid to rest there.
Hi Robert! What a cool video this was! You and Cecil find so many places in dire need of documenting and I can't thank you enough for that. Two things that puzzled you caught my eye too. After staring at the handwritten marker for a bit, I think it was Francie or Francis Douglas. I think they kind of ran out of room to write Douglas well but I caught enough of the letters plus there are Douglas family in the cemetery, so that's my guess. The other was the military marker for Pvt. James Jackson. I know from my history studies that the Sanitary Corps is the name for the group that follows the doctors, nurses and other medical personnel around the battlefields prior to WWII. Most have training for helping the wounded but are actually there to keep the trained medical staff in full operational mode. But like you, the DET after that had me wondering! After a bit of research, I put together that Private Jackson, who worked at a headquarters, possibly a mobile one, was probably assigned to the Colonel of the Medical Unit and helped move and set up equipment or helped planned how to do this. DET = Departmental Equipment Transport. If I'm right, he helped to move everything from records and housing for the Medical Unit to the actual medical equipment used in saving the lives of countless wounded soldiers in WWI. Possibly even the wounded themselves as personnel ran short at the end of the war. This was a vital service to our soldiers as the medical staff couldn't function without their help! I appreciate you guys finding these folks that worked so hard to keep this country free, as well as all those who are lost but may not be forgotten! Y'all take care now! 😊
@@JohnMarciaShackelford thank you. If you're familiar with the old TV series M.A.S.H., he would've been like Radar. I wanted to put that in the answer but it was running way too long already.
How amazing is Queen Elizabeth Williams headstone, her birth year (1954) is the year our (deceased) monarch Queen Elizabeth II was crowned queen of the commonwealth, hello from Australia 🇦🇺
Whoever did the Damage, really needs to Take Responsibility! They messed with a Graveyard, maybe more then one. What they did was Wrong! & Something should be done about it. I can't believe such disrespect & Worse. Thanks that you guys care.
Unbelievable how tucked away that cemetery was! I cringed watching you all getting poked and scratched. A good first outing for the intern. I enjoyed it.
Kind of sorry that happened just over 50 years ago. Someone should have been out scouting that area before any damage could be done. Thank you for finding the lost graves.
As a genealogist it might be a good idea if you take the information that you found in the cemetery and put it up on like find a grave. Who knows there might be family that's actually looking for this information that it by it being up on Find a grave you're going to help them for their research. I felt so off the sofa when I saw the first name that you uncovered because Sanders is a family name in my own family tree so I don't know if the person you uncovered is a member of my family or not. I want to personally thank you for doing this. The headstones that don't have anything on them like we did have stuff on them at one time and it just wore away as time went on. Weather and whatnot probably eroded it away.
Great find! You three had to weather the jungle but found many cemeteries, field stone markers and relics. Maybe in the winter once some of the growth dies down you could find the ruins. Thanks for sharing.
That's a very big cemetary, thank s to you three for covering so much area to document and share what you saw there. Sad, no one has visited in a long time.
sad to see it in such condition given that some of the burial were in the 70's ...not even 50 years ago :( so very sad... it know its been lost an forgotten.
Nice find! With all newbees doing camera work, they tend to point the camera high. When you point to something on the ground, all we see is your hand and not the article you're pointing at. Your videos are great! Thanks
I have been watching your channel for a while. Very interesting videos. But, that cedar tree growing through the pine tree beats anything I have ever seen. I've spent a lot of time in the woods and have never seen anything like that. Thank you and keep the good videos coming.
Hey Robert, On the Elizabeth Williams grave stone you probably didn’t notice it but it had the Miss . Queen, like they abbreviated Mississippi. So maybe it was Mississippi Queen, it might be helpful getting more information on the cemetery.Another excellent video Robert,Thank you.
This cemetery seems almost lost. So wonderful you were able to find it and to share this part of your local history. I believe the name on the handwritten stone that you were not able to read was Francis Douge.
James (actually name is Game) Jackson was my grandfather ❤ I cried because this is my first time seeing his burial marker. Thanks from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Love , Love these adventures . The amazing history . Can't help but want to learn more about the community. Hope some family find their relatives especially military. The personable names.. Thank-You ❤P.S. How would we have seen the fab double cedar
I think i would do that in the winter time so I could navigate and see better. Too much brush and green , briars. Would be much easier in the winter. Its unbelievable that nobody tries to maintain these places with so many graves there.
To die completely, a person must not only forget but be forgotten, and he who is not forgotten is not dead. -SAMUEL BUTLER My mother always said that if you want to know the history of a place go to the cemetery. Where ever she went she liked to visit the cemetery. Sometimes I would accompany her. Now I do the same thing.
Amazing find out in the woods. Before Cecil found it, it was not listed anywhere.

Wow! Good to know! Do you still live in the area?
Great for you that the guys found it and spoke the names. If you live close by maybe Robert could take you there.
Yes, I do live in the area. However, it would be very difficult for me to walk the challenging terrain. Also, I heard mention of a second cemetery. From what I heard, the name of the second cemetery is Chestnut Hill. The name was chosen because of the Chestnut trees in the area.
There is no Feb 31st. Possibly 12-31?

Breaks my heart that Georgia seems to have so many "lost/forgotten" cemeteries.
It's not just Georgia.

Me too.
Hi Scott 😊
Love your videos thank you for sharing.
No 31st in February Robert.‘I think that read 12 31. Love your show
I think that first marked grave you found was Dec. 31st not Feb. What a huge cemetery though!
Yup
Good thing you had some light, it was dark in there. ✝Thanks for the look see. 💗from Ky.
Nice find! With all newbees doing camera work, they tend to point the camera high. When you point to something on the ground, all we see is your hand and not the article you're pointing at. Your videos are great! Thanks

Those loggers need to pay for all that damage! Be careful of snakes Robert!😊
I couldn't rest at night as a logger. Especially running equipment over graves
That’s one amazing place thank you for sharing 😮
Nice cemetery with all forgotten history but you and Cecil keep it documented.
I have been watching your channel for a while. Very interesting videos. But, that cedar tree growing through the pine tree beats anything I have ever seen. I've spent a lot of time in the woods and have never seen anything like that. Thank you and keep the good videos coming.
Hey Robert, On the Elizabeth Williams grave stone you probably didn’t notice it but it had the Miss . Queen, like they abbreviated Mississippi. So maybe it was Mississippi Queen, it might be helpful getting more information on the cemetery.Another excellent video Robert,Thank you.
Amazing find. Y’all are amazing for documenting these places ❤️
I love your channel. Your curiosity and the effort you put into quenching is amazing. Your fan from India
This cemetery seems almost lost. So wonderful you were able to find it and to share this part of your local history. I believe the name on the handwritten stone that you were not able to read was Francis Douge.
Thank you boys and girl for sharing. That was a hike to find
I enjoy your videos and hidden finds. Wish I had more time to take an Adventure in History!

Hello from rocky mid-coat Maine, US.
wow this was amazing! I love the hand engraved stones, so much more personal. Did Cecil get his brush back? lol
The stone for Sandars at 3:39----Feb 31? This was an amazing find.
Thanks!
Thank YOU!
Love , Love these adventures . The amazing history . Can't help but want to learn more about the community. Hope some family find their relatives especially military. The personable names.. Thank-You ❤P.S. How would we have seen the fab double cedar
I think they said the cedar grew through an oak.
Thanks for sharing this adventure and y'all watch out for snakes
Fascinating
Thanks for another cemetery discovery! I would have passed out in this heat, I sweat more than you LOL
Robert needs a sweatband or to take a handkerchief with him or something!
I think i would do that in the winter time so I could navigate and see better. Too much brush and green , briars. Would be much easier in the winter. Its unbelievable that nobody tries to maintain these places with so many graves there.
I'm surprised it's abandoned because of the 1972 buriel.
Yeah, I really was surprised how “new” they were too
A lot changes in 50 years.
@@redrooster1908yes, not always good though 😢
The first marker you read, said February 31 was there a February 31 back then. Marshall Sandars February 31, 1899 February 5, 1962.

this is so cool! What a hike..
