Can I ask why you guys never carry a larger broom? I know some graves the leaves ect. Have made like a carpet but the ones that aren’t too bad just seems like it might save you guys backs! Just curious! Love the video and it is odd that such a recent burial but it’s so abandoned. So sad..... if there was a little flag marker at each field stone grave like the little orange markers it’d be amazing to see how many really are there! Looking at the video when showing a large area it’s a little hard to see and imagine just how many!

You 3 deserve so much credit for taking the time to help preserve family history!

[@lillypad9960]

Robert, Robert and Cody, I am going to let you know where I am buried, cause I know you'll take care of me.😇 Thank you for all you do. Much love and admiration.

[@tashasmith6179]

Yes, me too. 😃

[@eileenmurphy5718]

You are doing a service to remind people that there are forgotten cemeteries all around and how to show respect for the people who are buried there.

[@cindyhernandez152]

I really love the old cemetery videos, but sometimes they're almost too touching. The backwards S in the concrete "At Rest" stone... oh my heart. Yeah, I got a little misty-eyed. Great job, guys. Stay well!

[@mcwatersd]

It seems unbelievable that a cemetery that has a burial as recent as 2015 should be so neglected and forgotten. The homemade headstones are really touching. That cemetery was a lot larger than I 1st thought. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤

[@lalablack6038]

My grandfather is 85, the summer before last he was talking about work ethic, he said at his age he'd be able to out work these guys these days. Senior Robert give me that same vibe, no stranger to hard work.

[@naenae796]

Thanks guys, again, for taking the time to read their names, especially the Veterans ! A damn crying shame that it’s abandoned! If I lived closer I would come there and place flags.

[@howardwest1347]

Nice to see Cody again!

[@jonmason1955]

Although of no relation or affiliation to the deceased, your respect and discovery of these lost graves is appreciated. By calling out their names you give them recognition once more that they had lived.

[@debranelson1987]

I agree....these guys are so kind and respectful.

[@play4u67]

I too agree with you!!! When you remember someone's name in this manner, they never really die, they are remembered and that's a lot...especially considering that Robert, Robert and Cody didn't know these beautiful folks in life, but remember them afterwards....that's a very special thing!!!!!!! Thanks so much again guys for taking us along with you on these journeys so that we might also pay our respects as well to those who lived with or before us. Be safe & Well everyone!!!! ♥♥

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

I don't think I have ever seen an old cemetery that big. Seems like the older ones are usually kind of small. I wish someone would see this and clean it up for them😊🐝❤

[@vloggingwithnina273]

How does a cemetery where people were recently buried end up so abandoned looking in such a short amount of time?

[@ObsessedwiththeMess07]

Maybe it was already in the state that it is when she was buried, but maybe she's with family so they wanted to put her there? Idk just strange

[@admirathoria0073]

About 20 yrs ago, a local cemetery was shut down due to questionable business practices concerning burials and cremations. It's closed to burials but family members still go to maintain the graves of their loved ones. As the living family members grow too old, move away or stop caring, that cemetery will eventually end up like this one. Sad

[@nyotauhura7412]

It's associated with a church. The church may have gone defunct recently.

[@deniseoftedahl8937]

We need to get you some more flags so you can put them on the soldiers resting places. Thanks for the video. My day is not complete without seeing you three and hearing the crunching of the leaves!

[@Diwondermum]

Robert you might have to go back to that cemetery. There seems to be a lot more than we looked at. Maybe you could bring a shovel and a bigger broom next time!! Great video!

[@mariechosgaire6984]

Hi Robert, Robert and Cody. I hope you are all doing well. 😊😊 I just love these videos. So relaxing.

[@miahbeighley7708]

Going threw comments &Lord they sure can tell you your job.. 😂 let them get out there&take a shovel, take, &give you a hand... Blessings &Thank you for great vidios! 🙏🇺🇸

[@Angels65-m8e]

I wish I could do that

[@lucygray6162]

Miah, ain't that the truth! All these folks crying: "Somebody should do something!" I wonder when's the last time they were in a cemetery, family or otherwise? These aren't urban chemical-grass cemeteries where families pay for long-term grave maintenance. Rural cemeteries depended on the local church or families to maintain them When the old churches and families die off, it's not like that mysterious "somebody" comes along with a tractor to keep the area cleared. The Roberts and Cody ARE "somebody" working to at least uncover some of the forgotten graves and history Too bad there aren't more of them. This reminds me of the Find A Grave people who have dozens of photo requests for family graves, yet have no grave photos taken for others among their credits. "Somebody" else is supposed to do all the work.

[@terrirobinson3876]

I have said that on another video. Or when have any of these people sent money to the tip jar. Can you imagine the back pack Robert, Robert and Cody would have to carry with them if they listened to the comments.

[@scottishhellcat]

@@lucygray6162 you are correct about care of cemeteries. I have found that most young people aren't interested in their own families. Thank God for Robert and his friends for taking care with strangers' graves. It used to be a Southern thing to care for your family plots. I alway hope that a family genealogist that is researching and asking "where are they" will happen upon one of their family members on Side Step videos and take over the care of their family cemetery. I have my "Wet and Forget" and soft brushes ready to work on grandaddy's section. I just have to wait for cooler weather and coordinate with the church as they only meet twice a month. My grandfather is buried in a church cemetery in rural Alabama. It is maintained by the church. Like me, the church members are getting older. I had a discussion with one of the church ladies the last time I was down there about what will happen in the future. It doesn't just magically happen. So I am trying to decide how I can help. Right now I send money (and not nearly enough) to the church. But I realize that when those precious church members can no longer do it, then who will. Another story of a rural area thinning out as young folks seek work in the city.

[@crusmonster1397]

The cemetery where quite a few of my dad’s maternal family are buried used to have a church, & I didn’t find that out until recently. Found an 11-page PDF from Maryland Historical Trust on MD’s government website from the 1980s & was last updated in 2003. There was what’s called “the Old Quinton Schoolhouse” that was a single room structure from around the 1870s and a “Quinton Methodist Protestant Church” that was directly beside the school. “The Church and school have been either moved or torn down, but the cemetery remains to mark the site.” Theres even a picture included of the schoolhouse after it was moved to a farm near the site!! A shame the buildings are no longer standing, it would’ve been cool to see. Thank you for the work you do!

[@claracarter3181]

Great video! I read an article about you 2 Roberts yesterday. You three do a wonderful job. Cody has some great role models.

[@mikedriggers3635]

Gone but not forgotten. You couldn't tell by the looks of the graves.

[@shellystine2989]

I wonder if the stone with "A R" stood for At Rest like the other one that was completely spelled out. 🤔

If anyone in Fort Worth is headed that way I could donate a real heavy vintage straw broom and some sash weights for those that were stolen.

[@gayeyount7948]

Very interesting video. Regarding the one where she was either very old or a mistake my grandpa told of two of his aunts who lived to a very old age one was 114 and the other 117. I guess he knew because he said he remembered them. Then people on that side of my family lived well into their late 90s. Thanks f9r what you do.

Yep, this was a good one n big. Gosh, wish I was single. I’d jump in my car n drive to Georgia n walk right beside you guys cuz I’m really enjoying n loving going to old cemeteries hunting. Unfortunately I’m not single n I don’t regret that but it sure is fun watching all of you. I think young Robert should be the one down on his knees cleaning everything. The other Robert is no young rooster LOL. Oh, want to say how much I enjoyed reading about Robert’s father , Mr. O’Neil carry Mr. Johnson . It was a wonderful story n love the history behind it.

Hi guys, that was pretty unreal seeing that newer 2015 burial there amongst all of the old fieldstones and markers, I wonder why they were interred in an abandoned cemetery or was it still active up to and until 2015 ???.

What are some of the tools you take with you? I found the O Light, but not the grass/vine cutter older Robert carries. Also do you just use a Go Pro or other types of cameras. Sometimes it seems you don't have the tools and need them. Just curious, but if one wanted to document some of the old cemeteries in Kansas, those would be helpful to know. Thanks for all the great videos.

[@kimberleyannedemong5621]

How does a cemetery become so unkempt & overgrown in less than 50 yrs. The really old cemeteries i can understand but this one not so much. This makes me so sad

[@lucygray6162]

It doesn't take long at all in the South. The heat, humidity and rain makes everything grow twice as fast. The thorn bushes can take over in a year, and kudzu...well, we don't even want to talk about that nasty stuff. Pine saplings grow into trees fast enough to be harvested many times over a human's lifetime. You spend most of your life fighting back against the growth, even in a neighborhood.

[@paulcopherjr.9541]

When small family operated funeral homes go out of business or have no relatives to take over, the land and often the records are lost, destroyed or misplaced. When in Brunswick, GA years ago I found many abandoned graveyards. CSA stones could be traced but when people moved from small towns, moved to the larger cities or military or GA Power took the land for no tax payment, the graveyards were inconvienent and not important by the counties, utilities and state. Local church records often get lost or the church is closed down. Church property gets over grown and burial maps lost.

[@joharmon2148]

Kind of sad that some of these graves aren't that old yet no one is taking care of them. The veterans need some flags.

[@lynnebunning7273]

It saddens me to see a cemetery with recent burials to become something so neglected. I noticed one born in 1951 same year as myself. I thought what if that was me & my family let it get like that. That I had become forgotten & unloved. It cements in my mind my resolution not to be buried & have my ashes scattered into the sea. My father & grandparents are buried 100s of KMs so I can't visit. My mum died young & my aunt owned her grave & their fathers. There was a time limit in the cemetery which is up. She has their ashes & I have no idea what has or will happen to them. My aunt is nearly 100 years old & has dementia. All this has influenced my decision. I wonder if those that have been forgotten, knew what would happen would change their minds on how their bodies would be disposed off. Thank you for remembering if only fleetingly those buried. My opinion only but the county or state should be ashamed of the neglected state of neglect. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Australia 🇦🇺🐨. PS I'm sure we also have cemeteries in the same neglected state. 🥺😭😭😭

[@cynthiacronin2794]

I am in Missouri and never saw footstones before watching your videos. Are they perhaps a southern tradition?

[@Pirateforliberty]

Poor families, both black and white, would put a field stone head and foot stone to mark the grave in hope to come back later with a proper headstone. On some graves you will find a headstone that was placed later. One of the things with this you can identify children's and adult graves.
