As to the steam engine, He and the engine and his family were very dedicated to the threshermen's reunions of the time. This was also the very engine that he farmed with for his life time. So his family placed it there as his monument. It had been some what kept in a presentable shape until the close relatives also passed. Now it just wastes away over the years. The situation is well known in the local antique tractor/ steam collector circles. It has been discussed that something should be done to save the relic, as that make machine are extremely rare and collectable.

Thank-you, Frank! I was hoping someone would know more than I did! My gut said that it was probably a farmer’s grave. I wondered why the gravestone was never updated, after his wife died. However, I found it’s because she remarried, and is buried with her second husband at Grandview, Indiana.

My pleasure to share these! I do a lot of walks in cemeteries, the older the better. In Victorian times, people would pack lunches and go to formal cemeteries to admire the ornate and meaningful memorials. For this reason, rich people spent a lot of money, making theirs memorable. That fell by the wayside, with other forms of entertainment, but is making a resurgence. With the development of laser inscription, people are putting a lot more thought into what they leave behind.

Welcome to the channel, Earl! I've been to Dupont several times. My first was in tracing General John Morgan's raid through Indiana. Outside Dupont, there USED to be a sizable wall from prehistoric times. It was estimated to be over 10 feet long and 4 feet high, made of limestone. Pioneers saw an easy opportunity, and used the blocks for homes and bridges! Truly a great, hidden history!

thanks for the tour of the intersting graves Roger . i do not get creeped out but cemeterys are somber . i had a uncle named Raymond and it is somewhat bleak to see your own name on a tombstone! i used to hike a lot here in central New York and i would come upon lost cemeterys in the woods . maybe i wrote to you about this before i forget. once a old stone from the 1800's read "all is calm so do not weep ,death is not a endless sleep. love's ties are not riven, we shall be together again in heaven" another time and another place i came upon 2 small stones on a hillside. it seemed they were brothers that died in the War between the states. that did hit me a bit.i have been to the Oriskany Battlefield Memorial. it was a mass grave. after the battle the area was so dangerous that no one went there until after the Revolution..a local man Major Clapsaddle is buried there. George Washington had toured the Mohawk Valley area after the war and Oriskany is one of the places he went..once when i was visiting a friend in Arkansa we went to a cemetery in Van Buren where there is a grave in the Fairview(?) cemetery .it is alleged to be a Viking grave it could be as there is a Viking runestone in Heavener Oklahoma not that far from Van Buren which i saw.. as legends grow in folk talk,the grave in Van Buren was thought to contain TREASURE! locals petitioned a court to allow a opening of the grave. the magistrate ordered that about 30 people must witness the opening and if human remains were determined then all the witnesses had to have a paper with their names on it put in the grave and the grave closed at once. a foot was seen and the grave closed so it was done. decades later when archaelogists wanted to open the grave to investigate the Viking aspect the court would not allow a opening despite no record of ownership of the grave existing . if it seems odd that Vikings could have gotten to western Ark/eastern OK , the Mississippi connects with the Arkansas River and the Heavener Runestone Park and the Fairview cemetery are both within walking distance to the Arkansas River. all of this rocked me yours truly Ray Tonns

It was at the grave of country music singer Dottie West. The only thing I was doing was looking at her headstone. And the odd shape of it. I really cannot believe what the owners of the graveyard did. They threw me out just because I was looking to paint some scenery there. But anyways I got off the subject. Graveyards are very peaceful and restful.

Crazy how people want to leave a lasting impression! My Grandma and her best friend were talking about how people would go to a funeral, and see people pulling back that little curtain in a casket. “Isn’t that disrespectful? Why do they need to do that? What are they looking for?” So the two elderly ladies came up with an idea. “Let’s give ‘em something to look at!” They wanted to be buried in something very risqué! This was pretty funny considering they were two very religious, church-going types. I don’t know if they actually did it, I didn’t look! 😂

Squire Boone Caverns is pretty awesome, and even better since they expanded the tour and added additional lighting. It, and nearby Marengo, are the two most beautiful caves I’ve ever visited.

Many moons ago, I worked a turret lathe. The older fella that was mentoring me, showed me how to measure my parts. “Use these verniers”. I believe those were actually verniers, but mistakenly called these the same thing.

Three decades ago, I started by getting a paper map, and circling every “point of interest” for a weekend trip. I got lost A LOT, but man was it a blast! If I was starting all over, I’d definitely do every tour of every show cave (Marengo, Indiana Caverns, Squire Boone, Wyandotte, Upper Twin Cave, Blue Spring Caverns), Clifty Falls, Spring Mills village and museums, Lincoln Boyhood memorial. I’d drive to Leavenworth and see that overlook, wild caves at Bluffs of Beaver Bend, and the jug rock at Shoals. And to wrap it up, drive to Cannelton, and drive along the waterfront, all the way to Evansville: Lafayette Spring, the locks, Eagles Bluff overlook, Christ of the Ohio overlook, Newburghs waterfront and the ancient mounds next to Evansville. And the beauty of it all: everywhere you go, you find new places, and ideas for next trips. 🙂

My grandparents and other family members are buried in the Beard Cemetery near Bristow. Stories are told how his wife caught him with a woman on the steam tractor. She had it put over his grave so no one would forget. May just be a story.

The military also converted some old places to "training areas". When i was stationed at ft Stewart georgia. Its near hinesville. I was in field artillery, MLRS. We had to certify before going to kuwait in 02. We did a night convoy and moved into and "occupied" an area. We had to set up a perimeter etc etc. Anywase were walking out in pitch black in a forest and all of a sudden head stones everywhere. Not little ones. Big intricate headstones. I think people too easily just pass this all off

We have. A very very beautiful graveyard here in Mcminnville Tennessee. I have never witnessed this happening , but as the story goes. If you sit on top of the only mausoline in the graveyard. Something will push you off of it. Like I said, I have never seen anything happen. And I simply just do not believe it. But if anyone wants to try it. That single mausoleum sits in the Depot Bottom graveyard. McMinnville Tennessee. Even if you just appreciate the beauty.Of graveyards. I would recommend coming here to see it. It is beautiful.

Ok, but where did the extra bodies in Barnett come from? Who were they? How old? How did they die? No one thought it was odd that a grave for 1 person held 6 other bodies??? Just me??? Otherwise, really enjoyed the video.

Right now, my phone takes the photos I’ve clicked, and makes movies with transitions and music, calling them “memories”: all without my consent. There’s a new capability to sample your voice and logic, creating a virtual version of yourself. Sitting back and thinking about it all, I see a day when tombstones will not only talk to you, but remember your last visit and interact. Grieving people will have the ability to talk to an AI version of their loved ones, on their phones, computers and TV. For the elderly, this might be very comforting, given a limited social network. Still, very scary implications.
