A Forgotten Cemetery In The Rain

A forgotten cemetery in the woods near a newer cemetery.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Anyone who can research this cemetery and let me know some details, I’d love to know it! Stumbled upon this one unexpectedly. The two cemeteries don’t appear to be connected, none of the names match. And there’s too much of a difference in the burial dates. Amazing really.

How exciting! 😍So historical! 👀If u go back would you consider looking at the bottom of the vase? I know it's probably handmade or any markings would be long gone , but the color was still so vibrant & the 163 years ago marker could be read (Altho was probably redone at some point, i can't wrap my head around it being original & exposed to elements) 🤔well, maybe there something under there? Suggestion=get a little tote/belt clip & have a flashlight, soft whisk broom & such things u use to be able to grab'n go.... Than no more fussing wondering if u have everything 😉 😂wonderhussy had a video yesterday that she just made 1=calls hers a bug out backpack, but it's an explorers version. ✌️PEACE 💜BLESSINGS 👼

Hello Side Steppers Wanted to share some I found about an old cemetery I recently found in Athens, GA while on vacation. It is called St. James Baptist Church Cemetery. Newest grave found was 2005 nothing newer than that. All graves from the late 1800s early 1900s. Found at least 5 war veterans. But mostly alot of unmarked graves and no church in site.

[@jrlala4619]

The rain only adds to the beauty of this cemetery!

There was a time when we were not here and there will be a time when we are not here again. Cherish your life, no matter how difficult.

[@foxtrott99]

Very interesting, but sad knowing these poor souls seem to be forgotten. It would be so nice if the brush and leaves were cleared away . I can't believe how old some of these graves are. May they all rest in peace ~

[@annebell7274]

It's so very sad that an old Cemetery like this can just be forgotten about and neglected. Thank God for people like you Robert and friends. 🌺💕🌺

[@IrishAnnie]

The rain is coming down pretty hard now......and you can’t help yourself but to keep exploring. I true adventurer. I would do the same.

[@lauriepalmer6421]

Please come back to this cemetery. I love seeing the graves of people from the 1700s. At least we can hear their names again on this earth.

[@Ocelot1962]

I love this video. The falling rain on the leaves on an autumn day--it's beautiful. The suffering of those people is over. They're at peace in a peaceful place and part of nature. Taking this in makes you quiet. Another good video from Sidestep Adventures.

[@JimBobZee]

The rain sounds good.

[@MichelleJune67]

Always love the graves in the 1700. Amazing to read those old old stones .But very sad it’s in the condition they are in.

[@janzjunk1]

I keep watching these hoping you'll run across some of my husbands ancestors. They were some of the original settlers of GA.

This was an awesome old cemetery, even in the rain!!!!

[@arianneverhagen9836]

so sad to see all those forgotten graves buried even deeper then ever and just forget about them it breaks my heart no one should be forgotten ❤

[@Danette2007]

I love how you actually read the stones. It is the reason why I watch your videos!

[@ghayes6237]

This video tugs at my heart,thinking of the poor people, especially the parents, standing around one of those graves in the rain, while a preacher read the Bible and their loved one was lowered.Oh,how it must have hurt to turn and walk away,leaving your baby out there in the rain . My mother suffered that in 1940 and still cried 30 years later if she allowed herself to think about it. How strong our forebears were! They deserve to be spoken of...thank you !

[@piercedarrow57]

Absolutely AMAZING videos...I really enjoy watching your visitations to these old forgotten cemeteries. You are SO respectful and really honour the people who are buried here. These are human beings who lived, laughed, toiled, Loved, laboured, and lived the Human experience...it's WONDERFUL that you honour and bring their life stories back to new Generations.

[@colleencrane4843]

It amazes me where these cemeteries are how hidden they are etc, but love the adventure of finding them and the dates are incredible. ...Thanks again!

[@marydegenkolb9603]

Col. was born on my birth day, July 15. But he was born 137 years before me. Ichabod is buried in the Beulah Bapt. Church Cemetery in Luvale, Ga. He was born in NC. And had 12 children with Polly! Man he was not in church all the time was he? He was a planter in 1740 and had a large plantation there in Stewart Co. He has quite a history. I am assuming there are no other family or members remaining to maintain this site. On one of your other videos, some one commented a link for registering the slave cemeteries. I wonder if there are slave graves there as well. Those are some of his kids, and grandkids. This cemetery has been abandoned since 2010.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Thanks! Too bad the old church building is long gone. Amazing that the fence around the cemetery is from the early 1900’s! Interestingly enough, the new cemetery appears to be predominantly African American. And while the newer graves are anywhere from the 70’s - present year, some date back earlier. I can’t help but wonder if they chose to bury there because they had ancestors buried there, possibly in the form of unmarked slave burials. Or maybe it was just open land and space for a cemetery was needed.

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Robert, it always makes my heart break to see a child's grave, a Mother should never have to experience a loss of that magnitude or have to see her children buried. Thank you for sharing, it's good to see you wearing orange hats though :). x

Yeah, it’s the midst of deer season so definitely don’t wanna get mistaken for a critter in the woods.

The rain is very soothing. The work you all do to restore history and bring these individuals "back to life so they can live on" so to speak is amazing and honorable. They deserve to live on and not be forgotten. You all are Angel's for the work you do.

[@clayn931]

It would be interesting to take surveying flags out and for example place the white ones on the born dates in the 1700’s, red for born dates in the 1800’s and blue on the unknowns. With the overgrowth and the widespread date ranges, there has to be many more that need rediscovered.

[@cathyorlowski1951]

Robert, Thank you for braving the cold rain to show us this cool cemetery with its lost and forgotten members. It is amazing the old graves from the 1700s is still around and readable after all these years. Great find!

[@sharonvizcarrondo5847]

I really like to see these old cemeteries. I always wondered how they lived. Thank you.

[@mcwatersd]

It seems so sad that 2 cemeteries in such close proximity are not cared for in the same manner. It is rare to see a birth date that early. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤

[@kayesdigginit1519]

Oh wow, right in between thenewer graves. It's weird how, I'm sure it's known to be there yet it's not cared for like the other main portion. For shame. 😞 Even the portion opposite the fenced area is less cared for 😞 Thanks for taking me here. It's sad yet very interesting to see 👍 You and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

Yucca plants were often planted at graves, I saw lots of them without headstones near.

[@lindagreen1105]

Light or not it was a wonderful look at the past. Thank You

[@TS-bn7zt]

That was interesting, whist watching I was imagining the people who attended the funerals there. The grief of losing there loved ones and the way they were dressed to attend the service. Very different times indeed. Some of those graves are so early by American standards it's just an amazing find . I guess it would have been horse and cartridge back then. Here's a thought, I wonder how long before the newer graves there are also forgotten !! Time and tide wait for no man. Many thanks.

[@belleange590]

WOW!!!! These old cemeterys tell a story of he people. Probably many more under the leaves.

Another great vid. I always enjoy your content, and YES!!!Always take the LIGHT with you :) It breaks my heart that the older cemetery is forgotten. It's beautiful and there so much history there. Wonder why it's not being maintained?? This would be another good one for your crew to get onto, if y'all have the time. Get the city involved like you did last time too. It deserves more respect than it's getting and I'd be willing to bet it's not recorded on Findagrave.com. Thanks for taking us along. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! God Bless and Keep you and your family.

[@brendawhite9120]

That's sad how they can disregard the older graves. Wish they would have received the same care as the newer ones. But very interested. Love following you❤️

[@ivo3598]

Brenda White wait 150 years those 2000s graves will maybe end up same

[@noraedwards3419]

I'm certain this has been answered but just in case, if you're in Stewart Co then it is the Beulah Baptist Cemetery. Ichabod Cox was a founder and is probably the oldest person interred there. Several other Cox family members are there as well, including his second wife from Talbot County. Lemuel Cade and Burwell Perry are also likely from old pioneer families. The Cades were quite prosperous in Wilkes Co. during its early days. And part of the Perry family helped found the Republic of Texas. I have found no explanation for the separate cemeteries.

[@maeverobertson1108]

Great video. Looking forward to your return to it for a more leisurely tour. BTW Ichabod is pronounced ICKabod. I know, I know, English is such an illogical language. Oops not English; Hebrew in which case we can split the pronunciation 50/50. ICH would start at the back of your throat. But the English version is ICKabod.

SIDESTEP ADVENTURES Please take a magifieing glass look at: 3:15 !!! Look on the left side where the dark boards are & look up alittle, do you see light figures? Look alittle to the right of the dark boards, see a dark figure? Look in the middle of the picture and look down alittle, see a little woman in a long dress & other figures? Look to the far right in the picture where the dark tree is, you'll probably saw "It's just a tree", but it looks like something else to me, then look up to the top of the picture, do you see faces? Or is it just me?
