I just found you on here. Some of those gravestones are beyond beautiful you have so much respect for the families I'm glad I stopped in I have now subscribed and I'm off to look for more videos of yours.
Dont apologize. People can be such idiots!! It made my boil too when you said the little girls doll house was robbed. Had to have been kids who's parents didnt take the time to teach them anything about respect and compassion. Pretty self explanatory if you ask me. The world today is so sad. Smdh
Yes, I will. Somebody was driving in the cemetery and I kind of rushed through that but yeah I know what you’re saying will do. I know I said 1994 instead of 1894 thank you for watching
Discover the fascinating story of James "Doc" McGruder - an escaped slave from Kentucky who became a Union soldier as well as a beloved animal healer and successful jockey in Blackberry Village (now Elburn, IL). McGruder earned respect for healing farm animals, children's pets and even a crippled child - leaving an impact on his adopted community that transcended racial and cultural attitudes of the time. His grave in Blackberry Cemetery is marked by two headstones, including one purchased by the many children he befriended. Presented by Donna Blackenship, local historian and former Kaneland school district fifth grade teacher. Birthdate unknown - Died July 18, 1894
Thank you so much for that information. Very interesting story I will revisit that grave soon now that I have that information I can do a better job, I was just going by what I saw on the stone at the time
Thank you for watching. Glad you found my channel. I actually have a premiere of my new video tonight at six and check out my other stuff. Also have a great memorial day.
Interesting, but you need to be more careful reading dates. At least twice you said 1838 when stone said 1888. You also skipped reading one child's name completely when showing a family monument. Just slow down & read to yourself before out loud, maybe. I had to go back & make sure I was seeing things right.
FU RUclips CENSORS excellent content 👍 Talk about strange happenings in the cemetery. I worked for telecommunications company and when Verizon was pulling out all the copper lines I had three customers who had live phones INSIDE the mausoleums insisted on paying for fiber so that they would be a live phone inside the mausoleum. At a cost of over $3,000 per install. None of them would actually come up with a reason why they insisted that 🙄
Through an online obituary for Rebecca Jean Sparks it says she died from a one car accident. At the time she was a research chemist for Miles Laboratory and died two weeks before she was to receive her Master’s Degree. All the dates, names and location match this monument but in the obituary she has the married last name of Farmwald (shows Rebecca Jean Sparks Farmwald) though no mention of a husband at the time of death. Unfortunately, there was no information about the little doggie pictured who looks so sweet and must have been cherished to be part of the monument. She was survived by her parents, two brothers, some Grandparents and additional extended family members at the time of her passing. Thank you for sharing these wonderful monuments and statuary. Please forgive me if I’ve incorrectly attributed the information to this monument. I tried to cross reference the information. If anyone has different information I would welcome knowing that.
Maybe those people with the train 🚂 and picture of a train were involved in the train industry - engineer, etc. My son’s grandfather on his dad’s side had something to do with trains, but I can’t remember exactly what it was he did.
You even said that David trawler died in 1922. He died ! 2022.if he was born in 1966 his death in 1922 wouldn’t work. But all good I just found your site and so far love your content. I was born October 31st 1972 and absolutely love cemeteries and hearses and caskets. Mortuaries Love it all
@@shawnarthurwells5385 thank you so much for that information that I was unaware of. I’m so sorry that happened on my condolences to the family. Thank you for watching. I appreciate it.
In Nelson County KY there is a Thomas Nelson HighSchool. I an Chrome as to we're this grave yard is. I don't think it is the Prostant/Catholic one in Bardstown, is it? Also the Magurtor name is in Nelson & BullittCounties.
This spooky but what a great ideal it is kinda cool though well this way they don't need security at he cemetery, How big is the monument to fit the man?
There is a thing called cemetery etticute, it's disrespectful to walk on the deceased person's grave. Please in future videos take the time to refrain from walking on the Graves by walking between them and give at least 5 foot at the end to prevent walking on there grave. Otherwise nice video.
Thank you for watching, I do appreciate your comment, I do try to show respect so yes I will. I used to be a cemetery worker so mowing we go over everyone's graves when doing maintenance. Its something I will pay more attention to yes
I work in Batavia, drive past that cemetery every day on my way home. Didn't know he was there until I drove through. Interesting what's hidden in these cemeteries. Thank you for watching
Tombstone, headstone, or gravestone are all proper terms to describe where someone is buried. Go ahead and Google that I’m correct. All caskets and coffins are made of wood. The difference between them is a coffin has six sides. A casket has four you can buy a coffin that’s made of metal but most are made of wood.

You're reading a few of the years wrong. Take your time.
Yes, I will. Somebody was driving in the cemetery and I kind of rushed through that but yeah I know what you’re saying will do. I know I said 1994 instead of 1894 thank you for watching
You are reading the dates wrong and mispronouncing names. That wasn't a mustang, it was a Camaro.

Will do, yeah I kind of rushed through this one so I agree. I didn’t think it was going to get this much attention lol thanks for watching.
RIP Shipmate, thanks for your service.
New subscriber here. I’m impressed with your style. You fill a unique niche, in a very respectful way.
Thank you , so much for watching, also for the kind words
The metal ones are called Zinkers and were sold by traveling salesmen as an affordable alternative to stone. They were sold until about 1914 or so.
Thank you, Learn something everyday
Video was well done. Th😊anks very interesting 😊
Thank you! 😃
I’m a new subscriber from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks, Focus on unique Tombstones,
Lovely video, looks like a glorious day for cemetery oddities.
I love this tomb how unusual I have honestly never seen anything like this thanks for showing us this.
Lovely place❤ I didn't notice the wind until you said something😊 I have never seen a metal one that big❤ Take care❤
The Adkins head stone probably has an picture taken from an airplane & it was somehow put on the headstone. It's amazing that they can do that.
That statue was so lifelike
You really found some interesting memorials! Thanks for the adventure.
Thank you, yes that's what my channel is all about. Check out my other videos for more crazy tombstones
Great video friend. Rip Amen 🙏.

If there loved one comes back to life they can call. But they would have to figure out how to get out of a sealed coffin. Yes very strange
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Injoyed your video thank you
I'm a new subscriber.I think you did awesome job.Looking forward for more. Stay safe out there.
this was so cool , i enjoy cemetery exploratiioms ❤ the statue in the vault is something i have never seen before 😊

Maybe those people with the train 🚂 and picture of a train were involved in the train industry - engineer, etc. My son’s grandfather on his dad’s side had something to do with trains, but I can’t remember exactly what it was he did.
That was her sister and brother in law on one side. He is entombed next his parents.
Thank you so much for that info, I was wondering

Going too fast, wasn't watching what I was saying that day
Those metal headstones were cast in Zinc for there resiliency to the weather and environment.
That's wild, creative
And he appears incarcerated.
Britt Iverson was his Daughter and she passed from Drowning when she was on vacation.

In Nelson County KY there is a Thomas Nelson HighSchool. I an Chrome as to we're this grave yard is. I don't think it is the Prostant/Catholic one in Bardstown, is it? Also the Magurtor name is in Nelson & BullittCounties.
The cemetery that stone was in is in central Indiana, But who knows it could be the same guy
Those are some very nice headstones
Pretty cool
I notice the scrolls on the side of the Nelson marker. There is a Bible named the Thomas Nelson Bible...I wonder...
Funny you said that was wondering the same. Tried finding an answer and nothing
its off the beaten path its just west of the metra station been there many of times rt 47
This spooky but what a great ideal it is kinda cool though well this way they don't need security at he cemetery, How big is the monument to fit the man?
It looks to be 6'3"
I have seen this man before when my grandfather and my grandmother and my grandfather's mother passed away they are buried at their also the Bateman's
Britt was his son and Rudolph and Louise were his parents
That was very well done 👍 amazing stones 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it

That one year wasn’t 1922 it was 2022..
Yes I was rushing, so need to slow down when reading. I don't mind criticism. Don't like mean criticism thank you for watching
The medal markers are made of zinc.
A Zinker (company name than made the zinc tombstones) are not seen often anymore though they are usually in excellent shape.
i noticed Janice Doll died the day before her birthday
its awesome you can gaze into his eyes the clothes and him look so REAL you could shake hands its in kane county batavia
I work in Batavia, drive past that cemetery every day on my way home. Didn't know he was there until I drove through. Interesting what's hidden in these cemeteries. Thank you for watching
What state is this in?
Illinois Elburn, Illinois
Veru interesting im in the uk beautiful place there
Yes, it is. Thank you very much for watching.
Location is important
If a cemetery can be cozy that place is. I bet he picked that out years before he died,
Wow!!!
Interesting.
Betty Weston was his sister
Thank you I was really wondering about that
Spent a fortune on that
#graveyard index?
Britt is a female name.
Not always
Exactly. Don't say that to FOTF. We love our Brittan "Britt". He is one cool guy.
huh?
The proper term is headstone not tombstone. Like calling a casket a coffin. Coffin is a wood box. Get the point?
Tombstone, headstone, or gravestone are all proper terms to describe where someone is buried. Go ahead and Google that I’m correct. All caskets and coffins are made of wood. The difference between them is a coffin has six sides. A casket has four you can buy a coffin that’s made of metal but most are made of wood.
@@CEMETERYVIEWS All very good points.
