His voice is also soothing, he does a great job with the research and information of the people. Keep up the great job and keep them coming. I found this site today and subscribed immediately. ❤😊
I was born in Patterson Ca. I grew up in Newman, Patterson and Gustin. I have many relativesin this cemettery. I actually enjoy that you vistit cemeteries. These people are forgoten and when you vistit it brings back there memory.
Jeff & Sarah: I challenge you to investigate the story of “Marshall South” he and his family lived, off the grid on top of a mountain in the Anza Borrego desert in Southern California in the 40s and wrote regular articles for Desert Magazine, you can hike up to the ruins and remnants of his home and find his grave site in the quaint wonderful apple pie town of Julian, if you don’t know the story, you’ll love it!
Fascinating tour! Graveyards conjured many emotions. The older I get, the more relaxed I am and the more I can appreciate all the sights and artwork. To me, it serves as a reminder to live each day to the fullest for we don't know how many we have left.
As a young child my grandmother would take me to various cemeteries to look at headstones and always said there is history here. Now I take my grandson and do the same thing. Thank you
I love the cemetery episodes it highlights the people long forgotten that paved the way to the place we are today. When you do retire and do this full time I got a spot for you in Florida to come stay. Safe travels thanks for sharing.
I use to think that checking out a graveyard was kind of creepy but you make it seem enjoyable and knowledgeable. Thank you again Jeff for a wonderful show.
This video really got my attention when I realized that you opened it standing in front of my first wife. Thank you Jeff for bringing history back to life.
It's good to see such a well-cared for cemetery. Places such as this contain a wealth of stories about the people who once inhabited the area and helped to make it what it is today.
Great video Jeff. Nice to see an older cemetery that is well maintained. So many aren't. I too am fascinated by the local history that can be gleaned from cemeteries, and have checked out many. Have you ever been through the old Sacramento cemetery on Broadway? It's probably my favorite. The history and some of the monuments are fascinating.
Yes I have done a video on the old Sacramento City Cemetery! I also plan to go back to do some more! Here is a link to my video there: ua-cam.com/video/0n0p4afktG0/v-deo.htmlsi=tEsOqQO71G9tCE8Z
Thnx for my weekly HH "fix" Jeff! Would love to see you doing this full time!!! Bet Sarah would love it too! Always enjoy your deep dives to those who have passed, to bring them to life for us! ~Chris
A cemetery is a place of historical records. Usually in a peaceful and beautiful setting. Each headstone is a rememberance of those who went before us, a memorial (no matter how humble) to a life lived on this earth. No, Jeff, you don't sound sick! I feel the same way! I love cemeteries!
I really like when you do these cemetery tours and talk about some of the people that are buried there. There’s lots of history in cemeteries. Well done.
I liked this show a lot. My favorite is the old west cemeteries, and the stories from them. How they had life so different than now. Thanks for another good video Jeff.
I love these cemetery posts. Learning about the people who passed. I am amazed at the sculptures I have seen at cemeterys all over. The detail on them is so beautiful. I just find it fascinating how they can make such beautiful pieces! I would be lucky to make a blob. 😊
I had no idea a cemetery in Newman would be that populated considering its current size. Just goes to show, you learn something every day. Another good one Jeff!
I always enjoy your videos and look forward to them each week. When I was visiting central Claifornia a couple of years ago, what I had seen on your channel had helped me better understand the area I was touring.
I really enjoy watching History Hunters . I think Jeff 's commentaries are so interesting and educational ! Thank you Jeff and Sarah , for bringing us your knowledge and expertise !
Another facinating trip. I love hearing the stories of our past. My husband & I wonder in cemeteries. Passed down from my mother and I, his father and him. This past summer, we found ourselves along with our sons and two grandchildren reading headstones and learning local history.
Good morning Professor, 😂, I’ve always been so fascinated by older graves and thought how many family member’s still visit them? Or are great people like you the only ones to visit and retell their story?
in most old sections of cemeteries, I notice that there are almost no flowers left there for the graves. So many of the people that knew these people are now also dead themselves.
Made me laugh! No, I completely understand your interest in cemeteries. Been that way all my life...I was just a kid when my parents took us to her old family cemetery where 4 generations were buried.....way out in the woods where the family home was......found it fascinating...even as teenagers a group of us looked in woods for cemeteries while other teens were doing whatever things teens did at the time... .the HISTORY of cemeteries is so valuable....what you are doing will last forever! You have probably found many graves of people's families that they never knew of......don't stop! You have many, many fans! You should be able to quit your day job soon because your channel IS growing! I know as soon as I get a notification, I stop what I'm doing and watch immediately!!!!! Thank you for doing what you do!
I love the old cemeteries and the stories they tell. I had scarlet fever when I was in first grade. I remember being very sick. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
History is when we came from. Knowing our past is as important as knowing your future plans or present mindset. History was one of my favorite subjects in school. If you were a teacher who knows how to tell a story like Jeff, you had my attention, and I'd learn. Here's hoping you and Sara can spend full-time traveling and exploring. Do school children still go on field trips these days? It would be a shame if they didn't. Great video, as always. Thanks, Jeff.
I think it's nice to bring these people back to today. I like to think that one day, long after I am gone, someone will stop and my grave and think/wonder about me or just pay their respects. I love wandering cemeteries, I love seeing all the names and I too love the ones with photos!
Jeff! If you filmed this episode with your iPhone, the quality was excellent and of course, so was the story. You are an amazing historian and your focus on the valley is admirable. The people whose memorials you visit and bring back to life must look down on you from heaven, grateful for your visit. Cheers!
It's always one of the highlights to wait for your new video on a sunday afternoon. ( I live in the Netherlands ) Thanks for your amount of research you do always. Be blessed and i am already exited for next sunday.
Wow, thank you! Always love hearing from our viewers in other countries! Thank you for being a fan of the channel! It is what keeps me going! Blessings to you in the Netherlands!
Always a great trek with wonderful back stories and facts. Jeff, you are a very calming orator. You CERTAINLY should be doing this full time. Thank you for your time ! Cheers from Detroit 🇺🇲
Thanks for sharing Jeff, that is a very well kept cemetery. I am amazed how well the pictures held up like the one of the 12 year old young lady that was buried there.
All of your adventures, and excursions are always so well researched, presented, and interesting. I ALWAYS come away having learned from the video... Thank you for taking us along, Jeff.👏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻
A nice tended cemetery for a change. I love for you to read the 1800's and before. You can almost picture the time in history. Thanks Jeff, interesting stories.
Jeff, I share your love of history and I really appreciate what you do. I like finding old, forgotten graveyards to look for dim memories of those who have gone before us. Keep up your excellent work, I look forward to each new video!
Hi! Love your videos. Not sick at all. It is a reality, will happen to us all. I love how you show the headstones. You're doing a great job. Thanks for showing these. The phone did well!
Jeff always love to hear your storytelling to hear the back stories of these people. Everyone has a story I have never seen that cemetery. That was awesome. Thank you. Liz
I enjoy watching your videos! I love history and genealogy. I've tramped many a grave searching for my relatives and also to fulfill Find A Grave requests. Everyone buried there has a story. Death is just another leg of the journey. Just an FYI, the Fink grave you visited, Württemberg is not a town in Germany, but a state. My grandfather and his people came from a small village in Württemberg. I live in Chowchilla, although I'm not a California native, so I enjoy learning the history of surrounding areas. Keep the videos coming!
Thank you Jeff for another historical history lesson. I always enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing them come out every week. This particular video could also be a two or even a three part video, because I'm sure that this cemetery, like many other cemeteries are filled with many more stories of some interesting and intriguing people, that lived many years ago. You always do an excellent job presenting your videos in a sort of story book presentation. Thanks again Jeff for a very interesting and informative video. Take care my friend.
Even our present and future will one day be history. Thank you Jeff for another great video. You are helping people who are no longer here, to be remembered, and that is a good thing. Looking forward to your next post. May the Peace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be upon you. God Bless 😊
The cemetery is well cared for, the statures are my favorite. I also like the headstones with their picture on them, gives the living a sense of connection.
What are the things that always surprises me about? Your content is how much interesting history you find in the Central Valley! Cool video,! Thank you!
Jeff’s’ storytelling skills make it very enjoyable, easy to follow along, and easy to immerse yourself into the time and place.
Nicely done !
I appreciate that! Thank you!

@@elizabethgracia6411 awww thank you. You’re very encouraging!
The Ball or ( Sphere) is usually a symbol of the soul waiting for resurrection. Great video Jeff!
i enjoy hearing the stories about people that lived in the 1800s. People who might be forgotten if we don't share their story.
Thanks Sarah and JEFF 😊
You’re welcome kind sir! Thank you!
Thanks for always being here for us, Jeff.
My pleasure!!
People don't realize the wealth of information gotten from cemeteries. You do an excellent job of showing that.

Yay! Thank you! That’s so nice to hear!

I’ve always liked walking through old cemeteries. They are usually very peaceful places. The fancy headstones and history is fascinating.
I totally agree! They are like pages of history just awaiting discovery!
I love the cemetery episodes it highlights the people long forgotten that paved the way to the place we are today. When you do retire and do this full time I got a spot for you in Florida to come stay. Safe travels thanks for sharing.
That's a great idea! Sarah and I tried Florida a few years ago and we liked it.
@jbenziggy y'all are welcome anytime. Panama city is the home to the world's most beautiful beaches 👍
Love watching your vidoes...❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for the history lesson. I love the pictures on the graves. It helps remember them.
Our pleasure! Thanks! I find those grave photos interesting!
Another great video Jeff you did very well with your cell phone! That cemetery is very well kept with some amazing headstones.
My cell phone does a decent job but is l-
lacking sometimes in sound quality. Thank you!
Thank you for your hard work in producing great content.
Thanks for the first comment! I appreciate it!
I loved this latest road trip.
Cemeteries are the most peaceful places you can visit. I am a history lover as well.
Always enjoy your shows Jeff...we look for the newest every Sunday. Cemeteries are full of history. Thank you for sharing.
I appreciate your words, Mary! Thank you!
I use to think that checking out a graveyard was kind of creepy but you make it seem enjoyable and knowledgeable. Thank you again Jeff for a wonderful show.
I can live with that nice comment! Thank you!
Your way of detailing a story keeps me interested. Looking forward to the next journey through history. Thanks, Jeff!
Thank you, Jeff! I'm across the Pond and enjoy learning about people of America's past through your videos. 😊
Awesome! Thank you, Angie!
I think this video is nicely done! The narrative is just full of information. Thank You Jeff!
Glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate the kind words!
I always enjoy these history telling cemetery walks.
My Grandparents and other family members are buried there.
Wow
This video really got my attention when I realized that you opened it standing in front of my first wife. Thank you Jeff for bringing history back to life.
Really? Is that true?
Yes. Her name is Patricia Lyman. I live about 10 minutes from that cemetery. I visit my wife’s grave every now and then.
Another interesting story! Thanks Jeff!
It's good to see such a well-cared for cemetery. Places such as this contain a wealth of stories about the people who once inhabited the area and helped to make it what it is today.

I did notice that the one angel wing was broken after I looked at my video. Sad to see busted up statuary!
Thanks!
Thank you for that!!!
Always good to see a new history hunters episode, and also beautiful California 🍻
I had no idea a cemetery in Newman would be that populated considering its current size.
Just goes to show, you learn something every day. Another good one Jeff!
perhaps there are more dead residents of Newman than live ones now
I always enjoy hearing who these people are.
Gone but not forgotten. Some of these people haven’t had a visit in decades.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hello Jeff, Happy Sunday. Thanks for sharing another interesting story on Hills Ferry Cemetery and the lives that once was. Have a great day!
I always enjoy your videos and look forward to them each week. When I was visiting central Claifornia a couple of years ago, what I had seen on your channel had helped me better understand the area I was touring.
Oh great! What areas did you visit?
Tuolumne County, Yosemite, Sonoma and Napa @@jbenziggy
Went to Benziger Winery and noticed it was just down from the Jack London Estate you videoed.@@jbenziggy
@@jcs3451 my distant relatives own that place. Never met them and only went there once.
I remember that you had mentioned that in a video@@jbenziggy
Very beautiful country, Jeff.
I need to go back to the west. Love the mountains.
In ancient times, (8000BCE) people burried or kept the bones of their loved ones, right in their house. For generations. Good work Jeff.
I really enjoy watching History Hunters . I think Jeff 's commentaries are so interesting and educational ! Thank you Jeff and Sarah , for bringing us your knowledge and expertise !
