Peace and Serenity In This Rural Roadside Cemetery

Visiting an old roadside cemetery in Rural Georgia

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

This was another absolutely lovely roadside cemetery in rural Georgia. Peaceful, quiet. Serene. The green grass glowing in the late afternoon sun. Crows. Rural Georgia, a beauty for the soul.

Sidestep Adventures After watching videos of old cemeteries in Woods, Forgotten, and many with Trees Growing in in them. I have RECENTLY TALKED BY EMAIL WITH A LADY WHO HAS BEEN TO MY FAMILY GRAVEYARD IN WOODS HAS TREES GROWING IN THEM. I can't comment more about where or details. But I -We my family Did Not Know WHERE it was exactly nor that it had Trees Growing in them. Can't tell you how much it means to me that I have found my FAMILY they were Settlers From SCOTLAND for witch I am VERY PROUD... as you can understand I won't comment much more. I have not been there yet as we are all staying home due to COVID-19 but hopefully my family and I will Survive to SEE THIS And to just be in the same place they once we're ? Just lost my father 11/23/19 It's sad he is not here to know I have found them.

Anybody else notice the infant mortality rate back in the day was much higher than it is today? So many infants in these old cemeteries.

[@kunya16]

Somewhere around a quarter to half of all infants died before they turned 1 year old.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Yes very sad

[@kunya16]

@@AdventuresIntoHistory I have so much respect for the faith and perseverance of those who lost children, especially multiple children. Its amazing how they managed to carry on. I appreciate that you find these cemeteries and honor them.

[@crankyyankee7290]

@@kunya16 I live in upstate NY and have a small cemetery nearby with graves from 1776-1906, many children there as well, watching these videos I can see why someone I worked with loved Georgis as he did, beautiful countryside, sure hoping he is enjoying his retirement there.

[@cindylou6084]

I was thinking the same thing! Couples would lose 1, 2, 3, or more babies.😞 I cannot imagine!! I'm always curious as to what they died from. I mean, was it congenital? Like a heart problem? Or was it the flu? Those poor parents!😞

[@bunnydefunct]

Stephen A.J.'s grave reads this little poem, seems to be one chosen for quite a few graves: Nip'd in the opening bloom of youth With scarce a moment's learning given Summoned early from this earth To grace with smiles the court of Heaven

[@claireslater6243]

That's both sad and beautiful

Thank you Alex, for making that clear. Victorian poetry was simply beautiful. Here's another that was used for years on old grave stones that bears printing here: "Look dear friends as you pass by, as you are now so once was I. As I am now, soon you shall be. Prepare for death and come follow me."

[@kesmarn]

Your daughter discovered a real little gem.

I’ve made a little cemetery for my late relatives out of rocks and granite slabs Oakhollow Cemetery, Ireland, 16 residents.

[@OcotilloTom]

Robert, A dozen top quality AMERICAN Made 1st.National flags are on their way to you. Thank you for caring about and speaking for those who can longer speak for themselves. Gunny Tom

[@stubs1227]

Much respect to you Robert you are a young man that cares about history. Eventually we all become part of it. Stay safe Robert and if all possible keep the videos coming brother.

[@bubblesangel555]

Well... well... well, the nut doesn't fall far from the tree! Your daughter seems to have the same intuition, as her dad does when it comes to sensing where the old and forgotten lay, just waiting to be visited again.

[@OcotilloTom]

Robert, that Confederate 3rd. National flag is a rare find. Usually you only see the 1st. National. Like the others it really needs replacing. If I were to purchase and send you a supply would you carry them with you on your journeys and put them out when needed? Gy.Sgt.Tom Boyte, USMC retired Vietnam 65-66/70-71

Your opening video, such beautiful Mother Nature. Beautiful Cemetery being kept relatively tidy. Beautiful weather. Your Daughter has good eyes like her Dad ☺. Clearing the branches, you have such a beautiful soul. A very pleasant and enjoyable stroll. 🌺🌿🌺

[@Pstanich]

I love that you read the gravestones. Thank you

[@TS-bn7zt]

Patricia Stanich Yes I think the reading of the stones is so respectful and tells us a little about the people resting in peace there. Take care and keep smiling.

[@sadiedayz2405]

Thank you Robert for saying their names

[@jeniw8586]

Beautiful opening with the birds singing, gladiola flowers and late afternoon sun. A lovely place. Some other flowers, I think they are called flags. Thanks for touring this peaceful place.

[@marydegenkolb9603]

The PH on James Bryant's tombstone means Purple Heart! SWCA stands for Steelworker Construction Apprentice. Built stuff in Viet Nam. With out the street or county name, its hard to find the name of the cemetery. If you could put that in the description, it would be great especially for the military CSA graves to be honored.

Thank you for bringing the Family's to the Light again. It is always refreshing to see these Older Grave Yards brought back to life through your teachings an hard work in finding the sites.

I love how you go through the cemetery I like to see that old history to a live in Georgia also Augusta when I lived in Dublin Georgia I knew some people there in town their last names were Jernigan I wonder if they are related to these people here in the cemetery I don’t think Mrs. Jernigan is with us anymore she was old lady when I met her she was sweet and kind I have watched your videos for the past three weeks I subscribe to your channel and just love all of them so I just wanted to let you know can’t wait till the next one comes out still watching the older ones wish I could get in there and clean up forgotten ones with lawnmowers and chainsaws that is a shame that they go to waste like that ❤️👍

Well, I wish that would happen to me! Driving down an open road with my family, with grass, flowers, and trees as farrrr as the eye can see. A gorgeous Spring day. And if it couldn't get any better, a lone, small cemetery is spotted in a field. That is the makings of a perfect day! Thank you for always reading as many of the names as you can. Not only does that give them back their identity -- we get to 'meet' them -- but I also hope someone watching will discover an ancestor or two!💗
