What started as a rained out adventure turned into a really interesting find. The 3 headstones were pretty interesting. I found out afterwards that there used to be a church at this cemetery. But there are no remains to be found. It’s amazing to think what the cemetery grounds used to look like, before people forgot... teespring.com/stores/the-sidestep-adventures-shop www.patreon.com/SidestepAdventures

Very nice job!! Very respectful. I like it that you spend time READING what you can of the headstones, letting people know that they're gone but not for gotten about. It was very interesting. When I have more time and a new pad I'll try to list by male/female ...born/death dates, then try to see when pandemics/sicknesses my have happened in their time and neck of the woods. Maybe something was going around like TB, or deaths by childbirth. Someone would maybe have a record of the Southern Soldier or soldiers. Maybe that soldier could be moved to a National Cemetary with full honnors.

I went fishing one day and took along my dog. As I was more or less in the middle of no where I just let my dog run loose. My dog was very well trained and had always come when called. That day when I was done fishing I called her and she did not come. I went for a walk and looked for her. She didn't come. After awhile I came across an old cemetery and there was my dog. I called her she looked at me but would not come she was laying down. I thought she was hurt so I walked up to her and saw she was laying on a grave that had a tomb stone that said my name on it and the person who died there died the same day I was born . Very odd

The Bottsford family and the Bottsford town can be found at Newspapers.com also probably at Ancestry.com with articles like the Lutheran synod met there in Sumpter County in 1880’s. George W Thomas moved and died there in 1887. A history of nearby Kinchafoonie River appears in 1888. And 1977 mentions the Bottsford Baptist Church near Plains GA.

Cemeteries are so peaceful , I often walk through and read the headstones, and think about, the people, and the life they once lived.

Hello from Sheridan, WY. I forwarded this to my sister and her son who are really into genealogy. They are LDS and may be able to do something to help with all the cemeteries you are finding that is not in any records if you have not had any luck getting these recorded. I find these little bits of life very interesting and wonder about how they lived and died. We had one just outside of town in one of our little bitty communities that people finally got together several years ago and cleaned up and fixed the headstones. You can see it when you are driving north on I90 towards Billings, MT. It is on the right-hand side of the road just below a rocky outcropping of a hill.

Most Christian cemeteries are facing with their feet towards the east. So that when Christ comes back, the dead will rise to face him in the east. Also graves used to be laid out with the grave at 7ft x3ft with a 3ft pathway. The names would face the pathway. Therefore, like a few have said here already, you're not standing on their grave when you're reading the stone. On another note, most of the stones in that cemetery are made of marble. Once cleaned up, they would be a beautiful white or grey stone. Margret Lassister is a grey granite. Marble was the most common stone material prior to the 1850s. As the railroad system expanded, more granite gravestones started appearing. Marble is around 75#/cu.ft. While granite is around 190#/cu.ft. Marble was cheaper to ship by wagon and/or river boat.

I love your cemetery videos. I like the way you say their names so their names are said again. My mom used to take us as children to cemeteries so always interesting to us. My grandmother was raised Quaker and there is an old cemetery near Flushing Ohio with our family graves. They were part of the underground railroad

Thanks, it’s a GoPro 7. I’ve used it on the past 10 or so videos. Before that it was a GoPro 5.

What I do when going to old cemeteries is take a broom, a large container of water and an old towel, and some gardening hand tools and try and clean up some of the overgrown and dirty graves and headstones. Next time I will get some before and after pics.

Do you ever post to Find a Grave website? All of this info on these graves would be valuable to genealogy researchers. Thank you for honoring these folks in their final resting place.

I utilize the Find A Grave website for research, but I do not post there. Generally the cemeteries I visit are already on there. Haven’t found one that wasn’t yet.
