Thanks Jeff, I’ve lived in Modesto since I was three years old, I am now 58. I used to ride my bike with my buddies to the graveyard at night and I remember that headstone that stated” I told you I was sick”… LOL those facts about Mr. McHenry or should I say Brewster I had never heard before. Interesting… I was one of the fortunate few who used to cruise McHenry back in the day. Graduated from Downey high. Thanks again Jeff, you did a great job with the history lesson.

This was really awesome to watch. I was raised in Modesto and my grandpa is buried in this cemetery, in front of the little building in the background where the flag is. My mom was a professional seamstress and though I'm not sure how she met the woman that was living in that little building, she began sewing for her when I was a little girl. I'm thinking this was a caretaker. On one occasion the woman asked my mom is she would like to go in the room where they kept coffins, and try one out. I believe that was the last my mom sewed any clothes for her lol I think she was just a very friendly woman. There's a lot of history there. I really enjoy your videos!!

Very interesting to hear local history. My grandfather was a tile and marble contractor in Motown in the late 1940's and my dad as well. Growing up there my family knew the local building contractors. A tidbit of history also is that many of the local older streets are not just named for status but for local contractors and their families, many of the sub contractors as well including my grandfather Coston Trent and the streets connect so the signs say Coston on one and Trent the other.

I was born and raised in Modesto although I have not lived there for many years now. As a long time historical researcher, I watched Jeff's videos with interest. I have numerous ancestors buried in both the Acacia, Citizens, and Pioneer Cemeteries. These include members of the Coffees, Mattesons, and Howell families. All three of these family groups were instrumental in the early days of Modesto. The Howells came to Modesto via a wagon train from Missouri in 1864. and are featured in an old publication "Stanislaus Steppingstones." Stockard Coffee also arrived via a wagon train. The Mattesons came out from Wisconsin via the Panama route at a similar time, All of these families had large farms and businesses in Modesto's early days. Their stories, while not sensational, also make for interesting reading.

It is very cool to learn about our people of the past. I recognized many names you mentioned, as the names of local towns, streets, monuments, buildings and schools. But the history of such, I was unaware. Thank you! I was raised in Atwater, only 30 miles south of Modesto. We had some rather interesting stories growing up, many to do with the Bloss family. We have a museum, The Bloss Home, and Bloss Hospital. You might be interested in researching their story and the reason they built the hospital. It is worthwhile. Blessings!

Thank you for your continued interesting sharing of stories and facts found in cemeteries. I really enjoy it all. There was ‘another’ shoot-out at the O.K. Coral in Tombstone, Az. If you ever find yourself back out that way pop over to the court house and look into it. It’s a very interesting story. Keep up the good work.

I have been to Tombstone before (1997) but it was before I established this channel! Hope to get back there one day! Thanks for watching and leaving the nice comment!

"Historic structure here in Modesto that did not make it". That's should be Modesto's motto... Unfortunately a ton of the cool historic buildings were all torn down. Thank you for this great video and history lesson!

I'm afraid that it's happening all across the world. The renovation is too costly, I suppose, and they tear it down.

I love learning about history especially California history as I live in Southern California but I had relatives who lived up around Modesto and on up until the Sierras around Pine Grove which was a small town and there is several small towns there that we got to visit over the years and I thought they enjoyed it when I saw that I knew I had to watch it thank you
