Love all history you put up after every grave and pics they put face to the story of the ones that they have ty. Great job. Such tragic story’s and such young people and so many children R.I.P. to all. God bless you all and your family.

[@pammiedoodle8693]

I love your historical walks through the cemeteries! It’s keeping their memories alive, along with the history of those lives and the area in which they lived. Even though I’d never heard of these people, learning a little about them enriches my life and makes me stop and think about all these people that have come and gone that we would never know existed if it wasn’t for you and Heather! Thanks for another great walk through history!👍🏼🥰 God Bless🙏

[@christineberry3076]

[@BrendaLee381]

Thank you for showing my Aunt Alta's grave, and my first cousin, Perry's.

[@jackiesage4430]

I had never heard of a foot stone until watching your program. Thanks for giving this old woman an education

[@kevinbode6483]

It's sad that so many died so young 💔

[@user-uz9gc5tk1h]

May not have been my dad's flash light but he sure would have loved it

[@debbiesnavely4676]

Another great episode. I love the colorized pix. How precious are the old photographs.

[@kathy9363]

Dang thats a nice flashlight! Perfect for what you do. Loved the way you colorized the old pics & told their occupations etc. It really brought their stories to life.

[@deborahdonnelly8423]

I’m from Phila PA in the great Northeast. Tonight was the first time I watched your video. I was enjoying your southern accent when I noticed the depth of your research. Thank you for your work. I hope you get more viewers. this was the first time the algorithm directed me to your video and subscribed to a new channel.

[@kimberleyannedemong5621]

While infant death was much more common back then to lose that many I have to wonder to wonder if the mom was Rh negative which was not discovered until 1937. Their first child would have lived but none of the successive children.

[@denisehibbs9576]

I never thought that. Very interesting! Thanks!

[@cherylpeterson2289]

I found one if your videos a few weeks ago. I love them. Thank you for sharing. I'm obsessed

[@judypierce7028]

I always enjoy learning about the various families in Kentucky. Many of these stories would be forgotten if it wasn't for people like you who research and share with people. The Daniels family story in unique in itself just like the Hatfield-McCoy Feud. You both did a great job with this story. Thank you.

[@barbarascofield6683]

Another great history lesson. I think the home made headstones are wonderful so much love and respect by the family. I really like the videos where you show the pictures and the colorization of them gives a realistic picture of the people. Keep it up guys your doing a wonderful job.

[@sherronbell4961]

Beautiful cemetery. Amazing video

[@TayloredKreations77]

As always another wonderful and educational video!! This is my favorite channel bar none or as we say in Tennessee it beets all!

[@milantoombs6696]

Leo has a great voice to narrate the blogs👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@thehillbillyfiles]

Thank you

[@sherrilee230]

That is a very peaceful place.the miss on the ground is like a carpet. Thank you for sharing leo

[@maryguy-fo2qk]

"Live and Listen" like this term interesting family history also

[@gregorygibson5455]

Hello Leo and Heather

[@Metro-Mury-Bjornseth]

Don’t take this as a criticism. I use earbuds at work and listen to mostly all the stories you cover. My boss doesn’t appreciate me when I stop to read the captions. 🫤😅

[@Wtz-jx3wh]

This is something I wish other KZbinrs would understand too

[@wheredidthetimego8087]

Leo you do good commercials 👍

[@brianlykins6663]

Well, y'all did another really nice video. That is a very nice cemetery, really steep, though. I can't imagine what it would be like to have to carry the casket up there, and then yhe stones. Thank y'all for what you're doing. All these folks will be remembered on now. God bless y'all for what you do, and all the effort put into them. Y'all stay safe out on your adventures.

[@thehillbillyfiles]

Thanks for watching

[@joanneweislocher8540]

Great job Leo and Heather! Thank you and Bless you both❤️

[@kimberleyannedemong5621]

Back then toxemia (today known as preeclampsia was almost always a death sentence). I had this with my first pregnancy & am thankful i did not live back then. Even with modern medicine i was one sick girl & was several days in the hospital after my son was born.

[@user-ts4ud1wf5x]

I love listening to y’all!!! Y’all do so much digging into the stories! I love the joy the resonates from your voice! Y’all do an amazing job! Thank y’all for these videos!

[@carrollrickard9684]

Quite a trip up that cemetery hill, never heard of that family feud before I will get to looking for more information on it. Be safe, God Bless and Happy trails !

[@christineberry3076]

My Mother's first hub had a handmade headstone - until could afford a decent one!

[@angelahorne867]

Thank y’all so much for the hard work. Love y’all ❤

[@connie2558]

Thank you.

[@ronniemurphy2124]

Perry was my friend and my wife's 1st cousin. You might be kin to her as well? Alta was Perry's Mother. General Daniels was also a good friend, we served on the picket line together many days.

[@jeffreycalderwood9893]

Leo and Heather I'm from Michigan and I have relatives that came from the Kentucky and Tennessee area, I'm grandfather's family originally came from the Missouri area and my grandmother's family originally came from the Kentucky/Tennessee area, my grandfather's last name was rose and my grandmother's maiden name was Frederick

[@genniejefferson6588]

Always enjoy. Nice flashlight came in handy for you.

[@FeralSheryl1818]

Thanks for the video's and all the research. That takes a lot of time and money. Your appreciated

[@rcadventuresandbuilds3924]

I went to school with Jarrett he was good people

[@AshleyBurton-nv8he]

I am so to see this video it is my family. Viola and Cecil are my great great grandparents and luckily before her passing in 2001 I was able to meet her I was about 7 or 8 when I met her and she was a sweet lady. Viola and Cecil had a son named Jason Daniels or as you show in the video his tombstone refers to him as JD he was shot 5 times at age 32 (heard he was a very mean guy but we won't get into that lol) He was my great grandfather he had a daughter named Lilly (not the same one mentioned in video) which was my grandmother who passed 5 months before I was born in 92. Jason(JD), Hollie, Ruddo were brothers they also had a brother named Henry but I don't think he is buried there he passed about ten years ago. Perry who died in 2018 also had a brother named John who died about a year after him. I am not sure how many kids Hollie had because when Perry was a live he claimed to be General and his sister Jean's brother. But all I ever heard was General and Jean were Hollies kids but I haven't met all of them. But Leo n Heather awesome job. 100% accurate from what I've been told. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@donnaatkins2695]

I heard you smile when you said the names Jack and Charlie Daniels.

[@HunterHayes-hy6qn]

They were actually named that. I always thought it was funny. Lol

[@Thatgirlkathie]

Lol you could spot deer with that light

[@kimberleyannedemong5621]

They sheriff more than likely told the press she was 16. They had to justify shooting her & they couldn't say a 9 year old was blocking their entry. She may well have been collateral damage resulting from the possee shooting her mother

[@kimberleyannedemong5621]

Leo i love that little flashlight. I need one for what my daughter in law calls my mary poppins purse. I would like one for my glove compartment but I'd be afraid to leave it in the heat

[@OldGearTech]

Glad the flashlight worked out for you! I can't wait until you all go try it out on some of those hard to read stones in Fairview. Thanks for posting this video. I'd heard about this cemetery many years ago, but never visited it myself.

[@ronniemurphy2124]

I liked the light so I used the code to save $8. Mine will be blue also.

[@scottbatzler412]

I’ve heard a piece of mirror about 12x12 works that’s if you have sunlight

[@ronniemurphy2124]

Alta Daniels was my wife's Aunt. They called her Altie which is pronounced " Owltee". The A is short.

[@mercedithcompala8148]

Thanks Leo❤

[@donnaelkins186]

❤😊❤ Awesome video Leo! Had to watch this one twice!

[@MichelleBoden-ov4ic]

Hey Leo how have you been I was out of town for awhile I missed you but hillbilly s 😂😂😂😂

[@sandyhawks5240]

I am kin to some Daniels but I haven't gotten on that line yet.

[@christineberry3076]

White library in N.C. has a copy of a " paper" on Christian family Rev. NICHOLAS Christian of N.C. and some of his descendants. Found Gideon Christian living with pre Rev. War.

[@christineberry3076]

My cousin told me S.I.D.S. happened when persons had alot of children!😢

[@kimberleyannedemong5621]

Leo it would not be a video of you in a cemetery if you weren't having to climb a steep hill.

[@gregdaniels8938]

Great video! Where is this cemetery located. My branch of the Daniels family is from East Tennessee. Was the feud between members of the same family or two different families? A lot of history there. Again a great job!

[@kellycook3023]

Wasn't Betty Blankinship kin to the McCoys?
