Thank you Jeff and Sara. I used to work at the Oak Valley Hospital I worked in the admitting Department and I got to know Lucille Ulrich very nice lady it's so sad that what happened but she was a unique lady I'm glad to have had the opportunity to have met her and help her while registering her.

I'm always impressed that you are able to find so many interesting people in your cemetery tours. Your research is so thorough. Where do you find the time to turn out such high quality videos? I also appreciate Sarah's love of animals since I also love them. I never knew a zonkey was a actual animal. That was a bonus. 🙂💕

Another good one, keeping me in history that I love- the American West ! Thanks guys !!

Your videos are so interesting and well put together. Thank you for all of the effort that it must require and thank you for sharing them with us. See you on the next one.

Another video of yours that I learned from and enjoyed! It’s amazing to see such old, ornate headstones. The Zonkey was the first of it’s kind I’ve ever seen! Sarah was so cute and brave for petting it. You’re pretty quick, Sarah! Glad you didn’t get nipped! I’m looking forward to your next “haunt”!

Ty as I am reading this my family and I are here 💓

Thank you Jeff and Sarah for sharing your love of history with us 🇺🇸

great video Jeff,thanks for showing us around knights ferry.there's a lot of history there.looking forward to the next one.

Thanks for another nice tour.

Lots of people died in their 40s due to high blood pressure which was not treated until the mid 20th century at the earliest. So sad. My family lost 3 of my 4 maternal great-grandparents in their early 40s due to strokes brought on without doubt by untreated high blood pressure. Thank you for sharing!

I enjoy your channel, thanks for sharing your videos! I love visiting cemeteries, and it’s nice to be able to do so from home while learning about the lives and backgrounds of the departed. History wasn’t always my favorite subject, but as I get older I realize the importance of carrying on legacies and handing these stories down to younger generations. I think your channel does a great job of doing that! Thanks again.

Been there many times photographing it. Thank you for the history and background of those individuals. Really appreciate your channel.

Great video. I always enjoy for cemetery episodes. And for the first time ever, in my 40 years of existence, i found out there is such a thing as a Zonkey! You learn something new everyday, thanks Jeff and Sarah.

I so enjoy your videos and learn so much! Thank you. Keep up the great work.

Great job Jeff.... also , loved the ending with Sarah and the "Zonkey"

I love your Cemetery Tours

Thank you guys . Loving your work . Jamie England uk🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍

i had no idea that graveyard was even there,having been to knights ferry so many times as a young man,and that was a long time ago.how in the world jeff and sarah find these places is nothing short of amazing.the the hours of research that goes into every video is a monumental task in itself.to the readers of history hunters there is one thing that i can assure you,if they print it then it is chiseled in stone.

Great job, appreciate all the hard work,

Very interesting, I've been remembering some of my younger days running around over in that area, Drank a little beer at La Grange a long time ago. Once while looking around the Semetary in Hornitos, we had to dispatch a rattle snake. Thanks for Sharing.

I found your channel a few weeks ago. I am obsessed! Your content is fascinating! Thank you for all that hard work you put into these videos.

That is an old cemetery. Love the old tombstones. Thanks for sharing with us.

Many Union Civil war veterans were born in Germany. The regiment of William Studyvin shown in this episode (57th Illinois) fought at the battle of Shiloh, Atlanta and the march to the sea campaign under General Sherman. It's possible he fought side by side with my own great great Grandfather who was in the 73rd Illinois. Thanks again for another interesting episode.

Really enjoyed your video!!

I've seen that zonkey in person a few times !

The love of history AND animals. Nice team.

Thank you Very interesting.....

JEFF- RE 1850'S CEMETERY A bit more history and a minor correction. Grayson Hotel at that time was on south side of river at top of hill - road ( now Shuper Road ) thru covered bridge where old Highway 120 used to run and across the road from ' ' 50's roadhouse ' generally called Buena Vista.. The original cemetery was on the hill above town where the current grammar school is. The Williams family ranch was about 2 miles east of Buena Vista - and I am reasonably sure his grave is in the oak grove cemetery. There is now online a register of names graves and locations in the Oak Grove cemetery.. And due north of knights ferry and slightly west is the the boundary of an early spanish land grant known as rancho del rio estanislao. There have long been rumors- unverified- that Grant fathered a baby with a local indian maiden who died at birth and buried ?? between Shuper Road and the Corps of engineers yard along the Oakdale irrigation district canal Have you done a story-video of Angels Camp and the jumping frog of calaveras county? or did you know about Puccini opera witten about that general area ?

Fantastic!

I'll spend an afternoon and go visit Knights Ferry & the cemetery just down the road from Jamestown, CA. We drive by Lovers Leap Rock many times on the way to Oakdale, the "cowboy capital of the world," and have heard it's where a man and his Indian lover leaped to their deaths because they we not accepted by their families regarding their interracial union. We have also met and tried to pet the Zonkey too, very unique!

Great episode! That Zonkey belongs to my buddy Fred who also has a camel.

Thanks for the video

I like the way the tombstones are shaped.Tony

Enjoyed watching this. Thank you for posting. 👍 Never saw a Zonkey before.. wow

Great history Jeff 👍🏻 like the zonkey

Excellent............

Love history.

I grew up in Modesto California and lived in Sonora and Copperopolis. Great videos!!

I like these ! Thsnks 😂😍

Just found the cemetery a couple of months ago. Beautiful , o and yes the zonkie . we got to see the pumpkin rolling contest in Knights ferry.

Jeff - huge fan of the channel. My family plot was highlighted briefly in the video (2:40 mark - Fitzhugh). My family has been trying to work with the county to try and eradicate the ground squirrels which are burrowing under headstones across the cemetery. It has been one year of little or no action and the cemetery continues to go downhill. Curious if you had any suggestions a way to get more attention and try to restore the cemetery. Sad to see it go downhill. Thanks!

Enjoy your chennel, live in the mother lode of Pine Grove of Amador county... older i get the more i love history.

Enjoyed the various tombstone readings. Always interesting. You two should have had a couple of carrots for the little guy.

That was a Zonkey, part zebra part donkey. Interesting tour. Thank you.

You really need to go to Coulterville, CA. Alot of history and hauntings... I know, I lived there... You won't be disappointed.

Loved this episode an seeing a zonkey lol x

Cemeteries like this really do remind us of just how fortunate we are to be able to live longer lives because oour advanced medicine. And I love the Zonkey :-) LOL, I didn't know they existed.

In Requa CA. you can fund the Requa Inn. Back in the 60s when we lived in Requa, the Gussin's owners at the time of Inn, Pat Gussin was a personal friend of the Gallos, Julio I believe, but anyway the Gallos stayed at the Inn many times, got to meet him when I was in college in 70s at their corporate office....WOW what a neat place!! Also was able to tour winery and bottling....good ole days long gone...☺️

Hi Jeff, My wife and I visit this cemetery quite frequently we was there a couple days ago, she asked me if You would be interested in doing a story here you already did thanks. Informative as always Love the Zonkey there!

Hello Sir, I am a history buff like you and just recently discovered your videos. I appreciate your time and work involved. Thank you. You must know that watching this evokes the same feelings as if I was there so my enjoyment gets soured in quite a few of your videos. It just takes the fun out. It sure would be nice if your traveling companion enjoyed herself once in a while.

The story about the lynching reminds me of a similar story from 1891 Reno, NV where the night watchman Nash was shot by Ortiz. While Nash was on his presumed death bed the townspeople broke Ortiz out and hung him from the Virginia St bridge (same place wedding rings were thrown after divorces. But Nash survived the shot until 1905, in fact the bullet ruptured and cured his hernia.

My parents live right up the street from the cemetery on Morrison. My grandparents are buried there.The one that I'm attracted to is way in the back on the left.Oh yeah Zip will bite you if you aren't paying attention also in the background you could see Twist the zebra, he's a little nicer. Zip is in what used to be Joe the camels paddock until someone fed him too much and he died from that, hence the signs on the fence.

In Knights ferry , on top of the ice cream store is a museum with a lot of great information

If you haven't visited the Mariposa cemetery. its very old...you would love it...

There was/still is a giraffe in that field as well ...haven't been up there in a while. I have relatives buried in that cemetery as well. Kind of off the beaten path!

I love zonkey!

Oh gosh, I never saw that cemetery! I love old cemeteries- visited the one in Hornitos many times. Let me help you a little with the German grave marker. This is a curious way of writing. Very homespun, for sure. The font used on that grave stone was popular before WW2. When I was growing up in Germany there still were some books floating around, printed in this font. It is very difficult to read. Hier ruht in Frieden (here rests in peace) Peter Gerckens (or Gerekens. In regular German words you won’t find ck following an r, l, or n. But this is a name) Geb is short for geboren (born) and very commonly abbreviated this way, den (the) 28 Septbr 1835. September is the same word in English and German, and is usually abbreviated Sept. So if the stone mason was running out of space he should have stopped there. The next line I’m having trouble with. I can’t make out all the letters, but it seems it ends in Jork, Hanover. There is a town of Jork in Germany, but it’s closer to Hamburg than Hanover. It’s possible our stone mason was referring to York, Hanover, PA. If the mason was German, and he likely was, he might have had trouble with Y and J. They are pronounced the same. That’s why it would be helpful to be able to read the preceding words. Gest (abbrev. for gestorben, died) 23 July 1863 im Alter von 27 Jahren 9 Monaten 25 Tagen. Died 23 July 1863 at the age of 27 years, 9 months, 25 days. The curious thing here is that July is an English word, the German word for July is Juli. There is an old way of saying Juli in German, but that would be Julei, as to differentiate it from Juni, or June. Juni and Juli sound very similar. So while all other words are German, there’s one that’s English. I’ll check out that graveyard sometime this winter. My friends and I like to visit the restaurant by the Stanislaus River. So I’ll try to decipher Peter’s headstone. It’s bugging me that I can’t read it! OCD? Gee, thanks, Jeff! 🤣

Why don’t you do a tour of Mare island Cemetery in Vallejo

My uncle Richard Bradley Ardis is buried in this cemetery towards the back of it..

First time i seen a Zonky :)

The old Covelo Ca cemetery has a grave of one of the Ca Bear flag raisers is buried there

How 'bout that, Tom, Dick and Harry! Truth to a common verse. Old cemeteries are interesting in that they are artistic in their tombstones. Modern ones can be somewhat boring like military ones.

Jeff, seeing how short their lives were back then really makes you think how long you would have lasted at that time, I'm 55 years old and I probably wouldn't have made it this long without the inoculations and medical care that I've received throughout my life.... Just a thought that came to me while watching many of your excellent cemetery videos.

i remember that night in 67

The cemetery was nicer than Modesto s pioneer

The last name BOEHM is actually pronounced with a long A sound. “bame “.

The good ole days....when you were lucky to make it past 30😉

Ah Sarah always finding the animals!

A lot of damage in these older cemeteries. I would like to think because this is high earthquake country. That’s where most of the damage has come from.

No antibiotics back then. Surgeries were different etc.

All these old places and buildings you investigate have you seen any ghosts or scared of a noise of something that wasn't there

Sarah needs to pack some apples for the horsies.

The zonkey probably would’ve eaten some food if Sarah had any. But they can be asses. Let you pet their nose then try to bite.

It’s actually considered Northern California not Central.

Horse thieves are the worst. Same with grand theft auto dirtbags.

I sure miss California yet cost of living way to much. You need least 3 jobs to just pay rent on a dump.

Most of been alot of ill people there dieing young

It is never good to avenge someone's death.Tony

Yea alot of Freemasons in the 1800s
