You get the sense of how important family relationship was to people back then. In their death, their identities are summarised as "wife of ..." or "husband of ...", "daughter of ... ", "son of ....", "sister of ...", "brother of ..." And the epitaphs are so lovely; families talking about how their dead ones will be missed. Modern tombstones often just identify the dead by his own name or his personal accomplishments, denoting a more individualistic society. I love hearing you reading the tombstones and often do a quick calculation of how old these people are when they died. Thank you for sharing your lovely videos.

Just a few months ago my mother passed and now I am in charge of all of them. My Great Great Grandfather fought with General Sherman right after he came here from Germany. He was one of the very first settlers in Indiana. I take care of his grave as well :)

I hope they did meet their love ones if there is truly a heaven. Then it won't matter what happens to their graves. What sadness me most is that there are so many in this cementery. A reason my ashes are being spread in the ocean. As I feel bad that I can no longer visit my father's grave.im too old & he is buried to far away.

I hope some church sees the importance of preserving this Cemetary for future generations to re-learn respect, reverence, pain & grief and love and hope- that we are here for God’s glory and this is the way to show it.

Somebody needs to take responsibility to clean that place up. I mean completely! Robert did an amazing job climbing thru that jumble. There are sure to be unmarked graves that can be identified as such. The broken headstones need to be raised and remounted. They are in really good shape but that won t last lying on the ground. Somebody has to own that land and should at least take the job on of finding someone to start this and to document their findings. It s history!

As an example, I have family buried in a graveyard in the woods behind a home in WV and have a "general" idea (1 mile radius) where the graveyard is, but I don't know if I'll ever find it. Luckily, someone took some headstone photos several years ago.
