Hey Robert, I hope this helps you in regards to the headstone for W.R. West that was located in the fenced in area.... The eagle with the shield that says T.O.T.E stands for "Totem of the Eagle" This was a group started by the Sons of Liberty during the American Revolution, that modeled their group after the Iroquouis Confederacy councils. They promoted patriotism and the American way of life. The three links of chain that say F.L.T. is a symbol of the Order of Odd Fellows, known as a three link fraternity, those three links being Friendship, Love, and Truth. Again, hope this is helpful I have such a fascination for old graveyards and cemeteries, and LOVE looking up stuff like this. I love your videos as well. I feel like I'm walking through the cemetery with you all.
I like looking in cemeteries as well. It’s even better when I have someone with me who knows some of the people buried there and to hear stories about them.
My great grandma was Creek and walked the trail of tears. Her mother died on the trail. Her and twin sister survived and were separated when taken to Oklahoma.
Great to see Daniel once again, have missed his presence on the channel and again great to see him. I am VERY impressed as to the almost prestine conditon and upkeep of this olkd cemetery, and the respect that is p[aid to all those that lay in heavenly rest here, as compaired to so many forgotten cemeteires in georgia..
Fabulous place!!! Thanks to all for braving the heat. Always good to see Daniel guest star, and glad his son decided to tag along. Never too young to get the history bug!
Enjoyed hearing about Horace king the bridge builder. Happy you helped a viewer out regarding his great great grandparents. Thanks Robert Daniel and son.
I love going to old cemeteries. It’s like going to a museum! I love to look at the old markers. It’s interesting to note the dates and sometimes how they died on the same date. Sometimes it’s families.🥲I’m glad I’m not alone. Thanks for the video.
I notice Daniel has slimmed down, nice job. His son is a real cutie and very patient for one so young. Nice video Robert, have missed you doing the cemetery walks😊
The eagle with word TOTE says is symbol of the improved Order of Red Men, a patriotic society. What a precious cemetery, ty for the walk thru..Loved it.
Cool thanks, Robert, Daniel, Hunter. I will have to come over there to Alabama sometime and visit that grandparents grave as well as Russell Cave National Park. Named after another one of my grandparents.
Mr Horace King was quite a man. John Godwin had potential. Maybe if more people had been like him, things would have been different. History is painful...hope we learned something from it.
For me who works on finding my family cemeteries. You guys are my hero. I think you doing that was so kind. I have to drive 9 hours to look at cemeteries to see my Grand, and Greats Grandparents, and other family members.
Awesome history lesson Robert, Daniel and son . Glad you're giving Sir.Other Robert a much needed break and a chance to locate his trademark green shirt .👕
Hello Robert, as older person with some hearing issues, I would really appreciate if you could turn on the closed captions for your videos. I have my family genealogy on my dad's mother's side of family. I was able to trace back 11 generations to the 1600's. History fascinate me in my older years. Thank you for all that you do.
The Red Oak Creek Covered Bridge built by Horace King is located just north of Woodbury off GA 85 in Meriwether County, I've taken many people by to see it
The youth on wall! When i was his age, i was doing the same thing when my gran would take us for picnic with the long gone relatives. We played hide n seek too.
A heartfelt THANK YOU for showing the graves of Confederate veterans and this one especially. We rarely hear the fact that most slaves were not beaten. This is a monument to LOVE and its ability to overcome racism over 160 years later. This scenario was an act that happened many times in the South, but we do not hear about them. God Bless you for presenting the facts. Also; as an interesting side note; AS a Labor and delivery nurse I spotted the two graves of Mrs. Lucy W. Ford who gave Birth to a stillborn, or infant girl named after her who died within the day of July 29, 1897, only 3 days after her baby girl was born. This was probably a uterine or amniotic infection as certain bacteria tend to make their presence known within a certain time...3 days is very common and that is why new mothers are requested to stay in the hospital for 2 days to watch for infection. At that time, childbirth was deadly as no knowledge of pathogens being passed in Labor, or in childhood. May they all rest in peace!
Great episode. interesting symbols. and FLT and TOTE information listed in the other comments. It was good to see Daniel and son! His son reminded me of the picture of you, Robert, as a young boy walking along the wall of a cemetery. We know how you started out, perhaps this young man will follow suit and keep an interest in history and preservation. I hope so! 👍👍❣
Cool cemetery! I loved those brick tombs. TOTE is Totem Of The Eagle, which has to do with the Improved Order of Redmen, a fraternal organization. There is a Redmen's lodge near here.
You knocked this one out of the park! A home run! Thank you so much for your hard work. I had never heard of the Godwins and Horace King. I will continue to do my own reading on these wonderful people. Thank you.
Ancestors on several sides lived in the south. One family went from Carroll Co GA to somewhere in AL to Itawamba/Lee Co MS. Later descendants moved to Texas then Oklahoma. I love visiting old cemeteries. My sister married a Godwin. Need to find out more on his family. Believe his dad was from Alabama. Thank you for your walks thru these parts of history for us that lived hundreds of miles away.
FLT stands for Friendship, Love, Truth, three degrees associated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The Odd Fellows, first organized in the US in 1819, is a popular fraternal/benefit organization. The emblem of the Odd Fellows is usually shown as three links of a chain. The initials T.O.T.E stands for Totem of the Eagles. FLOWER - a symbol of immortality. FLYING BIRD - a symbol of rebirth. GARLAND - symbolizes victory over death. GRIM REAPER - a symbol found on many early gravestones, meaning the inevitability of death. HANDS (CLASPED) - a symbol meaning farewell and the hope of meeting again in eternity.
Robert, this is an interesting video of the history of the families of the area. Good to see Daniel and his son! Wish you all good find and video some old abandoned bridges.
The initials T.O.T.E, which appear on the back side of the Tomahawk, stand for Totem of the Eagle, the secret password for the Order. It appears on a variety of Improved Order of Red Men items, especially grave markers.Jun 3, 2018 Artifact Spotlight: IORM Tomahawk - Clarke Historical Museum
I love touring the old cemeteries,it's just like a time capsule, people of all ages,places,events,being from India,visited many shrines and grave sites going back thousand years.but your research and knowledge is awesome.thank you.SOMETIME I WONDER WHAT WOULD I CHANGE,IF I COULD TRAVEL BACK IN TIME?
I enjoyed that. Next time don’t forget to introduce all who travel with you , that young man wanted some recognition for your wonderful video as well. See you guys on the next one
Horace King...fascinating reading.---Hiya Daniel, you look like you've lost weight since the last time I saw you, moving dirt to grade the muddy road at the Old Byrd Farm!---I didn't mind the cicada noise.
I'm not from your area and was curious about Horrace King after you talked about him. I Googled his name and got a great deal of information. It's sad that our history books only speak of only those we want to honor instead of those who deseve it.
TOTE - Symbol of the Improved Order of Red Men, a patriotic society. FLT The initials of the Odd Fellows lodge are “FLT” which stands for Friendship, Love and Truth as the basic guides to live by as an Odd Fellow.
Interesting - I live in northern Illinois, used to live in Wisconsin. Never saw a slab grave marker, fieldstone marker or a foot stone. Certainly not the slabs that are lettered by hand.
Hey love watching both channels, but always love cemeteries. Its interesting you mentioned Spanish Fort for your next video. I live here in Spanish Fort. Alot of great history here. Although I am not from here, my husband's family are mainly next town in Daphne, and they go way back, both parents family are well known also.

The W. R. West headstone is referring to the Odd Fellows. I don't know what TOTE stands for but the 3 interlocking chain links with FLT(Friendship Love Truth) within the links is classic Odd Fellows symbolism.
The headstone with the chain links with the letters F. L. T. is an Odd Fellows (IOOF) symbol. I have never seen the eagle with shield and letters TOTE, it makes me wonder if it is the initials of the local IOOF lodge for that area.
tote le mundo (Interlingua) Pronoun tote le mundo All people: everybody, everyone. Tote also means upward. But the german as mentioned previously sounds like the most appropriate translation.
Totem of the Eagle perhaps, a symbol of the Improved Order of Red Men, a revolutionary war patriot group like Daughters of the American Revolution. TOTE is a symbolic representation of one of their secret passwords. The emblem is an eagle and shield with the letters in the shield. They still exist.
Robert at 21.07 W R West grave the chain FLT is for the odd fellows he must have been a member still working on my 121-year-old farmhouse here in Wisconsin new roof new pillars going up this weekend and before that staining and sealing the front porch there is a lot of work here just like your is old fieldstone foundation and a lift up door seller that is 5 feet deep with a dirt floor love this old house
Handmade bricks were many times piled up and then covered with dirt and burned like a pizza oven kiln type of firing. The bricks came out rough but solid.
FYI; The Odd Fellows are often known as the "three-link fraternity" and the three letters of a chain represent Friendship, Love, and Truth. The letters, FLT are often embedded within the links of the chain. MR. WEST was obviously a member of the Independent Odd Fellows Society.
Even back then, perhaps more so, people were inclined to turn a blind eye to laws they saw as arbitrary or nonsensical. It was more common to have more need of an aide with aptitude than social conventions. Then as now laws were not often enforced against sense.
@9:30 never repair old brick structures with modern mortar. The mortar used with those old soft bricks was only lime and sand. Cement mortars cause the old brick to crumble.
FLT stands for Friendship, Love, Truth, three degrees associated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. I couldn’t find what the TOTE on the shield means

Just to the right of Ella Wyndam Jenkins marker are three large metal pipes, about 4" diameter, sticking out of the ground. Any idea what they are? Also, is the youngster Daniel's son? Why didn't you introduce him? The symbol at the top of W.R. West's marker (three links in a chain) is Oddfellows.
It was ridiculously hot this day and the bugs were loudly singing about it

I do too. I think it’s important to that the people buried in them are still remembered.

W R West was an Oddfellow. That's what the linked chain is - Friendship, Love and Truth
Being a bridge builder a steel plate seems appropriate.

Got them Casey style glasses 😂
Love your videos, but where is King buried?
Beautiful
WR West’s grave is an Odd Fellows grave. That’s what the crest at the tops is
Does anyone know where Horace King was buried?
Horace King is buried in the Mulberry Street Cemetery in LaGrange, Georgia.
... The initials T.O.T.E stands for Totem of the Eagles.
If you run a pencil across a sheet of paper on those monuments you should be able to see a lot of the ones that are hard to read,
That will eventually wear down already eroded monuments. It is not recommended
