Famous Graves in Dayton Ohio: Wright Brothers, Inventors, and Beloved Figures

[@jcombs34487]

Thanks!

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Thanks a million!

[@PTDoug011]

Dave, I am very sorry for the loss of your sister. You could have hung around the grave longer, and told any stories you wanted to about her. We would have stuck with you. It's amazing that you go back every year. Thank you for sharing that with us. You're an amazing brother.

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Thanks Pal. More to the story... mom left the family soon after and we ended up in Foster Care and Children Homes. My memory of her is fuzzy. Thanks for your kindness, friend.

[@kelleefoster2236]

Thank you for another wonderful video. It was so touching that you shared your sister's grave with us and so very sweet that you still visit her.

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Thank you!

I was born in Maryland, have lived in Dayton all my life and now live in Kettering. I used to do a good bit of walking for exercise in Calvary Cemetery. Most of my dead relatives are in other cemeteries, including Calvary, but I do have a few named Lindamood in Woodland. I was walking there once and discovered an uncle I didn't know was buried there, and the Lindamood jumped out at me, lol. I have a high school friend buried there also. My grandpa and dad worked at NCR back in the 60s when we were kids (now completely torn down), and I have great childhood memories of the employee recreation park with double swimming pools and a theater where we had a nice yearly Christmas program back in the day. I worked at Delco Moraine and graduated from Patterson Co-Op High School in 1973; again, both gone now. My ex-hubby is buried in Memorial Park. I didn't realize Agnes Moorhead was buried there. She was evidently married twice and obviously didn't suffer a fool, like the saying goes. Lol.

Thanks for sharing. You sound like a nice person to meet. My Gpa had Bogan Mayflower on Woodman. I don't suppose you heard of it. It's now Lewis and Michael.

[@cynthiamurphy3669]

@@famousgraveswithdiamonddave I'm right now trying to locate exactly where Bogan Mayflower was. Looking mapwise to me and from other info like it was near Research Park and Patterson Road, probably back in there further near Woodman Fen? I've never done any walking back there and not sure I have it right. My sister actually works at the tissue lab near Patterson and Woodman. I can remember when the State Farm was there ages ago before the buildings and businesses there now. She lives in Greenmont Village close by also.

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

@@cynthiamurphy3669 I think you are correct. 1827 Woodman Drive. Close to Woodman Fen. I was only 5 or 6 last time I was in the bldg. Which was 60 yrs ago. I'm sad because I wish I had more memories of Bogan's.

❤❤ My grandmother, mother and aunts all lived in Dayton Ohio. I also had cousins living there. My father a Korean War veteran met my mother in Dayton. My Dad worked at Wright Patterson AFB. I turned 65 in Feb

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Thanks for the info. I too turned 65 in Feb. Did you grow up in Dayton?

Nice resting places for these famous people in Daton Ohio . Good video diamond dave

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Thank you!

[@ot8210]

Great video Dave. Such an interesting array of people and their resting places. Sheeesh, yes Agnes Morehead seemed stuck up for sure. Sorry about your sister Dave and good on you for visiting her grave every year. I’ve been to my wife’s grave maybe 3 times in 13 years. It just brings a flood of memories and reminds me of how much I miss and love her. I know she’s in heaven waiting for us to come home to her and be together forever. God bless you Dave.

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Thanks! And I look forward to hearing from you! Give her a hello from me next time.

[@ot8210]

[@andreadeamon6419]

Ray combs is a little further south from Dayton in Hamilton right off of rt 4. He was in the movie overboard and hosted the family feud.

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Yes, I have him in an upcoming video.

[@andreadeamon6419]

​@famousgraveswithdiamonddave I live 2 mins from there and down the street from his middle school. I miss him every where

[@cherylkucharski5740]

Nice job Dave! I loved that you visited your sister. Very special.

Hi Cheryl, thanks!

[@TheSassy777]

Another good video of famous folks that made a difference in our Great Country 🇺🇸

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Very true, Gary!

[@mskrisclark684]

1861 that is in great shape. Miss yellow pages.

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

I was thinking the same at the time.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks Dave !

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

You are very welcome.

[@shevindudley4746]

I think it would be amazing if you made a Video of the stories and graves of those who passed away in the Xenia Ohio Tornado which many were heroes sacrificed their lives saving others, like a lady that worked at the A&W Root Beer Stand who laid herself over children to save them. There is a honorary statue in front of the Greene County Courthouse in Xenia of those that passed away in the worst Tornadoes in History

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

This is a great idea! I'll do some research, Thank you!

[@shevindudley4746]

Dave you should check out Xenia Ohio which is right outside of Dayton, I'm originally from there, it's a charming small city but it is mostly known for the April 3,1974 for having a terrible F5 tornado which I am a survivor of.

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Cool. I remember it well!

[@cookie4wookiee]

DD, sad to hear what your family had to go through i had a Huffy as well, the high back gave me the Chopper bad ass look.

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

Thanks, Uncle. I think Huffy made mowers too??

God bless your sister's earth life sir. Take solace in knowing she had an automatic ticket to Heaven and you shall see her for the first time someday !

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

God Bless you. I needed to hear this, this morning!

[@montyziebell1077]

Why didn't you give the names of the cemeteries for Ernie Banks and Abe Saperstein? They are not in the same cemetery as George Halas. Ernie is in Graceland and Abe is in Westlawn, the same cemetery as Jack Ruby.

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

A subscriber sent the vids. I didn't ask. Thanks for helping out.

[@marcbolan1818]

Don't forget Timothy S. Bingham

[@janiceavila7119]

Next time you visit your sister, bring some cleaner and cloths to properly clean her grave

[@famousgraveswithdiamonddave]

I did and do annually. Thanks for your love.
