What is the deal with the Olive Grove Cemetery | Whittier

- On todays video we visit the Olive Grove Cemetery in Santa Fe Springs, California. It is a small patch of land left behind by German Baptists that settles here in the late 1800's. There is a lot of mystery surrounding this cemetery because of the location. It is currently surrounded by industrial businesses in the area and looks completely out of place. I thought I would do some research and visit Olive grove for myself and pass the information on to you.

I’m a local truck driver and deliver to the building that’s right behind it. Was curious and decided to look it up the history on it. From what I know people volunteer to maintain it and place flowers on the graves .
The fact that the middle school like a block away is called "Graves" is just fitting. Though the school is named after Richard L Graves whoever that was/is.
For all you peeps reading , you won’t to feel Whittier , hike up to the W tank and soak in the view !! Breathtaking on a clear day . Peace .
Whittier is all I ever knew !! All I love , all my memories !!
RIP OliveGrove Residents 💐
🙏🏼 thank you for watching
Thanks for sharing this lovely little cemetery. Watching from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you for watching I really appreciate it.
I really like what you're doing for my home town there. I know I should take more of an interest but I live in North Whittier
I appreciate it thank you for watching
I hope someone sees this and volunteers to go and clean up the overgrowth. Thank you for clearing up what I was curious about. I work for the school district just down the street, and would pass by that cemetery and thought it odd that it was there. I knew the explanation had to be something close to what you found out. Sad that it’s so lonesome like.
That would be awesome
I work up the street at the business park and I see people come by and clean up on occasion. I guess it's maintained by whoever wants to do it.
You probably don’t know but research the old Quaker cemetery , it was located at painter avenue and Los Nietos rd . Now it’s all warehouse and buildings , but I remember it .
Also founders park use to be a cemetery , I remember that before it became a park . Sink holes still form 6’x 3 ‘!!😮
Very interesting. Thank you ever so much.
Thank you for taking the time to watch I appreciate it
I used to work on Los Nietos Rd from 1975 up until about 2012. I would drive by the dunkard church daily on my commute. The locals knew it as being a dunkard church, even though a different congregation met there toward the end. I think the church building was finally demolished and the property developed around the mid '80s. I was sad to see it go, but by then it wasn't in good condition. Occasionally doing the landscaping work on the cemetery would make a great project for one of the local scout troops. Thanks for the memory lane road trip.
Super interesting, thanks for doing this video.
Thank you for watching
We used to go there once in awhile just to chill. Was very different and random.
thank you very much for this video i didn’t know it was there keep up the good work love your channel
When I was very little I remember my parents would drive down painter. There was no buildings there just a very old abandon church next to the cemetery.
Yes that was the church the dunkers built.
Very cool! Great info on local spot.
Thx Mark I appreciate it.
Man. I remember when the old ass church was still next to it. Shit scared and fascinated me when I was a kid
I grew up around the corner. I remember walking past this cemetery and the church on the corner when I would walk to Kmart and Fiesta Market that were across the street. I have some really good memories of that neighborhood. I would go to Shoemaker’s Candies and buy all kinds of stuff to sell at school. That was back when they had a storefront and sold to the public. Not even sure if they are still there.
I remember the church on the corner,especially Sunday when the people going to church. I was always fascinated by the place. There is a really old grave yard in Downey a small one like that.Use to creep my cousins and I out when we were kids.Thank you for the story on this one. 6:16
How about West penn liquor store !! My aunt would take there for candy , accross St Mary’s .
There use to be a small palm type tree in the far back right corner that was covering a few head stones I dont see any more. Took some pictures and had a lot of anomalies in the pics. It’s sad they tore down that old church for progress. Seems people don’t care about their roots anymore. I tried my best to fix a few of the broken head stones. To no avail apparently
I think it is still there but it’s low like a stump. Thx for watching
Yeah, if you stumble on to the abandoned mansion/house genre it’s very sad to see all the pictures, heirlooms, antiques, books just left to rot..the younger generations don’t want them or see value in them. It’s very sad. I hope some Good Samaritan nearby just mows and cleans this place up
havent been there for years
I passed by it just today
Check out paradise memorial park in sfs. Also has a really fascinating history. Sad we destroy our past so easily
I would do the labor but i down have a lawn mower or a trimmer.
Pio Pico Adobe???
That cemetery is cursed, you should have never entered it.
Thank you for watching
I don’t know about a curse. But I have gotten a lot of anomalies in pictures. I feel it is haunted. I guarantee if you take pics you will get white whispey things show up in pics
@@badasspearldrummer I have never stepped foot inside although I do remember it being locked back in the mid-nineties because my friends and I had walked by there many times going to the old Santa Fe Springs mall that used to be across the street.
@@MrDogbrain I remember that mall, everyone I mention it to doesn't remember it , was it there for long?
@@Chris-wi3vu it was there ever since I moved to Whittier in 1986
