Every headstone no matter how small represents a life, a member of a family with a story to tell. Many of those stories are long forgotten. Thanks, JD, for visiting cemeteries to help keep the stories alive.

I can understand completely. One of the saddest things I see when I visit a cemetery where relatives are buried are the bronze grave markers now turned green with neglect since no-one comes to visit anymore. I suppose it's inevitable since years go by and families move away but it's still sad.

People think of cemeteries as a place of death, but I agree and contend they are a place of life. From the glorious cemeteries like Arlington where the individual stories scream as loud as a Stadium after a Game 7 winning home run, to a small Pioneer Cemetery on the Oregon trail, the individual stories are compelling and fascinating. Thank you J.D.

JD, when my Dad was a teenager (was a corporal in WWII), he and a couple of friends found a petrified stump, back in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, while they were squirrel hunting. Just an off the wall remark by one of his friends, that if something happened to him, he would want the stump for his headstone! And, as fate would have it, the young man died not too many years later. So, my Dad, with the help of a mule and some other people, moved it to where anyone can see it today, in a cemetery where most of my ancestors are buried, including my father. Also, as a side note, I have ancestral relatives buried there that fought on both sides during the civil war!

Maybe you've already been there but Jefferson Barracks has some interesting graves including the mass grave of the men that were in Lt. Meehan's plane on D-Day. My Dad is buried there and I stop by and lay flowers on that grave also when I visit.

A politician serving multi terms to "would be called a rookie"....touche'! I lived 8 years in Lexington, KY & even tho it was surrended by downtown, the cemetery there with pond, trees, flowes was very quiet & peaceful. Found several gravesites of those that added to KY history. Loved sitting on the benches & just being. Well-l, until a goose would nibble on my leg. 🤪🤗

Also, Hill Crest cemetery in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is an all black cemetery that is full of civil war, Great War, WWII, and Buffalo soldiers. I found this one while helping a coworker locate his dads grave. He was 8 at the time, over 60 years ago. We couldn't find the grave itself, but he remembered the place. Very emotional.

I was born and raised in Bellefontaine Neighbors. I've passed that cemetery countless times and have always been intrigued by the rich history those graves represent. I was told the area was named after an early frontier fort located on the Mississippi. Would like to see that someday, if it is still there. On a different note, there is a prominent street in St. Louis named Lindell Blvd. I wonder if it was named after Jesse Lindell. Sad to see his grave monument toppled over. On yet another note, wasn't John Wayne's cat named Gen. Sterling Price in the movie True Grit? Thanks for the video. Much appreciated.

What also fascinates me about Reverend Meachum' grave is the fact they are not buried in an African American cemetery. At that time in history particularly prior to the civil warMissouri would have been segregated including the cemeteries. These people are very courageous great people. It makes me so happy to know they are buried there instead of a slave/African American cemetery of which so many are abandoned forgotten & lost.

JD, those "log" headstones were often from the Modern Woodman Insurance Company - every policy came with a headstone - some were a lot more elaborate than others, but all were some variation of the tree stump (a life cut short) or a stack of logs - also, we got locked in one visit, except it was December and dark. I was mortified, but we called the number. 😉

Fascinating video JD! I was really struck by the Adolphus Busch mausoleum, in a way it's VERY similar to the grand mausoleums immgrant German brewmasters erected in one of the older cemeteries in Newark NJ. All men who came here with nothing and succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. I can't help but wonder if those structures were kind of a middle-finger flip-off to the German aristocracy under who's regime these men would have never been more than what they were in the old country? We'll never know I guess. But you can't miss the inscription over the door of the Busch mausoleum: Veni, Vidi, Vici. From Julius Caesar... "I came, I saw, I conquered!" He sure did! Oh, you're getting locked in? I'm sure you're not the first and won't be the last! Thanks for posting!
