Famous Graves - Visiting the Famous Gravesites in Lexington Cemetery Kentucky

[@carolynpurser7469]

Love these older cemeteries. The various styles of grave markers and all that history make them so interesting.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

I love how you have signs, back there, pointing to famous graves. I rarely see that in California. I think I mentioned before that Varney was on my list to visit on my road trip this summer, but I ran out of time. Hopefully, I'll get back there again, one of these days. Nice job, as always, Whitt!

[@Whittdocs]

Visiting Gravesites With Steve those signs are so helpful. I wish everyplace had them. Thanks for watching Steve. You’re awesome.

[@johannahmoran704]

One of my favorite places to visit in Lexington , beautiful....

Really loved the Jim Varney grave he was part of all our childhoods.

Yeah, he truly was. He was a great actor; even outside of the Ernest role. Thanks so much for watching.

if you ever get the chance and your at Frankfort Cemetery there is a famous US Marine buried near Daniel Boone named Presley O'Bannon. Interesting story about him. And in Elizaville Cemetery in Fleming County is another Marine who was one of the flag raisers at Iwo Jima named Franklin Sousley. He was KIA on Iwo Jima less than a month later.

[@Whittdocs]

Check out my other videos, I visited Franklin Sousleys grave. It’s called my most emotional visit. I need to get back to Frankfort. I was in Bardstown today and almost went there, but didn’t. Thanks for watching. Appreciate it.

Speaking Of The Lexington Kentucky Cemetery I Can't Wait To Come and Pay My Respect To Jim Varney's Grave Jim Varney Was Always A Big Part Of My Childhood and I Will Always Have Jim Varney In My Heart Forever And From The Bottom Of My Heart I Will Always Watch Jim Varney's Movies and May God Rest Jim Varney's Heart and Soul In Jesus Name Amen and I Will Always Be The Biggest Fan Of Jim Varney and My Name Is Gegham Gary Izmirian I Work At A Grocery Store In Tujunga California It's Called Albertsons I Am A Courtesy Clerk There

[@JAG51020]

Ernest P. Worrell was part of my childhood! Sad that Jim Varney left us so young, and interesting that he was laid to rest among many historical figures. I'm guessing he was a Lexington native and that's why he is interred there? I'm an American history buff, and if I remember correctly Henry Clay ran for President unsuccessfully more than once. He was very ambitious and made many political enemies as a result. I'm also a big sports fan, so very familiar with the name Adolph Rupp!

[@Whittdocs]

Thanks so much for watching. I do believe Henry Clay ran more than once. He had a ton of accomplishments. I appreciate your comment.

[@emilyshort7694]

You should visit the cemeteries in southern California some time, there are lots of famous graves & history

I would absolutely love to sometime.

Lyman Beecher Todd was Mary Todd Lincoln's cousin, and was one of the doctors who tended to Lincoln as he lay dying after being shot...also, alot of people may not know, Robert and Eliza Todd (Lincoln's father and mother in law) were first cousins

How far back do the soldiers go from the cemetery?. Does it have both soldiers from the North and the South from the Civil War. Is Nancy Hanks buried there. She was Abraham Lincoln's mother.

[@Whittdocs]

I believe the soldiers are civil war soldiers. Not sure about Lincoln’s mother. I didn’t see her stone there. Thanks so much for watching!
