While most people are content to solve board puzzles, Robert prefers his with larger pieces of stone. Thanks for another great cemetery find.

The State of Georgia should put a marker beside the main highway stating that there is a older cemetery in that location. Hopefully someone can help to clean it up!

Great one, as always. It is sad but rewarding to hear names that have been unspoken for so many years. Just think of how many graves we all drive by unknowingly in our respective states/areas.

I was doing that once, I like to find cemeteries too, and walking through high grasses..suddenly found it. I dropped waist deep in a concrete casing. With the casket rotten, I was face to face with Edward's head... he had good teeth... I popped up out of that in a nanosecond not realizing I scraped the hell outta my leg.... the pain and blood came shortly and Edward was left unscathed. From now on, I carry a huge stick lookin' like Gandalf - I don't care... you only do that once.
Great video!!!! Always respectful and give a bit of history.🙂

VERY SAD TO SEE A CEMETERY IN THAT KIND OF "STATE"

[NoviceSandi]

G’day Robert, I always find it so very sad that these old graveyards/cemeteries, aren’t looked after by Government bodies. I doubt there are family members (Grandchildren or great Grandchildren) that even know their Ancestors are buried in these small cemeteries. Thank you Robert for speaking these forgotten People’s names and for the respect you show. Sending you hugs from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

E. "Sophron" is more likely E. "Sophronia" which was a common female name in the 19th century. Beautiful, if overgrown and neglected, little spot for eternal rest.

I know you have so many irons in the fire Robert, but I will say, I have missed the Roberts and their cemetery adventures very much! 😊

[lillypad]

Great adventure, again. Thanks for bringing us along. Thanks also for caring about these people who are lost to history. Blessings to them and you.
I must ask, what is the significance of the cedar trees?

I've seen a few broken headstones I'd like to preserve. Been trying to locate a place in Georgia for cheap marbles slabs to put under broken headstones like this. Laying the ordered pieces on top without trying to cement it seems like the best thing to do.

Hi Robert; great work. Both you and the other Robert need to place a pair of work gloves, brush and small hand shovel in the trunk or back of the truck permanently. Keep up the great work!👍

[jeanhansel]

Robert: Angels are watching over you. Thank you for what you do.

[vickiebrannon]

Great video, Robert. I enjoy your videos, the scenery, history, adventure, etc. I am so glad you have an interest in history and restoration and that you share it with all of us. Best wishes from Tennessee.💕

I would love to see you and the other Robert come back to this one with a rake and brushes (and a flashlight) and clean it up a bit. There may be many more stones under all of that moss and leaf mess. Loved this one, it is so very early and I hate to see it disappear. I love to see these people remembered. Thank you for this one, I so much appreciate seeing this one.

I am from Ontario. Canada and when a cemetery becomes abandoned the local municipality is mandated to take it over and. they do and clean it up
