Grave Tales

What's the Deal with Danny

Mary Chambers Bibb (1816-1835) was the wife of William D. Bibb (son of Gov. Thomas Bibb), daughter of Dr. Henry Chambers. She died shortly after her marriage from a poison that her nanny had accidentally given her, mistaking it for medicine. She was buried in her wedding gown and legend says she was interred sitting up in a rocking chair. Her mausoleum was the first built in Maple Hill Cemetery.

First time watching so thank you for taking us there. I’m a long time history buff & cemetery explorer and I have a tip for whenever you have trouble reading a gravestone…take a sheet of paper and run a pencil sideways over the writing and it will show up every time. I learned that in 1972!!!

Just found your videos tonight and yes I hit that subscribe button! 😁 I stumbled across the 1st "lady in a rocking chair" video and subscribed right after and happily found this one! I'm so glad I did. I really like the way you explore. I feel like I'm right there with you.

I really enjoy your videos. Merry Christmas and Happy New year. Boy people who have died in the 1800s is really spooky. They would be jealous of all the advantages we take for granted. Like cell phones cars.

As crazy as it is, back in those times, arsenic was considered to be a beauty aid 😳

Great video... Very sad how she passed away but hopefully she is sleeping in peace with the angels 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[ritamoon]

So happy that I discovered your sites. I also am a history buff and also love the solitude and peace in a cemetery. I am presently looking for all my families graves for pictures but might try the stone rubbings. There are so many stories there.

Continuing to really enjoy your channel!! Thank you and have a blessed and Merry Christmas ☃️🎄

[juliadavis]

I love to tune in to your channel. I like
History it exciting to know about ppl who lived back there in the past.
Keep doing what you do best.

[bobnorthcott]

Love the history of your channel! Especially the Country Music stars I grew up with!

If you ever get up north to Pa. Try Girard ( pronounced ) ger ard! The cemetery there is the home of a famous clown named Dan Rice!
They also have a plot there that had a dog sitting in a chair. I can’t remember the story of that one, but it also has a large older section you might like!

Keep on doing what you do!

Each person narrates their story in the tombstone. This is definitely interesting for me because I’m learning new things and new concepts. If I do obtain an opportunity to tour graveyard 🪦 in the coming years, I will make a trip to the cemetery.

Suggestion. Get some tracing paper and some dark colored crayons or kids chalk, you can trace over the really worn headstones, it will usually bring the carvings to where they're readable. You do a great job finding the best stories. 👍👍👍
