They steal today! Our cemetery is now fenced, but prior thieves stole the angels watching over the grave. I don't remember the names. I do remember I was glad we had no angels attached to headstones. Now we do have etched faces on some. My parents have our names, the three children, from the marriage. Hopefully, for history.

In reality what drove the United States to Declaring war upon Imperial Germany was an incident called the Zimmerman Letter. The Zimmerman letter was written by the Imperial Germany Army General staff in Berlin in code and was telegraphed to the German Embassy in New York City and was meant to be delivered to the Mexican embassy by an attache by the name of Zimmerman. A boy riding on the New York City IRT transit train found the letter and turned the information over to a local police prescient in the Bronx. The police in turn turned the document over to the United States Secret Service whom decoded the document. It detailed how the Mexican Military would create turmoil in the United States Mexican border as a diversion and the German Military would intervene into this conflict. If successful Germany upon victory was going to give back all lands lost by Mexico in the 1847 war. Hence alarm bells went off in Washington DC and in 1917 the United States Government declared war upon Imperial Germany.

This sounds a bit morbid, but when I was around the age of 8 / 10ish - Whenever I went to my grandparents, we would go out for long drives and we would always end up in some old graveyards and considering this is the UK, there are plenty. This one time we went to a very old site, which actually had stone coffins - which had once housed actual Vikings in them - Long since gone. We often went out on a sunny day trying to find the oldest and it was fun. Those days are gone now, but I still remember the many trips out, to find old gravestones with my Gran and Grandad. Now I jump ahead to my 30s and I was working for a local Authority and on this particular day I was mowing a local large grave yard and on this day, I was on a large ride on mower and with headphones on for music I was concentrating not to hit the stone graves - Which was actually not very easy, if you think how they pack graves in all angles, especially the very old ones. Now - I was manoeuvring back and forth when all of a sudden I felt a bump on the back of my Triple ( mower name ) only to see this big great old Celtic cross style headstone around 10ft tall leaning on the back of the mower, which actually was about 18in from the back of my head. Now there's nothing weird about that, apart from if the mower wasn't there, it probably would have killed me. As I propped it back up, in its hole the best I could, I never thought I would have the cause to see it again, except in passing with a mower, had I known then what I know Now - I would have felt completely different. Now I jump forward 2 - 3 yrs at home when my wife's ageing Aunt was visiting and to talk about her family tree she was investigating. She had found out that quite a few, very old deceased family members were buried in a nearby cemetery and it turned out to be the same cemetery i used to mow. It was decided that I would go - Great ! At least I new where to go and look around the 1000s of gravestones and after 1 - 2hrs of finding nothing, I moved on to an old section and quickly found myself visiting my near miss - The Celtic cross and as I was looking at the white cleanish stone I glanced over the names carved along its length and was suddenly shocked to see a name on it that was also on my list, after cleaning the other names, it became clear that this was in fact the family gravestone I was looking for ! I know think, that cross that fell on my Triple wasn't trying to injure / kill me but I like to think they were maybe saying HELLO. Strange things do happen after all, out of all the 1000s of large & small gravestones in that cemetery - It had to be that one. Strange or not you decide !! Great Days, RIP Gran & Grandad

You're in Illinois a lot. My wife is the person who designed the Illinois license plate with a bust of Abraham Lincoln in the center with Illinois scribed in Quill pen at the top. My wife is also the one who did the last artwork for Jackie Onassis. She didn't want her to call her Kennedy. In 1994. She did artwork for Sophia Loren and Lauren Bacall and others. She designed many of the vanity plates, or tags, you see on cars from Alaska to Florida. These bring in revenue for many projects, restorations, and preservation.

My mom and many of her side of the family are buried here; when she passed in 2001 there was no available space so she chose to have her remains laid at the foot of her father's grave. It's such a beautiful cemetery with the lake right there, pretty sweet final resting place I'd say. RIP mama. And Gennie 💗

I first watched this 9 months ago. I rewatched it just now. Amazing stories of the people in the mausoleums who you found in this cemetery and the way they died on the ship and washed ashore. If anyone cannot imagine how they were sucked into those stacks...just take a cup and pull it down into your bath water and see how fast the water sucks into it. Similar concept. Such amazingly different markers. Like the grand angel against the cross statue and the statue of the little boy enclosed in glass and stone and the mausoleums and statues of angels and people on pinnacles. Always interesting to hear you tell about these folks and how they made an impression in life. Also to hear about architectural styles. Coyotes were cute. 18:47 Team Beard 👍

I’m sure you are aware, however, many of these tombstones that are weathered and are now absent of names, quite often aren’t “lost to time”, yet are usually well documented by the cemeteries themselves, as well as historians from the past who have documented and sometimes photographed head stones. Many of these documents can be found at local libraries or genealogy organizations. Some well-established funeral homes also have documents and maps of cemeteries going back some time.
@FacesoftheForgotten3 жыл бұрын
yes, ty, thanks --I am well aware of this, as I spend countless hours with these admin people at different cemeteries looking for certain graves, but the point here is, From my extensive experience, many of these names that you refer to - ARE in fact lost in the records; lost in time, YES. Sometimes the names were misspelled and they are unretrievable, they are not all on databases. And some are just plain lost. This last Friday and Saturday, I spent a total of 5 and half hours at Bohemian National Cemetery looking for just one grave that is lost in time. I had a clear picture of the persons' names and they could not find it, a whole family lost. I was in the office 3 times with 3 different people looking, included the head supervisor. They say as much. The genealogists? None. The funeral home from 1915?----Long gone. I did FINALLY find the family plot, but only by literally combing the entire cemetery on every road, yard by yard by myself - in my truck. It is featured at the end of tomorrow's episode (Monday Feb. 22nd, 2PM Central time). You can watch and see, and also how they were vandalized. The statue heads are gone forever, and also lost to the sands of time. In summary, generally speaking, some of my narration is metaphorical. I am not doing a dictation in black and white or just reciting definitions of words strictly from a dictionary.

Ahh Jane Bryne, formerly Jane Burke a high school classmate of my mothers, she was the most distrusted of my mothers classmates because she was Mother Superiors snitch at the Old St Scholastica High School at the time a girl who got pregnant was thrown out of a Catholic School as a bad example one of my mothers girl friends got pregnant shortly before graduation at the time my mother was dating my father who was a sailor in the navy, and a widower with a young son Jane found out about the pregnancy and reported it to mother superior with my mother as the prime suspect she was called in and put to the inquisition, it went something like this, Mother Superior, I understand that you are seeing a sailor, do your parents know about this? ( they did) my Mom Yes Mother I am and they do, they also approve, Mother Superior, all right dear, is there anything else you want to tell me? My mom, like what mother? Mother Superior like a blessed event? My mom No Mother! Mother Superior all right dear you are dismissed! Because it was so close to graduation my mother and her friends kept quiet so that their friend could graduate, but years later ( when my half brother was about 5) at a class gathering, Mother Superior happened to notice my mom's wedding ring and asked her if she had any children, my mothers girl friends saw a chance to have some fun with her and said go ahead show her a picture of your baby! ( meaning me) when mom pulled out her wallet the picture was of me and my older half brother, Mother Superior took one look, snapped " I knew it was you"! And stormed off, for the rest of her life she never spoke to my mother.
