GRAVES OF TRIPLETS AND MORE IN 177 YEAR OLD CEMETERY (PART 4)

all right so this time we will start out with the historic marker this is the whitesville methodist church cemetery the adjacent cemetery predates the church building it has several types of burial markings from the earliest stacked stone and brick graves to metal male-ordered grave markers there are numerous family plots defined by retaining walls copings and iron fencing many graves are unmarked as uninscribed fieldstone markers were inadvertently removed the earliest burial date on a marker is 1844 for reuben mobley one of the churches what mobley gosh how many times i'm gonna tell you it's modelling that's my blood that's right he was the founder of this church they met at his home to start off with and they got up enough money they built the church hey look at this right outside before we go in there and look at that one look right outside over there i see it what is that it looks like a foot stone but i see two so probably not it's probably marking a little child's grave tally didn't we see some talent we just saw some tallies interesting i'm gonna pull this one up this is for only for nothing but ants nothing but ants but it is the smaller of the two stones yeah italian all right we're way outside this yeah all right so this is the last standing fence we found that beautiful ornate wrought iron fence in the woods over there but this is the last standing fence in this cemetery it's a stewart ironworks one that we see relatively common let's see if it still yep still works still works here look at that look how it's you know we've seen this at linwood yeah we've seen it over in katala yeah waverly hall possible yeah in the woods oh yeah you see it in the woods all right so i'm gonna get in here and kind of skim this one since it's raining but this is william notley maddox october 25th 1843 to december 1st 1910 thy life was beauty truth goodness and love and at the top is in the sonic burial now this is an interesting one here with the ball on top the globe on top emma r frost wife of william in maddox february 18 1851 to january 20th 1900 kind of see the comparison between the two stones there i do have my flashlight slowly fading slowly fading lingering dying like the leaf she passed away heeding not our tears of anguish heaven has claimed its own today and we weep for me to live in christ and to die for me to live as christ and to die is something right there what does that say it did end there robert nothing on that side now look here yeah right next to the wife first thing i noticed was not the name yeah look how it's this is what is that granite marble marble i think is this thing sagging yeah it is but the water's pulling in it right there it's sagged it's safe go ahead and read this one mrs r.a rodney born december 23rd 1828 no 1823 23 died september 11 11 september 11 1896 mother of emma maddox mother-in-law yep yep that's it says emma r frost i wonder if it's emma rodney frogs wonder she was married before no her mother was a redney yeah but she was a frost now i do remember some people used to have four names they would try and cram their family heritage into the name right and they would name it after grandparents or whatever just to get that name but you're right she could have been a she could have been mrs frost so and right next to them are some children their children are they the children i can't make this out i'm trying to no they're not mr son of mr and mrs j.a williams wow the poor kid didn't live long january the 16th what's his name walter walker walter williams january 16 1891 died april the 5th 1891. children this is clarence grandson of mr and mrs amos smith that's interesting son of mr and mrs j.a williams and grandson of mr and mrs amos smith you don't see that not too often do you see the grandparents february 8th 1885 died july 4th 1885. another one did not live long at all you remember that other cemetery we went to in the woods that had a bunch of 1880s kids kids that died in the 1880s was that not the one in the woods the one that was down in town was that the one that was down in town there was one in the woods too that had a bunch of kids that died in the 1880s we went to it right before we came to this church for the first time video's still not released oh that's why yeah the video is still not released we do so many i'm not here all right so this is annie m smith wife of j.a williams and daughter of mr and mrs amos smith born november 10 1857 and died march 8 1885. so her child died after she did she died march 8 1885. when the child died she died a month after her child was born her child was born february 8 1885 she died march 8 1885 and her child died july 4th 1885. now if you notice this one who's the son of mr and mrs j.a williams this is from a different marriage because walter was born 1891 and died 1891. so is that this husband no this is the grandparents right here mr and mrs amos smith the grandparents of this child this was from a different marriage and annie here was the daughter granddaughter no the daughter sorry of amos smith who was born february 7th 1831 and died may 6 1908. look here and here's john anderson williams august 27 1851 died to june 30th 1923. i wonder where uh the second wife is maybe she's back here it could be so that was amos smith right there who was the grandparents of the little child this is emily smith what does that mean the camera sis sister of emily smith sister of amos smith born february 1st 1837 died february 11th 1885. so what i'm seeing here is amos smith must have been a pretty important fellow at least in his family for them to note his sister his daughter his granddaughte grandchild there there's another one this is sarah daughter of mr and mrs amos smith february 12th 1870 to july 10 1890. can you make this one out see connie e connie e daughter of mr and mrs amos smith born july 6 1878 january january 6th 1878 died february 26 1892 she died very young very young fanny g smith the wife of amos smith born february 29 1840 died march 10th 1916. right here by my feet so i guess this is the that looks like a footstone hey you know what this is this is the side of a fault script look look at the cutout right there yep that was uh probably just a reuse maybe they went to the stone maker and just bought some seconds or something to mark a grave of who of who of who and look here another daughter of mr and mrs amos smith ali smith she was born october 17 1882 and died november 29th 1965. it was a long time she sure did it's um it's hard to believe you know the daughter of mr mrs amos smith was alive in your lifetime yeah you know smith the big one is maddox maddux look over there another maddox another maddox so could the maddox and smith somehow never been related yeah either marriage or family of some kind of medic problem j.a maddox born august 10th 1833 died july 2nd 1905. now you know as well engraved as these are we might not even need like ancestry.com to put it together because it notes you know yeah that's what just caught my eye when you were backing away caught your eye oh daughter of a revolutionary soldier in loving memory of familia a consort of notley maddox september 30th 1806 to may 1st 1900 wow the rain and the weather has really mother i make out mother i can make out mother too to the we too something and that's it something was here also the water has taken its toll on that one she was a daughter of a revolutionary soldier though yeah huh now if this plaque is here you know what that means what's that there's a
