Very nice and interesting video, Robert. Stories such as these always impressed upon me the uncertainty of life on earth. We must grow in knowledge and seek our Creator. We mustn't worried or fret about those gone before us. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Love from KY 💕😊

from chronicling america website - the Dawson News Wed 9 Aug 1905 "Tombstone Crushed Child Tragic Death of Little Girl in Pearce Chapel Cemetery near Columbus Six Year Old Jessie Wooldridge, daughter of TD Wooldridge was accidently killed in a peculiar manner in Pearce Chapel Cemetery ten miles north of Columbus, Thursday. She was standing on a marble tombstone and a shaft at the head of the grave fell on her. Her head was caught between the heavy shaft and the tombstone and her skull was crushed. She died almost instantly gasping only once or twice after the accident. Her tragic death was witnessed by her mother and a party of relatives"

Robert, I wonder about the practice of using the large flat stones to cover the grave. Up here in Ohio, I have never run into this practice and wonder why this practice is used ? Thanks for your many videos and keep 'em coming!

@cindykaye9735 10 ай бұрын

Growing up in the South, I was always told the purpose of the heavy large stone was to keep any dead bodies from floating away in a flood.

@theOlLineRebel 9 ай бұрын

@@patchesmunchkin this is basically just a box marker. I don’t know if there are special provisions in the classic South, but generally these are only markers and not a grave. They are quite common and very much so in older graveyards. Most are the simple flat top. But they are very common all over.

@theOlLineRebel 9 ай бұрын

@@cindykaye9735. Such is usually true in the Louisiana region, etc. anywhere there is very low ground for vast areas. Most of these are strictly markers, called box, and NOT sarcophagi which are true burial boxes, in this case above ground. I believe these would be box markers and not contain bodies.

Strangers as it seems, something falling on you isn't that odd. Things that should never HAPPEN. In 1991 walking over to speak to an operator of a concrete pumping truck, the boom broke and fell on me, strange I was underneath the boom but standing a good 30 feet to the side. A 90 foot boom has a long reach, it fell sideways. Luckily I survived, but thanks to a fantastic EMTs and doctors at the hospital. I managed to recover.

That is a very tragic story. I cannot even imagine. Then meeting the niece - you have to wonder about things like that, not a coincidence. Interesting mix of gravestones too. Again, showing the progression of time. This content reminds me of something I read this week, "Death is nothing to us. When we are alive it is unknown, when we are dead, we no longer know life." I have thought about that quite a bit. The epitaph on Rebecca Clark's stone reminded me of the quote and then the story of poor Jessie Pearl. Thank you for another excellent Adventures Into History", a reminder that history surrounds us if we pay attention and keep an open mind.❣❣👍👍

@otakop67 10 ай бұрын

Robert, I wouldn't be surprised if the unmarked grave you visited earlier with the disc marker wasn't the grave who's stone fell. If the stone was old enough that the bolts had rusted through, it may have broken in the fall or in trying to rescue little Jessie Pearl. If there were no family surviving to replace the stone, it may have weathered beyond recognition and have been discarded. Purely conjecture.

@Fiona2254 9 ай бұрын

Just one detail, they wouldn’t remove a headstone that weathered and there are many examples in the video of obliterated false crypts still there. More likely is that the marker was wood and it rotted away or that there is stone under the turf. I went looking for my great grandpa with grandma and his marker was gone, we found him counting plots. The original marker was wood and in the tropics those don’t last unless taken care of. Great grandpa divorced and abandoned 5 children to marry another woman and died a couple of years later. His new family clearly didn’t maintain his grave. Grandma was the first of his children to ever visit it.

My maternal grandma used to visit all 3 of the local family cemeteries! She took me a couple of times! I enjoyed the visits while she talked about the ones she knew ! One was the original homesteaders cemetery my grandpa's people used , we didn't go to the one his cousins used ,however There were 2 in town The older one had her family members that died after a hurricane "walked " the coffins and caused a well to be contaminated! A brother and sister passed andwere buried at the end of rows during the early depression! They are unmarked because the sexton didn't make a note and the temporary markers were taken out by the mower ! One sis survived by drinking boiled water from the rain barrel! My grandma was in GA working in a canning shed ! She didn't know where to look. The newer one is where a cousin and my grandparents are buried I used to live near the paternal family cemetery and it had a meeting house that became a one room school my dad attended That became a maintenance shed ! Those grands and my dad n brother and aunt are buried there ! I have never Bern to my paternal grandma's family cemetery! It's on the edge of the green swamp and the town no longer exists since the harvesting of the giant cypress trees ! Needless to say , I don't live near any of them I hope to visit one more time .

Do you ever go to cemeteries in other states? I have a 5x great grandmother who died in Tennessee in 1836, and the family story passed down was that she died in Hardin County, but I know the rest of the family, including her husband, were in Marshall Co. at that time. I was told that there were no cemeteries in Marshall Co. that early, and that she was probably buried in Maury Co. right next to Marshall. It's been my dream for years now to get a van and go out there looking, and cleaning the headstones of others in my family. But with my age and health being what it is I probably won't get to. So I just thought I'd ask if you ever go to Tennessee.
