I believe the bull behind Jim in his tomb stone is his world famous bucking bull Tornado. I had a chance to meet Jim and his family in Henrietta a couple times. My mom still has a picture of me on a horse with Jim in about 1961 when my dad was there for a rodeo school and I had a chance to return in the early 70s when a family friend went down to Jim’s son in laws bull fighting school. He and his family were very kind and accommodating. My favorite Jim Shoulders quote is “ sometimes it’s better to have a little luck than all the skill in the world”
You're welcome. I really enjoyed that cemetery visit. I walked much of it especially in the front. It's difficult to cover it all though. Thank you for watching.
I remember back in, I think 1963, he came to Utah for the Days of '47 rodeo and won the events he was in. Thank you, Rhett for showing respect for the dead.
I saw him here at different events in Oklahoma but I never got to see him compete. He was quite a legend in and out of the arena. Thank you for watching!
Hi, was just going to call it a note when I spotted your video. What an amazing life he lead. If his wife Sharon is still alive she be coming up for 92 birthday. Any chance can search if she is still alive. I wonder if they had children & if they followed in their fathers footsteps. I've just watched 2 videos of a young main in Maine I think & both show him cleaning up old cemeteries. He did a wonder job on them. Will come back with his name. Cheers Lynne Australia 🇦🇺🐨👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Adventures with Trevor cleanings 170 yr old cemetery & the other is 150 yrs
I haven't heard of that channel before. I'll have to check it out. As far as I know Sharon is still alive. I know they had one son that was in the rodeos. His photo is in an ad in the video. Those would be big boots to follow. Thank you so much for watching!
Hey Rhetty, Right off the bat, I've gotta mention that I LOVE the sign for the cemetery, as it gives the address for folks to send donations to help with the upkeep. I've never seen that done before and I think that's a great idea; I wish MORE cemeteries would do that! I don't know much about old rodeo stars, or about rodeos in general, other than the fact that I enjoy being a spectator occasionally. My grandparents used to raise horses/cows/bulls starting back in the 1930s, right up through the 1970s. They raised them primarily for "show" during the Rochester (New Hampshire) Annual Fair and for the old 4H Club they were a part of. Lots of their stock was sold and hauled off all across the country. Now I'm sitting here wondering if any of their bulls made it to the likes of Jim Shoulders! There's no way to know for sure, but I 'spose it's possible! Also, love the wagon-wheel marker at 7:35 -- it's really pretty (and quite unique)! And thanks for moving those branches off the Dudley's burial site. I do that all the time, too, when I'm out exploring old cemeteries. Every little bit counts! Have a great weekend! Val.
It's difficult to say about the livestock making it to Jim but generally those are two different worlds. Show stock doesn't usually have what it takes to have the rodeo stock and vice versa. Both are really interesting and vital in my opinion. It's nice to hear that you help out on cemeteries when you can. We need more people like you so thank you for doing tha! As always I appreciate you always watching and commenting!
That was so sweet of you to remove those branches it's nice to see somebody that respects the people that have gone before us thank you for that your videos are very interesting I really enjoy watching them thank you again for sharing and being such a nice young man who cares.
Beautiful Markers. I remember seeing pictures of Jim Shoulders wearing the "Wrangler" Jeans advertisements. Also the Wall of fame at the Calgary Stampede. My Hometown. My son is a Team Roper so I have been following rodeo for a few years and have got to know a lot of Cowboy's and must say they are a great bunch of guys. Thanks for the video.
Sounds like you are right in the thick of the rodeo. You're certainly in a big rodeo area. I've never been up there would love to go. Jim had a ton of ads for Wrangler Jeans and I believe it was Miller Lite beer. Some beer company anyways. Thank you for watching Harry!
Greetings from Memphis, TN. About 15 years ago when I was hauling salt water in the oilfield I was sent out to the Jim Shoulders Ranch. I usually didn’t go that far away from Seminole but I did that day. My boss told me to not exceed 10 mph after I went through the gate because the guy that owned the Ranch had some very expensive bulls that he would lend to the rodeos for bull riders. I’m not a guy that keeps up with that sort of thing and I had no clue who Jim Shoulders was. One of the truck drivers I worked with told me who he was when I returned that day. I didn’t know who Lane Frost was either until after the Garth Brooks song came out. Lane Frost is in the video.
Yeah and that is ok not to know. That's what makes this world interesting is there is a multitude of things to be interested in. It would be boring if everyone liked the same things. It's good they warned you though. I'd hate to hit one of those prized bulls. Thank you for watching!
Loved the old photographs you shared, once again you bring these people and their stories back to life. The respect you have for these cemetery’s is inspiring.
You are always so respectful Rhett. Very interesting My sister lived in Calgary Canada & always told us about the Rodeo' s they had there.It was lovely to see those graves. Thank you. 🐘
I'm familiar with the rodeo cowboy of course, there are several but another huge one is Terry Don West. I'm not familiar with the actor you are talking about. There is an actress that grew up here though. There are quite a few football professional players from here. More recent famous one would be Troy Aikman. But I'm curious who the stuntman is. I don't know anything about that.
Oh, sorry I forgot to say his name🙄...the great Ben Johnson I thought was from that area...I met him several times.. in Ft. Worth and Houston...my older sister was friends with him...she helped him with the Ben Johnson Celebrity Roping/Cutting Charity in Ft. Worth...also another "Cowboy" from Henrietta is Troy Aikman 🏈...in May of 1968 a Braniff Lockheed Electra crashed just south of my parents home near Dawson, Texas.. west of Corsicana....85 were killed on the plane...later in the evening...I think it was Jim Shoulder's brother showed up...he was thinking Jim was supposed to be on that flight...luckily he wasn't
I believe Ben Johnson was born and grew up in the Osage Nation area. I forget the town where it was. I do know that he is buried in the main cemetery in Pawhuska, Oklahoma.
I love watching Rodeos and when able used to go to Houston Livestock show and Rodeo back when Donny and Marie, Freddie Fender, and Charlie Rich performed at them. Opps guess that sorta tells folks how old I am-LOL Thanks for the great videos and I looks forward to the next one
I enjoyed your video about rodeo legend, Jim Shoulders. I had never heard of him or his accomplishments in rodeo. Thank you always for showing respect when you visit cemeteries, also that was a beautiful view from the cemetery. Take care 🐎
This video was very interesting. I remember watching bull riding and rodeo competitions on TV during the 60’s. Thank you so much! You are always so respectful. ❤️🙌🏻🤗
Thank you for watching Pam! If you see an event now as compared to when you watched them it has changed drastically. Lots of fireworks and loud music, lights etc. It has become a big business and show.
This Jim guy, looks somewhat like Hank Williams as a young man, was Very Nice of you to clean up , thanks for showing so much Respect, Yes, we Do Need More Of it....God Bless..
I like that you've been posting these cemetery videos lately. I can't visit the cemetery where my folks are buried and I kinda feel stuck because I don't want to go out too much because I'm high risk. I can travel by armchair thanks to you 😊💗
Great video Rhetty love watching your channel. I notice that the workers in the town I live in that work for the city dont bother to pick up limbs or anything in the cemetery where my grandparents are they just mow around them. So I pick them up and throw them in my truck bed. Have you ever done a video on Ben "Son" Johnson J.R.? He was a actor and stuntman and world champion rodeo cowboy. He was born in Foraker Oklahoma and is buried in Pawhuska Oklahoma at the Pawhuska Cemetery he was in movies like Shane with Alan Ladd and played Melvin Pelvis in Dillinger in 1973, Hang em High in 1968 with Clint Eastwood and Chisum in 1970 with John Wayne. As well as Fort Apache and She Wore A Yellow Ribbon with John Wayne.
I have been to his grave but I have not done a video on him. When I went to Pawhuska last year I was concentrating on covering the Osage Murders. I need to go back up there as I want to not only do a story on Ben but also a few other things. Ben would make a great one though. Thank you for watching!
I know you know your stuff about Oklahoma...I really enjoy your videos and history lessons...Troy Aikman's dad was a pipeline welder... and may have belonged to Local 798 out of Tulsa...it's the largest pipeliners union in the U.S....my late Dad was one of their original members...I was also a member for a few years...having set out a couple of years of college to go work on the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline with my Dad
I didn't know about that Local 798 union. That is interesting. I'm sure a lot of people have crossed paths with some of those Oklahomans from Henryetta. That's pretty cool to think about. Thank you for watching Billy!
@@curtisstewart9594....798 started in 1949...my Dad became a member in June of 1950...3 years before I was born...he worked pipeline for 35 yrs...all over the U.S. and the 🌎
Thanks for this,Rhett! Coming from a 'cowboy family'...this was yet ANOTHER AWESOME video! Know several bronc riders, some in my family. Really hard life w/ all the injuries considered. ✌️🤗
Being a horse lover and owner over the years of 3 Appaloosas, its always interesting to hear about "cowboys". However, due to the fact that bucking broncos were actually created by taking a cinch or back strap and tighting it over their sensitive areas to cause them to buck, takes away from the validity of bron riding.
The flank strap is a device that causes a minor irritation. It is loose in the chute and pulled when exiting all though it has a measure from being pulled too tight. This irritation is much like putting a saddle on a horse that jsn't used to it or a collar on a dog. They also use these on bulls. In many ways these are conditioning tools to let them know when it is time to go to work. These broncs and bulls are also bred to do this. But the flank strap is not there over an area that will cause harm. Once it annoys them then it causes them to kick out and back, jump etc. Rodeo stock was always a big part of my family here in Oklahoma. These animals had extremely good care.
Go down to Henrietta some weekends, terry don west bucks steers, good place to get on a few and get some practice. Driven by this cemetery a couple times
@@RhettyforHistory thank you for keeping the legands and our history. One of my heroes was and still is Walt just a pinch between your cheeks and gums Garrison#32 and he had Casey Tibbs and Mr Shoulders

As always, fascinating. When you get out to the panhandle look up some former town locations. Towns that literally blew away in the 1930's.
You're right about that. Others just disappeared with the changing times. Almost need to know where to go because it's so sparse up there.
