African-American Cemetery VANDALIZED By TREE THIEVES! Mahone Slave Burial Ground

In a somber turn from our usual explorations, today's video from Adventures into History reveals a heartbreaking scene at the Mahone-Ingram Cemetery. This video documents a troubling act of vandalism that has recently plagued this historic site, a stark contrast to the tales of discovery and preservation that we typically share.
Five months ago, we uncovered the initial signs of vandalism, with individuals cutting down ancient cedar trees, allowing them to fall recklessly on graves, and dragging them across the cemetery, carelessly knocking over fieldstone headstones in the process. In response, we installed cameras and began a vigilant monitoring effort to protect the cemetery. Despite a quiet period of five months, our worst fears were realized when the vandals returned, this time felling a historic oak tree and leaving behind a disheartening mess.
The Mahone-Ingram Cemetery is more than just a burial ground; it began as the final resting place for the enslaved individuals of the Mahone family, with their descendants continuing to use it for burials long after. The cemetery is a tangible link to our shared past, holding stories of resilience, family, and history that must be preserved.
This video takes you through the extent of the damage, shares insights into the cemetery's significant history, and marks the beginning of our efforts to clean up and restore dignity to this sacred space. It's a reminder of the ongoing challenges in preserving our historical sites and the need for community vigilance and respect for our collective heritage.
We stand committed to the preservation of these important places, and though today's video is a departure from our usual content, it underscores the importance of our mission to protect and honor our history. Join us in reflecting on the impact of such acts and the steps we can take together to prevent them in the future.

My husband and I want you to know this is probably the best video you have done. You have taught us history, how to clean the headstones properly. How to stop thieves who should go to jail and have to pay for repairs. We pray they get caught. Thank you and please do more like this. Get people to help you.

[@andrewowens9382]

Robert these vandals have no respect for the dead ,no respect for the living, and no respect for themselves terrible vandalism cutting down the sacred oak tree is going to bring them bad luck, I hope the African American cemetery will have peace in the future, so sad it makes my blood boil 😢thanks Robert for bringing to everyone's attention 😢 all the best Andrew south wales uk 👌 👍 👏 😀 🇬🇧

[@sandib9152]

Wow that is so sad and hateful of those people that cut those beautiful trees bit it's even more sad that it was in a cemetery. Those people do not deserve this disrespect. I sure hope the people are caught and punished severely. Thanks Robert for sharing and staying up to date with all the cemeteries you film. God bless you

[@garysoykin2783]

These people need to be educated. They've probably never ever been to school. And they just don't know and have no respect for the dead crazy world out there

[@restless4400]

This is so makes me so furious. The disrespect to the people buried there and the destruction of those poor trees breaks my heart. Thank you for caring, all the work you did and for bringing this crime to light. Hope these horrible people can be caught and punished.

[@Steve7318]

Thanks for bringing attention to this. That's terrible that people would disrespect sacred land and old trees. I'm glad that you are uncovering this history and bringing awareness to it for all of us. Thank you for what you do!

[@maureenconsiglio6355]

I don't know how you were raised or your past, but you are one of the most respectful people I have ever witnessed! Your respect for the past, history and people is absolutely amazing and awe-stricking! You should be very proud of the character you are building in your young self! You are an awesome individual! 🎉

[@lisalking2476]

He definitely was raised with LOVE and RESPECT 🙏 💯 👏 ❤

[@lisalking2476]

Think in the beginning you said there are now cameras out there 🤔 praying these criminals are caught and at least the land owner can prosecute them and be compensated for the value of the trees and made to pay for the replacement of any head stones that we're broke and destroyed as well.Be safe hunny try to always take someone with you,safety in numbers. Thank you and may the good lord continue to bless you and your family 👪 ❤ 🙏

[@SandyD2022]

Robert, thank you for doing this. As a person that had to watch as the cemetery that my Grandparent are in was sold. The cemetery was sold to a man that though he was going to just remove the headstones, and build a building on the grounds. As a family, and and a few other tried to purchase it, and he won't sell it to us. These kind of people will have to face their maker some day.

[@lisalking2476]

Amen 🙏

[@freyastom2344]

This is an outrage! There are GPS trackers for wood. Leave a nice log and wait.

[@lynnmacleod1879]

Robert your actions go beyond an act of kindness, i can imagine the souls of those departed smiling with gratitude. I as well, will thank-you!

[@lillypad9960]

Absolutely heartbreaking. I'm sorry for the loss of not only the cemetery, but also the land owner and historians like yourself. May the criminals be punished for their actions. Blessings from Michigan.

[@shannon905]

This is extremely saddening. Thank you for helping to clean it up.

[@donnawalter]

Oh Robert this is heartbreaking. I feel like crying for all the people buried there. How can anyone be so disrespectful to destroy a cemetery. The loss of the trees is also heartbreaking. The trees were like the protectors of the cemetery. Those people deserved to rest in peace. Thank you Robert for being so caring. Thank goodness for you and people like you.

[@lavettamoff7883]

Robert,you are a good man. I hope these vandals are caught. Thanks for your hard work.

You are an exceptional man Robert, not only are you in the midst of restoring a 140 y.o.farmhouse, but to give your time to this endeavor is to be commended.

[@coralieg1947]

Thank you, Robert for taking care of the very special place. God bless you!!

[@T-Man252]

Absolutely disgusting & so disrespectful of anyone destroying a cemetery like this. The people buried here deserve better than to rest in peace in destruction. Love your videos and love what you do !

[@brandoncarden]

What a shame! I'm dealing with the same exact issues, I take care of a neglected 4 acre cemetery in Charleston WV. They aren't stealing trees but they are vandalizing the cemetery and our security cameras, I really wish the law would help us more!! I call the police and they say they will go up an look but that's it, I just don't understand 😢

[@lisalking2476]

Community should ban together and file a lawsuit against the police department that is neglecting to investigate these crimes 😳 🤔 best of luck and God bless 🙏 🤲

[@lisalking2476]

Also I suggest follow up with your local news stations 🚉 😉 go on line,social media is very powerful these days 👏

[@TexasSmiles777]

I'm deeply moved by your love of history and respect for nature and the deceased. This isn't even your land, yet you care so much that you call attention to those with no conscience who decimate grave markings by unlawfully removing trees for financial gain. You're spending your own time and resources to clean up this site, which proves how much you do to protect what's sacred. 💗

[@decembergem4598]

Absolutely disgusting what our world has become! These vandals need to be shown the same amount of disrespect they have shown the deceased and their families.IMO

[@albertapatriot3877]

I hope the person or persons are caught and held accountable for their actions .

[@celleduffel1533]

Dearest Robert, this video literally had me crying. Thank you for cleaning what you could and destroying what the vandals value and want. I wish a news service could come out and report on this too. I am glad to see you are being safe and wearing a handgun. My heart is just sick and even tho you tell us that it was once upon a time "normal" to take down trees in a cemetery still did not make it right. I hope the vandals are caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. God has an angel in Waverly Halls and He blesses His angels. Yours shall truly be the biggest mansion in Heaven. Ty hon for what you are doing!!!

[@juliepowell1715]

Makes my heart weep! Thank you all of your hard work. I was relieved to hear you say you were on alert. I was worrying about you. Thank you again. This world is so full of evil. These people as youvsaid have no remorse. I truly believe they will be held accountable by God!

You have a heart of gold. The world would be much better if there were more people like you. Keep doing what you are doing now

[@user-xk1ww7es3g]

I can relate with you Robert. My family and I take care of a Cemetery that has been in use since just after the Civil war. It was, at one time, a camp site for General Sterling Price and the 6000 Confederate troops he commanded. My family were some of the first burials there. A family moved in to the area across from the cemetery in the 70's and tried to take over the cemetery, running visitors out and threatening others. Many , many graves are marked with field stones and they removed many of the field stones and most of the foot stones. After a windstorm that blew over half the trees in the area, they piled the trees from the cemetery on graves to try and burn them and ended up that they set the cemetery on fire. I scraped melted flowers from headstones for weeks. This family also has taken things from the cemetery and even buried their family over the graves of others. I realize our circumstances are different, but I do understand how you feel. I wish I was there to help you clean up. I would bring back all the Wisteria I could carry because it won't grow well here in Missouri and It costs a fortune!! Thank you for what you are doing. 1

[@abbyfromkc652]

THANK YOU for teaching us how things really were in the south and preserving history for future generations. I have always lived in Kansas and a Native American myself. History isn’t always pretty but thank you for sharing and your hard work. I understand the struggle with oral history; unmarked graves; because that’s how Native American culture works. Yes it has changed over time like everything.

[@kathleenmuller306]

I enjoyed it because you made a difference for the folks buried there. The measure of our character is what we do and why we do it when no one is watching, and nobody was watching you this day Robert, only a camera. You didn't have to share your find or your remedy even though you recorded it but, you put it out there to bring information of these types of abuses happening all over our natural wild areas. Thank you for your contribution to our collective consciousness about the abuses some can bring to our historic sites. You're the best my friend. And I'm glad you're carring when you are out there in the wilds and you're alone!!! Be safe! K.

[@TonySullivan-cr6wr]

Robert thank you for caring about the cemetery and repairing what you can. Your compassion and dedication shines through in your actions.

[@susans3266]

Robert you have earned your place in heaven. The way you remember the forgotten is amazing

[@caroleannseaton9178]

You shouldn't be there alone. The thieves might come back to look for you if they see your films and know what you are doing. Thank you for caring.

[@lisalking2476]

I agree,praying the lord watches over him and those that go alone with his 🙏 thank you 😊

[@maryjohnson9506]

Hi Robert. We are watching your video right now and we are very sad to see what was done to the cemetary. People have no respect for anything or anyone any more. You are one special person. Thank you for all you do to preserve these cemeteries. We hope you can get some help the next time you go back. We are hoping you can find these creeps. Again thank you for all you do

[@lorij323]

This just breaks my heart. I don't understand how people can be so disrespectful. It makes me want to cry. All those people laid to rest there, and someone comes in and just destroys their resting place. So wrong. God bless you for caring - there aren't to many good men out there any more like you. That is a huge job, working to clean all that up. Thank you for all you do.

[@user-randi1987]

Robert, you are a kind, decent man. Thank you for everything you did here.

[@teresacorrigan3076]

[@allysonstamand5336]

Hi Robert my name is Allyson I am from Pembroke Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 I am 3 years following you I would like to say I hope you and the police catch these people that are doing this to the cemetery because it is not right what they did God bless and help you catch these people

[@kimk8365]

My house is 121 years old and I have a black walnut tree in my yard that is as old as my house. The senseless actions of people just don't seem to shock people anymore, an opportunity to take advantage of a cemetery that's the lowest of low, I mean REALLY!? I really hope they are caught. Didn't know it was a cemetery, oh come on, people!? Haul, all of that cut wood out of there and sell it. Then, take the money for some cameras or other items to try and maintain it. Again, this is the lowest of low people to do this. Cut it up into the smallest chunks you can, they'll think twice, oh wait they don't think.

[@karenwright8556]

We that saw his first video on this were shocked,still are. You know criminals all have that stupid idea they'll never get caught.

[@phillybob255]

Robert, you are a good soul, God bless you sir

[@phyllismote1750]

I was thinking I was unnerved just watching behind you and then you mentioned it yourself. I was thinking I wish you had someone else with you. Bless you Robert! You are a good man and I look forward to seeing the cleanup on this stone! Stay safe!

[@lisaknell1809]

This is so sad. How disrespectful! Thank you for resetting the fallen stone and for cleaning Jennie’s stone. ❤

[@pamcannam9721]

Oh how heartbreaking! Thank you for sharing Robert and for your kind heart and hard work making it right. Hope those responsible for the damage are found and held accountable.

[@joanbaker7999]

Give the authorities the measuring tape so they can check for fingerprints. Don't touch it anymore. Maybe they can find the culprits that way.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

It unfortunately doesn’t really work that way. But they did see it when they were out the second time. However I do have the tape measure in my possession so if the owner wants to claim it, I’ll hold onto it for them.

[@bettyboop4263]

I hope these people can be caught and held accountable. 😢

[@user-ce9wj4cm2d]

Some people just don't have any respect for anything except their own wants. It's sad to see disrespect for the people at rest.

[@tamarathompsonmoore3294]

I can’t help but be suspicious that it is an inside job, that someone either directly or indirectly associated with the company that owns the land is doing this and flying under their radar- or is benefiting from someone looking the other way. This is so upsetting on so many levels.

[@lovingmayberry307]

Why would you jump to that conclusion? Not right to judge with zero evidence.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

The thought crossed my mind, but I don’t think it’s connected to the company per se, but maybe a hired timber worker who was contracted. However more than likely it’s someone who just poaches trees and has a saw mill. They’re not using logging equipment, but are using what a saw mill owner would have.

[@howardwest1347]

Thank you Robert for taking us along on this sad journey/ Donna Northern MIchigan

[@mickobrien8966]

It’s wonderful to see what you and the team do Robert. The people buried there are so lucky to have you looking after their final resting place.

[@venturesoutside-ht8sm]

Keep informing

[@peggyharris3301]

Self centered people destroying that cemetery for their own greed…it’s disgraceful!!

[@robertburns3014]

Sadly, because of the remoteness and the fact that there is no one around who could report these illegal activities, these thieves feel free to steal timber from these old cemeteries.

[@DD-th2bd]

That's so disrespectful and heartbreaking. Those people that did this will be cursed tenfold the destruction they have created. What they have taken will only bring them misery.

[@sharontheobald9478]

Robert, thank you so much for your care and concern regarding these old cemeteries. It breaks my heart, and makes me angry, to see what evil people are doing to them. Praise the Lord for people like you. Stay safe. BTW: I noticed a ladder. If it was yours, I hope you didn't forget it. Blessings to you!

[@sheiladaniel9348]

This devastation makes me so angry. Why are people so money hungry that they desecrate cemeteries ? As a child I lived walking thru the cemetery , with my grandfather, and he would point out graves of pioneers of our Church Movement. It’s a large cemetery in Anderson Indiana. Love watching your videos. We love the respect that you show to the people and things represented.

[@marycatherinerzetelny]

Not only shame, but no respect for the deceased. Thank you, Adventures into History. Your kindness, dignity to these forgotten cemeteries is deeply appreciated. May God bless and protect you and your associates. 🕊🙏

[@maryanneforden5545]

You're an amazing man to be so compassionate to take the time to take care of cemeteries that have mostly been forgotten. God Bless You❤

[@waynemcquarrie5077]

If a logging company owns the land its one of their guys .it's hard to fell a tree around an area like that. Hopefully they will work with you.

[@JohnMarciaShackelford]

....makes you wonder....

[@Nancy_Schmancy]

Maybe you can get a bunch of guys together to clean it all up in an afternoon and haul all the logs and branches away. Also, that giant oak tree stump that's hollowed could be cleaned out, filled with soil and some perennial flowers planted in it. That would be pretty. I hope you caught some footage of the crooks on your security cameras.

[@donnafischer5647]

Whenever I visit my parents grave I also am visiting my grandparents and great grandparents, and also aunts, uncles and cousins, some day my resting place. (Small town N.Dak)

[@bridgetmuehlberger5141]

What a sad and horrible story. You were right. The people that did that have no respect or remorse or any feeling about what they did other than how much it might enrich their pockets. Might make me a bad person, but I got SO much joy out of every cut you made into the trees that they had staged for pickup. They deserve no profit off of that sacred ground. Absolutely disgusting. If I were able bodied, I'd volunteer to help you spoil their plunder. Thanks for doing it for those lost souls. On a brighter note, from your shot of cleaning around the grave of Miss Jenny Horton, I swear it felt like she was watching you and thanking you for all you were doing for her resting place and that of all the others.

[@jilledenfield4541]

The depth of evil it takes to desecrate a cemetery in this manner is hard to fathom. This goes far beyond mere greed and disrespect. I’ve learned from you how important the cedar trees are in a cemetery, and to destroy that big old one which in turn destroyed the graves….aarrgh!!!!! I pray whoever is responsible is caught and punished to the fullest extent. Having seen your video from a few months back and now to see this…. I am just heartsick!! So grateful you are taking such care to clean the headstone, replace the fieldstones and remove the debris, but I think you need some help! God bless you for your efforts to restore the sanctity of this special resting place. And yes, you should be on high alert; criminals that would do such as this have no conscience or moral compass!!

[@marywright6759]

[@user-ne3yw2cu6c]

The Corporation that owns the property needs to take responsibility to clean up the grave sites and enclose the cemetery with a fence. They should also be ordered by the County to contract a company that uses ground seeking radar to locate all the graves in order to replace the field stones that were misplaced by the vandals.

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

Your a good man, Robert to care so deeply for these resting communities. Nothing but disrespect and greed. I am sooo sorry for what has happened to the resting people in this cemetery.😢😡 Fat lighters are also known as rich pine here in Texas. Daddy was a woodworker and would save any rich pine pieces when he found their stumps on the ground.

[@anniegaddis5240]

How horrible, and how heartbreaking. Those stones are Museum Pieces and I hope that when these thieves are caught, they are fined millions and put into a Trust! A mahor cleanup, and a wall with an iron gate should be built around it along with a huge sign out front showing the Historical Value of this acreage. New trees planted, new headstones along with the originals put back and cataloged, and a small home built for a full time headmaster and protector. That fine money should be enough for at least 100 years of protection and upkeep. Prayers going your way for a loud voice for ALL Cemeteries!

Oh my God this is absolutely so upsetting. 💔 I mean this is why it's really important to make sure all of the cemeteries are protected including the oak trees or important trees, flowers, or plants that's been there for a long time.
