It’s such a cryin shame these places aren’t taken care of it makes me so sad

I just wish they could take care of these old cemeteries. Even more so that this one is right in the middle of the city!

I think the missing cemeteries keeps calling Robert and Robert to come find them to show people where their missing family members are , please be safe out there and God bless you and your family and friends

Hope they respect the cemetery!!! The developer, not the two Roberts. They are always respectful. Sad. Forgotten people. Overgrown final resting place.😔

What a poignant statement from the past - all those modern vehicles whizzing by filled with people so busy and caught up in themselves, while the past lays so still, peaceful and forgotten.. Thank you for sharing this, I look forward to seeing the return trip.. Rip those sweet children, and the others too.. Love from New Zealand xx

Robert & Robert, my neighbor worked on a cemetery not too far from where they grew up. They found their grand mothers grave there & many unmarked graves. They got the State Univ Archeology dept to keep up research on the old graves so all work would be noted for future generations. I am just passing that info along as this way the state is made aware the cemeteries are at the locations. The Univ used an xray machine sothey could know people were buried there. Then the jr,sr, masters, & Phd students finished upthe work & the cemetary was documented for the state. Keep up this great work!

May the LORD bless and keep you safe. Amen. When people get old and can no longer take care of their old family Cemetery, they are forgotten.

I could probably spend the rest of my life just cleaning these places up that y'all keep finding. The effort would just have to be a labor of love because the city/county has no budget for it and most are on private property. Those small children .... tragedy personified.

Do you and Robert know that you both and the rest of your fam are our HEROES. Bless you both

On "The Walton's " tv show, the episode of "The Pony Cart", Martha Corrine Walton, played brilliantly by Beulah Bondi in her Emmy winning performance , states that "neglected graves are a shameful thing". This episode of Sidestep Adventures, brought this back to me & thank you Robert for all you do to bring back the existence of people long gone and to try & correct that which has been neglected, their final resting place.

Looks like another one that the City Council needs to be involved in restoring. If they allow the development, then they can spend some tax dollars on cleaning up that cemetery. Brings rest in PEACE to a whole new meaning. Thanks so much for taking us along. I hope you can go back and show more Robert(s)

So heartbreaking! Infuriating that the city knows it’s there! Why they can’t do something to preserve these cemeteries?!

I grew up in Columbus and my mother located and copied dozens of old cemeteries large and small. Most of her work was published by the East Alabama Genological Society and the college library has most of her papers. The remainder of the stuff we donated went to the LDS research room on Reese Rd. I live in Meriwether County, and would like to meet up with you sometime.

So sad to see the little Perry children all died so young. I noticed Elizabeth was born on June 7th and Henry was born on June 8th, my birthday.

Wow , guys , my first reaction was , ‘ out of sight, out of mind ‘ . You two were probably the first ones to visit that cemetery since that picture was taken by Find A Grave ! Can’t wait for you to go back.

How is it that Senior Robert has such a wealth of knowledge? Is that his hobby...historical research? Anyway, it impresses me and fascinates me when he shares.

NOT FORGOTTEN NOW BUT FOUND ! Folks wouldn’t you say ? Aww the RobertS are some special guys. Wouldn’t you think ? Hola tAll RoBert Long time follower here

WILLIAM C. CLARK 1792-1881 William C. Clark married Rebekah Peddy on 12 March 1812 at Hillsboro, Jasper County, GA. Children of William and Rebekah were: (1) Marion S. Clark, (2) Narcissus Francis Clark, (3) William Clark, (4) Ira Seaton Clark, (5) Beverly Clark, (6) Mary Clark, (7) Melissa Clark, (8) Theresa Ann Clark, (9) Bradford H. Clark, (10) Wiley A. Clark, (11) James M. Clark (the youngest, b. 1834) "Death of Mr. Wm. CLARK. // This veteran christian gentleman died on the 11th inst. at the residence of his granddaughter, Mrs. E. M. WEEMS, of Chattahoochee county, after an illness of ten days. He had lived to the ripe age of eighty-nine years, having been born April 26th, 1792. The past sixty-five years of his life he has been an exemplary member of the Methodist church and when the summons came he was ready to try the realities of an unknown future, trusting in that God upon whome he has learned all these many years and whom he has always found to be sufficient in every hour of trial. With the assurance of divine grace as a support, he passed beyond the dark valley and the shadow of death, and while his friends weep over the cold ashes which were yesterday laid in the silent tomb, they know that he will live again with the glorified saints of the eternal God. // Mr. CLARK lived for thirty or more years in this county, and has a large circle of friends, and also a large connection of relatives. Of his immediate children, four survive him, two daughters and two sons, Mrs. CARTER, of Florence, and Mrs. COX, of Mississippi, are his daughters, and his sons, one lives in Memphis and another in Pensacola. Mrs. Thomas NUCKOLS, Mrs. Theophilus SAPP and Mrs. Forbs BRADLEY are his grand-daughters. // Mr. CLARK devoted himself to the cultivation of the soil and made farming his occupation, not seeking places of distinction. Though not at any time occupying a high official position, he was prominent among men who were themselves prominent, and was regarded by all his fellow men as an upright, christian gentleman. We can offer for him no higher compliment." [Columbus (GA) Enquirer-Sun newspaper, 13 Jul 1881, p. 4.]

Can’t wait to see the video when you come back to this cemetery. So sad for the Peddy family to lose so many children in such a short time.

God bless you for caring about the ones long passed and forgotten. That’s sad no one keeps those cemeteries up.

That is disgusting, disturbing, disgraceful, uncalled for,horrible!!!!! How can the city/town allow that? It is probably the founders or at least first inhabitants of that place. The city/town council should be notified and help fix it. Thank God for you two Roberts. Those people led important lives and should be remembered in a more respectful manner. Makes me very angry!!!!!!! And Sad!!!!!!!!

When I was searching for my family cemeteries. My family said all our past relatives were destroy. Many were only marked with field stones. As new owners purchase property the replanted fields leaving graves forgotten. Please Robert we are grateful that he takes the time to clean off the lost Graves. Thank you for your work.

It's sad these cemeteries are not clean up...but if you clean them up,someone would vandalize it... Just Sad!!!!

You guys are preserving our past and future. Thank you.

These are all so fascinating, I've binged watched! You had one video where a woman had three husbands, and it reminded me of my grandmother. She was a young widow in far north rural Washington State, trying to support herself and two toddlers, and estranged from her parents in Wyoming. She wound up caring for a man who was terminally ill (family story is that it was TB). Anyway, during those times (early 1930's) it was the ultimate scandal for a young woman to be a live-in caregiver for a single man. She and the man got married strictly to overcome the scandal. He passed less than a year later. She and her parents made peace, and she returned to Wyoming where she met and married my grandfather. Three husbands.

Thank you, Robert(s) and Sidestep Adventures for your tireless efforts to preserve history! We should all join together in an effort to organize some maintenance for these cemeteries....

This would be a great community project for the local high school. They could learn how to be stewards of their local history and learn about some of the families that lived in your area.

Looking forward to seeing the whole cemetery 👍

Thank you both for at least taking time to record all these places for us. Apart of Forgoten History brought back to the attention of your Viewers. Thank you Gentleman. Stay safe you and yours.

Can't wait to see the next video on this Cemetery, so tragic these people have been forgotten, especially children, so Heartbreaking, but great find ....Keep up the great great work Gents.😀💖👍

This is why I intend to be buried in a field, prob at the Hawk Conservancy here in the UK. Hopefully, with a tree on top of me. I have researched my family tree and seen so many graves in this condition. I love Sidestep Adventures, you are so very respectful.

If I don't get a dose of Georgia history each day it ain't a good day! Love both you guys and Cody! Keep doing the behind the scenes. Adds so much to the experience. And please tell me what that tool is that Mr. Robert has. I really want to get one!!!! ( "Asps...very dangerous. You go first...")

It is my sincerest hopes that this cemetery can be spared, even if the development cannot be halted. Could the construction be altered, somehow or a larger fence (iron wrought iron looking) be placed around the graves? It would make this buried, hallowed ground an island in the midst of "progress". Sad, but hopeful. Look forward to a future update! 👍🏻❤️🙏

How unusual to find a hidden cemetery in such an urban area! Great discovery! Those little box tombs for the kids are a sad sight. Mother Nature sure knows how to reclaim forgotten areas. I look forward to your next visits.

Wow 1792 to 1881.. that's just amazing.. sure wish someone would take care of these old cemeteries..

Here's info on the family of the three children buried in this cemetery. Bradford Peddy born 1818 or 1819 was a son of Henry & Penny Hill Peddy. Bradford married Mary Pace March 16 1845 at Columbus GA. Mary was born 1826-28.He is in Muscogee Co GA from 1837 thru 1868. He is in Decatur Co GA deeds in 1840. He received land in Dale Co AL in 1853. In 1855 he sold land in Louisiana.In 1858 he bought land in Russell Co AL. In 1863 he enlisted in 29 Battalion GA Calvary - he was a ferrier. In 1865 he was a marriage official in Russell Co AL. In 1870 he is in Calhoun Co Ark.He & Mary had 13 children. 3 of his children are buried in the Peddy-Jones-Clark Cemetery in Muscogee Co GA. (This cemetery is near the welcome center on the Interstate near the Harris Co line.) I have a Peddy book, "Peddy 270 Years" detailing much Peddy info.Glen Peddy, RR 1 Box 30 B, Sullivan IL 61951 www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/peddy/63/

I especially like the vids with "Other Robert" as your wingman. 👍🏻

I wish I could help. We need to preserve all these old cemeteries. God bless you all. You three are such good men.

That would be a good project for a youth group. They could clear it out and clean it up.

Well my Sun Day just got whole lot Better love your videos take care my friends God Bless

Wow weeks of work cleaning this cemetery can't wait to hear it's history when you complete the research

Robert, the president of the FORGOTTEN CEMETERY SOCIETY.. keep up the good work.

These poor forgotten souls thank u for giving them live again

That was beautiful. I get a bit teary when I see tiny graves. Love what you gonna be doing there, I so look forward to it. Thank you so much for taking me along, p,ease stay safe and take care

I think this is one of your most over grown ! Stay safe !

Really enjoyed the two Roberts really work well together. Love your conversations. How is Cody? Enjoy seeing him as well

It's so sad the land is being developed around it those poor babies

Oh my goodness! I just did a video of a forgotten cemetery in town on the edge of a nice subdivision. The wood line was almost impossible to penetrate. The last person buried there was 1859.

Now there's a cemetery where a LIDAR camera drone would reveal amazing results.

That's what GrandPa always said. "You first!"

You guys are so brave to go into such a wooded and weeded area

YIPPEE another abandoned cemetery to be reclaimed!!! Robert and Robert together seem to be bloodhounds, sniffing out old, neglected, abandoned cemeteries!!!

Hi Robert & Robert, it's absolutely heart breaking to see that cemetery in it's present state. Thank you for every thing you do so these people are not left forgotten. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx💖🤘

Hello Robert an the other Robert stay well an have fun i enjoy yalk looking for old cemetery an things

Reminds me of a cemetery that was in the path of a freeway widening for the "new" international airport near Dallas Texas. There were 2 graves that weren't moved. A chain link fence was put around the 2 graves. It was in the area between the freeway and access road. As far as I know it's still there.

Hallo Robert this is a great video i love old cemeterys and old stuff thank you i love all your videos much love from Croatia

Thanks for taking us along Robert. We love the local historians (Robert this time).

Its a shame this cemetery being in town on such a busy road and in the shape it is. Shame on Georgia for alowing these cemeteries you take us to get in this shape. I understand some of the lost ones in the woods but this one is right out in plain view.

This hurts the heart. Lulah A. Jones , b. Sept 6th 1857..d.April 5th, 1860. Love her name! Findagrave says says there are 10 graves total.

The 1978 pictures of the cemetery , on Find a grave, really highlight just how overgrown it's become. But...then again we too change a lot over 40 years. Lol

The dead, and their history are inconvenient..we ignore them, or simply pave them over.

Great find. Looking forward to going back. 🌳🌿🌳

Every time I watch one of your videos I think it can’t be more poignant than the last but it is! How terrible that it’s left to grow over; Neglected and forgotten. I appreciate all the work you guys do on your own. Ty for taking us along. ❤️✨

Thanks for showing that forgotten cementary. Very sad there is no organization to clean this all and make it public. The Graves are history of the country. Vandalism is a real problem still but not the reason to do nothing there. I few more years it becomes a forest..

Thank you. I saw where another wonderful person put flour of the writing so it would show up. One of your subscribers recommend this person who repairs Veterans headstones. My parents both were Veterans and my lineage continues for generation. Keep up being the brave and passionate historical team. They are not forgotten they are just taking a nap. As one stone said they were asleep.

Those are all babies. That breaks my heart.

Thank you for preserving the history on film

Very interesting!!! Kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷😊

All the graves beside roads unfortunately are not resting in peace 🙁 .. a great find though Robert and Robert 👍 are both amazing men (including Cody too)

omg how sad these lost cemeteries neeed our care and love for the world

I appreciate all the work you guys do on your own.

I cant wait to see it if its cleaned up..great find Take care guys..😊

I hope you guys put all these on Find a Grave so people can know where these forgotten burials are. I can't tell you how many family members I've researched that I can not find an obit or a burial from back in the 1800's up till even the 1990's.

It was good to see the other Robert. I love you two together.

Thank you for taking us with you ! So very special ❤️

I hope the land owner keeps the cemetery there. Maybe putting a fence around it. Amazing that you found it right inside the city -- along a busy road yet! What incredible history! It's always sad to see children's graves. What a heartbreaking time for the parents of the little ones who died so young.💔

It's so beautiful there, that cemetery is in great condition concerning the saplings nice find

I cant understand when you go to these places u don’t bring something to help u brush off the markers. You do such an excellent job. Keep up the good work. God bless u.

Looking forward to when you come back and do more here. How interesting. So sad that's it so overgrown, and development is so close.

Robert & Robert, you do a great service, documenting these cemeteries. Thankyou 👍👍

Such a shame. Someone cared enough to put up the fence. Now, maybe some other caring people will care enough to clean this up. Doesn't matter if they were your ancestors or not. They were members of the community that worked and laid the foundation for the communities we live in today. They earned our respect, in my opinion and should not be forgotten.

Hey yall Roberts. If you get a chance. Go through Godwin cemetery in phenix city. My gg grandparents graves are there Wiley H Coulter. I am in Texas and have never seen those graves but would really like to. I watch all your videos on both your channels and enjoy your content. Thanks

At least Robert did bring something to cut some of the tree branches off and some gloves to protect his hands but at least y’all did find it and it’s so sad to see little babies buried there. It’s a great find for y’all to come back and uncover some more. God Bless y’all

fascinating! looking forward to your further exploration

Love the vids. Keep up the great work.👍

Can't wait to see the update of this video.

Great video. Greetings from Aussie 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Robert, I just found an old book I was given years ago called "Spoon River Anthology". It is all about the story of people buried in a cemetery. Very interesting. Probably still on Amazon.

Thank you for sharing this with me ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you guys maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas .

Most of the abandoned cemetery is more than hundred years.

Can't wait until you go back there

Wow,Neat. Lets hope that by you bringing attention to this unusual cemetery, the development company does something to preserve it more and protect it from Vandalism!! It would be nice to learn more history on this place too. Bless you Robert&Robert....and as always...THANK YOU!! 🤗🦃 P.S. I want the Save the Byrd House coffee cup for my birthday in Dec. the 21st actually. Was supposed to be a X-Mas baby but got tired of waiting. 😆✌️

Those two graves at 5:30- I've only ever seen 2 like that here in NJ. One is in a cemetery here in Atlantic County, and the other is all by itself in a field in Salem County.

Truly appreciate your videos

Would love to see you come to surry, wilkes county north carolina sometime! I love old cemeteries and I'm a big fan of Find a Grave.

you guys go to Chef Lee? as usual great video.

Love the knowledge the older gentlemen brings to the channel!.

So nice guys keep up the good work ❤️👍

How cool you find this grave site, hopefully the city and get it cleaned up and more people would be able to see it and learn more about the past. Keep up the good work you two
