The speach of 1968 announcing his Presidential
run is one that's sorely need it today. Thank you.
Tell me about it! Humphrey was a good man.
As a kid at the time, I could never appreciate his eloquence. He really had a way with words.
I liked Humphrey and I voted for him in the 4th grade class election. Unfortunately he lost in our classroom, which made me ask what’s wrong with you guys? Can’t you see he’s the better choice?
Their so many famous people buried there, thank you for all of the work you put into your videos
Yes and if I had two days I probably couldn’t have covered all of them!
Great vid Jeff ! You make'em I'll watch'em ! Cheers !
Fantastic! Thank you, Greg!
@@jbenziggy you're welcome ! 👍
My dad really liked Hubert Humphrey and wanted him to become president. Great video as usual, I always learn something from you.
Every week I look forward to seeing your videos. I'm never disappointed.
I appreciate that! You’ve been with us quite a while now and we thank you!
WOW, that's quite a mixture of graves, all in one cemetery. That was very interesting, and entertaining Jeff. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Beautiful cemetery !!!
Your hair looks very pretty Sarah
Very loving, the way you honor our dead. Such reverence and fairness. You far surpass the others.
Sarah is rockin' that hair, I love it!! Seems the MN trip proved to be like a shot in the arm; the family elixir. ❤
Thanks! Love the comments!
Growing up in Minnesota the first governor i remember was Wendell Anderson, he would do a state of the state speech fairly often. My first automotive job was in south Minneapolis as an oil change tech. One day the customer pulled his car in and sat down and was reading the newspaper while glancing at me from time to time and smiling. When I finished the oil change and he paid at the counter, i was helping guide him out of the building and he waived and i finally recognized him and turned to my boss and started to say and my boss said yeah that was" Fritz"Walter Mondale. I was at that cemetery years ago with a group of people and didn't get to tour it like i wanted to. Thanks for the tour. There is a memorial of the plane crash site of Paul Wellstone and his family at the crash site near Eveleth. Thanks again for sharing this video with us.😊
If you google ‘democrat’ and ‘images’ there’s my parents wedding photo but here’s a dichotomy: Mom campaigned for Eisenhower (my brother stole the “I like Ike” button out of her jewelry box before we settled the estate) and Dad hated Humphrey because he was hawkish on Vietnam. The woman who broke my heart twice is buried there, I still love her. Aunt Glad and Uncle Bark are interred in the same mausoleum as Tiny Tim. Right across from Lake Calhoun (Bde Maka Ska), quite a few friends and family are at rest there. It’s a beautiful cemetery and holds a very special place in my heart. I’m glad you visited, this stirred my memory.
If you went to White Castle I hope you only got coffee or a milkshake, everything else on the menu is disgusting. 🤮
Being that Sarah is from Minnesota, we’ve been there at least three times and we tried White Castle one time and we did not like the burgers or the sliders or whatever you call them. I think we did go to Perkins though and a number of restaurants unique to that area around Forest Lake Minnesota.
Thanks Sarah & Jeff. Traveling about our great country to show us the beautiful sights of America. Love my early Sundays because of your weekly video. Its about History and the Hunters that show the masses it Godly beauty . 🙏🏻👍🏻
I remember Tiny Tim on tv as a kid. The creep meter was broken on him. Enjoy your vids. Swing down to Iowa sometime and do the plane crash of Buddy Holly
And after you visit the crash site of Buddy Holly, drop down to West Bend, Iowa and visit the world famous Grotto of Redemption stone grotto. I farm about 10 miles from there. You could also do a farm video. lol
Thnx for my weekly HH "fix" Jeff and Sarah! Although I don't subscribe to the politics of most of these people you highlighted, it is fascinating to hear your in depth research into their lives! GR8 vid, as always!!! ~Chris
Shook hands with the Hump in 1968 in New London, CT. Excellent video and great research on clips. I like your cemetery approach unlike other UA-camrs. Well researched, profound and honest commentary and especially trying to find good in all individuals regardless of what they may or may not have done right.
So you have really paid me a high compliment and I thank you. The way I see it some of the people that I highlight I would not support politically, but they are part of history and they should not be forgotten. Already have had a number of people comment that they hated the video because I showed Democrats, but there aren’t many Republicans buried there that I could highlight. Because we are so divided in our country people get offended when you look back at historical figures who are public officials because they don’t like the party
I'm not too far from where Mondale was born here in MN :)
Very unusual visits. With many thanks as always. Well done!
Many thanks!
You always open my eyes to interesting history through the graves you take us to. Thanks, Jeff.
Awesome! Glad to hear it! Thanks!
Tip Toe through the tulips .Jeff . do i need to say anything more ? 🤪
Very enjoyable & informative. Always look forward to your adventures.
Glad you like them! Thanks!
Great episode Jeff thank you
I remember when Tiny Tim got married on the Johnny Carson show.
me too..Miss Vicky and Tiny Tim...the only wedding on the Tonight Show, i believe
Beautiful tributes, very well done.
Thanks Kenny!
Tiptoe Thru the 🌷 Tulips was a classic. The song will always be with us. Every spring they pop up and I still hear his voice❤
Hi jeff, fascinating walk through i enjoyed this so much. Thankyou for supplying all the great info and videos. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Much appreciated, Regina May! Has it been getting hot where you are in Oklahoma?
Thank you for showing some Minnesota history. We're often overlooked because it's not convenient to make it up this way and it definitely doesn't fit the definition of flyover country.
Gosh, I love Minnesota! So much of your state appeals to me ... but then again the winters might not be something Sarah could deal with.
@@jbenziggy Truly a beautiful place! So happy you loved it and can share it with others.
Another great video, Jeff!!
Thanks again!
Jeff, thank you so much for all of your videos! They are always very informative and very interesting! Being able to watch your videos enables me to be able to enjoy different parts of the country, especially California, when I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to visit there. Know that you have an avid fan in Oklahoma that greatly appreciates all that you do.
Awesome! Hopefully we can visit Oklahoma one day for some videos. My mother and her parents and her parent's parents all were born in Oklahoma!
Found this all very interesting.Thanks!
I thoroughly enjoy all your cemetery visits videos Jeff, you fill up 15-20 minutes with the most interesting information on people that have passed on. I too remember Tiny Tim's wedding to Vicky and yes thought he was the very creepy ukulele guy. Thanks for including Sarah in this video as last time I wrote, it's been awhile since we've seen her. See ya next Sunday!
I always appreciate a word from Jerry! Thanks, sir. I'd put Sarah in more if she had a desire to appear but it's not always in her comfort zone.
Thank you, Jeff and Sarah.
Always enjoy all your wonderful videos. I always learn something new. Thank you.
So glad! Thanks for letting us know, Cassie!
Jeff, great video. And thank you so much for sharing. I really enjoyed it.
My pleasure! Thank you once again, Joel!
Tiny Tim was a hoot. I remember him well. Thank you.☮️💖🎶
You do a fantastic job of integrating historical clips with the gravesites! I was glad to see the impressive final resting place of Tiny Tim. When I was entertainment reporter for The News Chief in Winter Haven FL, I interviewed Tiny Tim for 2 hours when he was the featured act in The Great American Ciircus in 1985, and found him fascinating and polite! Sincerely, Dan Hogan
I’ve heard that he was a prince of a man! As a newspaper editor I’ve had the privilege to interview Glen Campbell, Waylon Jennings, Charles Pride and a few others.
Great video Jeff! I learned a lot as always. I remember Tiny Tim. I was a kid of about 7 or so. He didn’t creep me out though. I remember Laugh In and him being on it. Hope you and Sarah are well. Looking forward to whatever is next
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is an old poem (1897) by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
I'll be visiting my grandparents' graves next Saturday at our Lakewood in Hughson.
Thanks for another interesting and informative episode. Can't wait to see whose final resting place you find next.
Thanks for filling in the blanks! You taught me something new!
Thank you AGAIN for the Stunning content Jeff and Sarah, cheers
Thank you very much, Zack!
Good to see Sarah for a second! Thank you both for the cemetery tour! History is always interesting to me and you always keep my attention! Great work and thank you for your efforts! -Nina
Thank you, Nina. Sarah will appear a bit more in the next video!
Another amazing journey, Jeff!
Another great look at pivotal figures in our history. I wish we could return to the innocent days of our youth. I shared your enthusiasm as a child for all things like this. But, at my age now I find myself disgusted by politics and politicians. But, back in the 70's, it was different - the mood of the nation seemed different. My buddies and I were enthusiastic and of course the bicentennial consumed us. I still keep bicentennial quarters that show up in my change. You found a ton of famous people in this episode! Any plans to return to Cheyenne, WY? Please let us know and we'll get you access to F. E. Warren AFB for a tour, to include the cemetery on base where German POW's are buried.
You know our country has probably always been very partisan even from the days of Abraham Lincoln and before. I just don’t think we knew that when we were kids. Everything seemed so much more innocent and it probably wasn’t. But I must say that the politicians weren’t as divisive as they are today. And what’s going on with our justice department going after a leading presidential candidate is great cause for concern in my opinion. Having said that while I would enjoy going back to Cheyenne, I don’t have any immediate plans to do so. At some point I need to go visit my father who is down in Alabama so hopefully I’ll be able to do that this year because we have regular jobs that requires us to be home most of the time we are not able to do a lot of traveling, unfortunately. thank you so much for sharing your memories of the 1970s. I treasure them because I think those were the best days of our lives.
@@jbenziggy You’re right - we were kids and back then kids were a bit more shielded from ugly stuff compared to today. Hope you get to make that trip to Alabama soon. If anything changes in the future and you may be passing thru, save some cash and stay at our place. Take care and have a fantastic week!
That was very cool and the fact that you did a history for many of the people was very informative. Nicely done.
I like the variety in this one and the history about MN. Thank You
Awesome! Thanks, Sue!
Most animals live out their appointed lives (except in hunting seasons) to the full, but man seems marked for an unpredictable lifespan.
Always interesting as usual!
Thanks again!
Love your nostalgia videos Jeff
TU
Good stuff as always... Thanks for sharing and keeping history alive!!!
Our pleasure! Thanks for being one of our viewers!
@@jbenziggy Being a viewer is my pleasure my friend!!!
Very thoughtful and well done overview of Lakewood Cemetery. However, you misspoke about the Dayton Family. George Draper Dayton founded Dayton’s Department Stores (Not Draper Dept Stores). Also, Target was not established until 1962, when the first Target opened in Roseville, MN. Also, the Dayton family started multiple regional shopping malls in this region (Nicknamed “the Dales” which created the first enclosed shopping mall in the country in Edina, MN in 1956, called Southdale.
Also many street names in Minneapolis were named using the last names of the people who are buried on Pillsbury Hill in The Lakewood Cemetery. My grandparents and mother are buried here in one of the family plots that is very close to the Phillsburys monument. The Phillsbury monument is one of the biggest and tallest monuments in this cemetery. There is also a Blaisdale monument, and many others. Very large crypt structures also are found here.
Once again good work. Love your content
Much appreciated! Thank you!
When I was younger my Grandparents took me here with my parents to visit our three seperate family plots. One of them is located on Phillsbury Hill, and is very close to the Phillsbury's. Grandpa told me you had to have a lot of dough to be buried here when we passed the Phillsbury mounument. He ment that you had to have a lot of money to afford the tombs or the section located on Phillsbury Hill. I thought he was talking about all the dough made from the Phillsbury flour. Grandpa then said the individual Phillsbury name markers were made to resemble a slice of bread that was made from the Phillsbury Flour. My grandpa then showed me and my parents where he was going to have his final resting place. Both my grandparents and my mother are now buried there. When I visit it is peaceful and quiet. The birds are singing, and when I visit the family plot the Phillsbury mounument is in full view. Also, many streets in Minneapolis are named using the last name of many people who are now buried in Lakewood in the Phillsbury Hill section. The plots there are not cheap. They do a good job with the upkeep too. Too bad you did not show the inside of the Chapel there too. It is beautiful.
I love they way its taken care of
Hurbert Humphrey passaway in the year I was born, he seem like a great Vice-president. Cool to see Dayton, Mars & Pillsbury is bury there in a beautiful cemetery. As for Tiny Tim, while he creep me out, I'm so thankful that he was a christian. Thankyou for sharing Jeff, I've always enjoy watching the celebrities gravesite and learn about them. 😀
I liked Tiny Tim a lot. He was not creepy to me.
Really enjoyed your video it was very interesting x 🇮🇪
Thank you! 😃
We both have a love for Humphrey . I met him in 1968 at Camden, NJ. It's a shame how people would say he talked like , porky the pig cartoon. I was only 10 years old. He talked about solar energy. And just think , we would never had Richard Milhouse Nixon. Would be better today ? I think so. And another AWESOME video.
Very well done 👏
Thank you so much 😀
My late father met Tiny Tim and said he was one of the nicest, humble guys ever.
I understand that he was very nice and down-to-earth!
My father supported and campaigned for Humphrey. Humphrey and actor Lorne Greene flew into our regional airport with the Secret Service. My mother drove a car with my dad in the middle front seat and Humphrey in the front passenger seat. Three Secret Service agents were in the back seat. My father's secretary drove a second car with Lorne Greene and other Secret Service agents. I have the pictures from that day. It was a big deal for our County. This was in Highlands County, Florida with the County seat being Sebring. Boy things sure have changed today with the Secret Service Protection !!!
Thanks!
Thank you! You rock!
Very good episode George Dayton was great grandfather of Mark Dayton our governor my Dad was county commissioner when Rudy perpich was Governor my Dad and Mom had super with him at the Governor house when they come home told us they them baby corn that was the first time I heard of the baby corn have a wonderful week Jeff and Sarah sending you love and hugs
👍👍👍
Great video!
Thanks!
17:17 17:18 I go to Lakewood cemetery and saw most of the graves you highlighted. They had a trolly tour that was fun. Sondra from St Paul * now i finally know where Tiny Tim is , looked all over that masoleum to find him
Sweet! Are you going to pay him a visit now that you know where he is?
My mother is in that cemetery. Bought the plot from her grandparents in the early 80s and just passed 2 years ago. We lived in a turn of the century carriage house next to a large house that was built by the founders of bethel college which is right next to the headquarters of Pillsbury.
Very interesting. That must’ve been quite an experience. Thank you so much for sharing that information. Thank you so much for watching.
I've often wondered if the furniture in mausoleum is specifically made. Never seen any of that size in stores for sale that I recall.
Love this ❤
Great your thanks. I did care for Tiny Tim either. Being a Christian artist I’m glad he was saved.
Very Good. !!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I just realized I am now a few months older than Humphrey was when he passed away. Man I feel old.
I really like Sarah's hairstyle here.
Well I’m 62 and you’d be amazed at how many presidents have died at an age under mine! Crazy! Thanks for liking Sarah’s hair!
@@jbenziggy yeah, but you look a lot younger than I do. 😆
born and raised here in MN :)
It’s definitely a beautiful state and I wouldn’t mind living there except for the winters. Lol.
Love your hair Sarah❤
Thank you!!!
I love History Hunters
really liked Mars bars, haven't seen them on the shelves for many years
I haven’t either! I went looking for them but did not see any. I wonder if that product was discontinued!
The only guy I know that sings soprano. He made us laugh but he was very good.
“I’m pleased as Punch to be here. Well, maybe not.”
THIS WAS REALLY A GOOD ONE. YES YOU ARE RIGHT JORDAN ONLY WENT TO SEE TINI TIM. I REALLY LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU DIG OUT SO VERY MUCH HISTORY. I LOVE IT WHEN YOU DUG OUT THE DAYTON FAMILY. I WORKED AT DAYTON'S YEARS AGO FOR A FEW YEARS AND THEY REALLY WERE A NICE COMPANY AT THE TIME AND TARGET WAS THE NEW CHEAP STORE. SORRY FOR YOUR WIFES LOSS. I KNOW BY THE FIRST PICTURES YOU TOOK OF THE LAKE THAT YOU WERE AT FOREST LAKE.
Thanks. So you sound like you are quite familiar with Forest Lake which is amazing that you noticed given that Minnesota has a lot more than 10,000 lakes!
My in-laws had a house on that lake for years.
Plus the dock you were standing on was just so very long and that is the way they look in Forest Lake.
Most of my Mother’s side of my family is buried here in Lakewood Cemetery.
Awww. So, you are familiar with the grounds.
That's to cool..I work for pillsbury/general mills 😁thank you for doing his grave!
Our pleasure! You’ll like an upcoming video we will do on the milling industry in Minneapolis!
I thought the doors to the Mars crypt looked like chocolate bars. Only got a glimpse of Sara in the beginning, but it looked liked a new pretty hair style for her. Miss seeing her in your videos.
On that visit we had her mom, sister and nephew in the car and they all decided to hang out there and chat while I did my thing. LOL
I share it is good too & larry king actor is cemerty at hillside
I always hear Tiny Tim sing "Top Toe through the Tulips when I hear his name.
I disagreed with H.H. Humphrey's Politics, but he was a true Patriot. May both of them Rest In Peace.
My grandparents are buried very close to Humphrey
My Grandparents and mother are buried there close to the Phillsbury's. When I visit the family plot the Phillsbury's plot is in full view. It is peaceful, quiet, and the birds are chirping.
The Pillsbury Doughboy is a great roll model. ("ba-dum-tss")
Yuk yuk yuk yuk. Good one! 🤣
I purposely cancel my discovery plus and Netflix for months at a time because there’s good channels like yours👍
Wow! Thanks for the compliment! The pressure is on now!!! lol
Politicians were so different back then. No matter which party, they loved their country and wanted to do what was best. I miss those days
Yes they did come together better than today. Today they sharpen the knives for each other. Some even try to jail their opponents if you know what I mean. Nice seeing you and Brad today!
@@jbenziggy it was great seeing you too!
Tiptoe Through the Tulips
always sounded like a really old record
I saw Tiny Tim sing it on Rowen and Martin’s Laugh-In
I was too young to be creeped out at the time
I think Tiny Tim gave a good performance
Everybody who has heard that song remembers that song.
🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Once you hear it, you can’t unhear it! LOL
Nice video
Thanks!
Tip toe through the tulips lol
Bill Goldsworthy's grave is near Wellstone's.
My home town
Nice!
🤗🤗🤗
Tiny Tim was a goofy dude but he was entertaining lol
A hoot to see O. Freeman's grave. Kennedy's appointment of Freeman to the Agriculture Secretary position came after he lost his election as governor in Minnesota.
I was raised on a Michigan farm. We grew white winter wheat. Did you know about the different types of wheat? There is spring or winter wheat along with a different color and shape. Categories include Hard Red Winter, Hard Red Spring, Soft Red Winter, Durum, Hard White Wheat, Soft White Wheat. All are used for different purposes.
Orville Freeman and his pals wanted to put government programs on wheat including allotments and pricing. They decided to let the farmers vote on the wheat referendum. Farmers voted against the referendum. The government put the wheat referendum on the farmers anyway. So much for voting. The prices we were getting for wheat dropped like a rock. I'm no fan of Freeman. Plus, I got a draft ticket to Vietnam in 1967.
It was interesting seeing where all of these people are buried. Do you by any chance know where Congressman Leo Ryan is buried? He went to Guyana to see if the rumors about Jim Jones and his People’s Temple were true and paid for it with his life. I’ve always had so much respect for him.
Yes, he is buried in the Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno and hopefully we’ll get to that someday!
HHH would be horrified by the politics going on today. Where are the people with character, integrity, honesty, morality…?
Tiny Tim was like an ugly puppy that is so cute and friendly you can't ignore it. And he did make a living out of being strange, can't fault him for that! Poor old Vice President Humphrey, he was a good guy, but lacked charisma, he was like a nice, but boring old uncle. In retrospect, he would have likely made a good president!
I don’t blame Sarah for telling you to turn off tiny Tim…🙄🤣🇦🇺
The bird is an albatross
Unfortunately, Tiny Tim had OCD. He had certain 'practices' he adhered to such as only using certain products, eating certain foods, taking several showers daily, etc.
What does takk for alt stand for
Is your wife's haircut?Looks great on her
She did cut it and restyle it! Glad you like it.
