Hi Nicola, I’m a Robertson. I wonder if our families were neighbors in Scotland?

[@jeepgirl6814]

My Daddy n my Grandfather were 32nd Degree Masons. With them being Masons, I was a Job's Daughter, Bethel 30. My Uncle was a Shriner n lived in Franklin Park, Ill. So I grew up hearing and learning about the Order. My Daddy and Mom were member of The Order of Eastern Star and served as Worthy Patron and Worthy Matron of the Order. Masons r buried with n apron that they kept rolled up n used for their meetings. I'm not sure if it was made of lamb skin or something else. I wasn't allowed to see it until my Daddy passed and my Mom got it out and had the funeral home put it on him. Thank you for the beautiful video Mr Ron and Mr Brittan. Blessings to you both n you both do a fantastic job.

Merry Christmas gang ...I would like to wish a safe and happy holiday to all out there and give a huge thanks to Ron, this sure turned out great....on this venture we encountered obstacles such as lawn mowers, leaf blowers, jackhammers, pile drivers, a few trains, waaay too many airplanes and one huge construction crane and this turned out amazing sir you have really become a pro....one of my greatest exploring moments was captured here when we discovered the Archer-Fischel grave that I knew I had seen many years before and had forgotten its whereabouts, up until this point Ron, myself and my daughters spent weeks trying to find it, even the incredible staff at Rosehill had no luck with the names and dates I was inquiring over......gave up actually a few days before we filmed this too I actually convinced myself that maybe I confused it with some other case somewhere else but lo and behold we found it!!!...its like we were drawn to it in a weird way, when I see it pop up behind me around 20:00 mark it gives me chills.... whether or not the tragic tale is truth I'm sure we will soon discover!.......Blessings to all out there gang the future is bright and exciting

I pray it is a wonderful and happy time for you as well. God Bless and keep you now and always. Happy New Year. When I was a little girl the Shriners paid for me to have en eye surgery when my mom, who was a single parent could not afford it. My elementary school also went to the circus and the shriners made sure that I got to sit in a place where I could see. I was scared and they allowed my cousin to come with me to the area they had set aside for me. My class was sitting higher up in the arena and I was seated with my cousin at ground level. The Shriners are all masons but not all masons are shriners. To be a shriner you must be a master mason.

I’ve been to The House of the Temple of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in D. C. which is amazing! I got in a bit of trouble for venturing off the tour & wandering around, but I was able to charm my way back onto the tour. Happy holidays FOTF family!

[@KimberlyLew]

🎄

[@Austin8thGenTexan]

The only problem with this cemetery tour is that the Good Templars are *modeled* on the Masons, but are not a Masonic organization. Just as the Knights of Columbus followed the pattern of the Knights Templar, they are not Masonic, either. The Good Templars were strictly a prohibition (anti alcohol and drugs ) organization that admitted women, too. They had secret rituals which they dispensed of in the 1970s. And for the record, Scottish Rite Masons do not have to be ethnically Scottish. In the UK it is referred to as the "Ancient and Accepted Rite".

The first grave you went to is a Civil War casualty. The Shield, Forage Cap and Bayonet signifies he was killed in service.

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

ty, right on.

[@matthewfox3163]

@@FacesoftheForgotten You are very welcome. Those types of stones were typical for early war burials. Families would commission these made to show that their sons or husbands were killed in service. The US government didn't have a system in place to bury those who were killed in action in early war. That did not happen until later in the war and even after when they scoured southern battlefields to properly bury the dead. This is what created the National cemeteries. Before that it was up to the families.

[@ohmeowzer1]

Hi Brittan thank you merry Christmas 🎄

[@hh7407]

How exciting to find the graves that you wanted to find and then finding out there are mysteries as well. I hope someone can shed some light on the Archer Fischel mysteries. Why would they not be in the school or the cemetery documents?! The Cumming Cherry monument with the panels and the ground leading up to it being soft or soggy is really mysterious. That would be so weird if there is an underground chamber.

[@flocosta]

PS - Did you ever do a separate episode on the Archer/Fischel story because I would like to hear the whole backstory on it. I never heard of them before. Sounds very interesting.

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

No, that was it. No information available other than what we shared. was very hard to get what we got
