The flowers and photos are such a loving sight to be seen. Your respect for them, and picking up the wreath that had fallen over, is deeply appreciated.
14:01 From a quick Google search, I found that this marker with the initials FCL stands for Fraternity, Charity, Loyalty used by the National Women's Relief Corps which is the auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic, a Veteran's group of Civil War soldiers. I apologize if this was already answered in a previous comment. As always, I loved the video.
Nice videos! You mentioned about damage done with baseball bats. Well, I live next to an old paupers cemetery for 40 years. Over the years, I have seen the damage to grave markers done by the town's LAWN MOWERS! I'm willing to bet, that is what 80% of headstone damage anyone sees.
Amazing cemetery. The veteran that had no war listed may not have been in a war, but served in the military. It's a shame that kids feel the need to destroy things that don't belong to them. Great job Matt.
I enjoy old cemeteries. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. I so appreciate your respect and care of those who have gone on before us and for any family that may be left. You have a very loving heart.
My step father was a Salesman for a couple of cemeteries. He told us that during the great depression a lot of people couldn't afford tombstones for loved ones so they would make their own from concrete mix. They didn't really hold up to the weather and alot of cemeteries have lost the records over the years, so now there are alot of marked graves that are unknown who is buried there.
Nice video. I know I sound like an old lady but you are quite the gentleman and I appreciate your respect for the cemetery. New subscriber here, keep up the good work
Cemeteries are fascinating places and you always do such a wonderful job of showing them. The artwork in the stones are just wonderful! Thanks for being so respectful when visiting! Keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing!
I love exploring old graveyards!! I grew up near Williamsburg,VA and there are so many interesting,historical cemeteries scattered all over Colonial Virginia. Thanks for showing me a different part of the country!! Nice work!
Great find Matt. The old photos were great. We are losing that generation (World War 2). My Mother was 16 when Pearl Harbor was bombed in Hawaii and was an eyewitness to that day. She became a USO Hostess and loved to dance. I can still remember her taking me to where she was standing when she saw the planes and smoke from Pearl Harbor. She passed away in 2013.
my mother worke at the oak ridge site for the making of the atomic bomb. she passed in 2014. my dad is a world war 2 vet who fought in germany. he is 91 now and in frail hearth.. just sayin.
I love cemeteries, and we don't have mausoleums where I live so it's awesome to see this one. I despise anyone who would desecrate graves of the dead .. vandalism is just senseless. Thanks so much for sharing!
I just found your channel and I’m obsessed. Currently binge watching. I love genealogy, old graveyards and pioneer history. Thank you for sharing. We went to New Orleans last year and I could have spent months touring the graveyards there,
At--6:56--- That is the fireplace I was talking about! I've never seen one inside like that in a graveyard. Then you see pictures & you wonder what kind of lives they had. You're always so respectful. It's great to explore with you. 😊👻
Maybe I’m strange but I think graveyards and cemeteries are beautiful. The stonework, especially the more unusual ones like the tree monuments are my favorite.
dude ever since i found your channel ive been going through all your videos and its awesome i thought i was the only person who liked cemetary structures and art. I used to go through my local one as a kid and just wander around fascinated. Great work
That Mausoleum was hauntingly beautiful. Maybe that room with the beer was for the person who keeps the place clean? I'd need a beer too, if that was the case. Who knows? Love your work, Matt! Look forward to the next adventure. 👍❤
Hi Matt 14:01 the markings indicate that the Veteran was in the Navy The anchor on the right hand side is an indacator of what branch he served ,and did serve in one of the wars . Stay safe in all you do Merry Christmas
What a great video Matt, the respect that you show, for those that have passed before us is heartwarming. As you were walking through the cemetery, I could see what was left of a huge tree, it look's like it had been recently cut down. The sextons of the cemetery, sometime's have damaged/dead tree's removed, before they damage stone's. How sad that the only entertainment some can find, is to damage someone's final place of rest. I'm guessing the beer can's may have been picked up by the caretaker, after a late night gathering in the cemetery.
Sometimes I'll see unopened bottles or cans of beer that friends & family leave behind for their departed loved ones too. It's not always strangers partying or what ever else one might assume? The caretakers usually remove them each time they tend to the grass.
Your channel just showed up in my feed because I have been watching other graveyard videos. I enjoy visiting cemeteries and have visited many in Virginia and now Arizona. I just love the fact that I can now visit cemeteries outside my area by watching your videos. This mausoleum is fascinating as well as the gravestones you featured. Love it! Thank you. New subbie.
When I visit cemeteries and video a grave site... I leave a flower. I, go to the dollar store and buy $20 worth of fake flowers and leave them, as a sign of my respect.
The windows were stained glass, unfortunately people stole them because they were worth a small fortune. You did a great job on this video, very respectful. Thanks.
I know what you mean the stained glass is beautiful. To save the church windows they are covering up the stained glass with a window on top of the stained glass.. Next time you pass a church or a place with stained glass look up and notice if it has a covering of another window on top of it. Love your videos, I really enjoy watching them.
Hi Matt the triple links is a recurring symbol among odd fellows internationally connoting the motto of "Amicitia Amor et Veritas"; English. " Friendship, Love and Truth". A really lovely video, I love those tree memorials they are so artistically done. That Mausoleum was really pretty inside and it was nice to see it hadn't been vandalised even though there are signs of this disgusting behaviour on some of the outside graves. xx
Nice video. I actually live on the property where a very old Odd Fellows Home Building once stood. That building has been torn down and what stands here now is a nursing home, a building called Reflections for people in end of life stage, memory care cottages and an apartment building where I live called independent living. This whole campus is called Three Links. The three links are displayed throughout the campus. Feel free to message me with questions.
I like old out of the way cemeteries. Lots of history, some very old, and back then they often had poetry at the bottom. I find it amazing way back how relatives often died within days of other family members, smallpox, typhus, etc. etc. Even in the woods, now and then you will find an old abandoned family cemetery.
Loved it. Waiting for a new adventure, so I went back in time. I have posted this on my facebook page, maybe the 4th. I go back and watch them! Thanks, Michael!
My mom and dad are at Bergen Crest mausoleum in North Bergen New Jersey, it is literally falling apart and nobody cares I'm beside myself, I've written to the state of New Jersey and they're looking into it, I like your videos, this Mausoleum is clean old but well kept
There is an old cemetery here in Hurst,Tx.Mr Hurst is buried there.It is called Arwine cemetery.There is a fence around because people kept vandalizing it.About a mile from where I live.
I'm 72 years old and when I lived in Woodsfield Ohio I was 11. The cemetery there had stones so destroyed they were beyond repair. I wonder what it looks like now 60 years later?
Hey i always like to pause grave visit videos on YT and Google these peoples names. I found a Mayor from Indiana 1921. In the mausoleum you went in.. I always enjoy reading their past lives. Some had an amazing life.. Cool. Thnx bro.. Keep it up..

This mausoleum is where my grandparents are interred. Thank you for your respectful treatment.
I genuinely appreciate that you fixed the flowers and adjusted the turned markers. Thank you. I'm so glad see someone caring for the dead.
The flowers and photos are such a loving sight to be seen. Your respect for them, and picking up the wreath that had fallen over, is deeply appreciated.
Thank you, ErynRenee
Thank you for being so respectful there and tidying up. So rare that anyone does that anymore. Wonderful video and look forward to more.

You sir are a good soul. I am sure you are a most welcomed visitor. Your heart is respectful and kind.
This is really a great video. Thank you for showing us this beautiful place.
I like old cemeteries, every grave has it's untold story!!! 🙏
You were very respectful in the mauseleum. You should tell the office that the mauseleum was open. Good video.
Thank you for showing these!
good Job straightening things and being respectful. I wish more people were like you.

Kim Mckeever I so agree with you!
Sadly, its not always kids. We had an 50+ woman that stole 100+ brass flower vases off graves here...
I would love to catch someone disrespecting a grave. I assure you, they wouldn't do it again!!
Thanks for the tour. Sad to think that these people are gone and now forgotten. By touring old graveyards, it helps to honor the past.
Old cemeteries tell a sad story about people who are long forgotten.

- a fireplace and mantel in a mausoleum?, First one I've seen, what a cool idea., Thanks for showing us!
Its not that they were not professionally carved it's that they were done by hammer and chisel not modern machin tools.
people would come to be with the dead light a fire have lunch spend the day with kin
It would be great if you would read dates more. Love this.

The flooring tiles are really beautiful
I appreciate how respectful you are
its nice you picked up that wreath. im glad your so respectful. thank you
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you. A wonderful Mausoleum. 🌹💟🌹
I'm happy that you fix things as you go
Being from Louisiana, i suggest you go there! Cool mausoleums with haunted cemeteries!!! Shreveport, New Orleans, baton rouge...
Cemeteries are fascinating places and you always do such a wonderful job of showing them. The artwork in the stones are just wonderful! Thanks for being so respectful when visiting! Keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing!
you show a lot of respect with the straightening of the stars and in general, it is appreciated.
Really lovely adventuring with you; don't forget to leave a coin anywhere before leaving the cemetery.
I love exploring old graveyards!! I grew up near Williamsburg,VA and there are so many interesting,historical cemeteries scattered all over Colonial Virginia. Thanks for showing me a different part of the country!! Nice work!
The mausoleum is spectacular! So thankful the inside has not been vandalized. Looks like a few available vaults.

The fireplace was such a great idea and beautiful!
I learned a lot on this vid about organizations such as The Woodsmen and Order of Oddfellows and about the wonderful tradition of Decoration Day.
At--6:56--- That is the fireplace I was talking about! I've never seen one inside like that in a graveyard.
Then you see pictures & you wonder what kind of lives they had. You're always so respectful. It's great to explore with you. 😊👻
The fireplace is super neat! Never seen that before.
I love seeing the old photos. Side note I love the hand tattoo
Thanks, Jason!
Maybe I’m strange but I think graveyards and cemeteries are beautiful. The stonework, especially the more unusual ones like the tree monuments are my favorite.
That mausoleum looks exactly like the one at Beavercreek Cemetery near Grand Rapids, Ohio. Including the fire place alcove and the storage room.
Thanks for respecting the dead and there peace

Or maybe it was an offering to a dead buddy or something?

Matt, I love walking through cemeteries, too. We have some beautiful, old cemeteries in Little Rock.
Fantastic video Matt, I LOVE older cemeteries! I love the old mausoleum and gravestones, amongst the neat oak leaves!
Same here, I just recently filmed one... also filmed other's on my channel. :)

I love your videos thank you very much four shearing.
I visit old cemetarys also ,And the saddest thing I think is an old headstone that is unreadable .
When I visit cemeteries and video a grave site... I leave a flower.
I, go to the dollar store and buy $20 worth of fake flowers and leave them, as a sign of my respect.
Stone / concrete crosses are somewhat more common in older Australian graveyards, or they're added on top of an existing monument
I just started watching your channel and I love it !!
Thanks, Andrea!
@@539Productions greetings from Mexico 😎😎🇲🇽🇲🇽
If you visit the cemeteries at SpillvilleIA, there are the most amazing cast iron tombstones and markers.
Thanks for the video. Indiana had hundred of grave sites like that. I check them out when Im there.
Very good video! Tons of respect for being so respectful.
The windows were stained glass, unfortunately people stole them because they were worth a small fortune. You did a great job on this video, very respectful. Thanks.
Such a shame they were taken! I love stained glass, so beautiful!

That mausoleum was amazing it's just like the one in my mother's little town in Iowa 💚🌷💛👍
