Today I visit the gravesites of some of the cast members from THE WALTON'S classic 1970s TV show, and others who are buried here in the Southern California area. The series was created by writer Earl Hamner Jr., who is buried in the Hamner Family Cemetery in Schuyler, Virginia.
Gravesite tours include:
Will Geer (Grandpa Zeb), Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum Cremation Memorial Garden, Topanga Canyon, California
Ellen Corby (Grandma Esther), Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, California
Helen Kleeb (Miss Maimie Baldwin), Holy Cross Cemetery, Culver City, California
Lewis Arquette (JD Pickett), Rose Hills Cemetery, Whittier, California
John Ritter (Rev. Matthew Fordwick), Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills, California
Jerry Goldsmith (Composer-Theme Song), Hillside Cemetery, Culver City, California
Buried out of the area or out of state:
Peggy Rea (Rose Burton), Santa Barbara Cemetery, Santa Barbara, California
Ralph Waite (John Walton Sr.), White Plains Rural Cemetery, White Plains, New York
Mary Jackson (Miss Emily Baldwin), Oak Grove Cemetery, Milford, Michigan
Cremated with no final resting place to visit:
Joe Conely (Ike Godsey)
Ronnie Claire Edwards (Corabeth Walton Godsey)
Cast members still living:
Michael Learned (Olivia), Richard Thomas (John Boy), John Walmsley (Jason), Judy Norton Taylor (Mary Ellen), Mary Elizabeth McDonough (Erin), Eric Scott (Ben), David W. Harper (Jim Bob).
Some of the other cast members are still alive, while others have been cremated and have no final resting place. Surprisingly, quite a few of them have gravesites that are unknown.
Thanks for joining me on another nostalgic road trip down memory lane to the cemetery.

Will Greer will always be grandpa Walton to me and when you went to Grandma's resting place I started to cry thinking of my own grandmother God speed peace to all of them 🙏✝️ it's amazing to see all those flowers and trees at his theater and as he played the role of grandpa Walton always talking and planting flowers and trees great video
"Good Night John Boy!" A real wholesome show, that really promoted family values!
Miles High I loved the waltons
Goodnight Jim Bob. Guess the Baldwin sisters must have enjoyed The Recipe in real life for both of them to live into their 90s.
@Timothy Duffy But those were also times when people lost their homes because of lack of jobs. My great Uncle lost his lsrge beautiful home because he didn't have $9 for property tax My grandfather and his brothers lost their source of income which was owning carnival rides to take to fairs when lighning hit their storage warehouse and destroyed everything and they had no insurance. My grandmother had to ring the necks of their chickens to feed the family. Everyone had an assigned piece and she always took the back. She skipped eating so the children could. She lived to 102 and her family was her world, but I can't say she was happy. They almost lost their house. My mom said they wouldn't have survived without FDRs New Deal. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. But it can also break your back. Yes, they had good family values and they were God fearing people but memories of growing up were full of sadness and resentment. It affected the rest of my mother's life. She died in 2008. My generation had happy memories and benefited from all the work done by my parents and grandparents. Being a kid in the 50s and middle 60s was a happy time.
@Timothy Duffy It was my Grandmother keeping everyone together. I was going back to the 29s, 30s, 40s, and I was born in the 50s. The Walton's took up in the 30s and went post WWII. The 30s were terrible for my Grandparents and all their siblings. In the 40s my Grandmother had to worry about her boys in the war and my mother had to take care of her house while my dad was in the war. He had three brothers gone as well. Mary Ellen's husband died at Pearl Harbor. The Waltons didn't live on Main St. They lived in the mountains. I actually lived on Main Street if the street signs had been up but most of the town disappeared during the Depression and as a result of a giant fire. Today it has one post office and no businesses. Whereas my grandparents and mothet had relatives all over town, I was the last of all relatives to graduate the high school in my hometown in 1971. No family members live there anymore. I go there to visit them in family row at the cemetery and still have a few friends in the area. It was a thriving town in the early 1900s.
@Timothy Duffy Say it isn't so. I'm too young (what a laugh) for Mccarthyism, but I remember everything else. First time I saw John Ritter was on the Waltons. What a shocker when he starred in Three's Company. I'm sure both my dad's family and mom's family were Democrat but changed before I came along. Being raised in Illinois, the Land of Political Corruption, may have been what encouraged me to learn about politics. I cried when Goldwater lost. I cried through Kenedy's funeral. I have a t-shirt that says "Illinois, Where Our Governors Make Our License Plates". And of course the motto is Vote early, vote often". But especially Everett Dirksen who said "When the head nods in Chicago, the tail wags in Springfield". So I got a B.S. in Political Science and took a job with the Air Force teaching Airmen to statistically analyze aircraft maintenance. For 32 years I could have no involvement in political elections. But I have a good pension with no social security to worry about. Just grandsons to raise. Had to move to Texas but finally learned to like it, even its politics. Just haven't got a gun yet.
Awesome tribute, as always. Thanks Steve!
thanks, kotysue!
Coffee and the Walton's......what a great way to start the day. I do agree with you that Grandpa Walton is the number one tv grandfather. I did love the ending of the show when everyone said good night to each other. Once again you have left us with a Melody that will play in our heads all day. Best to you and Jim.
i agree. one of the best tv endings ever! and this is one theme song i don't mind playing over and over in my head. thanks, norma. i hope you had a nice thanksgiving!
I though will geer was fantastic in the episode when they find out their oldest granddaughter has announced she is expecting . Geer is in the corner crying at the news
Oh my goodness we are so lucky to have you Steve you bring back so many memories I remember watching the waltons clearly thank you yet again for the memories steve

A great show that I grew up watching all the time I loved all of them alot and still do .
The Waltons is still my all time favorite show! I have every episode/movie they released in my collection. I also loved the movie Spencer's Mountain" with Henry Fonda and Maureen O'Hara. I appreciate all your vlogs but this one was a little bit more special to me due to my fondness for the cast and show.

thanks, lisa!
Very nice my wife and I loved the Waltons I still work full time at a fire dept and ready to retire we watch them every day at the fire dept. GOOD NIGHT JOHN BOY.
"The Waltons" was a great show and sorely missed esp. with show on tv these days. I love that all of the family could watch together. Rural VA. is beautiful, I live here!
how cool that you live there. thanks, dawn!
I watched “It’s a Wonderful Life” last night and Ellen Corby’s brief appearance is so wonderful. “Can I have $17.50?”
yi
I liked that part to she was so adorable and the kiss he gives her made it all the more sweeter😊
i know. it's fun to see her in it.
Yes 17.50
She was also the voice of Barny Rebel's wife on the Flinstones.
You can tell we are the same age. One of my favorite shows that I relaxed to, due to the 70's were a very busy time in my life!! "Good Night John Boy.....and Steve"!
good night, pauline :-)
Thanks Steve for taking the time to show us around.
I Loved watching the Waltons, my favorite, I still watch all the reruns till this day!
This was one of those shows that we sat down as a family and watched every week, we also watched Little House On The Prairie also. Speaking of Ami aka Elizabeth its kind of cool that she now lives in Virginia not too far from where Earl Hamner Jr grew up.
Grandma first suffered a stroke but she continued to do the show even though she showed signs from her stroke! She was an amazing actress !!
@@stanleywheeler404 She was absent from the show for awhile because of her stroke. She came back, and Will Geer died shortly after her return to "The Waltons."
Kami.
The Walton's was a Great series. I use to watch this Classic 70's series with my parents. ( who are no longer with me ) mum & dad Rip I think about you everyday 💖💖
thanks for sharing your parent's memory with us, TK!
Such a wonderful trip down memory lane, thank you so much xxx much love from Australia 🇦🇺
thanks, mrlou!
Always enjoy your videos. The Waltons was one of my favorite shows. Still watch it on Prime Video.
I still love watching the Waltons
Thanks for the tour!
Really loved that outdoor theatre!! A fitting memorial
Hi Steve. I was on like number 999 and clicked to change it to 1k liked views, wow.
That has not happened to me before. I liked Will Geer and Ellen Corby, the grandparents best. What a wonderful and wholesome family values show. It was one of the best shows while I was growing up. Thanks Steve for taking us on this memorable journey!
thanks, pamela. i appreciate that!
A lovely comforting show . I used to enjoy the gentle stories and pleasant characters. Thankyou for sharing Steve 💞💞
thanks, pamela!
To be in Topanga Canyon at that time in the morning is an accomplishment unto itself. Casper is looking good and must hold the record for most cemeteries ever visited by a motor vehicle. This is another tremendous video with great visual shots and inimitable narrative. Thank you so much and stay safe on those crazy freeways.
LOL, i wonder if there's a guiness book of records for most cemeteries visited :-) it sure was early. even for me. but more surprising is that there were already dozens of people setting up for the day! thanks, PC and hope you had a nice thanksgiving!
I am a Walton's Fan...thank you for showing.
Hi Steve..ty so much..I grew up watching the Waltons and u brought back so many memories for me..much love and take care 💕🙏🏻
thanks, DD and you, too!
Loved watching the Waltons. 'Good night John boy!' Thanks for another wonder journey down memory lane.
I love watching the walton's. You forgot to mention Kami Cotler who played Elizabeth.
i guess i was having another senior moment. thanks for mentioning her, jennifer!
No problem. Looking out for you anytime.
@@TheGraveyardChannel when you mentioned their current ages, makes the rest of us seem old who originally watched the series as kids, YIKES!
Jennifer Boykin,, I was going to mention that.Does anyone know if she's still alive?
@@magpieone9390 yes she is and she has a facebook acct and I follow her.
Thank you for sharing i loved that show it was a very nice way to see a tv show i enjoy shows like that hope you had a very nice Thanksgiving.
thanks, olivia and you too!
Thanks Steve. Huge fan of "The Waltons". Stopped watching the show regularly when Will Greer died and Richard Thomas left the show.
The actor who took over the role of John Boy wasn’t very good at all
Loved the Walton's! My favorite. I could watch it forever and never get bored
Loved this show. Those were great days in which to grow up.
I agree 👍
Thanks for still respecting who is not with us today.Rest In Paradise Peace all.Snrb
Another great family show, thank you Steve
Thanks for getting to show us places we would never get to see , and I know you love to travel.

I love the Waltons! Still watch it today!
Hi Steve,
Another great video, it brought back a lot of happy memories

All the best now.
Denis Reilly. (Scotland. UK)
thanks for sharing with us, denis!
Really enjoy watching all was fascinated on our actors passing. You have a voice for guiding us through the history and resting spots of my favorite stars. Thank you so much and keep up the great work👍🏻🙋🏼
I use to watch the reruns of this show in the UK as a kid and I loved it. Another great video Steve 👍🏻
thanks, sonia!
Beautiful show I still watch it every day I laughed and cried ❤️❤️❤️
Yes grandpa Walton, loved those ♥️
I loved this show. One of my favs. Thank you for this.
I can understand why The Waltons was your favourites. It’s been so many years since I have seen an episode but I remembered liking it as a young child. Nice vlog as always, Steve.
thanks, kevin!
I loved the "Walton's ". I agree Will is the best grandpa. "Spencer's Mountain", I love that movie!! Have a great day my friend..
thanks, laura. you too!
The Waltons was a favorite program. Too bad the people who played Grandpa and Grandma died.
Was soooo in love with this show as a small boy back in the uncomplicated 70's.....
That was the BEST SHOW. Loved it.
Me TOO!! Explain to me why I find your blog so compelling. It IS!
STEVE I LOVE THE WALTON I COULDN'T IMAGINE LIVING BACK THEN BUT I LOVE THE SHOW MY SISTER GAVE ME ALL THE WALTONS
EPISODE'S SHE HAD 9 SEASONS OF THEM SADLY SHE PASSED ON LAST YEAR'S BUT FOR ME I GOT HER MOVIE'S AND HER MUSIC THAT MAKE ME HAPPY SHE WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART💛💜💙
thanks for sharing your sister's memory with us, elaine. what a nice gift to remember her by.
Another great video Steve love watching your channel. I have watched the Waltons reruns for as long as I can remember. It was one of my grandparents favorite shows. Hope to see more videos soon.
glad you liked it, PD!
STEVE . What a great video .;....,THANK u so..so mutch...
thanks, turok!
Awesome video thanks for sharing
This brings back some happy memories. Thank you.
Hey steve! It's Jimmy once again and I must thank you for this one! Seems like as a child of the 1970s,I grew up right along with the Walton kids. My mom being from wythville,va. Grew up in the same manner so I would guess that's why we watch the show even today in re-runs! I even have the theme music on my phone for her when she calls me! 👍👍👍
how cool. thanks for sharing with us, jimmy!
@@TheGraveyardChannel you're very welcome 🙂 hope you have a great holiday my friend!
Hi ya Steve, who don't remember the Walton's. Sad some gave this thumbs down. How dare they.they gave us warm feeling inside. Even if you was child. Remember them doing the Walton's home for Christmas.every year when the children had grown up married had children of their own, who didn't cry when grandpa died on show, we loved grandma and grandpa Walton. Loved all of them. I enjoyed the rest of the blog and the other people you spoke of. Take care. I have saved this, but I save all of them to reach watch later. Afa, neita.
thanks, neita! i guess some people just don't like sentimental trips down memory lane. glad you do!
@@TheGraveyardChannel I look at it this way we are all here for a little while. Try have fun and enjoy life, but most of all do what you love. Death is nothing to fear I see it all the time. Only a few are afraid. I'm not.I enjoy seeing the different head stones. There's nothing ugly about death.some say its morbid to say some cemeteries are beautiful. But I don't.anybody would want be in place where their family, friends and loved ones would want visit. I don't want my ashes kept in somebody's home..I'd rather be placed in urn at my fathers feet.I'd like think when my time comes I'll be ready. Take care, aga neita,
Interesting and good tour of these great actors and actresses final resting places.
I loved the Walton's too! I only live about 75 miles from the Hamner home ( Walton's Mountains) I love to go to their house and sit on the front porch, the real home isn't as large as the one on the show, it is now open to the public as a museum, and so are the junior and High school that the kids attended. Its beautiful up there in the summer. I'm a new subscriber, I really enjoyed your video, it was great, long live the wonderful cast of The Walton's, 😊🌺🌻
i would love to visit their house one day. thanks for subscribing and thanks for sharing with us, julie!
I still watch The Walton’s today! Love it! When I was a kid, I had the biggest crush on Jim Bob :)
I attended a play that my friend Will was in back in 1975. Will owned a house in his home town in Frankfort Indiana across the street from us. He would come back often and site on the porch. So many memories chatting with him
that sounds really nice. thanks for sharing this with us, michael!
Thanks Steve. Great tour.

Hello Steve! I'm Luis, I bumped into you at Forest Lawn a few weeks ago! Love this video. I saw A Mid Summer's Night's Dream at the Topanga theatre when I was in 3rd grade!
