Lamont, there were no seat belts in 1953, when I was a kid sitting in the front seat it was your mother throwing her arm out to stop any forward momentum ! 😵‍💫

[@rogerstlaurent8704]

dashboards on cars back in the good old days were made of medals The arm of your mother or father was the early prototype airbag of that era and lots of cars back than did not even have the good safety glass not like into days standards

[@collinsje5]

When I was a small kid in 1953, my father had a rule that kids sit in the back seat of the car. We had no seat belts.

[@tsydnor-johnson338]

My husband still does that to me. In fact, he did it earlier today. I think it is funny since we are both wearing seatbelts. I guess it could mean he really loves me. ❤️

[@11Christys11]

Exactly. I still do it with my grandkids even though they’re in the backseat in car seats. It’s a reflex 😂

My mom did that to me all of her life when she was driving and I sat next to her. May she meet me when I may go to heaven.

Tuberculosis wiped out most of my grandmother’s family in the 1930s and 1940s. She was orphaned at 12 and isn’t sure how she never got sick, when almost everyone else did and died. She unfortunately witnessed how sick her parents got; it was brutal.

Hi Lamont! In the winter of 1952 I was probably about 18-19 months old riding standing in the back seat and some how the door I was standing next to came open and I fell out on a gravel road going up a hill to my grandparents. Thank the good Lord the I only got road rash. My parents said that seat belts weren’t even thought of by them let alone in the car.

SRV was an absolute beast on the guitar. He was a bluesman. It is an acquired taste. He was a big fan of Jimmy Hendrix also. He played some of Hendrix songs. Let's just say Hendrix would of been proud of SRV. SRV had very thick strings. This gave him a unique sound that only he could produce. I love SRV as much as Hendrix. His brother played the drums 🥁 in his band. The bass player was I believe a friend of theirs. We definitely lost a great one when his helicopter 🚁 crash. Good video Lamont. Take care.

I feel terribly sorry for Frank, who was robbed of his car, and of his potential to enjoy other things in life, by some scum for which some soil, a headstone and other resources were wasted for his burial.

[@patriciamontagne1470]

My deepest sympathy for the innocent man Frank, he had a wonderful future a head of him, his family ( especially his mother) lost an innocent son to whom was so well loved, and endeared so deeply. As far as the young man at that time, alobg with his friends may they rot in hell. I feel sorry for his mother who had to watch her son get executed. The streets that he grew up literally took him. May he rot in hell.

Hi Lamont, I really like this format your doing now, walking around and telling us the story of Individuals cause of death, everyone in these cemeteries has a story and and it's nice to know what they are, I think this maybe the successful way to make your mark on filming the walking tours of our countries graveyards. To know about the people as you walk through and look at the markers it's nice to know who they were in life, not just the celebrities and famous graves. I know it must take a lot of research and work to make this type of video, but you'll reap the benefits of your work with many new subscribers ❤

[@ifsaica]

Thank you for sharing these stories. I’ve always feel a sense of sadness when visiting the graves of friends and family. I end up walking around and visiting others whom I don’t know, but I’m always filled with this sense of loss. Most often they are not famous, but they lived among us and they do have their own stories. Watching your vlog, actually gave me a small feeling of closure as you explained their passings. There is a beautiful small cemetery in Santa Paula, California where there is a high number of teen deaths from the 50’s and 60’s. It pains me as I imagine what brought on their passings. As I get older, my visits to various cemeteries has increase since family and friends have now crossed. I’m finding I’m feeling much more fortunate in my appreciation of life. I imagine your vlogs have taken on a new meaning for a lot of us. Blessings, and be safe. I’m Alex from Los Angeles.

Straight on Lamont. TB is still a very serious ailment. Although, much more treatable today. Way back, it was a death sentence. It took the life of my grandmother on Mom's side back in 1947. Of course, I never got to meet Grandma Tulia. Mom was only 12 when her Mom passed. Mom now rests for past nine years, a few spaces away from her Mom and Dad and twin sister, Peggy Lou. Peggy passed in 1937 when her and Mom were only two. Rheumatic fever I think it was. Another treatable ailment anymore, I think.
