_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

I think it’s really only in recent times that kids have been allowed to be kids. Though the US needs to change its laws on allowing girls to wed at 14 with parents consent for a country that claims to be 1st world it has 3rd beliefs. I recall my ex wanting to marry my two daughters to his friends sons. Notice ex and we are safe in Scotland now even if I have to fight the US courts my kids are not going there.

Not only was he a mere child, he had committed a violent murder against his parents, and saved his sister. Most of the grown men in that prison had probably gone through similar abuse or worse as children. I'm pretty sure they related to him, and saw themselves in him, and protected him. For him to come away from that adult male prison a completely normal person with dreams and goals, says ALOT about how he was treated. Imo, he was VERY MUCH protected, and was also apparently educated in prison...probably by inmates...and worked in the library where he had access to books and learning material... Taught to read and write. Nothing in the story suggested he was ever in school before the murders.

My Dad is 80. 10 children, 5 boys Dad had a farm. He worked. Whether he liked it or not. My grandfather was born to a tobacco farmer in KY. All the kids worked. When he was 3 he got side tracked and was whacked on the back by his Fathers cane. It was so hard he sprawled out face first in the dirt. Regardless how you are treated killing your parents you have a mental illness. Kids love unconditionally and they think all kids are treated like they are.

He got off easy compared to the following case: The youngest girl ever to be executed in the United States was Hannah Ocuish, a half-Native American girl who was hung for the murder of Eunice Bolles in Connecticut in 1786. Today, the Innocence Project are investigating whether her execution was itself a crime born of racism and the need to find someone culpable for the death of Eunice, a young daughter of an influential local farmer. Hannah was twelve years old.

I worked in a county jail as a corrections officer for 5 years. Most men that came through were repeat offenders doing petty crime but I’ll never forget this 14 year old we got in for murder. I booked him in and took him to juvenile where he was until he was sentenced to 30 years. He did time at a juvenile facility until 18 then came back to our jail to await transfer to prison. I’ll never forget the look on his face as we drove into the prison intake facility. He was terrified to the point of shaking and began to cry. 26 more years of his life were spent there. I often wonder if he ever became anything or if he was institutionalized.

His mother had a large Catholic family when her husband died. All his siblings were sent west to farms. He was adopted to a wealthy lady who owned a dress shop & really adopted a 12 year old boy ,because she needed help around the shop & house ,lifting, painting and handy man repairs that she didn’t want to pay for. It all worked out wonderful for him & he was able to stay in contact with his mom. Later gather everyone some of the sisters had married out in western states ,but later some came back East. He ended up working for the railroad as well

I guess he had all he could take and snapped. 😢 I am so glad he bettered himself in prison and when he got out he made a completely different life for himself. It doesn't happen that way for alot of people 😕 Great story Ron! Thanks my friend ❤️

Poor guy never got to experience a real childhood. Everyone has their limitations and it sounds like he was pushed way beyond his. 💐💐

That was interesting and had a good ending! It's great to see people redeem themselves. That was such a good idea the governor had to have him write letters regularly describing what he was doing.

This is an interesting story Ron thank you. In this instance I can understand why John did what he did, he'd had a painful upbringing so his head must've just blown, I doubt he would be worse off in prison than with his family. I'm glad he got a full pardon... rip John

I think I would have done the same thing instead of putting up with the abusive family. It's great he received parole and lived a good life. Thanks for the story, Ron.

Thanks for all of your stories. You are a wonderful researcher and storyteller. I live in Nevada and have visited several cemeteries here. You can see trends such as how many children died at a young age, when large-scale illnesses were going around and when many people died at once in a mine disaster. All of these tombstones mark the burial place of someone whose life was a story just as those you describe. These tales are fascinating.

I grew up "Back in th hollar" in West Virginia, and there was a tradition held by some of the older, working class families back there, where Daddy was allowed to do anything he wanted to his kids and his Wife, so mental and physical abuse was pretty normal for them, usually accompanied with severe alcoholism. The tradition was, "When you can fight your Daddy and beat him, you can leave the home and go out on your own. Until then, you do what he says and you don't complain when he beats you." The Police never intervened, as this was a domestic problem, though the Preacher might 'have a talk' with Daddy, or more likely with Momma. I saw that happen several times as I was growing up, in the 1960s! Usually, before the 60s, the boys would grow up to be just like their Daddy, alcohol, abuse and all, but something seemed to change about that time, most of those boys got away and, maybe married, but never had any kids, saying" I don't want to do to them what was done to me, so I don't want no kids to test me." Some of them simply died young, one in a barfight in Chicago, (something he told me he wanted to do! That was years before he left home.) and one in a drunken car wreck, another in a "Hunting accident", while the rest simply went their own way and I never found out what happened to them. Oddly enough, none of them ever killed their abuser, saying the "Respected them too much", the same thing Hitler said about his abusive Father. However we might to plan to raise our kids, it's how we live our own lives around them that teaches them how to be a Human Being. But some take their destiny in their own hands and go another way.
