- My viewers asked for it, so I’m sharing it. In this cemetery video, I show you my most unique headstones and tombstones. These would be considered non famous, but amazing architecture and history. Please like and subscribe.
I'm fascinated by the amount of money spent on these markers. I enjoyed the video very much.
I agree with that. It’s unbelievable how extravagant some of them are. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful Markers
And it be cool to see more
Thanks for sharing and doing what you do
Thanks so much. I have new videos on the way.
The tree trunks I believe are Woodsman of the world. I think it was something similar to the Masons.
Thank you so much for that info. I didn’t know that, but makes perfect sense. I appreciate that. Thanks for watching.
@@Whittdocs The history of this organization includes numerous philanthropic efforts and community outreach projects; distinctive tombstones depicting tree stumps across the country before 1930, a program to present American flags, and broadcast interests that were to own the first television station where Johnny Carson worked.
@@Whittdocs 00 hello from ireland
No woodsman of the world was a Insurance Company
Three years later, here's a twist: Those aren't from the Woodmen of the World, who are still with us as WoodmenLife -- take a look at the skyline in Omaha, NE and you'll see their headquarters, the second-tallest building there. It is a fact that the Woodmen of the World (and their auxiliaries, like the Woodmen Circle or their predecessor, the Modern Woodmen of America) did make extensive use of the tree trunk for monuments placed at the final resting places of their members, part of the benefits received for membership in what is/was a fraternal benefits organization. The tree trunk was a common trope to suggest that someone had been "cut down" -- you'll see plenty of these for children, with tree stumps much smaller than what's in the video -- and what identifies them is some kind of emblem -- a dove flying over a log with the tools of the woodmen, or just a tree stump in later days -- along with (maybe) "Dum tacet clamat" -- their motto, "Though silent, he speaks" in Latin -- and/or "Erected by the Woodmen of the World" or similar verbiage. My experience is also that, the more ornate they are, the less likely they were put out by the Woodmen. When the tree trunks got too costly to put into place, they simply put their emblem or text onto a headstone, and those can be interesting finds. Sometimes, you'll find other organizational emblems on the monument, like for the Masons, the Knights of Pythias, or the Odd Fellows. I've seen at least one zinc grave marker (which is another conversation ...) where the person buried there is identified as a member of the organization.
Anyway, sorry, I don't mean to come off as "Mister Knowitall", but I hunt for these when I'm walking historic cemeteries, and sometimes, I'll find one that refers to a "camp" or a "grove", which was the local organization of Woodmen of the World or the Woodmen Circle, respectively. Not only have I seen members of a camp buried miles or even states away from where they were members, but I've also seen references to communities that are no longer with us, thanks to the railroad's going elsewhere, the Depression, and so forth. Always look at the monument from all sides, as sometimes there's something interesting on one side or on the back.
Now, related to the video, come on out to Paris, TX. Check out the Eiffel Tower with the red cowboy hat, and then enjoy Evergreen Cemetery just a short drive away. The big name monument there is the Babcock monument for local mover-and-shaker, Willet Babcock, and his wife. At first glance, the monument is fairly generic: An androgynous figure with long hair, wearing robes, and holding onto a cross. However, a close look at the left foot -- you can't see the right -- shows a cowboy boot. This one has been dubbed "Jesus in Cowboy Boots", and it's the proverbial "they come from miles to see it" type of attraction. It's not Jesus, it's probably not an angel or saint, and we just don't know why it's there. Apparently, boots weren't a thing with Mr. Babcock, and some think that the sculptor may have been the one to make the decision to do this. My own thought is that, as a German immigrant who had a successful career in Paris, he may have simply decided to put a touch of Texas on the monument, and didn't make the big leap to a cowboy hat. And while you're visiting Evergreen, not only will you see plenty of Woodmen of the World monuments of all types, you'll also see quite a few of what I call "fake Woodmen", those ornate tree trunks that they didn't place. 🙂 [Even Wikipedia's article about the Woodmen has a "fake" ... can you spot it?]
New subbie....enjoyed your video. Unique tributes/headstones. Very well done 👍
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. I greatly appreciate it.
Really enjoyed this fomat - thanks once again for all the workyou putinto your videos ,they're always interesting & enjoyable.
Thanks for sharing very interesting.
You’re welcome!
Really enjoyed this. Was going to tell you about the Woodsmen of the World monuments but I see that someone else told you first. We have a few in the big cemetery down the road from our house. I spend a lot of time out there. Thanks for showing us all the really neat monuments.
I had no idea. I’m glad that everybody has informed me as to what they are. I love learning new things as well.
The Brown monument of the girl with a basket was a memorial to the owner of the popcorn company and founder of the Popcorn Museum. I met him on a tour. They were community-minded. I like to think that they wanted to give something beautiful to the community with their monument.
Thank you so much for sharing that. We wondered the significance of this. I really appreciate you sharing. Thank you so much again.
@@Whittdocs Looks like she’s carrying a laundry basket.
Warren Hoover Brown founded his Wyandot Inc. popcorn company in 1936 to support his family during the Great Depression. Decades later, after a long career in the family business, George Brown - Warren Hoover Brown’s son - founded the Wyandot Popcorn Museum in 1982 as a way to celebrate the city of Marion’s role in American snack history.
“George was very, very interested in the antique machines that were the basis for the popcorn explosion in America,” says Gale Martin, director of the Marion County Historical Society.
Today, under a big-top tent, in what was once the mail-sorting room of the former Marion post office, more than 50 antique popcorn carts and machines are displayed alongside photos and popcorn paraphernalia dating back to the 19th century.
Visitors can take a closer look at the brightly colored popcorn wagons, including a steam-powered popcorn machine that dates back to 1899 and is one of the three oldest of its kind in the United States. There’s also a horse-drawn popcorn wagon on display that was once owned by actor Paul Newman.
“Paul Newman and George got together when Paul decided to start a popcorn line,” explains Martin. “Newman was from Ohio, so it just seemed to make sense that he was going to go with an Ohio person to produce his popcorn.”
Newman’s wagon joined the museum following a promotional tour in Connecticut and New York City’s Central Park. “It’s a 1909 Dunbar model 950,” says Martin. “It’s one of only two that I know of that still exist from that model and that year.”
Those interested in science will appreciate the exhibits dedicated to Wyandot’s role in creating popcorn varieties that were better at holding a caramel coating or soaking up melted butter, and the young at heart will get a thrill from the collection of historic toys from Cracker Jack boxes (Wyandot produced the ballpark staple for a decade).
But the showstoppers are the antique popcorn wagons that initially won George Brown’s heart.
“You got all the shiny chrome, the beautifully painted wagons, the mirrored glass,” says Martin. “It’s eye-popping.”

Just came across this on my scrolling. This was interesting and unique! Thanks for taking me along. 😊
P.S. nice to see your face! 😊 Would love to see more videos like this ❣️
Wow very grand interesting and unique, a very interesting video. Not something you tend to see these days. Love your channel your journeys and your narrative and background music a great balance and a great video as always thank you for sharing things I would never get the chance to see if it wasn't for your videos. Love from the uk ❤️👏🏼🌈☀️🏛
I’m so glad that you’re enjoying my channel. I always welcome your comments. I enjoy hearing from my viewers.
This was definitely interesting taking the tour with you. There are stories of families attached to all these unique monuments. It was a little odd when the branches next to you were blowing with the breeze but other nearby trees did not seem to be moving that much. Thank you again.
Thanks so much for watching. I’ll need to watch for the trees on the video. I didn’t notice. Thanks so much.
The different tombstones are amazing looking
They really are. Everyone of them tell a story. This is the kind of history that I love. Thank you so much for watching.
I loved the "bowling balls", but my favorite was the little logs by the larger tree stump :-) Nicely done, Whitt!
It amazing how many unique markers are out there. I appreciate your kind words as always. Love your channel. Thanks for supporting mine.
Just stumbled across your channel...very interesting!
Thank you for watching. And welcome aboard. I’m glad you like it. My channel is all about cemeteries and the history associated with them and those that I visit.
Marion cemetery is my favorite. I have family in Marion and I lived there for a while years ago. The big ball monument. Is the first one my sister and brother took me to in 1971. You can see scratches and the original circle where it was placed on the base that is a different shade. They said that the ball turns very slowly for unknown reasons. I've been there several times over the years and the circle is always in a different spot.
Wow! I wish that I would have known that. I’ve learned so much for my viewers from the comments in my videos. This is another example of that. Thank you so much.
Really enjoyed this video I loved the deer on top of the tombstone and the girl with basket was different
Wow so magnificent this graveyard & that beautiful blue sky. I love watching your videos makes me feel I am there walking around seeing what you see.
You do a good job & letting us view these lovely graveyards.
Thank you so much. My next video is going to be a cemetery visit. I appreciate you watching.
@@Whittdocs 👍
Omg this so beautiful theses headstones are awesome. Thank u Chris for showing and telling such beauty. Make you wonder why families had them made .so big im a big fan of history told back in the days. They don't made headstones like this anymore. Out done yourself this time Chris.
That is such a kind comment. Thank you so much for watching. I really and truly appreciate it.
I like the video, keep making this type as well.
Very interesting, thanks😊
Thank you so much for watching. I really appreciate it.
I love going into older cemeteries. They really do have unique ones and I'm always looking for something different. The large markers are either from the Victorian period or a carry over from it. The idea behind is to have the tallest, largest or most grand so that visitors will come over to their grave. People of the time did not like the idea of not having visitors and being forgotten about. That often mean that people who had more money could get the ideal spot in the cemetery or large marker. All of this seems to be a lost idea now. Sometimes you can see celebrities doing that but that is about it.
Thanks so much for that info. I didn’t realize that. I love your channel and all the best things that you show us.
@@Whittdocs Are you near the Kentucky Ohio border?
RhettyforFun yeah, I am. Northeast Kentucky.
@@Whittdocs Depending on where you travel sometime you might keep an eye out for William Quantrill. In case you do not know he was the leader of the Quantrill Raiders. A confederate guerilla warfare group that had people in it you have probably heard of. Cole Younger and his brothers as well as Frank and Jesse James. Anyways, Quantrill has three graves in three states and there are body parts in all three. One of them is in Louisville, Kentucky and another is in Dover, Ohio. The third one is in Higginsville, Missouri.
I love cemeteries, especially the really old ones. So peaceful. 💜
I do too. Thank you so much for the comment.
There are many of the Woodman of The World headstones here in Arkansas. You very well could research some of those at rest using findagrave. The monument of the lady carrying the basket doesn't look old at all. Terrific coverage of these cemeteries my friend. Keep up the good work!!
I appreciate your comment and for that amazing info. It makes me want to research more. Thank you so much for watching. I greatly appreciate it.
Love this need to do more like this
Excellent quality video
I really appreciate that. Thank you.
I like everything you do!!!
That’s so kind of you. Thanks for your support. I appreciate it.
Oh I really liked the tree trunk one but then the last one of the girl...simply beautiful! Thanks for sharing I really enjoyed this video!
God Bless
Thank you so much. I found them unique as well. I appreciate you watching my videos.
The last statue of the young girl with a basket is simply stunning. So detailed. You can see the tendon in her neck!
I agree. I thought it was an amazing statue. This was such a fun visit to make.
ABSOLUTELY great videos all! My Dad had a monument company for 43 years.. I am fascinated by tombstones! 🤗
I'm the 500th like, this video is cool🙏 hello from Vancouver BC!💯🇨🇦🇬🇷
Hello to Vancouver! I hope things are going well there.
I’d like to see a video of some quotes written on the stones or markers.
That’s a good idea. I may do that. Thanks.
Wow. I just watched this video and these monuments are amazing and very unique. I really enjoyed this video. I would love to see more of these. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I have really enjoyed this journey with you!
I’m so glad to have you on this journey with me. Thank you so much for all of your support.
Washington monument style is called an obelisk.
A nice deviation from your regular style.
Thanks again Whittdocs
Thanks so much for that info. I really appreciate all of your support. Thank you so much for watching, Ken.
I wonder if the pyramid shaped one has illuminati connections?
That first "bowling ball" family plot marker is similar to what is in a local cemetery in my area. The cemetery sits on a hill. The family plot marker in this cemetery is often called "The Eye". The reason being is that at night when lights from cars passing on the road reflect off the globe it looks like an eye following you.
Wow!! I had no idea. Thank you so much for watching. I greatly appreciate that info.
@@Whittdocs I live in Washington state. The family plot marker oddly enough is for the Bollenger family.
Beautiful stonework, something thats missing these days..good work on your part👍
That’s for sure. Thanks so much for watching.
This was really interesting. Those certainly were some very unusual and enormous headstones and like you say, they would be very expensive now, never mind way back when. I was thinking maybe the one with the girl carrying a basket is actually a statue of whoever is buried there? Who knows, but very interesting just the same. Thanks for sharing this, I really enjoyed it 😊 ~Karin~
Thank you so much for the comment. And thanks so much for watching my video. I greatly and truly appreciate it.
Thank you so much for the comment. And thanks so much for watching my video. I greatly and truly appreciate it.
Love this kinda of format. Tree trunks are Woodsman of the world and they are all over older cemeteries. Some are large some are small and they have an insignia on them that says Woodsman. Thank you for another great walk. Looking forward to the next.
Thank you so much. I loaded a new video today. Hope you check it out. Thanks for watching.
I watch a lot of cemetery videos, but this was the first one of yours that I have seen. It stands head and shoulders above all the rest. Its beautiful - tasteful - unique. Very nice job.
Oh my goodness. That means a lot to me. I do a lot of cemetery videos. That’s mostly what I do. I hope you check more out. Thanks so much for your kind comment.
Love the music love the narration love the videos
I really appreciate the kind words. Thank you so much for watching.
Yes I agree, the music is just right, not loud and over powering like on some videos you have a good balance of music and narrative love it 😍
The headstones that resemble tree trunks in our local old cemetery are the graves of Woodmen of the World. I believe it was a society founded in the late 1800’s, of insurance salesmen. It was a rather prestigious group from what my research revealed. This was a wonderful video, by the way!
Wow! Thanks so much for the info. I’m going to need to research that. I appreciate you watching.
Thoroughly enjoyed seeing these monuments! I photograph just Angel's in cemeteries..Thanks so much.
That’s great! Thanks for watching!
This was one of my favorites of yours. Thank you
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much.
Another very interesting video. I always had an affinity personally towards obelisks but those are pretty standard. I've never seen the tree trunk ones. Thanks for sharing these unique markers and as always I look forward to your next video
Thanks so much Jason. I greatly appreciate those kind words. Thanks for watching.
I actually asked a friend of mine here in Ohio, he works as a historian, about the spheres. The 3-D circle represents eternity and the unending circle of life.
Another interesting video. Would love to see more like this
I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you!
Super interesting video. Lots of those tree stump markers here in Pennsylvania. Hardly ever see those logs with names on them next to the tree maker. Great find.
Thank you so much. I found them very interesting. I appreciate you watching.
Thank you for the great video! I enjoy ur presentations so I don't have n e suggestions! Great job n thank you for sharing them with us!
How interesting, what a difference there are between markers for sure. Thanks for doing this.
I’m glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for watching. I really appreciate it.
Whittdoc - You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!! When you see a FANCY HEADSTONE or MAUSOLEUM of a Movie Star, you think, "Well, they obviously had the money," but when you see a FANCY HEADSTONE of someone that wasn't, what my father in law would call, a "BIG SHOT", it does give one "PAUSE"!!!!
Such a great comment. Thank you so much.
A tree with the top broken is a symbol of a life cut short. A “Washington style monument is called an obelisk. Victorians were fascinated by mystical symbols, circle, squares, and of course the Egyptian triangle or pyramid.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me.
Thank u, ✌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕🌹 like this
Thank you so much.
Y’all come on out to Texas! Meet up with me and the hubby and we can take you around to some famous graves here in Dallas/Fort Worth!
I would absolutely love to. Thanks so much for watching.
Amazing headstones and tombstones love all of your videos
Thank you so much for the support. I really appreciate it and am so grateful.
absolutely fascinating and very interesting, really enjoying your tours through the graveyards
I appreciate your comments.
Woodmen of the World was a fraternal benefit organization founded by Joseph Cullen Root in 1890. His purpose was to make insurance affordable to everyone. From 1890-1900 the policies included grave markers that looked like tree stumps. Probably everyone has seen them in cemeteries. They seemed to be quite common at the time.
Great video. I am unable to travel my self now so I Iet others do my walking for me. I have always loved walking thru cemeteries. The history and stories contained within are amazing. I am new to your channel and like your presentations. Thank you so much for sharing with us. 🙂
Thank you so much. I’m glad that you enjoy them. I really appreciate it.
Fences around headstones ? It was common in the old days to let cows graze in cemeterys... so to keep the cows from pooping on headstones.... they put up fences . Good plan 😎
Thanks for that info! Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
I did a couple stories about headstones you might find interesting.. take care and stay safe 😎
Oh okay. Thank you. I’ll have to check them out. Appreciate that.
Hi. Beautiful headstones and very unique ideas . Very nice and keep on vloggin!! Deborah. Winnipeg ,. Canada
I appreciate that kind comment. Thanks for the support and thank you for watching.
I love this history. I appreciate you doing this
I appreciate that. Thank you.
Great video! I especially love the close up look at the headstones. Have you ever found any of the old zinc headstones? They are something I always look for whenever I visit older cemeteries.
I’m not quite sure. I would love to look for them. What do they look like? Thank you for watching.
They are a silvery grey colour and a actually made up of zinc metal panels so they are hollow. From a distance you may think they are stone but once you know what to look for they will be easy to spot.
Cool!!!!! I just wanted to mention the real reason cemeteries are built on a hill is the same reason hospitals are - to not be in a flood plain. Can you imagine the damage that would cause! Pat
Thank you so much for sharing that. Makes perfect sense.
Really interesting! Thank you from Canada 🇨🇦🙂
Thank you so much. I really appreciate you watching. Hello to Canada!
Enjoyed this. Thank u !
Thank you so very much!
Enjoyed this a lot!
I’m glad. Thank you so much.
I love this and thank you!!
Love you vist old grey cemetery in Knoxville. The cemetery is very old cemetery. Sometimes they do tours. Probably don't so much since corna virse.
I would love to visit. I love visiting those types of places. Maybe I will make it there sometime.
Old grey cemetery as a website and q page on Facebook. The Facebook page tell the history that is buried qt the cemetary.
Thank you so much! I want to check that out.
You're welcome
I enjoyed seeing the sarcophagus of Mr. Clay. Nice video.
He was an interesting figure in our state. He actually got some electoral votes one year for president. Thanks so much for watching. I love your channel too.
The Monument with the columns replicates an old temple. Greek temple. Oh, lots of the sphere monuments in Pennsylvania, have seen one or two of the diamond shapes. Love the country cemeteries. Simple yet still made with love.
I appreciate the comment. Thank you so much. I didn’t know that the spheres were so common. I appreciate the info and thanks for watching.
Hi. I believe that the black sphere that you show at the beginning of the video is the Merchant monument. An interesting story is that the sphere will rotate so that the unpolished bottom is visible.
That’s very neat. I didn’t realize that. Thank you so much for watching. I greatly appreciate it.
The tree tombstones are for Woodsman of the World. It’s actually a fraternal organization that had insurance benefits for its members. The headstones with sawed off limbs represents a life cut short.
When I was in college I was a member of the history club. The professor that led the club took us to cemeteries and taught us Cemetery Reading. You could learn a lot about a community and it’s history through the local cemetery
I really appreciate this comment. Thank you so much.
Whittdocs Cemetery Tours one of these days I’ll get a Facebook account and connect with you.
I really enjoyed those markers
Very neat video people are so creative
Thank you so much for watching.
Thank you Whitdocks
I really enjoyed this video! It makes me want to go down to the Cemetery thats basically down the street and do a similar video. It has everything from a marble lion to giant Celtic crosses to statues...
You should film in and upload it. Thanks for watching.
Would love to see more entertainment figures and more athletes
Thank you so much. I’ll keep that in mind. I do have some on the way with some entertainers from old Hollywood
Whittdocs Famous Graves wonderful! Can’t wait! ☺️
Thank you that was very interesting. Such lovely markers. I live in Africa & have seen the graves before. I asked Rhett & he told me that they are Woodman of the world a group like the Masonic & i think he said Odfellow?. I would like to see the names etc of the stones. Sometimes it gives a story about the the people. Enjoyed the video.
I really appreciate the kind words and the interesting comment. I’m glad that you shared that with me. Thank you.
There's a GIANT warlock round spear tombstone in Memphis Michigan I would love for you to do a story on that family. It's been told the stone turns completely around in the course of a year. Perhaps you'll do a story on it. My family is from that town that's how I know about it.
There are two cemetaries in Memphis you might want to check out. The 1st is the Crystal Shrine Grotto. No one is buried in or under the grotto, it sits in the middle of Memphis’ Memorial Park Cemetery just across the street from the grave of Isaac Hayes. It is open 24 hrs a day.
The 2nd cemetary in Memphis you should see was Established in 1852, Elmwood Cemetary consisted of 40 acres but was expanded to 80 acres after the Civil War. Check them out on line. The way they buried people in Elmwood was like nothing I had ever seen before.
Just different.
I would love to be able to visit there someday. I appreciate the suggestion. I will keep that in mind. Thank you so much for watching. I greatly appreciate it.
Please, please come to Wisconsin!
I would love to.
We have a lot like these here in Metairie cemetery which is in New Orleans. You might want to come here if you haven't already.
I’ve been to some New Orleans cemeteries before but never to record. I would absolutely love to. Thanks for watching.
You should go and tour the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo NY. A lot of famous people and unique gravesites too! There are walking tours you can do. Some of the famous graves is President Millard Fillmore, Rick James, the inventor of the air conditioner, the rotary snow plow, etc. i believe Franklin Pierce from Pierce Automotive is buried there too! Lastly in Lake View Cemetery in Jamestown, NY you can see where Lucile Ball is buried and the most talked about gravesite of the girl in glass. There are many different stories about this particular gravesite and in all honesty I don’t know if anybody really knows the true story behind it.
Love these markers
I do too. Thank you for watching.
The Headstone at 5:58 I believe is one That The ball on the top has rotated From time to time
Wow. Thanks for sharing that. Very neat.
I love the history.
Thanks for the comment. Thank you so much.
You are very kind. You are well welcome
I found this to be very interesting..do more please
Susan Lent I sure will. Thank you so much.
I like anything unsolved, unusual or weird plus sayings on the headstone
I’m the same way. Thanks for watching.
@@Whittdocs you're welcome
This is sooooooo neat!!!💙💙❤❤
You need to visit Cleveland OH. Lake View Cemetery. Crying Angel/Haserot Angel. Has grieving and shrouded woman headstones. Pres Garfield Memorial among others.
I would love to visit Cleveland. I’ve wanted to film there for a while. Thanks for watching.
Lots of Woodsman graves in Ohio❣️. They're ABSOLUTELY beautiful 😍
Just located and subscribed, enjoy your work.! I live in a place called Barre VT, and if you are interested in cemeteries and burial traditions, look up Hope Cemetery in Barre Vt…you will be amazed. Barre is famous as the Granite Center of the world, and this cemetery has some of the most amazing memorials you have ever seen.
I would absolutely love to visit there someday.
frist ones u show us i liked the most
Yeah. Those were some good ones. Thanks for watching my videos.
J.D. Shutt was a member of the State House of Representatives. He spent over $40,000 [the equivalent of about $1 million] on the tomb with a life-size bronze statue of himself. He is the only one buried inside. The story is that his wife and children and buried in unmarked graves because she was so made about the amount spent on his grave. Thank you findagrave.com lol
Well that certainly explains that. lol. Thanks so much for sharing. And thank you so much for watching.
I agree with the wife.
Awesome
The monuments were amazing
I agree. Thank you so much for watching. I really enjoyed making this.
Hello buddy ✌️ how are you doing today my friend? I'm hanging out on the front porch with my dogs Bigfoot and Arnold they were watching your awesome video with me.. those are some very exotic tombstones for sure makes me wonder who they were in life you know..I love to visit old cemeteries.. when you showed the country cemetery it reminded me when I used to go to the cemetery up here were I live with my grandfather or poppow as I called him..oh my I give all I have and all I would ever have to get to see him and my daddy again and my mother again but something you can't buy you know but anyway back to what I was saying I used to go to the cemeteries with him and he could tell you exactly who was buried with just the field stones.. he could tell you about them and how old and what took them away from life..I wish I could have wrote all of the unknowns names down now because nobody nowadays know who they were. my poppow was my hero no doubt we were really close and he has been gone for 32 years now it doesn't seem possible and now I'm getting pretty Gray headed.lol..very good video buddy 👍..I look forward to watching more.. I've been telling everyone about your channel and trying to get them to subscribe.
Hey David. Good to hear from you. I hope Arnold and Bigfoot are doing well today. Thanks for being such a good follower of mine and for your support.
@@Whittdocs okay thanks buddy 👍👌.. the boys are doing pretty good bigfoot is pretty much out of it because of the high dose of pain meds but he isn't in pain the main thing.. and Arnold is watching columbo tonight..lol. As always he watches every Sunday night
The tree stump monuments. 'Woodsmen of the Woods, or World.' If I remember correctly. Some kinda of insurance company for headstones
You have a very pleasant speaking voice.
That’s very kind of you. Thank you so much for watching. I appreciate the support.
If you ever come out to California you have to go to the big cemetery in Oakland! Millionaire row is something else!
I would absolutely love to. Thanks for the suggestion and thank you for watching.
@@Whittdocs it's nice to meet other taphophiles, I love history in stone.
Thanks for your videos, I get to see things I unable to travel to.
Blessing to you and yours
I love your videos.
Ive always found the tree stones creepy. Even though they arent. The missing limbs say a lot.
have you ever visited the Maple Hill Cemetery in Huntsville, ALabama?
I never have. I would love to though. Thanks so much for watching.
