I really appreciate that. I have a few more videos relating to Lincoln I believe.

I'm so glad you do these videos about cemeteries. My family loves visiting them in Australia. We don't find them creapy, we find the a world of knowledge. So thanks again

Same!!

I can remember being in an old family cemetery and while walking and taking pictures I heard clear as day; "STOP ! STOP !" I stopped walking, looked around, no one was there and after looking down you could see a pretty well covered up by grass and all area in front of me, it turned out to be an opening to a well ! One more step and I'd have fallen in it. After putting some boards over it out loud I thanked the sprite that saved my life. This was in the Pine Barrens at an old homestead. Remember me as you pass by, as you are now so once was I. As I am now, soon you will be, so prepare for death and follow me. I've seen that on a head stone.

I live in Australia and always loved Glen Campbell. Could you deviate and visit the Glen Campbell Museum which is chock full of his memorabilia and guitars and stage clothes and music you could do a whole film clip of the Glen Campbell Museum. I have no hope of travelling due to being in a wheelchair but would love to see it and I'm sure other fans of his would too. If you can't it really doesn't matter because I am really loving your work.

I love listening to the stories. I'm also amazed at the early workmanship on the older headstones.

I love cemeteries...especially old ones..I've been to many cemeteries as a genealogist, tracing my own family as well as the family trees of other ppl who have needed help. So, yep, I do enjoy your videos...As for the concrete box that the regular stone sits on top of...in most cases they are there for support. Some were made at the time and some were added later...alot of the older ones, will have a "slit" cut through the tops of them for the taller flat stone to sit in. Most of the time when you see a stone with the lamb on top of them, that was an infant or a child buried there. You are doing an awesome job...thank you so much for your videos....

My grandparents from the 1800's were buried there also some family members that we didn't even know were there because some of the family members were split up. We used to also put flowers around to the grave that had seemed to be forgotten. So I love these kinds of videos. Keep up the great work.

The small hard to read stones with concrete around them are the oldest stones that were reinforced with the concrete so they were not lost to time. Great video I really enjoyed the viewing Thanks for showing the history.

As a Kentucky minister and historian, I’ve gotta say- I love your work! Re: the cement though, I think that was a trend kind of happening around the turn of the 20th century where folks have tried to shore up broken/decaying stones. Even Jamestown settlement has had to deal with removing cement from original markers.
