  1. A wonderful view of a beautiful cemetery. Did you notice the sun rays when you were in front of the first mausoleum? Quaker Oats is a big company here in Cedar Rapids. You can always tell when it's Crunch Berry day! I got chills about Mary
    What an inspiring story! She probably would have volunteered to help in WW2.Great video!

  2. Another educationally satisfying tour through history. Thank you for all that you do to enrich the minds of all who are lucky enough to watch your work. May you sir and your channel be as an historical part of this state as the many you highlight. God Bless

  4. The nurse was amazing! Only ever heard of Florence.
    Cool to learn about the man who made oatmeal ! A winter staple!😘

  10. You always have the most beautiful music in your videos! πŸ˜€ The history and lives of those who lay there are fascinating. I love walking among the gravestones during the day and reading the epitaphs as well as being fasciated by the artistry of the gravestones/mausoleums, etc.. πŸ™‚

  11. Hi John!!! What a beautiful lesson in History from the Cemetery. My goodness, people just do not know whom may be interred there, and what all they contributed to the good of this world. I'm looking so forward to part 2. The story of the Nurse was most touching, and i know she will have a home in Heaven for all the work she did during the wars. As always, stay safe on the road, and may God bless you and your family!!!

  12. Getting married at a cemetery sounds like something I would do except for the whole marriage part. πŸ™‚

  13. That was interesting, and I look forward to part two! Mary certainly was a dedicated nurse. So fascinating about all her medals. All that travel to various countries must have been tiring. Especially as it would have been by ship back in those days. No quick flights by plane! Great video, as alwaysπŸ™‚
