Many years ago my wife (then a little girl) had a brother who was stillborn brother. Fast forward to 2016 and my now wife told me about this and I asked why the child never had a tombstone. His parents never had the money at the time, both dead now, it’s 2016 I said to my wife we must get a headstone of som. Now he has a lovely metal teddy bear headstone.....no more loneliness,,,,
Thanks Adam for taking us to your hometown of Mississippi and showing us around down to Elvis’s twin brother’s grave. Elvis statues are well sculpted too. Nice little town to visit. 👍🙏🏻🌷🌹
It's great to see a town that hasn't outgrown itself. As Vernon said Elvis had a God given talent that he shared with the world. Thank you Adam for taking us along to Tupelo, Mississippi. Great video!
C'est vrai aux états unis vous avez de très belles villes états et le Mississippi Memphis tupelo c'est très beau magnifique j'aime aussi les petites villes 💚
I'm certain there wouldn't be anything remaining of the brother but it seems like they could have just taken a block of the earth where the box was buried and move that to Graceland.
As a member of Find A Grave, it is sad to see all these headstones broken. The town these cemeteries are in should find funding to fix and replace there, because sooner or later it will all be lost. Thank you for the tour.
I'm glad you focused on a lot of "off the beaten path" points of interests for this video. I've always found that stuff far more interesting than the big city/big attraction type of sights. Thumbs up!
❤️GREAT video 🏆.. In July of 82".. Drove to Memphis on my motorcycle . To celebrate my birthday (30). GRACELAND was amazing. . Long trip from San Francisco.. . I still play guitar.. At a local rescue MISSION. .( GOSPEL SONG'S) . ( I'm 70) .may God bless you ALL ❤️
I would have thought that the family, after Elvis' success, would have had the means to move the baby to a proper burial place. I guess being in a shoe box, too much degradation of the babys' remains? It's just so sad.
Funerals in small Tennessee towns for the poor that can't pay the large sums is a form of cremation or put the body in a wooden crate and bury it on top of another grave usually a family member who was buried in the same way, One Tennessee funeral home was charging outlandish fees to families who could pay then dig the coffin up clean it then sell it again, GERALDO RIVERRIA did a tv show on the funeral home I mentioned, In one case deputies went to a funeral home while they were holding services and served papers on the deceased man and was going to take the body to the judge lucky for the family the funeral homeowners stepped in and stopped them, The deceased was being sued for 23.00 he owed to a grocery store and the judge ordered deputies to bring him in dead or alive and jail him if he didn't have the 23.00
Keep in mind the year was 1935 and during those times babies were never embalmed, pine boxes was used for burials. I'm sure that a pine box to bury a baby was the size of a shoe box.
he wasn't moved because he was burried in a cardboard box many decades ago in our very wet and humid mississippi. ... he has become one with the earth a long time ago. there was nothing left to move.
I'm from Tupelo as well and the local understanding is that nobody knows exactly where it is and you can't just go digging around a cemetery looking for something that is probably so disintegrated that there is really nothing left to find.
I've been in Funeral business for 27 years and I enjoy your visiting old cemetery's and sharing history and so nice of you to get Jacob out in the fresh air and out of the bunker for a while lol
Jesse was buried in a basic shoe box type coffin, it sure has since disintegrated by now with the DNA spread out in an 8 foot square by 20 feet deep (or deeper) mix of soil & DNA....THIS is the only reason Elvis didnt push harder to move his twin to Graceland or to lay with his mothers first grave site, Elvis tried every possible avenue at the time!..... With today's technology, it would be possible to exhume the bones and remove the amount of dirt to have it sifted for DNA and returned to a proper coffin, But Who is Left Alive in The Presley Family That Would Be willing To Pay The Cost for This Very Expensive Process?
My dog watches these vlogs every morning and gets cranky if he ever misses one...Not sure how he would react if he ever met you in person but I bet you guys would become best friends.
Yay! Adam, my daughter Penny and her husband Sam are currently living in Tupelo! I was there for the first time in December last year! Loved the place.
It's not really riots, and it's not all over America. Those protesters want more something for nothing. Trump supporters were getting the nothing for something. Maggie cleaned that up in the UK, now it's Americas turn to clean it up.
There are some protests but things really aren't that bad over here. Life goes on just the same as before... And of course there is always a new TDW to look forward to
I don't know about the USA - But over here in the U.K. we have door knockers cast in brass on our front doors ,that look very similar to Elvis's Lion on his necklace !!!
What I was told by people whom allowed you to enter the one room house in 1998. Was that Elvis twin was buried at night during this time period another infant child was being buried. And Elvis's father whom buried him had never returned to the burial spot for about 2 years and couldn't remember the exact location because bereft he was. So a stone was eventually placed were he thought he was buried because he still owed money on the market of the unmarked grave. I really wish I had that video and the pictures. The Elderly lady that was there was pretty knowledgeable showed me the 2 possible locations. 1 near a tree that was cut down and a roundabout clear area. Because Elvis Father didn't want to forget he was sad he couldn't remember.
I can barely believe that you are in Tupelo! I love, love, love Elvis. I spent hours yesterday watching and uploading videos about him onto my channel. I loved how he said that he wasn't the king, but that Jesus is the King! Three days before Elvis died, my Mom told me that she had a nightmare about Elvis. She said in her dream, she was walking to Church and had to cross a little ditch to get there. She said she looked down, and there was Elvis, "face down" in that ditch, deceased. She said she took that as a sign to pray for Elvis' soul. Three days later, our entire family was stunned that Elvis died, "face down" on the floor. :(
Bonnie Belle , WOW , that is an amazing story. People that I know are always amazed that I can remember my dreams so vividly . For a long time , I thought everyone dreamed like me , but I guess not . I can remember most of my dreams. I had a dream about Elivs not too long ago . I dreamed that I had his baby , but then it was not his baby . It ended up being mine and my husband's baby . The baby just looked like Lisa Marie. I dreamed I went up town where I live at a bank I use to work at . I dreamed Lisa Marie and some other girls I use to work with was there. Lisa Marie tells me omg...the baby does look like me !! Then I'm dreaming I am working at that bank again with Lisa Marie and Priscilla. They started being really mean to me and it hurts my feelings so I quit . That dream goes on to where I'm on this train or a ride of some kind. Then it had a wreck and all I can think of is that I have to get across that intersection to get my babies . Then these cars stop . People get out and start shooting at each other . I'm still running , because I've got to get across that intersection to my babies that were wrecked in that train . I woke up in such a panic.......!! That was the craziest dream......!!! lol !! Just thought I'd share that one with you . Hope you didn't mind !! BTW.. I like your name !!
I'm a huge Elvis fan, so I absolutely loved this vlog! Pretty darn cool and amazing to think of his humble beginning to the icon he became. And would it all have happened, had Jesse survived? Loving the videos and am always excited to see where you end up! Be safe out there!!
I read Vernon stated he couldnt remember where he buried the baby at the family cemetery.. I always interpreted that meaning the young Vernon most likely chose a location in the nearby woods since he didn't have the money for an actual grave burial as well as coffin. No one was with him for the burial. Done quickly & quietly. Probably the way it was done more often than not back then.
@@mrsTraveller64 my dad buried a stillborn with help of his grandmother. Mom was too distraught and still recovering from the bleeding. They buried him in a shoebox on the family farm. It was never said where exact location was. You are correct this was done more often then.
I think it's very cool the way you video the things you do, but then you don't miss anything else along the way!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Very Awesome! Thanks so much for another awesome video!👍🏻 Wooo Fan for Life!💃🏻Red Robin!🤗
Ohmygosh. I can’t believe Elvis baby brother never got a headstone . The car museum is amazing. If I ever went to the states I’d have to visit Tupelo. TFS. 🙏💜👍🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
The tub graveyard reminds me of my landlord's garage! One time he opened his garage door and there were bathtubs literaly stacked inside! I asked him why and he said, "Why not?" LOL
One of my greatest vacations was to Tupelo. My friend Trish and I spent a couple hours swinging on that front porch at that tiny little house. I'll never forget those couple hrs. Was very special to me.
Really enjoying the Woo and Carpetbagger together. Hope you ate at the Bonanza, haven't send one of those in many years. I enjoyed seeing Tupelo again. It has been years since I was there.
after Elvis and his Mom made their purchase of the first Guitar and left the store I wonder if the store clerk shouted ''' ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING '''
Lady Heart : I might have dreamt this up but I seem to remember reading somewhere that somebody did give Elvis some guitar lessons. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
It's so cool you and Elvis had that one thing in common. Jimi Hendrix and I were both born in Seattle. He died before I left Seattle in 1970. I have yet to return, but l hope to.
swampmammytheone he's dead so nobody is really bothering him unless he's earthbound and disturbed to which I doubt. and I can only assume Elvis thought it best to leave original tombstone for sentimental reasons.
Just Here : That baby does not need a headstone, God knows who he is and his soul was welcomed into heaven when he passed away. He had a place ready for his parents and his brother when it was their time to join him. God has welcomed all of them with open arms, they're all together again.
Isn't it so nice that you have all these people pointing out your one flaw in this perfect video when they knew who you were talking about anyway..... Isn't that just so sweet. :/ ( sarcasm in case anyone wants to point that out to me )
There is confusion into regards where Jessie is burried. Still to this day nobody knows, and that's a fact. That stone is not where Jessie is buried. Elvis tried in vain within his lifetime to find where his brother was buried. There are a few factors concerning the unknown whereabouts. Certainly the haste of getting the little baby buried contributed to the unknown location, Vernon his father was grieving for the loss of his son.Gladys his mother was unable to attend the burial as she was in not fit state after the birth. So yes he is buried somewhere in Priceville, but the location has never been discovered. Love the daily blogs bud, keep up the great content
I know people who are convinced that Elvis had at least one brother who lived and performed as Elvis, born a few years after Elvis himself (although I've read that Gladys had a miscarriage in the early-1940s). I think one of the names of Elvis's purported brothers is Franklin. I myself don't believe it, though.
I work at NMMC!!!!!!!! So glad to see ya'll in Tupelo!!!!! They took the Bonanza away and built Dollar General!!!!! Imagine that!!!! Nobody is happy about that. The Tupelo Automobile Museum is gone. I never visited there, but I know ya'll enjoy these auto museums. Please come back and let us know when you'll be here!!! I would love to meet you!!!!!
I know this video was posted several years ago, but I really enjoyed it. Tupelo, Mississippi is also my hometown. The Elvis Presley Birthplace is in Elvis Presley Park, and our old house is a short walk away. The church that owns that cemetery is the church my dad grew up in and where my grandfather severed many years as a deacon. I've been to many services in that church and funerals in that cemetery. My dad worked at Johnnie's Drive In when he was a teenager. As a small child in the 1970s, I attended Lawhon Elementary School in East Tupelo. This is the same school Elvis had attended. Thanks for stirring up some great memories!
Congratulations to all of us Elvis Presely Fans, I have been thinking about how loyal and faithful loving people we are, I've decided we must pray for the Hater's and give them no attention at all, I know I had work to do on all the people who have made a living off him after they wrote nasty books, and his ex-wife, but I turned it all into love as Elvis would want!!!
Btw Adam since you mentioned Bobby Gentry I thought I'd let you know that she was my mom's cousin. My mom's maiden name is Gentry as well and I just remember my mom always being really proud of the fact that she was her cousin 😊
You'll probably find that Elvis's brothers body will no longer be in the plot A body in a casket/coffin can fully decay within 50 years and if he was in a shoe box, he could have fully decayed even before Elvis died.
Awe, can't believe one of my favorite you tubers came to my town! I wish I had seen you! Great video! That train, Lordy be, we get stopped by it every day! We call that section cross town. If you're late for work you can always say, got stopped by the train. Every one is like Oh, yeah, the train. Thanks Adam!
Nixon Sings, "Love Me Tender"!! Good video guys Love the duo effort. Disappointed no lunch coverage, the South has great food, too bad you could not eat at Johnny's, you gotta find a place like that!. Keep it up.
Elvis and Jesse were twins and born inside the home they lived in. jesse didnt make it and he was put in a cardboard box. they cant exhume him because there is nothing left to move.
I watched a documentary last night that said the twin was moved to the same resting place as the rest of the family!!! So which is TRUE and which is a fabrication???
When my mother was born in 1927 she was so small and all the Dr told her mother not to get attached she wouldn't make it through the night !! Im assuming they prepared to loose her because her brother often told me she fit in a shoe box😢 but you know what she went on to have 8 children...I'm the youngest!! 6 boys 2 girls!! Mom my often called us each other names lol and would give up and say oh come here!! She often said a wish I had a nickel for every diaper I changed!! She thought it was wrong for my sister to use disposable diapers and she refused to use anything but a ringer washing machine!! She didn't know what doing things the easy way was!! 💖 We grew up on well water and an outhouse👍 And I used these things in the 1980s when I was a teenager🤣 I loved having animals and a huge garden every summer!! Canning things with my mom for winter!! Oh what I wouldn't give to have 1 day with my parents!! 😢💓
I know someone that was very close to Elvis Presley. We sat together one Christmas Eve 2 years ago and talked about him for most of the day. Elvis looked for the spot his brother was buried. Well he paid people to look, but the scenery had changed too much and he never found him. I know the person really did know Elvis because he’s a musician and pictures of him are all over the internet and on album covers with Elvis..
My sister died at birth & the funeral place that let my parents make payments is where my fathers funeral was! They had sold it by the time my mom passed! But no-where else would let them make payments they never forgot it! Most of the baby Graves had just a cement headstone my sisters did too! My parents years later replaced it with one that actually said her name and has little lambs on it very beautiful! The cement one's just say baby the last name & the date they died! Many still do!
Hey Adam! We are SO happy you're RIGHT next to us! We live in Starkville, MS. You should come here to see where Johnny Cash was arrested!! It would seriously make our day- even better to meet you! We've been watching you for years now!
The vending machines at my local grocery store still had cans of soda/pop for 50 cents until just a few weeks ago. Now they're 75 cents. I'd get one for 50 cents, but 75 cents is almost as much as it is for fountain serve at gas stations. Surprised they just didn't get rid of it.
That town is so cool and sweet, it's like time stood still there. I am so happy that it still excists and they didn't demolishe it to build ugly modern apartment-houses. On the other hand it was full of life and music and sounds back then, now all those voices are just memories..It makes me so nostalgic and makes me wish I lived in that time rather than now.
Man, I thought I was the only one who had a fascination with graveyards. I guess it's because my mama's side of the family have a graveyard. There's generations of my folks buried there. Got a famous cousin buried there. I'll be there one day too. You'd probably like it. It's in Copiah county in Mississippi.
Hi Adam, are you able to say how you managed to find this grave? I’m fascinated as so many people have tried but failed. As you’re a local boy to that area I though I’d ask you. Love your videos, been following you on here a while now. 🤗
Adam you crack me up! I was laughing so hard at the Elvis bit. I've commented a few times before so I don't know if you'll see this but I am officially obsessed with your videos. Cannot wait until tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your wanderings with us ☺
Many years ago my wife (then a little girl) had a brother who was stillborn brother. Fast forward to 2016 and my now wife told me about this and I asked why the child never had a tombstone.

1852?! Man I love old graves like them, I always imagine what kind of stories those people would tell if you ever had a conversation with them
I often wonder how Elvis' life would have been different had his twin brother lived.
I have a theory that he would have been the jim belushi of rock and roll
Polymath Voyd How do you mean? Don't get the comparison.
@@winnifredforbes8712 legitimately talented but still associated and overshadowed by his brother
Polymath Voyd Good point!
Elvis said he had dreams of himself singing on stage with his brother
I'm certain there wouldn't be anything remaining of the brother but it seems like they could have just taken a block of the earth where the box was buried and move that to Graceland.
I was thinking the same thing. Say a 6x6 by 8 ft deep.
I think it is at Graceland

One good shovel scoop would have gotten any remains. I’m surprised Elvis didn’t have him moved to Graceland.
You're absolutely right in everything you're saying...but they are in Mississippi, not Tennessee
Prevod
he wasn't moved because he was burried in a cardboard box many decades ago in our very wet and humid mississippi. ... he has become one with the earth a long time ago. there was nothing left to move.
I wish people like this guy leave Elvis' s brother alone. Thanks for sharing!
Jackie Kennedy her mother moved Jackie son Patrick to be with JFK the coffin was falling apart she said
Yup Vernon was celebrating Elvis birth he buried Jessie, at that house because they couldn’t afford to bury Jesse at the time. So he had to.
@drright10 RESPECT LEARN IT
I always thought his brother was with him at Graceland.
I've have always read that no one knew where his grave was exactly at.

Jesse Garon Presley should have been laid to rest with his twin brother Elvis
Deb Gorman he is
he actually isnt at graceland the couldnt move jesse's body so there is just a memorial marker at graceland for jesse
Elvis should have at least bought Jesse Garon a headstone
Jesse was buried in a basic shoe box type coffin, it sure has since disintegrated by now with the DNA spread out in an 8 foot square by 20 feet deep (or deeper) mix of soil & DNA....THIS is the only reason Elvis didnt push harder to move his twin to Graceland or to lay with his mothers first grave site, Elvis tried every possible avenue at the time!.....

Tammy Keatings your right may they rest in peace x
Thank You Adam. It must have taken some serious Columbo like research skills to find Jesse Garon Presley's grave.
cisio64123. Not really. I'm in England & I knew his resting place
no one knows for sure if that is Jesse's grave. Vernon gave up trying to find Jesse's grave when Elvis died.
I wonder why they couldnt move him.
Because there isnt anY casket perhaps. ?.
I think the baby's grave was left obscure so people wouldn't bother it.
My dog watches these vlogs every morning and gets cranky if he ever misses one...Not sure how he would react if he ever met you in person but I bet you guys would become best friends.

I can't stop watching his videos better than anything on the networks.
We in England see the news of riots all over America, but ATW is calm, collected and cheerful visiting interesting places. Rock on.
It's not really riots, and it's not all over America.
Those protesters want more something for nothing. Trump supporters were getting the nothing for something.
Maggie cleaned that up in the UK, now it's Americas turn to clean it up.
We haven't seen one rioter or even protester. I live in a city of about 1.8 million. Much of it is played up by the media.
There are some protests but things really aren't that bad over here. Life goes on just the same as before... And of course there is always a new TDW to look forward to
I don't know about the USA - But over here in the U.K. we have door knockers cast in brass on our front doors ,that look very similar to Elvis's Lion on his necklace !!!

Totally entertaining. Loved the vintage tubs/sinks. My dream! Yeah pink toilets!
I passed by that museum last week. Looked like something you would go to. From a fellow Mississippian
I didn't know you were a fellow Mississippian. I hope you are proud and not ashamed of your birth State.

I had my 3rd son 10 yrs later in the room I had my twins.
Cool😊😊😊
Crazy !
Nice video. Wasn't expecting to see a bathtub graveyard😂🛁🛀🚽
Who the hell would dislike Adam the woo?
Shame...shame. Go Adam!
He is funny!!
Erin Bricker Urban Explorer
That's for sure!!!
you narc.
Apart from his incredibly annoying intro, he's actually quite good.
I was also born in Tupelo. I live in Japan now but it's awesome you did a vlog from here. Good to see the place.
One of my greatest vacations was to Tupelo. My friend Trish and I spent a couple hours swinging on that front porch at that tiny little house. I'll never forget those couple hrs. Was very special to me.
Thanks for all the great videos Adam! You are a great spokesperson for the old Americana History that we all miss. I really enjoy it.
That was very interesting...my kind of exploring. And thanks for not ruining it with loud obnoxious music.
Thank you for making these. Elvis Presley is very special to me. I’ve been a big fan since I was 8 years young.
Elvis is special for most of us♥️I "inherited" my moms love for him, she was about the same age as him, she knew of him since he became Elvis♥️
Man I wish I hadn't heard you try to sing, now I can't un hear it. Scarred for life.
I really dislike when people make fun of Elvis
Really enjoying the Woo and Carpetbagger together. Hope you ate at the Bonanza, haven't send one of those in many years. I enjoyed seeing Tupelo again. It has been years since I was there.
One humble thing about Elvis is, he would tell people that he isn't the king, Jesus is the King.
God Bless the man that was Elvis Presley.
after Elvis and his Mom made their purchase of the first Guitar and left the store I wonder if the store clerk shouted ''' ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING '''
Lady Heart :
I might have dreamt this up but I seem to remember reading somewhere that somebody did give Elvis some guitar lessons. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Of course not that saying was not used for elvis until the 1970s
No they didn't !!!
Thanks for taking us along for the ride Adam.
It's so cool you and Elvis had that one thing in common. Jimi Hendrix and I were both born in Seattle. He died before I left Seattle in 1970. I have yet to return, but l hope to.
Kelly Donahue been there yet
The largest cedar bucket is in Murfreesboro, TN. This one in Oxford, Miss is a poser. The Murfreesboro bucket has been restored.
whoa?!?! 50 cent sodas?!? what madness is this?
ron s Definitely in front of a Walmart. 😂
^right! I've been to Walmart all over the country and they have 50 cent Pepsi vending machines outside. It's really common
My Dairy Queen has .45 cent coffee and .60 cent hamburgers.
Oh Adam,you read my mind!!!I just love Elvis!!Thanks for share this video!!
Jessie needs a real headstone how sad, you wouldn't find anything left even if they did try to dig up remains.Leave him alone
swampmammytheone
he's dead so nobody is really bothering him unless he's earthbound and disturbed to which I doubt.
and I can only assume Elvis thought it best to leave original tombstone for sentimental reasons.
PS
millionaire's in my family left a relatives tomb alone due to such reasons of the first buried in our plot section.
elvis. presley. is. not. dead. hes. alive. and. well. at. graceland. and. still. making. music
Just Here :
That baby does not need a headstone, God knows who he is and his soul was welcomed into heaven when he passed away. He had a place ready for his parents and his brother when it was their time to join him. God has welcomed all of them with open arms, they're all together again.
Amy Clark and.you.are.stupid.as.fuck! What’s with putting periods after every word moron?
Isn't it so nice that you have all these people pointing out your one flaw in this perfect video when they knew who you were talking about anyway..... Isn't that just so sweet. :/ ( sarcasm in case anyone wants to point that out to me )
There is confusion into regards where Jessie is burried. Still to this day nobody knows, and that's a fact. That stone is not where Jessie is buried. Elvis tried in vain within his lifetime to find where his brother was buried. There are a few factors concerning the unknown whereabouts. Certainly the haste of getting the little baby buried contributed to the unknown location, Vernon his father was grieving for the loss of his son.Gladys his mother was unable to attend the burial as she was in not fit state after the birth.
So yes he is buried somewhere in Priceville, but the location has never been discovered.
Love the daily blogs bud, keep up the great content
Late to your comment but i see a Church in video. So maybe a Church has records?
he's alive so is Elvis Presley 3 boy s at birth were born
There us a church with records I've seen the book that grave is Virginia Presley Noah's sister
@@barbarapatterson7238 - It's all so weird....it's like the script to 'The Omen' movie.
I know people who are convinced that Elvis had at least one brother who lived and performed as Elvis, born a few years after Elvis himself (although I've read that Gladys had a miscarriage in the early-1940s). I think one of the names of Elvis's purported brothers is Franklin. I myself don't believe it, though.
I work at NMMC!!!!!!!! So glad to see ya'll in Tupelo!!!!! They took the Bonanza away and built Dollar General!!!!! Imagine that!!!! Nobody is happy about that. The Tupelo Automobile Museum is gone. I never visited there, but I know ya'll enjoy these auto museums. Please come back and let us know when you'll be here!!! I would love to meet you!!!!!
Thanks! I wonder why Elvis didn't spring for his twins headstone as an adult. 🤔
I thought i read that they had to move Jesse to a secret location bc of grave diggers and his mom was scared someone was going to take him
I somehow don't believe Elvis would have left his brother there alone, I believe he had his remains digged up and moved to Graceland.
@@BrandyH-eh9up Do you mean after,when Elvis became a star?
Adam has the best vlogs. All entertaining and very informative. He really does the best job on these videos. Natural talent. Great job Adam!
I went there to the Tupelo Museum 3 years ago. I want to go back and see Elvis's birth home.
I know this video was posted several years ago, but I really enjoyed it. Tupelo, Mississippi is also my hometown. The Elvis Presley Birthplace is in Elvis Presley Park, and our old house is a short walk away. The church that owns that cemetery is the church my dad grew up in and where my grandfather severed many years as a deacon. I've been to many services in that church and funerals in that cemetery. My dad worked at Johnnie's Drive In when he was a teenager. As a small child in the 1970s, I attended Lawhon Elementary School in East Tupelo. This is the same school Elvis had attended. Thanks for stirring up some great memories!
Two days in a row of no "vlog over".....NOW I know your just messin with us to see if we're paying attention.
Doran Amatto .
Still with ya, Adam! Sorry I can't comment as often. I'm back to work. I look forward to your vlogs every day to help calm my day. :)
Congratulations to all of us Elvis Presely Fans, I have been thinking about how loyal and faithful loving people we are, I've decided we must pray for the Hater's and give them no attention at all, I know I had work to do on all the people who have made a living off him after they wrote nasty books, and his ex-wife, but I turned it all into love as Elvis would want!!!
Drove past that bucket and those bathtubs many times when I lived in batesville and worked in oxford
Should probably feel like an honor to be born in the same place as Elvis Presley.
The guitar was a good choice.
Beautiful old cars, time for a bath.
Btw Adam since you mentioned Bobby Gentry I thought I'd let you know that she was my mom's cousin. My mom's maiden name is Gentry as well and I just remember my mom always being really proud of the fact that she was her cousin 😊
You'll probably find that Elvis's brothers body will no longer be in the plot A body in a casket/coffin can fully decay within 50 years and if he was in a shoe box, he could have fully decayed even before Elvis died.
Awe, can't believe one of my favorite you tubers came to my town! I wish I had seen you! Great video! That train, Lordy be, we get stopped by it every day! We call that section cross town. If you're late for work you can always say, got stopped by the train. Every one is like Oh, yeah, the train. Thanks Adam!
if I just had that milk truck in my life - i would be complete
Dude I love your gray hair
Nixon Sings, "Love Me Tender"!! Good video guys Love the duo effort. Disappointed no lunch coverage, the South has great food, too bad you could not eat at Johnny's, you gotta find a place like that!. Keep it up.
Elvis and Jesse were twins and born inside the home they lived in. jesse didnt make it and he was put in a cardboard box. they cant exhume him because there is nothing left to move.
I watched a documentary last night that said the twin was moved to the same resting place as the rest of the family!!! So which is TRUE and which is a fabrication???
Awesome vid Woo. Both you and Carpetbagger are awesome "tour" guides. Keep up the great work!!
When my mother was born in 1927 she was so small and all the Dr told her mother not to get attached she wouldn't make it through the night !! Im assuming they prepared to loose her because her brother often told me she fit in a shoe box😢 but you know what she went on to have 8 children...I'm the youngest!! 6 boys 2 girls!! Mom my often called us each other names lol and would give up and say oh come here!! She often said a wish I had a nickel for every diaper I changed!! She thought it was wrong for my sister to use disposable diapers and she refused to use anything but a ringer washing machine!! She didn't know what doing things the easy way was!! 💖 We grew up on well water and an outhouse👍 And I used these things in the 1980s when I was a teenager🤣 I loved having animals and a huge garden every summer!! Canning things with my mom for winter!! Oh what I wouldn't give to have 1 day with my parents!! 😢💓
8:45 - I thought that stood for The CarpetBagger. 😂
I know someone that was very close to Elvis Presley. We sat together one Christmas Eve 2 years ago and talked about him for most of the day. Elvis looked for the spot his brother was buried. Well he paid people to look, but the scenery had changed too much and he never found him. I know the person really did know Elvis because he’s a musician and pictures of him are all over the internet and on album covers with Elvis..
"Look - Cows!" totally reminded me of Throw Momma From The Train.
therebelrogue. You've made me go & watch that film now, I haven't seen it for years. I just love 'Big' Danny 😀
My sister died at birth & the funeral place that let my parents make payments is where my fathers funeral was! They had sold it by the time my mom passed! But no-where else would let them make payments they never forgot it! Most of the baby Graves had just a cement headstone my sisters did too! My parents years later replaced it with one that actually said her name and has little lambs on it very beautiful! The cement one's just say baby the last name & the date they died! Many still do!
I love Elvis 🕺🏻 forever 💕
Hey Adam! We are SO happy you're RIGHT next to us! We live in Starkville, MS. You should come here to see where Johnny Cash was arrested!! It would seriously make our day- even better to meet you! We've been watching you for years now!
(BTW, My son's bday is Aug 9th and mine is Aug 11th)
The vending machines at my local grocery store still had cans of soda/pop for 50 cents until just a few weeks ago. Now they're 75 cents. I'd get one for 50 cents, but 75 cents is almost as much as it is for fountain serve at gas stations. Surprised they just didn't get rid of it.
Randy
all Walmarts are 50 cents. I even seen Walmart brand machines for 30 cents this year.
Randy mmm
That town is so cool and sweet, it's like time stood still there. I am so happy that it still excists and they didn't demolishe it to build ugly modern apartment-houses. On the other hand it was full of life and music and sounds back then, now all those voices are just memories..It makes me so nostalgic and makes me wish I lived in that time rather than now.
Why was 7:48 my favorite part of the video? Bonanza baby!!
Cynical Atheist
Thanks for filling in the missing pieces on his brother, TDW. I never knew of Mr. Presley's brother. Sad about bruied in a shoebox.
i like that you're with your good friend Jacob the Carpetbagger ^_^
Tire man has brake pads for a mouth and engine flywheels for eyes!
Man, I thought I was the only one who had a fascination with graveyards. I guess it's because my mama's side of the family have a graveyard. There's generations of my folks buried there. Got a famous cousin buried there. I'll be there one day too. You'd probably like it. It's in Copiah county in Mississippi.
well if your ever in alabama check out bass cemetery in birmingham
Mornin Adam! Hope you have an awesome day!
Hi Adam, are you able to say how you managed to find this grave? I’m fascinated as so many people have tried but failed. As you’re a local boy to that area I though I’d ask you. Love your videos, been following you on here a while now. 🤗
Thanks Adam and Jacob, very interesting Tupelo tour
Adam you crack me up! I was laughing so hard at the Elvis bit. I've commented a few times before so I don't know if you'll see this but I am officially obsessed with your videos. Cannot wait until tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your wanderings with us ☺
