My Grandmothers baby died at 9 months old in 1916. He is buried at Mount Carmel in Hillside IL. I went to visit his grave and discovered that he didn't have a headstone. My whole family has headstones except for baby Giuseppe and I couldn't understand why. So I wanted to get him one and inquired in the office about his grave. That's when I found our that he was buried along with another 6 month old baby who died a year after him, and also with a young man who died a year or so before him. So the cemetery told me that if I get Giuseppe a stone then I will have to put all three names on it. I'm working now on trying to determine the relationship between the three. I think they are all related on my grandfather's side. I will get them a stone either way though
Dear Flo Costa ~ I Commend You For Your Wonderfully Caring Efforts. Gosh, I Wish This Ol’ World Had More People Just Like You In It!!
@@poohbearsauntie Awww, that's so kind of you to say. Thank you.
you have a lot of respect, bless you
I have two uncles who died young. One buried in the Ukraine, and another buried in America. Both before 1916. My grandparents came to the US in 1913, and one uncle had passed before they left, and the other shortly after. My late father and his younger brother Henry is named in the same two names. Edward and Henry
Wow that's just awesome
Looked up George Wesley Williams and found him on Findagrave. He was killed in a fight... stabbed in the neck. 18 years old. Sad. Great video, Lamont!
aww sad R.I.P George, Awesome find Thanks Harley Cat!!!!
I think it's a cold case...? I looked up the story on newspapers site and didn't find out anything about a suspect or motive.
Thank you for doing that 😊 & sharing the info
Wow! Thanks for sharing
Your name is cool.
Yes it’s very hot drink lot of water. I had to give my mail man 2 bottles of water yesterday he looked like he was ready to pass out.
I keep Gatorade and propel drinks in my fridge for the garbage men. I need to start offering it to the mailman also!
Yup , here in Texas it's suppeerrrr hot 🔥 stay hydrated everyone
The man should have a small cooler with him in his car carrier 🤦♂️
I’m sure he appreciated it.👏🏽I’m a mail lady and I have several people throughout my day look out for me with water and Gatorade.
Legend! Thanks for helping him
I’m in Kentucky. Maybe one day in the near future my son and I can help volunteer with the restoration efforts of this cemetery. Thank you for sharing this story, Lamont.
I volunteer at a cemetery in Broadwater, West Sussex. Tidying and cleaning the graves and grounds every month. Felt like I needed to give back to the universe in some way ✨️ Its a beautiful cemetery. Majority of graves are 1800's or early 1900's.
Thank you for that. The cemetery my great grandma is at is taken care of by volunteers
Well done
Hello from Hastings, neighbour!🙋🏽♀️
In the 1960's giving the mail carrier a cold drink was a very common thing for people to do to help! Glad to see more people are continuing that practice in 2022! 🤗
At Christmas time I always give a $50 dollar gift card ( visa) to my mailman and a case of Budweiser beer for the garbage collector
Someone asked me one time if I'd live next door to a Cemetery. I told them absolutely, there would never be noise complaints.
My parents use to before I was born. Strange thing is I use to have a reoccurring dream of My mom walking in it and would keep looking back at her as I ran away from her
I lived across the street from a huge cemetery that was about 5/6 city blocks. It was interesting.
I give credit to the volunteers..they're doing their best. This is another example confirming my choice of cremation
😢😢
I'm hoping aquamation is legal here when I die. It sounds promising. If not, I'll do cremation. Both my husband's parents and my grandparents were cremated.
Hey Lamont! What a haunting, beautiful cemetery. I could watch your cemetery walks and listen to your “yammering” for hours. I actually wish your videos were longer because they are always so interesting. Your spoken thoughts and observations are what make your videos so much better than other “cemetery videos.” So keep on yammering. I appreciate your work.
Same here Lamont that’s what makes you interesting not scripted. 👍👍
Lamont I found that Cemetery so pretty for some reason it looked cozy! Lamont keep up the good work l adore your videos and the stories that go along with the videos ( awesome ) ❤😍
Amen
Same here 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Same here, I love your additional comments and thoughts. It all paints a bigger, clearer picture. I appreciate you and your work. You bring life to the stories.
Your "rambling" is not rambling :) You have a compassionate perspective and are an excellent story teller.
It’s nice to hear that people care enough to take the time to clean up and remember all those unfortunate people buried there. It just shows there is still good in this world.
My prayers go out to everyone that's buried at the Eastern Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky, and their families.
⁸🥵999⁹⁹
My two brothers are there 😭
@@sheltonkristy, I'm sorry to hear that and I'm sending my prayers to you and your family.
I'm not sure how prayers for the dead can help. But nice gesture.
Dear@@dennisneo1608 ~ Well, It Can’t Hurt, Can It..? I Commend Them.
My infant brothers are buried there. I had to put ones headstone back on his grave because someone broke it and moved it and we can't find my other brothers grave at all . There were grave robbers many years ago there and that place is so neglected. It just has a heavy vibe when you're there.
It's sad when people get buried in a pauper's grave. It's as if that person never existed or their time on earth didn't mean anything. Where as rich people have a 30 ft statue marking their grave
Its so not fair.
Yeah it's bloody sickening 😡😪
Unfortunately I think that's what a freind of mine who died Dec 3 what his sister his only next of kin did
.
I wanted to give him a service etc his sister who hated him didn't. She cremated him without any service and the police ordered me not to have any contact with her.
Told the damn detective I wouldn't put it past her to throw his ashes in the garbage or flush him down the toilet
I miss my frejnd so damn much. 55 was too young to die from acute heart failure
The indigent burial sounds best to me. No markers, no chemicals, just the remains returned to the earth, to give back to the earth. This is a very expensive burial if you have the ability to pay. Poor folks get it for free.
So sad that cemetery is neglected, hopefully the volunteers help even more, the city should take care of their death citizens.
Sorry to tell you but your politicians don't even care about the live ones why should they care about their dead
It cost lots of tax dollars, so people fuss either way, easy to fuss about the cemetery and then they fuss about why they should pay more taxes
The city/govt doesn’t even take care of their living citizens.
@@SleezyMoves so don't expect them to take care of the dead ones , would you like mow 7 acres of land and then weed eat around thousands of tomb stones ? It would cost hundreds of dollars just in gas alone for the mower , go ahead and knock that out
A Scout troop should take this cemetery on to take care of the grass, lawn etc.🤔🪦🪦🪦

That was very interesting. My Daddy told us when we were young that he didn’t want to be buried in a certain cemetery. He said they buried people on top of one another. He had dug up a babies shoe when he was helping to dig a grave once. So when Daddy passed in 1983 he was buried elsewhere.
According to an article in his Find A Grave memorial, George Wesley Williams was in a fight and died from a stab wound to the neck.
YESSSSS!!!!! This cemetery is so dear to my heart, my heart aches for the souls buried here. My cub scout troop helped put flags on veterans graves on Memorial Day!!
I wonder if the "storage shed" may have been used during the winter when the ground was too frozen to dig a grave..
It does look like the brick "receiving vault" in an old local cemetery.
@@amyyoung2830 correct. It was the original funeral home so to speak in the 19th century and early 20th. A staging area prior to burial
It’s sad enough that those poor souls had to endure living in poverty and squalor and they have to endure the same thing after death! Instead of being buried with their family, they have to be buried with strangers! Sad the way that cemetery is kinda neglected! God rest their souls 🙏
It's good that the volunteers take care of the cemetery. God bless them!
I worked on the mapping project for Eastern Cemetery when the state took control. The cemetery had room for 30,000 graves and to date there are 130,000 plus buried there. Cremains thrown out, urns stolen and sold. The states first crematorium is located there and the inside was destroyed by vandals. The salvaged cremains and records (What was left) are now housed at the University of Louisville archeology dept. Burials were discontinued due to the nature of what has taken place there.
Stuff like this gives me more thoughts on cremation. This is purely appalling and those ought to be shamed for life. Stay safe blue eyes
I'm donating my body to science...after 2-10 years they will cremate you and then my kids can put my ashes with my Dads grave and my baby daughters grave...
Well my grandma was cremated and my tweaked aunt got her remains because he was the oldest and she passed as well and no one knows what happened with my grandmas remains because my aunt lost them from tweaking so it can be bad either way I guess
Nice work, Lamont. An old cemetery with character as you describe, can seem full of wonder and curiosity. Modern cemeteries with flat markers for mowing, seem sterile in comparison. To me a manicured modern graveyard is kind of boring to survey. Give me the hodge-podge of an old cemetery to stir my thoughts.
Love walking cemeteries like this. Love your rambles. Take care, Lamont.
The cemetery does have character and a lot of history. A very intriguing place. I very much enjoyed the tour. Thank you.
I'm 71 and I love hearing you talk God bless you
What a kind soul you are, Lamont. I only got dizzy at the end when you spun around. Stay safe....
I too went all oopsy daisy with the fast movements. Not used to that. Lamonts videos are normally calm. I get extreme vertigo and have to stop watching if too much wizzing.
Hey Lamont. Keep up the Fascinating Videos 📹👏👍👌💪.
Googled and it states officially abandoned in 1989 and under Wikipedia it states it is maintained by several groups/organizations and also reads it is the subject of a 2017 documentary Facing East, referring to Eastern as the most over-buried cemetery in America:( I could find no add'l information for George Wesley Williams.
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord all of that is ridiculous do not have money in the ground
What the city should do is coordinate with the sheriff's dept and have their work release program go on the weekends and maintain the grounds. You can use the funds from the program that the offenders have to pay to supplement the yard equipment.
Yammer away Lamont. I like hearing your thoughts buddy
I enjoy your long ramblings Lamont, along with the cemetery walks since I can no longer do them.
Your "yammering" is better any day than some of the junk that's being put out as content by other vloggers..be safe Lamont and keep it up..appreciate what you do 🙂
Amen
Right. I agree. He speaks his mind, and his heart.
I love when you say ‘or what have you’ I don’t know why haha. Another fantastic video Lamont! :)
There's a cemetery in Montgomery, Alabama that has multiple people buried on top of each other, in one grave. But, it's family members, and it's done to save space in the cemetery. It's allowed and not considered disgraceful.
136 thousand ppl is mind boggling to me” God Bless them all… Blessings to You” Lamont ☺️
You’re not jabbering I’m still here watching and I’m sure there’s others still here too lol. Great video and I really love your content 💜💜💜
That area that said eye soar was maybe a memory garden where you can spread ashes and there is usually a plaque that gives names of those spread there.
Speaking of mausoleums, my husband’s family has the only mausoleum at the Evergreen cemetery in East LA. There are some beautiful headstones there of familiar LA names.
I’m going to explore that cemetery while I’m out here in LA…one of the oldest cemetery with tons of photos…Lamont should definitely explore that cemetery
Hey hey! Glad you remembered my suggestion! I know a lot about Louisville crime and so forth. I'll send you some more items! :)
Kind of you to help Lamont out.
You're so sweet, thank you!!
Many families move away and that could be the reason there are not many flowers. My grands and greats are buried in Fall River, MA and the others are in PA. I’m in VA.
Love when you express your thoughts. Your character Shines Through!!! Very interesting graveyard truly found this interesting, the history is intriguing. Great Job 👍👍👍 Thank You Lamont 💖
Very interesting video many thanks Lamont. There is something about these old cemeteries 👊👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Enjoy your talking-----I do love the natural cemetery ---so peaceful...deer and other wildlife probably go through---not a bad place to be...thank you for this lovely vlog--!!!!!
we're with you Lamont. It's a sad place with a horrid past. Bless you for what you do.
So glad to see you explored here!
There's an interesting documentary that Friends of Eastern Cemetery produced for those who want to know more.
Behind the old crematorium is the baby section, its kind if hidden behind the building.
I went exploring at night there and it was the most eerie feeling.. it definitely made me keep an open mind about the possibility of restless spirits among us.. ofcourse, alternatively, it could have also been those other "residents" living at the cemetary that gave me those eerie vibes 😅😏
Wonderful to think that some people are kind enough take care of the cemetery. Old cemetery are amazing. Love hearing your voice Lamont, keep rambling on 💜
Thats so sad God bless the volunteers
Hi Lamont... or should I say Mr. Large? In Jackson, Mississippi there is a city run cemetery and in the middle of it is a piece of legal Holland. In WW2, after the Dutch had lost Holland and their territories in the Pacific, they still wanted to fight the Axis. A suitable place that allowed the Royal Netherlands Air Force to train year round was an Army Air Corps training school in Jackson. They moved in and were VERY well received by the local people. My dad was in training there when the Dutch were training, and as it turned out one of the Dutch flyers in training married a local woman after the war and moved to Jackson after working other places. One of his sons became my friend, making it kind of a full circle since our Dads had trained there at the same time.
The Dutch pilots training there, especially on small bombers of the type which were just for training, were killed in crashes, not just in Jackson but also in some of the satellite schools belonging go the RAF in other states. Jackson was the main administrative training base, and this was the case until after the Vietnam War.
The City of Jackson, in 1942 or 43, created a section of cemetery for the Dutch Flyers and then gave the Netherlands the ownership deed to the cemetery and legally, it is a piece of Holland! And over the years up to today, the local Dutch population and interested parties, decorate the cemetery and members of the Dutch embassy delegation, including a high ranking military representative, have a ceremony remembering the flyers and in remembering the friendship between the Netherlands and the City of Jackson. The old airfield is still there and planes taking off or landing fly right over the cemetery.
Excellent video! Not too long at all...I really, really enjoyed it! Thanks for your always interesting content.
It got to 109 here on Monday. So hot. Thank you to the woman who gave you water. Be careful Lamont this heat wave is gonna last for awhile
Fascinating graveyard Lamont keep yammering🤣 Thank's For The Videos Keep Them Coming
Great video Lamont.When my oldest sister was buried.The funeral home said they found somthing and was vague about it.We just told him just leave it.
This is one reason me and my wife is being buried on our property. We will have a tombstone. But we know after a few years, nobody will even know who we was, our kids will be gone. New people will live here, and our tombstone will most likely be destroyed or removed. It is common around here for people to be buried on there own property . There have been at least 6 buried within a 1/4 mile of our house in last 20 years. We knew all of them. 3 of them only have a little metal grave marker. one is buried under a tree in a unmarked grave.
Your down to earth attitude rocks. Your awesome. Thanks always Lamont.
Wow very interesting information 🤔 It's a great guess though. It's sad 😔 how dead love ones were handled.
Great video 😊 👍 excellent research too 🕵️
Great video Lamont I remember that married couple from before stay cool it’s 105 here be safe god bless keep up good work safe travels my friend I’m recouping from covid imagine that
Good work, Lamont! Yammer all you want , I enjoy your commentary on these cemetery walks. Take care of yourself outside in this heat, it's definitely scorching all over the east coast and other places in the USA .
Love these videos Lamont cemeteries are so fascinating. Can you imagine 100,000 people buried there but only 16,000 graves. Keep hydrated.
Bless the volunteers for their giving hearts & strong backs. It takes special people to care for unknown to you people.
Yahoo, another awesome video from my favorite RUclipsr!!
Your in your element ! That’s why your chit chatting!
~ Lamont my Friend ....Ramble Away ! ~ 😁~ Love to Watch you and Listen to your Stories , no matter how Long they may be ~ So - Carry On & God Bless ~ Toni ~ 💛~ 🪦
I remember reading about things like that happening as well as my Grandparents talking about it so sad thank you for sharing your videos are very interesting
Very sad no respect for the dead..good information lamont once again.😎👍
Hi Lamont. You had asked about 18 year old George Wesley Williams. I attached a news article on Findagrave. George was a murder victim who was stabbed in the neck during a fight. I could not find anything else on him. Most likely his murder was unsolved.
Thank u hun love listening to u.x
R.I.P. to all who’s buried there. God bless those people who help take care of that grave yard. Sad people being buried that way. Ty for story. God bless stay hydrated. 🙏🏼❤️🇺🇸
Beautiful weeping willow tree towards the end of this vlog.
Sammy Wilson buried at holy cross cemetery in Brooklyn New York
I love hearing your thoughts. Thank you for this video.
We have a Pottersfield here in my Town in TN...but we have a bank for perpetual care, and I like to trim up the bushes and stand anything fallen over....
You can yammer all you want, sometimes you just need to do that, hopefully they can get enough volunteers to come & spend a weekend or 2 getting it all cleaned up. Keep up the good work.
Good job Lamont… stay cool. Bridget from Calif
I too love these old cemeteries. I love the old tomb stones. George Wesley Williams "Slick" was stabbed in the neck doing a fight at 18... RIP "Slick"
It's so sad to see the disarray of that place. You'd think with all that's happened the city would foot the bill to keep it up. And if any cemeteries are haunted, this would be one of them, with all the poor unfortunate restless spirits.
RIP 🪦 🕊
Heats been ruff this summer. I dont mind your rambling videos just shows your concern and i enjoy the history of the people.
Thank you for bringing this to the public’s attention. I remember when this came to light. There’s an old cemetery in the west end of Louisville that did pretty much the same and probably worst
P.s. go to the old cemeteries on Preston hwy just south of Algonquian
We hit 104 in the U.K. yesterday and we aren’t used to those temperatures
You definitely need to make sure you drink plenty
That's horrible! Very interesting story Lamont, as usual. Thank you
Very nice to see there's still people that care, on their days off for free! Not much of them kinds of acts happen anymore.
Some cemeteries have perpetual care which means the property and graves are kept up. Hard to tell about this one maybe some are paying for perpetual care and some aren't??? It is a shame and and to the dignity to the people that are in interned there. You have a good heart and your compassionate to feel for these families. I live in Canada, Ontario my daughter is buried in a cemetery that's perpetual care. Once I came and saw that it was not in the condition that I thought it should be with weeds going around it and I made a phone call to the head office and the next day I got sent a picture of my daughter's grave where they had come and immediately cleaned it up it's never been that way since..
Personally I love the longer videos and love hearing you talk about things! Keep doing what your doing Lamont! Much love from Tennessee!
Lamont, you have a wonderful voice that is not only soothing to listen to but us also engaging. I also wanted to tell you that you have beautiful eyes! I always love your videos! Keep them up!
New subscriber . We love visiting the older graveyards we take pictures for find a grave to help loved ones who can’t physically get out to visit loved ones gravesites and we find them peaceful, full of history and beautiful. I heard somewhere once that you only truly die when no one says your name anymore so I always call out the names on each headstone as we walk by. Thank you for sharing and if you are ever in the Saginaw Michigan area you really need to check out the cemetery there , it’s amazing.
I was born in London .Many years ago it was a custom you had to be buried in your parish .when you died .So it was quite common for graves to be dug up if you was in a box you would be taken out and re buried with other bodies on top .Until the cemetery was full up .if you have a local public garden you can be sure that it is built around an old plague pit from hundreds. Of years ago
At 17:31,I saw what happened to be an urn sticking out of the grass in front of that big stone. Idk if you caught it. Good job on the video. You're getting better and better and RIP to them all!
That is not an urn for remains, it is one of the urns that decorates the tops of monuments. They are solid. I have several at my cemetery that got knocked off the old stones years ago.
@@tiffanymims8691 Ok, so it's desecration.
Going through Kentucky I’ve see a lot of graves right in the front yard of many homes
Thank you Lamont!!!! Glad you showed us the building!!! Sooooooo interesting!!!!!
I can listen to you all day lamont i never get tired 😊
I’m still watching thank thank you for the tour God Bless You✝️❤️🇺🇸
Really good interesting vlogs that you all produce. Keep up the great work 👍🇬🇧🇯🇲🤗❤️
Glad to see some people are still taking care of it.
I love listening to you always ❤ I always learn alot from you! Thank you for sharing your time with us 🇺🇸
Overgrown but for the most part not trashy until you got to the end. God bless the folks trying upkeep the place. Thanks Lamont.
