The guy who complained about you being obsessed with death must not know about how much history you can find in a cemetery. They are places that document so much life lived. Great job Jeff!

It's great to see a journalist who validates their stories.

On a day when it's just too hot and humid for anything, binge watching History Hunters and sipping blueberry lemonade is a wonderful way to pass the day. I so appreciate the effort you and Sarah put into these episodes. Such a treasure trove of fascinating historical FACT! Thank you for telling these stories.

You are an amazing story teller. I enjoy ALL your videos! Our country is built by people who are deceased. How else are you gonna tell the long past stories. Thank you again for another great history lesson

My great grandfather fought in the Spanish American war and he is in the cemetery on scenic drive in modesto.

We enjoy your weekly shows and we find your visit to the cemeteries fascinating!!! Keep up the good work

Cemeteries and obits tell the stories of people's lives. They're great resources for historical and family research. Thanks for sharing fascinating stories from California's history.

Personally, I enjoy the content of your videos and how it’s presented. I wouldn’t change a thing. It never gets old!

Another fascinating HH episode! And yes Jeff, you can't study history without discussing those who have gone on before us! Wonderful hearing about their lives. Thank you!

Jeff I met officer Volk when he came to my classroom at Modesto junior college to tell me someone hit my car in the parking lot. Insurance covered the damage,but it was awful nice of him to find me in class. It was about a year after that when he died on the way to a emergency as you said on Yosemite Blvd. when his tire blew out and his patrol car went head on into a power pole and he died. Modesto Police were using recapped tires at the time. They stopped using them after that happened. All these years and I've never forgotten his kindness. May he rest in peace.

A lot of people don’t appreciate history the way it ought to be. Often, people are offended by events that eventually led to the great country we have today. For some reason, people turn away from history because it can be “controversial “ but it is important to understand why things happened and why we are the way we are. I appreciate what you do because you revive history that people would never know or heard of. Thanks for all you do that make history relevant again!

Another amazing history lesson with a plethora of information on many people who are buried in Ceres, CA. I lived in Merced where I was born and my dad was a teacher at Ceres high school.

I like knowing history of our people from years ago. I find it fascinating about how they live and what they did for a living. Keep making these historic shows, you are making a difference by letting us know these people. God bless.

Thank you for another episode rich in history and connecting so many lives that tie the Central Valley of California with the rest of this country's history. In remembering the dead, there are memories and it's good not to forget them.

You do a great job of honoring the people before us who have passed on and made such a mark on this country that most of us would have never knew about.

Thanks for the history. Keep on reporting about historical facts( and people from history that are deceased😜). I’m glad to see that Ceres does a good job of maintaining their cemetery.

Excellent historical information on a small Central Valley town. I like how you bring the past alive. Also, I agree with you that you cannot visit history without talking about those who are now deceased. Good story.

I agree with you Jeff, you can’t talk about history without sometimes talking about those who came before us😊 thanks for your passion and hard work another great video❤️

It was nice to see a long running Ceres still on. Longer than Gunsmoke. 😂🤣 Great episode and thanks for sharing your story and knowledge about the interesting people of History. By the way, your Cemetery Tours have never BURIED my interest. Thanks 😊!

Continue what you’re doing. We enjoy and look forward to each week

I have driven the 99 through Ceres countless times and didn’t realize how rich in history it is. I think it is amazing how those houses have stood the test of time. Even more amazing the history in that cemetery and it’s soldiers. It’s extraordinary that you find all of these pictures. I remember the Gary Condit debacle 🤦.

What a shame that noisy road is right next to the cemetery. I imagine it was originally a dirt road to the cemetery and over the decades became a bigger, wider, paved road until it became a highway. Some time if you go to a cemetery in Modesto, I'd be interested in seeing the grave of Lacie Peterson. I look forward to your Sunday morning videos. So good.

A graveyard is like a hub of a wheel of history. Each headstone is the starting point to explore an intriguing person and the era that they lived in and learn of their accomplishments. This then leads to connections with other people and places. It's fascinating to learn more of the history of the areas you visit. Great job, Jeff!

I love History Hunters. I love learning all about the history of towns, founding fathers and the hard working lives they led, and sometimes colorfu livesl. The women aren't as prominent, but they left their marks as well.. Don't listen to the naysayers. Keep doing what you do and the way you do it.

I think exploring these very interesting people (some forgotten otherwise) is very interesting. Its a great reminder of how complex, enterprising and tenacious the people were who came before us. I believe they would love you sharing their stories. History is important. As is all your hard work researching and creating these extremely entertaining videos we not only enjoy, but we also learn from. 🇺🇲🙂🇺🇲

Jeff, Thanks for all the time and research into all these interesting people of California history!! I still find it so interesting that as a California resident history of this State is so diverse and unique. Keep up the great work, we appreciate all you do !!

Thank you Jeff and Sarah. I can only imagine the amount of research that goes into your episodes. I really enjoyed today's episode and learned a lot. I hope you and your family have a great Independence Day weekend!

Yes Jeff, you do visit a lot of Cemetaries. But you do so as part of history and bring that history alive and the people who are buried there as well. Where they lived and worked and the legacies they left behind. If people didn't want to be remembered, or families didn't want them remembered, they wouldn't have markers. History is a part of who we are. We learn from history and without history we would have nothing. I for one, cherish your shows which shows me how little I know. Thank you for sharing and educating us all.

Thank you for another fine video. I was touched by your mention of Wanda Rogers. You also mentioned Joe DeRita who actually replaced Shemp Howard in the Three Stooges, Curly having died earlier. Happy 4th of July to you and Sarah.

Thank you for this! I watched an older episode when you said you had 700 followers...blink to 55+K! Anyone who says anything about being too involved with the dead doesn't know that to honor the dead, it creates eternal life. I had a medium tell me my deceased uncle visits and guides me because I am the only person who still speaks of him...60 years later. He died 7/2/62...

I so enjoy your "history" tours! Us viewers learn quite a bit that has long been forgotten.Thanks for all you and Sarah do for all of us!

Thank you for the history lesson you gave us about these people i live 11 miles away from ceres , would love to know more history of my town Riverbank ca

Good morning, Jeff and Sarah! Thank you for the interesting Ceres video, Jeff! I liked your reference to Pres. and Mrs. Lincoln visiting the wounded soldiers. Mrs. Lincoln’s delivering apples and oranges to the wounded touched my heart. The story about Pres. Lincoln comparing his height to one of the soldiers showed that he had pride in his height of 6’4”. The artwork on the headstones you find is incredible! We appreciate your “art” in your videos! Keep em’ comin’, Jeff! Happy 4th!

Excellent video and exciting history. Keep up the good work. Take care.

Our family story pertaining to Abe Lincoln, My wife's 4th or 5th Great grandfather was the Boyhood family pastor of the Lincoln family, He officiated Abes' mother's funeral,, I also agree with you about visiting graveyards to teach about our past. Thank you for your videos. you do a great job educating us and in my case, you take me to places where I cannot afford to go. In other words, if I were living out your way, I would be making the day trips that you do. Thank you.

Thank you for this wonderful video on the many people buried in the Ceres, CA. graveyard. I am a descendant of Daniel Whitmore; he is my great-great-great-grandfather. My brother and I would visit our cousins in Ceres at least twice a year, and we spent many days and nights playing in what many call the Ceres Mansion. It was always called "Aunt Jenny's" to me, who was my grandfather's older sister. In addition to wheat, the Whitmores also grew many acres of almonds, and peaches. I am proud to be a Whitmore!

Very much loved the video and the history to each person as you went through them was amazing . Had a laugh that someone was upset that you film to many dead :) If they took the time to think then they would realize Death is History but its how its is projected to us that makes your video's so well loved Thankyou for sharing yet another great one

Thanks for the fascinating U.S. Civil War history in your video, especially with regards to President Lincoln. My own family roots also share in such an amazing history. My unique “presidential” middle name serves as a legacy to it. I owe this honor to my paternal great-great-grandfather Richard P. Pilling, a Union Army officer from the Indiana regiment during the Civil War. He also happened to be a personal friend of Abraham Lincoln - or so the stories told as were passed down from one generation to the next in my family. As the stories recounted, Richard felt so inspired by his friend, the 16th President, that in 1865 he named his own son “Lincoln” in honor of this great American leader. This gesture of friendship inaugurated a family tradition of naming a son “Lincoln” that continued every generation since. My parents changed the tradition somewhat by conferring upon me this honorary moniker as my middle one - since bearing it as a first name no longer seemed stylish in 1960 when I was born. The full name recorded on my birth certificate reads “Thomas Lincoln Pilling.” I later kept the tradition alive by naming my own son “Ruben Lincoln Pilling” upon his birth in 1998.

I love these graveyard ones. Love all your videos. Literally people would like to forget history nowadays. It is so sad the comment that person made. We can never forget out history. Once that happens we are in really really deep trouble

So much history is in these old cemeteries and thanks to you we know more interesting facts of some forgotten incidents and people. Keep up the explorations of cemeteries, little towns and interesting points of interest. Thanks..

Excellent information. Thank you for your understanding of history and how cemeteries hold so much history.

Whatever type of history video you make, I am watching. Death is just life on the other side. Thanks, Jeff.

Another interesting and informative video this is. It kept me entertained throughout. Keep up the great work, Jeff. It is much appreciated. 👏🌞🤠

"To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth." -- Voltaire

I really appreciate that you give us such fascinating background to interesting, but lesser known people. That is why your channel is so unique. 😊👏

Jeff, you are such an amazing researcher and story teller! Once again, Thank you!

Cemeteries are a pivotal element of our history. Thanks for visiting them.

These are my favorite episodes. Especially when you are in cemetery’s close to my home town. I have learned so much on these episodes. It’s not an obsession with death it’s a curiosity of the past. I love History.

Jeff that is exactly why a lot of us love to watch your shows. We are also interested in our history because we all need to look at and remember what has happened previously. And that is how we learn things in life. So you just keep up with what you are doing because I have yet to find any other channel that does as fantastic a job at showing and explaining our history. Especially if we hear and see who is responsible for the previous hard work and learning of others. Many, many thanks for a job well done. And just keep it up!! oh yea, Howdy from Texas, Jeff!

Love any good story of President and Mrs. Lincoln. 🙂🎩 Congratulation Jeff & Sarah for having over 80 thousand subscribers. Have a great week.🇺🇲

I think Harry Nilsson said it best, "I'd rather be dead than wet the bed."

I drive by there often, and as my aunt is buried there I'll pop in once in awhile. I actually had a rollover accident on SB99 right next to the cemetery, and as I crawled out of the wreckage of my van, I could have sworn I had seen my aunt Robyn, I only had minor scratches and probably a concussion, I also wasn't wearing a seatbelt as it was an older van.

I'm enjoying your local trips - you're helping me to appreciate the history of the Central Valley - very cool, thank you!

More great history from History Hunters.

Phew...what a lot of history you packed into today's visit. Loved it all.

My family and I went through Ceres years ago when we moved up to Placer County; very interesting history of the area. The train Depot looks alot like the one in Auburn, CA. I looked up the Kibbe killing by Jason Budrow and he was nuts also. The article said that the D.A. did not seek the death penality for the killing.

Great Video Jeff a Family member is buried close too Wanda! Very beautiful Lady with a Great Voice! The Whitmores..🌹 First Family here in Ceres!😊

Short story that you reminded me of when your military background music was playing while showing the civil war grave. We live in an 1895 home here in northern ca, my wife was watching the news on Memorial Day a few years back. The tv started to play an old marching tune, she then heard someone humming the tune next to her on the couch. It lasted only a minute & stopped with the music. I have never experienced anything here but have had several dogs that have, by observing their behavior. History is all around us...... sometimes closer than we think.

I'm not sure how one can follow a history channel and not expect it to revolve around those that have passed..... keep up the great videos, I love these cemetery tours.

Thanks for doing this, I recently stopped at Andersonville, the cemetery is incredible.

Another great film. Just ignore the dumb comment about too many death films. Seeing the stones and pics puts a face on who you are talking about. Also I like seeing the artwork on the stones. You are not the only person who "takes me to graves" on film. Some of the other places are much older graveyards and have artwork that isn't done anymore. Keep up the good work and say hi to Sarah for me.

Another fine historical account. We are at the 159th anniversary of the Gettysburg battle. Enjoyed the part on the vets buried in Ceres, Confederate & Federal, Americans. Happy Independence day & thanks.

Thank you for your interest in these History making folks. I enjoy the ride along. Thank you for sharing!

Selfish people don’t care about history but you and your lovely wife are doing a fantastic job sharing your travels telling us about history! Well done!

Such a great history lesson! I learn so much from your channel!

Enjoy your videos, history is who we are and where we’ve come from

Its fun watching history being told and I'm sure there's a lot to be said. Thank you😁

Jeff watched all your videos basically through the covid lockdowns really grateful for your videos help me forget about the law about covid when it was going on thank you so much

Very interesting episode, my wife's maiden name is Averill. Not much is known on their family history. It would be interesting 🤔 if they were connected. Thank you for another amazing episode.

Great video as always, Jeff! I feel the exact opposite of the commenter on your previous video, I have been doing some research on historical figures of Tuolumne County over the last few years, and visiting them in the local cemeteries reminds me that the history we are taught was not a fairy tale, these were real people who did amazing things and had incredible stories. Seeing their final resting place helps me connect those stories to a person that was once a living being like you and me and not just a page in a history book. What better way to celebrate the life and legacy of a person. 🙂

I for one, never have any problems with any of your episodes Jeff. As my late Mother once said: "Death is a part of life". Just keep doing what you're doing and ignore the ones who have "problems" with your content because ultimately, it's "their problem". Thanks for another great episode. My best to you and Sarah. May God Bless you both and your family.

Thanks again Jeff. I've been to the Ceres/Hughson area numerous times and was not aware of all this great history.

Great walk thru this cemetery and commenorating a # of those buried there. RIP to all the military.

Very nice video. Ceres Memorial Park is one I have not yet visited. We cannot talk about History without talking about the dead. If people do not like it, do not watch the videos. I liked the fact you talked about the Civil War Soldiers in this video and how they relate to some of the biggest events in History.

OMG you guys are absolutely fabulous, your attention to detail and the obvious research you’ve put in is incredible. I cannot spread the word enough; which I have done to my friends! Loving your work; please keep going. Jamie, Southampton, England, UK ❤️

Brother Cliff is in glory where he belongs. What an anointed ministry. That was him singing, "Just as I am" on altar calls, I believe.

Another great video Jeff, hope you read this !! No matter what you do there is always someone who is not gonna likes something about something you put out ! ,, again I hope you read this.. With all the research and time you must put into all these video's. ( and Sarah ) we should just sit back and learn and enjoy what you put out. Lord knows I sure do !!!! Thank you Jeff. .. Frank from montana....

My goodness you are so knowledgeable of all these folks. I haven't used Gravefinder yet but I paid for Ancestry for years until I dropped it. I enjoy your videos so much.

This channel is so good that I always upvote it before I even watch it!

Hello Jeff & Sarah, I find it amazing people would suggest death is old and tired. This is a History Channel and probably the best one I have ever viewed. Most people involved in history and shaping the world we all currently live in, have since passed on, just a fact! Just merging 2 videos into one, great video on the Reagan family, which I just watched, especially about the daughter. Well done, as always!

Concerning the visiting of grave sites; in order to understand present day, one must look back, which gives one a lens into the future. Carry on History Hunters.

My mother in law is buried at this cemetery she wanted to be buried next to flea market..and I drive by it almost every day and never took time to look at Graves..u r always educating me I didn't even realize cannon is there

Another very interesting and informative video. It never ceases to amaze me that in the days without rapid transportation and advanced communications, how people readably traversed this country. The hardships that they faced seems almost unimaginable. You do a great job of bringing the past into focus and informing us of the many people who have gone before us and placed their stamp of importance on our past. Thanks for all your research and the hard work it takes to put out such quality videos!

Thank you for all your stories. There are things you cover that I am completely unaware of and things you cover that I knew a little about and things you cover than I thought I knew more about or differently than what was presented. In all, it is always always always wonderful to learn and remember. Thank you again.

We Love the Cemetery episodes, i like hearing about the History behind these Americans, keep up the Awesome work, Happy 4th

We love the history and death is part of our pass Wonderful stories. From Indiana

Thank you for sharing. My mother is buried there.

Your cemetery tours are interesting and ALWAYS welcome!

At 6:03 - 😀 On the grave of Cyrus Lee. Notice that the engraver turned “22” upside down to carve in the “77”!

Obsessed with death? I know several KZfaqrs who visit cemeteries. One has even saved a couple of "forgotten" cemeteries. I like hearing about the people in history you present and seeing their pictures. I recently visited my family and because of these videos and others like them, I also went to a nearby cemetery. The office has a map of the famous people buried in it and some of the not so famous. They even have a tree tour of different trees growing there. I just went for the famous people tour. It was interesting.

Sunday morning and once again coffee and History lesson. You always educate your viewers with historical facts. Please have a peaceful holiday tomorrow.

If you didn't keep track of these people, who would. Love grave yards. I always think, they were like me. They had a life, work, family. Thanks for remembering these that we would have forgotten. You work hard on digging out the lives that we can appreciate their lives. Don't know if I expressed my thoughts on this. Thanks so much! Happy 4th July!

What an incredible walk through history. Thank you

Thank you . I look forward every Sunday to your contributions. Having lived in Lodi and Manteca I am familiar with many of your locations.

Thank you History Hunters for this great video- very personal to me because many of my family and friends are buried there- including my mom and dad.

I love your visits to the cemetery I love to learn the history of people.

there is just no pleasing some ppl. love your videos.love sarah. she has a dry sense of humor and a bit of a smarteleck but that's what i like about her

Another Great History Hunt.. cemeteries are a sombre place to go , but So much info from the past is found. Thank you again Jeff and Sarah

I may never get to visit Ceres, CA. Thank you for taking the time to make this .

I enjoy the cemetery tours. Seeing the graves along with your research is very interesting. Thanks.☮️💖🎶
