- Visiting and a start on cleaning the very sad and tragic grave of Mary Craig Crawford, an 18 year old girl who passed away during child birth and is buried with her infant "encircled in her arms" in the Waverly Hall, Georgia cemetery
Look at the sky at the start of this video!! I have always been drawn to this grave, as it had so much wear on it - but it’s also so sad.

I’m from the U.K. Like you I was born in the sticks and educated in the city. I love your channel, you infuse knowledge and understanding, past and present, everyone passed and present treated with the same respect. 🤗🌹What more can I say?
OMG! Merlin, the Philosopher that educated King Arthur of Caernarfon, he said ‘You only die when your name is spoken for the last time’. Never a true word said. 🤗🌹🇬🇧
You should film the work of the restoration.
@@scclif I am. Right now it’s available to channel members. When I finish there will be a video released to all.
Every time a persons name is spoken - they are remembered - that is an awesome gift you give these people.
You show so much respect to them by taking your shoes before you walk on their grave. You're a special person 🙏
You are doing wonderful work, Robert. You and Dan and Cecil, and Joy. And I agree with you on keeping the head stones preserved. Some people do like the patina, but I want to be able to see who is in the grave and to see the beautiful monument that their loved ones put there to commemorate a dearly loved person they lost. And when they bought and had the stone placed I believe they thought it would be seen for many years to come. You are not only honoring the people buried there, but their loved ones too. Thank you for all the love you put into your preservation.
Your doing great work, Robert. Thank You for caring so much for those who have no voice and have gone before us.❤
Agree!!
Even if you didn’t clean the stone and only spoke their names, you would have done a sacred thing. Thank you Robert🤗🐝❤️
Another great story Robert. Keep them coming 👍
This story reminds me of my great aunt who died in the same circumstances in 1919 (bearing her 14th child). They were also buried together in a very rural, but not forgotten cemetery on the great plains.
Well this is cool with Dan narrating from your phone call. Also that Dan reset the headstone. Very sad to imagine her and her baby, awww, most sweet and most sad. Always tragedy to die young. Very old style design, seems well before the 1860s. Cool Jefferson Davis, connection. Growth delaminates the stone, slowly chipping it away. Sister's stone wonderful design.You see with your eyes and with your heart. Nice weather this day too. What made you think to do this on this day? Enjoyed!! Even with 😢. 👍👍❣️❣️
You ,Dan, Cecil, and Joy are all amazing for all you do!
I love that you take the time to preserve and honor the people that have passed on before us. I so wish I could see pictures of what they looked like and I appreciate learning anything about them. They may be gone, but not forgotten.
Poor woman and child. She was so young. My heart breaks for them
...and the families who were all so excited for the birth of the child.
That D2 works miracles!🙂 Such an amazing difference after using it. I'm so glad such a solution exists.
I'm guessing Mary and baby died in childbirth. The family was kind to bury them together.
I try to imagine life back then, particularly where they're buried because that's probably the community where they lived. I picture a small central town, where you'd find the grocer, church, bank, saloon, doctor.
Acreage as far as you can see. Farms, cows grazing, crops, horse & buggies(??).
And of course, cemeteries.
Loving your heart for preservation. Your town is rich with history that goes back a long way. They're blessed to have you.😊
Such sad stories. I cannot say how important I think your work is in preserving these stones and the stories.
Very nice of you to do that, Robert! My grandma died in 1947 (16 years before I was born) during childbirth, her 15th child. But my grandparents were very poor, her headstone says "Mother" instead of "Mother and baby". There is a rumor that she had a stillborn baby after she h as d my dad, and that my grandpa had to bury the baby in their dirt floor of their basement, because they couldn't afford a cemetery plot.
So very sad!
Yeah so sad!
Aww so sad, but glad they are together. And what a thoughtful and kind thing your doing cleaning up the stones, thank you for that. I wonder if any distant relatives are still around to see this?
Most moving. Thanks for all your hard work.
Thank you for taking care of her headstone. Her husband Martin J. Crawford moved to Columbus GA after she died. There is a historical marker where his home was on 13th Street between 2nd & 3rd Avenue. He was a US Representative and then served in the Confederacy. They are both on the Find A Grave website. Hers has the inscription that is on her grave.
Your such a loving and caring soul Blessing 🙌 🙏🤜🤛
So sad but you have spoke their names to us, they are now remembered. What a sweet video, ty Robert!
Love and so enjoy what you do and so admire a young man like yourself get so invilved in doing this in preeserving history, and in saving and documenting old forgotten homes and cemeteries. God bless you Robert!
Robert love and enjoy your videos. May the lord bless and protect you Robert and bringing out the past history
I didn't know you cleaned headstones. I have watched you going in woods and finding old abandoned people, slaves and plantations. Very nice to see you doing this work also. You are a very kind person to tell the stories about people,show there old homes, Thank you so much for sharing. ❤❤
Thank you so much for caring for these headstones. When they are no longer readable, the history is lost. Kudo's for the preservation.🎉🎉🎉
My husband's ancestors and relatives are buried in the Waverly Hall cemetery. William Green Slaughter and Renva Amanda Storey Slaughter. Thank you for keeping the cemetery preserved!
Enjoy what you are doing, keep up the wonderful work, Mr Robert, I'm happy to make a donation and done so.
Watching these videos just warms my heart and gives me so much history.
Thank you guys for doing well informed, dedication and the love . May strength always be with you, abundance of happiness and peace always ❤.
this is a great history lesson we must preserve what was lost and forgotten but remembered thank u robert for preserving history
So nice that you clean these headstones up. Cant wait to see them in a few weeks. Im really interested in the cemetary restoration project you mentioned.
Thank you for caring so much ❤❤❤❤
I so enjoy your videos and the dedication in restoring past historical monuments. Your passion is inspiring and very rare. I highly appreciate and respect the efforts you have taken upon helping people be informed of your work.
Awesome work on these headstones. Such a sad story and I can’t wait to see how beautiful these stones will look in the future.
People, city, or county is taking good care of that cemetery. Hard to believe it was once vandalized. Looking forward to your restoration video.
Love the old head stones, it's such a sad story
Thank you for your service and dedication!
Thanks Robert 😊
D/2 is amazing, but I know the frustration of not seeing immediate results. Cleaned 4 veteran headstones today and not a single one had that “wow” effect. But, like you said, they will look beautiful in a month or so. Looking forward to more on the Hutchinson restoration project.
Keep up the good work Robert. I SO appreciate the job you, Dan, Joy and all the others do. God Bless you from North Texas. Just sent some to the PayPal. Wish it could be more.
Aloha 🌺 Robert! Beautiful marker! Aloha 🌺💖
You should be very proud of what you are doing. My paternal Grandfather, who owned the farm next to the cemetery in a small country town, maintained the grounds for many years. He is now buried there. It has been many years since I visited, but often wonder who took up the reins after he past. I loved going there, when I was a child, seeing the magnificent tomb stones, and reading the names of my ancestors.
Thank you you do a great job love from the UK 👏👏👏👏
Such a sad story. But today she’s been recognized n so be it her son. I love what your heart leads you to do. Each one of these people all walked this earth. They’ve had sadness n much loss in their life yet they knew joy laughter n love.
Thank you Robert for your beliefs that all them need to known n that there headstones shine as once their life had shown. ♥️♥️🥰👍👍👍👍🌟
Thanks for your thoughtful caring.❤
You guys are angels!
Robert, I had one in WV that was just as bad. The first time I cleaned it I though..”Oh no! I’ve ruined it!” I went back the next day and it was so much better. One more cleaning. Spray. The next year, it was a beacon of white in the cemetery!!! AND, the middle name was listed incorrectly as the growth was so bad. Thank you Robert for restoring this history. Somewhere up there, someone is watching over you. Bless you!!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you.
Great video. Someone may have noted this, I haven’t read all the comments, but someone has transcribed most of the inscription on Find a Grave. I never really considered the importance of including the inscriptions in Find a Grave, but your video shows how and why that’s important. You’re doing great, interesting work! I truly enjoy both channels.
On Mary Craig Crawford stone , I think it says….. While living she enjoyed an enviable…?
Unfortunately I couldn’t read the next word. I saw that with your light. I love your restoration!
Much Respect Sir✊💯👍
You are a great team ! Robert ,Dan, Cecil , Joy.
I support 100% your efforts to conserve the headstones that are so covered with biological agents. I follow another channel who conserves headstones and they love D2 also. They also use narrow brushes to get edges and also pointed wooden sticks to get into scrolling and lettering.
Bravo to you for preserving these stones that are showing us these precious souls. Their families I am sure would be so glad you are cleaning their loved ones stones as they intended for them ❤
It looks much better already!!!
Marble was easy to carve. The stone is so porous. Easily scratched, damaged and prone to growth. So beautiful. Growth can break the surface down and cause “sugaring”. Marble stones look wonderful once cleaned. They stand so proud!
Fabulous work that you are undertaking,we need more people to get interested in that work,always enjoy your videos as well,thank you
Thank you Robert for sharing these with us I always find it really interesting to see
Thank you Robert for all you do🙏
I think that is so wonderful, that you take time to do that for others ❤
Way to go Robert! I pray that you can read the stone, I have a cemetery up here I have to clean up, I just launched the video of it today @ 11:45 am
I liked this two times, once on tv & from my phone which is connected to my RUclips channel not the tv so you got two likes from me buddy. Keep up the great work your doing.👍👍 Have a blessed day
God Bless You Dearest Robert for all you are doing. It is so important to say their names and honor the life that was lived, and a person who loved so many during their lives. Their life and soul deserve to have the honor of people far into the future who stop, read, and respect them. You are doing a very great thing. Thank you for caring and doing all you do for these people.
Great history! Thank you
you really are a gift from god bless you robert for everything you do xx
Robert you are truly a special kind of person. We had some Crooks that married into the Barber family line before the civil war and he is at rest at our family church cemetery in Chambers County Alabama. We have a letter written by my 3rd great grandfather that mentions him fighting with General Johnson. Wish I could show it to you some day. Keep up the good work. Good Bless. JoAnn Barber
So interesting, thank you
Sweet baby & mom. With her baby forever 🫶🏼
So kind to clean the old stones.
Thank u for cleaning heads stones
It is a beautiful stone
Sad and Beautiful at the same time. Yes the mothers have that option. I wouldn't want it any other way myself. 🌺🕊️
Amazing!
Posted comment other day on your other channel where you showed old b&w photo of your grandfather but isn’t there anymore.Anyway,it was about the BirdDogg channel which shows a lot of Civil War soldiers photos.The last episode focused on Georgia and thought it might be interesting if a photo posted there may correspond to a headstone sometime.
It doesn't take many generations for us to forget those who have gone before us. In a few days, we will celebrate All Saints and All Souls Days. It is a good time for us to remember. I remember my aunt, Sarah Ruby Sim who died April 22 1919. She was 4 months 27 days and she is buried near our Grandfather.
Nothing much can be said about this, as respect is all thats needed. Im just glad you are preserving the memory. CSA or not
Y'all are doing a great job preserving those headstones and god is smiling at y'all for doing this
To say their names
Especially her baby
Where can I buy D2 cleaner
Always love your videos. Lee,
My great grandmother died in childbirth and we believe the baby was buried with her. They are buried in Blanchard, Michigan.
Who needs google when you can call Dan.
❤❤❤😊😊
I'm here watching 👍
Hi Robert. You are doing amazing things. If I would live in your state I would help you with this and the house.
I had an Aunt on my mother's side who also died in childbirth along with her Siamese twins, who were joined at the breast. The twins were buried with the mother in the same coffin. Circa late 1940s.
Awesome
that stuff on the top I believe is called lichen
Ya I think so
What ingredients for cleaning headstones ?@@AdventuresIntoHistory
hey wheres the other Robert been miss his silliness . You guys do a great job. And Dan is amazing historian. Thank you for this channel.
💞
Quite possibly if someone chooses to be buried, headstones can be made of another material in these days like carbon fiber.
Thank God you care. Thank you ❤🙏🏽
I always wondered what you used for cleaning the stones. I just looked it up and wow that stuff is pricey!
Great work as always, I wanted to ask if you ever considered a wax paper rubbing to see what the stone reads.
I have been watching your content and we have a Cemetery in Reo Georgia that is abandoned. Our cemtary keeper told is about it. 😊
Would you ever consider coming up to Wisconsin to check out cemeteries
I want a sprayer like that. Where did you get it please
It came with the D2 jug
At Atlas Preservation online. That's where you get D2 also.
Where's the other Robert? Miss seeing him. Would love to see him out with you again. 🧡
Robert why did you remove your shoes????
Thank you for preserving our history. Many people want to erase the past but I say we can’t change the past only learn for the future.
Didn’t wanna get headstone water on my Yeezy’s
My name is mentioned in the Book of names
Carla and Keren 😊
Good Mornjng. I’ve enjoyed your videos for several years now. Silly question. I see your shoes. Are those Keen Uneek? Just curious. Love mine.
Good morning. Yeezy 350 V2
How very sad
Really enjoy watching you.. I've noticed you have trouble reading some of the markers, can you use a piece of paper and charcoal to help. Not sure what it's actually called
❤❤❤
Have you tried charcoal rubbing on the undecipherable stones or does that damage them?
What are you using to spray on the stone? I ask because my fiance historical landmark family cemetery is 150yrs old on our property and could use some advice to clean them
D2, it is the only cleaner I recommend and will not harm the stone
Where can the D2 be purchased?
Do you know under Jewish law if you walked across a grave, you were unclean for 7 days and couldn't visit a synagogue?
I did not know that. Thank you for sharing that information. Does that mean unmarked graves also?
Also in the Torah the sky is blue because a glass dome holds up an ocean.
@@bleirdo_dude I never get tired of learning, thank you for the information.
