It is so kind of you to take the time to honor and restore these seemingly forgotten grave markers. I’m a first time viewer who looks forward to watching what comes next.

[@JeanJetensky1974]

I am a first time watcher and I just wanted to say thank you for doing this. The people in the grave may be gone bit they are NOT forgotten. They were somebody's grandma,granddad,mom,Dad,or somebody's baby. I hope after I am gone someone will take care of my mom,and dads grave.

Boxes of photos and records gone from many floods and other family throwing things away with complete disregard of any other family members. Again Thank You so SOO much.

Nice! I went looking for two of them today and entirely failed. Someone put a request on there and I was boggled… it was my first attempt. I’ve explored cemeteries, but finding graves? Yeah, turns out that’s hard. What’s depressing is seeing obvious graves with no markers, or a stone with no inscription. Should have brought paper and crayon for some of them…

I happen to love graveyards and use to sit by the graves to contemplate life, it’s a great place for it. The moment I knew what you were doing I pressed the like button and then subscribed. Nothing should be forgotten, thank you

[@athelwulfgalland]

My wife used to love to play in graveyards as a child & used to talk to people she could see through the hedge. Everyone said that she had imaginary friends. She remembers the people she talked to very clearly; Though she remembered distinctly that most of them didn't remember their names. (Sidetrack thought; Perhaps the graveyard was once wider & the stones were moved from the graves?) As for your comment that "Nothing should be forgotten," that is a beautiful ideal, but far from realistic & probably the world is even better for it. I got into genealogy when I was back in my 20s, tracking down the roots of the maternal side of my family, trying to learn why my family had the distinction of having a matriarchal in place of a patriarchal head. It was difficult to find because the name was fairly common. However small details that had been passed down allowed me to narrow down who our ancestors were for that side of my family & at last I found the truth about our origins. It turned out that the last of our noble male ancestors had been exiled to the Azores for commanding his troops to flee the field of battle with their weapons. (That's a careful distinction. To discard the weapons & flee was to indicate an inability to fight any longer. To take the weapons from the field of battle was the sign of a coward who refused to fight any longer - but to maintain the ability to make a surprise (cowardly) attack later.) When exiled they were allowed to maintain their rank, so long as the monarchy remained intact, but the coat of arms for the family was permanently altered to bear the "bar sinister" at the crest & to have six white bones protruding into a red field on the coat of arms. All indications of severe disgrace. When I shared what I had found with my mother she forbade me from telling my grandmother the truth behind how our family came to reside on the Azores. That coat of arms is still cataloged but of course nobody uses it. The matriarchy ended after MANY generations with my grandmother. My mother, whom was slated to be her successor in organizing the family, had suffered brain damage as the result of a bad case of pneumonia which robbed her of much of the keen intellect she had fostered all her life for that role. The only other potential successor was a social misanthrope with borderline personality disorder - thus it was impossible for her to take on that role. My point though is that my mother, grandmother, great grandmother & great great grandmother all held pride in their noble blood as well as the succession of family matriarchs. However somewhere along the way someone omitted a big part of the story to beautify it. That can be considered "something being forgotten" as the truth died with whomever was the culprit. True, I came to understand why the women held the reins in the family, because of the male ancestor that failed the family & brought the family disgrace. Incidentally though the family was becoming more & more radical in terms of the matriarch's powers went as well as how men within the family were treated. Today there are extreme elements of feminism that no longer seek equality but rather superiority. On that side of my family it was ahead of the curve by more than 30 years & the women both born into the family or married into it held such a position. More abstractly though much is lost to history due to stories being forgotten, changed, adapted or something that cuts off the younger generation from gaining the wisdom of their elders. This includes the existence of individuals. This is why aboriginal Americans simply refer to their ancestors. Apart from perhaps EXTREMELY noteworthy individuals or within the most recent handful of generations - the names are no longer remembered. Sometimes this is a good thing though. If your great-great-great uncle were a serial ... uh ... euthenasiast(?) ... would you feel that you absolutely had to know that? What about if your great-great-great grandfather was executed for having relations with his livestock or pet? More applicable perhaps is the memory of blood feuds between nations, regions, ethnicities & peoples. Once the reason for the ongoing feud fades enough people on both side begin to question why they were hostile to begin with. Gradually, over time, those old wounds are healed. It is the same with suffering a broken heart. I was torn up terribly over the loss of my first love in the most bizarre, twisted & can't-make-this-crap-up way. They say that time heals all. That's hardly true. The truth is that the memories fade, the actual memory of the emotions fade so as to be replaced with memories of memories which are in no way near as strong as the original, until the day that you can look back & just say; Wow, that was messed up. As where when it happened initially? You were ready to throw in the towel on this thing called life but only stayed six feet above ground level because you didn't want to impart that sort of pain on your former beloved.

[@user-cc7uf9go2w]

Another great day at the cemetery with you; thanks again. As my old partner and mentor used to say "you never know what you've got until you start digging." I found one of those huge bases about a month ago and it was for a footstone. I've seen a lot of cases where pieces that really didn't fit were used so I think that where I live anyway the carvers would often just use/sell whatever they had available rather than necessarily carve everything new. I had another one at that same cemetery where the T slot was bigger than the tab so they just cut two small pieces of marble and filled the empty space with them. Only time I've found that (I removed the pieces and filled in with Lithomex as the pieces were badly weathered, discolored, and looked really bad).

[@millennialstonecleaner]

At least you found some marble is one of them. I found rusty square cut nails in one not long ago. 🙃

[@user-cc7uf9go2w]

@@millennialstonecleaner I guess it's all relative. But it's obvious it was common to cut corners. The ones that really get me are the ones where the inscriptions are very wrong (e.g. deid for died). Why did they accept those and, I can only guess, pay for them ? I can only hope they got a discount.

[@maidenminnesota1]

Curious if that old glass isn't the faceplate from an old Fisk coffin? That would mean, though, that there are no burial vaults, or at least not at that grave. One thing I've learned, is that I will leave in my final statement of wishes to not have a marble headstone. Sad that once those stones are completely gone, so can be, in too many cases, any record that the person existed. That's the true and final death.

[@judsonr1]

I have to believe it’s geographical/environmental too. I have been to multiple cemeteries in the mountains of Colorado where there are still wooden markers that are well over 130 years old. Unfortunately most can no longer be read. Rural cemeteries that aren’t irrigated also appear to have memorials that hold up much better than cemeteries that are regularly watered.
