Who Was ANNIE OAKLEY? Grave, Birthplace, Death Place & Statue

[@RhettyforHistory]

Annie always felt women should be as familiar with a firearm as they are with babies. She's a big part of Old West history! It really is unbelievable that she beat Frank in a competition and yet had a long happy marriage. I think that is rare for the time period. I got my love of cemeteries from my grandmother. Thank you both for taking us on the adventure!

[@valmor8431]

We should be so lucky to have a terrific Grandfather as you do .

[@miloquinn2867]

I realize Im kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?

[@keagandanny7235]

@Milo Quinn I would suggest FlixZone. You can find it on google :)

[@cesarmathias9796]

@Milo Quinn i watch on FlixZone. Just search on google for it =)

Annie is my cousin on my maternal grandmas side. I have provided Garst with genealogy documentation. Her maiden name was Blanche Clapper and she had letters from Annie that were lost in a house fire near Continental, Ohio. Annie was a truly remarkable LADY and might be the first American Super Star!! When she passed Frank was in Michigan with relatives. He did stop eating and passed there. Annie was very modest and insisted that she be prepared for internment by another female! The Garst is a fantastic museum with a great Annie collection as well as Lowell Thomas and a fantastic documentation of Ohio! Well worth the time! As an aside, Annie had most of her medals and trophies smelter down and the proceeds donated charity, I think an orphanage. Thx for the great vlog! God bless, Bill, Ada, oHIo.

[@roadrunner381]

Very interesting info, thx for commenting about a great lady!

[@gumshoe5365]

So precious to be with your grandfather...cherish these moments.

[@joanr381]

I was always interested in Annie Oakley's story so I absolutely loved seeing her home and her final resting place. Your grandpa is a sweetie!

[@barberchannel]

I am a (retired) history teacher. I live in Greenville Township (Darke County). Strong research and presentation on our area. Well done. In addition to Annie Oakley, western Ohio has a great deal of significant history. The Treaty of Greenville (1795) opened up the mid-west to settlement, newscaster Lowell Thomas is from here and the Garst Museum is one of the premier local museums in the U.S.. Neat to learn that you are connected to Darke County and that your grandfather lives here.Thanks so much for highlighting our area of the country.

[@MRVISTA-wz7vj]

Living to 66 for a woman at that time was pretty good considering how much harder life was back then.

[@chrismcdonald4819]

Jordan, you’re grandpa is very proud of you. Another great vlog!

[@redsdawn246]

In live in Ohio and didn’t even realize Annie Oakley was born here. Great vlog. Your grandpa is so sweet - and the Maid-Rite sandwich looked delicious.

[@kellygregg8123]

Me and my grandma used to roam around cemeteries too. You look a lot like your grandpa, handsome fellas!

[@KDVoller]

Thank you for doing Annie Oakley, I loved reading stories about her as girl.. We had an elderly neighbor when I was a child that was a cowboy in a Wild West show. I would spend hours listening to his stories.

[@scottieburnett5606]

Karen Voller how cool!

[@leannbrooks218]

Your grandpa warms my heart! ❤️

[@ThePricansaint]

Jordan, great job. Love the fact that you and your grandpa did it together!! Great story!!

[@lorih2924]

Love your grandpa. He’s such a treasure. Found out a lot about Annie Oakley that I didn’t know before. She has always fascinated me. Sounds like Frank was a very loving, supportive husband. Thank you and your grandpa for sharing and for telling the real story about her. You two made my day better. You are very blessed to still have your grandpa. Always great to see him. God bless you and your grandpa and your family 😊

[@Karen.cook424]

Your Grandpa is such sweet man❣️ and you look just like him! I really enjoyed learning about Annie Oakley, what an amazing woman she must have been! Thank you Jordan and Grandpa!

[@scottieburnett5606]

Jordan, thanks for vividly narrating the life of Sitting Bull’s “Little Sure Shot.” To have been an accomplished lady with a successful love life must be quite rare. It’s always a great pleasure to see and hear your Grandpa. 🦁🐕🦁

[@sammychicken3457]

Beautiful country Jordon along with your wonderful grandfather. The scenery reminds me of the Kevin Costner movie, Field of Dreams. Your lovely grandfather would have some good stories to tell, I bet. Love to you all from Adelaide South Australia.

[@ndeep45]

Wow a great story about a simple lady from a simpler time. She must have been in a great deal of pain to decide to pass away in her own way. When I was a child you could still hear elders talk about her abilities. She was a national treasure and I didnt know who gave her the nickname until now. Sitting bull! Looks like a cool sandwich Maderite..!

[@susanboatman7913]

Your grandfather is adorable. Didn't know that Annie Oakley was from Ohio.

[@evytimblin3269]

It is so wonderful to see you with your grandfather enjoying yourselves. You bring out so very informative videos, which we enjoy watching. Thank you, Jordan.

[@cookingartguy2170]

Oh this is so great. Annie Oakley is one of my favorite historical characters, I used to read about her in the Old West magazine I loved in my youth. And your grandpa is great! , he reminds me of my grandparents, he talks the same way. So happy you're visiting him.

[@jodirauth8847]

Love this video. Your Grandpa loves you very much and you love him.

[@JoBraxton3884]

Grandpa is so sweet ❤️❤️

[@sue7011]

You speak so kindly of your Grandpa, you are very blessed to have a long relationship with him. You two make a great team on and off the screen. I learn something every video of yours. Thank You!!

[@pennyenicks7905]

Thank you to you and Papaw! I grew up in Greenville and was always proud of Annie being a hometown girl. When this pandemic is over, make a trip back to Greenville and visit the Garst Museum. It’s worth the trip, and you can get more MaidRites. They’re awesome!

[@devenbeebe6116]

Love it I went to the Garst museum in Greenville Ohio last year on September 14th I even went to Annie's Grave and took a picture of the statue in the heart of town

[@emilygardner4829]

I am OBSESSED with this! I love love love how your grandpa came along. What a memory to hold onto forever! Nicely done Jordan & "Paw Paw!"

[@bonniebrown6960]

That's such a blessing to get see you and your grandpa spend time together. I enjoyed that. I never knew that much about Annie Oakley.

[@raindropsfukushemiaflavore9914]

Your Grandpa is so awesome. He sure looked adorable wearing a shirt of you. You are so lucky to have your Grandpa. Loved this video.

[@Christine-fo3bo]

aww Your grandfather is so sweet. Cherish this precious time with him.

[@brettevans9492]

Love your grandpa. He was so cute behind you checking out the gun lol

[@esthergarcia1373]

I love seeing you with your grandpa.He is so distinguished looking and kind. Annie Oakley is one of my favorite historical figures. Beautiful gravestones, plaques & statue for our “little sure shot”❣️🙏🏻❤️God bless you and your grandpa.Sandwiches looked yummy 😋 too!

[@kimmyhawk5612]

He reminds me of my Grandpa. I miss him! ❤️

[@carolynparton8842]

Your grandpa is so sweet! I love his stories. You have many of his features.

[@lauragee3365]

Your Grandfather is just precious! That vlog was so wonderful! Annie sounds like she was a spitfire and someone who really grabbed life and lived to the fullest. Thank you Jordan for such great details of her life. I love that Sitting Bull adopted her.. so great.

[@jamescox5626]

I loved listening to the innocence of your grandfather.

[@OooBubbles88]

Your grandpa is so cute and so supportive of you. What a great vlog and always love hearing about Annie Oakley.

[@donna25871]

Great vlog Jordan - and it was wonderful seeing your grandpa tag along on this adventure.

[@largohla1382]

Best vlog you’ve ever done. Your Grandpa is the reason why. What a gem he is!!!!

[@mmhthree]

Always neat to see Ohio. My great-grandfather, last name Mahone, worked/retired from the railroad up there. They lived in Waverly, Ohio. Nice to see you and your Grandpa together again. Best wishes to y'all!!

[@momof3m965]

Love the vlog. Your grandfather is a sweetheart and I can see where you look like him. I miss having grandparents and parents. Cherish them sweetheart

[@ohiohiker4301]

Growing up in Ohio, we learned about Annie Oakley in grade school, but you just taught me even more. I enjoyed the drive through the country, but more than anything, enjoyed seeing you exploring with your handsome grandfather!

[@annesantos5104]

I love this vlog, Jordan! So nice to “meet” your grandpa and hear his hilarious story! I’m a big Annie Oakley admirer and learned a lot more about her history through you today. Thank you!

[@jasonfields2798]

I miss my times with my grandma like you have with your grandpa

[@beverlyparrott3890]

Nice video and your grandpa is sweet. Glad ya got to spend some quality time and have lunch to boot.

[@TheWyndrunner159]

hi from wv, up river from parkersburg! your blessed to sill have your grandfather! sit him down in front of the camera and record his stories!!

[@rachelwalter6623]

From the great grand niece of Frank Butler, her urn is with Frank. He did not want to be without her. Frank's youngest sister is my great grandmother who passed in 1959. Great video, thank you!

[@ellennewth6305]

Your grandpa is the BEST, Jordan ... a wealth of knowledge and an all-around cool guy! I love this piece you did on Annie Oakley. As a kid, I watched the Saturday morning TV show with Gail Davis religiously. Nice to know the REAL story behind this fascinating and talented lady. Interesting that she and her husband both passed within days of one another. Thanks so much for sharing this one!!!

[@ms.sonshine8878]

I know your grandpa loved that you spent time with him especially on one of your adventures. Loved this vlog especially because am a big fan of westerns. The little downtown where you had your lunch reminded of San Dimas.

[@richardkingcott6981]

My grandfather who was born in 1899 was lucky to see Annie Oakley in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show here in the UK. He must have been around 7 years old when he saw her. Just amazing to think I had a direct link to someone who saw them perform. Great and informative video Jordan.

[@debbieclark7031]

You're Grandpa is so awesome. I enjoy seeing how much fun you two have.together. Thank you for telling Annie Oakley's interesting story.

[@fozzieatdetourbillnye5514]

Your Grandfather is very sweet. Never knew much about Annie Oakley. Good vlog! Glad you got there after all the airline issues.

[@aaronh5402]

What an awesome time with your grandpa. Every time you do a Vlog with your grandpa, it makes me think of all the special moments I had with mine. Awesome info on Annie Oakley. I would like to have seen her perform. The made-rite food also looked awesome. God Bless.

[@chrishutchinson2297]

I love your Grandpa. He is so knowledgeable and smart. Now I know where you get your personality. Enjoyed hearing about Annie Oakley. It is so nice to hear that she and her husband had such a good and happy life. Little Miss Sureshot. Fantastic

[@m7con506]

Your grandpa is just precious, Jordan. Cherish the time with your grandparents. Mine are long gone and I miss them so much. They are precious.

[@TonyandSusie-MillersontheMove]

I love your Grandpa!!! He’s just the cutest 💕💕

[@paulam1837]

Aww, I love seeing you with your Papaw. I know you treasure every moment you get with him, and we can see how proud he is of you. I miss my Papaw dearly...

[@steveperry921]

Nice to see your grandpa again. That area has such a cool small town farm country look to it. It gives off good vibes.

[@carenclarke6896]

JTL, Your Grandpa is a great storyteller! He appears very sharp, very handsome and so very precious too. As usual you did a great job with your vlog presentation and knowledge. The grounds you covered are beautiful. One time my grandparents came to visit our family in the 1980's and a story came up about some dealings with my distant relatives that involved dealings with Anne Oakley but I never found out about "those dealings," however, I know I am not related to her. I wished I asked my grandpa more questions. I was 17 years old during this time & more interested & ready to go out to a dance than ask questions then. Anne Oakley was a fasinating historical legend. "A great shot!"

[@MiJacFan1]

Very sweet vlog with you and grandpa! The mark of true love from a man is one who is willing to step down and make his wife look good. Hearing how he starved himself after her passing says he wasn't willing to live without her. You hear of a lot of couples that when one passes, it isn't long until the other follows. 'Til death do us part!

[@leopardpixie6614]

The time and effort that went into this vlog, telling us her story from start to finish is what i love most about your vlogs! Always appreciate the time you put into your vlogs, thanks for the great content ❤️

[@sherivanhorsentikihutrv7377]

you are so lucky to still have your Grandpa. Enjoy every minute with him and thanks for taking us on the ride

[@gregsimon9061]

Absolutely love your tours, so awesome you got to spend some great time with your grandfather, precious moments in life.

[@QuadCityPigpen]

Hi Jordan! The wife and I watch your vlogs all the time. We are 66 and I'm from Moline,Illinois. My very first job at 14 was at Moline Maid-Rite #1 I washed dishes and made $1.00 an hour. We live in Adams,Tn. And YES we do make Maid-Rites here at home. Give that fur baby a hug from Bette and Alan.

[@michaelwilmoth1018]

Nice to see you and grandfather having fun together.i miss my grandpa

[@karenstanislaw8912]

Jordan, I get the sense, as you stand over Annie's and Frank's graves, that she (Annie) is truly able to rest in peace. I don't always get that sense. As well, think those two were probably really in love and like with each other, blessed and vitally destined to partner. Terrific, dignified life (Annie). *You bring the sun, fun, and tenderness to/with your grandfather when you visit with him Jordan. I love that you cherish each other the way you do. Enjoy. Thank you for another warm and informative video. Until next.

[@lindachavezw...246]

My husband has a brother and his family that lives in Marysville Ohio. As you are driving down the street, you could have very well been driving in Marysville. Same kinda houses... Your grandpa is a sweetheart. Treasure him Jordan. Didn't know that Annie was born and raised in Ohio.

[@deniseconaway701]

Jordan and Grandad, yes enjoyed the vlog and enjoyed seeing your grandad again Jordan, pleased you got there after your travel fiasco 🤨, Annie Oakley, interesting lady, she had quite the life story x

[@crush41gb]

Your grandpa is great! Love him checking out the rifle at the birth place! :)

[@DominionRaids]

From doing research it appears John ,Annies brother insisted their name was Moses while Annie insisted it was Mosey ,but the census said it was Mauzy. That is where the confusion started.

[@lauraodle5816]

Oh, it's so great to see you and your grandpa out to take us to one of my favorite ladies! Thank you so much!

[@theangendeavor9910]

Your grandpa is a great storyteller I can see where you get that from, and wow you look a lot like him!! I Love the story of Annie Oakley! Never knew she was from there!! I LOVE when you film those little towns where it looks like time stood still. So awesome!!! I really enjoy you vlogging w your grandpa too, he really adds so much to the vlog!

[@liznicolee]

You can tell from all of your videos that you are a great guy, but the way you spend time with and go to see your grandfather and genuinely enjoy his time and stories speaks volumes about the size of your heart. Your so lucky to have him and his stories!! Thanks for sharing him and all your amazing stories and travels with all of us. You're a positive spot in so many peoples lives and don't even get me started on Jah bird!!! Thanks for being such a positive part of my day and so many others!

[@pdxer8895]

Always love hanging with Grand dad, Great Vlog, thumbs up!

[@inotherwords1276]

I'm sure he so proud of you! My grandparents were from Roseville Illinois. Ohio looks very tidy. Thanks also for the United Airlines "customer service" phone call.. It has been so great to see your journey and not all young people are ignorant. But where's Jah... Sally in Sebastian 😎

[@portiamatthews9654]

Great job 👍👌👏, your grandfather is so adorable ❤️ and a great person. He's so patience and understanding in my opinion. I hope that he can vlog with you more because I bet he has a lot of great story to tell. The one he shared with us in this video was hilarious. Thank you for sharing your grandfather with us today. October 03, 2020.

[@peaceandlove70]

Loved learning about the story of Annie Oakley. I remember watching a movie about her with Barbara Stanwick.

[@brucerunner2056]

Thanks for the videos of where I'm originally from. I lived a few houses from the barn with Annie Oakley is painted on it. Jim McFarland owned it when I was there in early 70s

[@tebanjose6928]

Awesome to spend time with Grandpa! Family is everything!

[@wineymomshar9222]

Been watching your videos when I want a refresher, or to learn, or relive a sense of history. Thanks for your all your tours, out of the country and within. Nice to see your collab with Papaw. Love the Annie Oakley story.

[@timsterrett2417]

I just live straight north of brock 30 miles,my step son lives on the edge of brock,small world,I love annie Oakley,thanks for this video I'm glad your sharing her live with the people.

[@armchairguru1921]

That was fun to go out with you and your Grandpa, Jordan. You have a precious treasure in him. I bet he looked like a movie star when he was younger. You can see it in him now. Also, you look like him.

[@hellerjerry]

so nice to have someone to hang out with

[@gileckert696]

Miss my grandpa alot....he lived a great life...told me stories all the time..

[@outsider238]

Such an awesome vlog! I love your grandpa! He seems really cool. I never got to meet mine so enjoy your special times together.

[@debbief5594]

A great and interesting video as usual. I enjoyed seeing your grandpa on this vlog. He sounds like a great local historian. I think you inherited a lot from him. You’re such a nice grandson to visit him frequently. I’m sure he really enjoys your visits and I can see he supports what you do!

[@singleladyable]

Your grandpa is a very nice gentleman.Thanks for taking us around Greenville so we can learn about Annie Oakley.sounds like she had a very colorful life.Id love to go visit sometime and see those places.Maybe by then they will have the museum open again.Nice town Greenville.❤️👍😊

[@happyface4713]

Jordan I love that you are so close yo your Grandad. I was so close to my grandparents on both sides. They were all Mid-West farmers - wonderful, honest, hard-working Americans.

[@tinamiller9210]

I like seeing you with pap-pa. Reminiscing and making memories. Its very special.

[@denesechavez5581]

Very interesting! My respect to you for spending time with your grandpa, he's great!

[@acheartist]

Thank you for taking us along with you and your Grandfather. I lived at the Buffalo Bill Museum, on Lookout Mountain ,in Colorado for a month. I had to tiptoe past his grave on nights I came in late, to get to my room. I always thought about Annie Oakley in connection to Buffalo Bill. His true burial site is contested and Cody, Wyoming claims to be the 'true site." It's an interesting story for sure. Enjoy the rest of the trip. I enjoyed seeing where you spent time as a child. It is a very peaceful, scenic landscape. Never seen an enclosed fire escape ever until now!

[@AnthonyJones-ph3fr]

Hey Jordan,Seeing those Maidrites I could almost smell them .I lived up the road from Greenville in Union City half of my life.Now I got to take a road trip to get a sack of maidrites and stick some gum on the wall again!You should also go to the Great Darke County Fair , Thanks for the memories.

[@jbtharp9965]

Your grandpa is the best. The story about the naked guy in the bay window was hilarious. And he brought to your attention about the headstones being newer. Gotta love that guy. Also, I always heard Annie to be a tomboy, thanks for that informative info. Another great vlog; oh, and gonna look up Maid-Rite for my next visit to Ohio. thanks

[@cherrycolaaa]

Always good to see grandpa ❤️

[@chemistry16243]

I know this area well. Annie Oakley was a very famous person in her day. I have never been to the birthplace site but I have been to her gravesite.

[@randiallen5652]

One of my favorites Jordan! Great job🤗how awesome to have your grandpa with you. Thank you so much for everything you do!

[@taralevay543]

You have the best grandpa ever . It makes me miss mine. I wish i knew more about mine i was young when he passed. Thank you i appreciate everything you do .

[@marshasullivan4074]

Lovely meeting your Grandpa, it is wonderful for both of you to enjoy each other's company. I have a love of cemeteries from my mother.
