ICONIC Graves - Al Capone, The Boys Salerno & Di Salvo Family - Part 1 of 2 "SPECIAL"

[@pennylayne5436]

Wow! How beautiful! I love looking at it thru the eyes of your drone. I can’t get enough of this cemetery. I wish I knew everyone’s story. I don’t see death .. I see History, family, tradition, Heartbreak and love. These people could have been related to my grandparents who immigrated here from Italy 🇮🇹. I also see a moment in time that people have forgot. A Thank you so much for doing this. I wish it was longer. I didn’t want it to end.

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

Boy are we similar. This cemetery, as others, is pure history. I so wish we could retrieve some of the stories. I would not be bored hearing about an average family’s joys and struggles from the early 1900s (for example). I have thought about it many times. How could that even be possible? It is possible, but it would take a lot of hours. One could take it “one family at a time”. Maybe this is a sideline that we chip away at some day. We could even have a small group of people in our Faces family here that could, for example, call the family descendants of a selected grave or family plot and get the stories. Just like your family and mine, we all have the stories. And many of us have the old black and white pictures. We were only touching the surface when we did the Mastrangelo mausoleum tour, but that’s what I’m talking about. All of the stories are locked up in a little cache right now with the descendants of each family. The stories are there to be told. At least all is not YET truly lost to the sands of history. Wow - this is great Penny; on giving me something to chew on here. All of us. It’s not been done before. And I love doing things for the first time. It’s the explorer in me. 😊

[@kimglass4851]

@@FacesoftheForgotten I always wanted to do a website of all our cemeteries in my city where one could give the families history in detail, add pictures, state how they died etc and anyone can add to it....more of a detailed family tree. Im not a web designer though and wouldnt even know how to go about doing this but I would love to see someone do it some day :)

[@pennylayne5436]

@@kimglass4851 maybe search thru KZbin on web design or setting up a web page. It’s may not be that difficult.

The drone and music are amazing! So peaceful. Thank you...

This is so nicely done! The dates of birth and death of the boys are during the Spanish flu so that's a possibility. That rotating stone is amazing. Another wonderful video!

[@aliciabrewer9444]

OMG Ron, this video footage of Mt. Carmel cemetery from the drone is absolutely beautiful!❤️ I knew this cemetery is really big from your past video's of it, but wow, I didn't realize it is this huge. The snow makes the cemetery look so peaceful. I LOVE this video, the music is beautiful, it fits so well with the drone shots of the cemetery. Well done Ron, you did it.

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

helloooo holland!!

[@minoublome8205]

Thought was the only Dutch person here. Glad I’m not the only one. Our graveyard are small you can’t get buried as long as in America. You pay rent for your grave if it doesn’t get paid they will dig you up and you will be cremated. But I know some awesome old graveyards in Holland 😬

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

@@minoublome8205 - rent? Heck save the money and just get cremated. Because after a couple or three generations -you’re going to get cremated anyway.

[@minoublome8205]

@@FacesoftheForgotten yeah that’s what I thought but my son is the one who choose. I’m just like when I’m dead I’m dead so it’s up to him. Some people have bought a place in a graveyard for family but as far as I know that isn’t possible anymore.

[@mrswintersparrow]

So many lives that were lived so many stories forgotten but each one a tale of the human condition. I don't think their lives are so distant from ours. Their concerns of family, home, employment, wanting the best for their children are always the same, no matter the age we live in. That's how I feel connected to the past to the names on the stones in my local church yard and how I feel when watching your amazing videos.

[@tinapresley4286]

I like the music on this one.. Violin is nice.

[@lynpiszczek4870]

Beautifully done with the drone footage. like I've said before my entire Italian family on my Mother's and Father's side is buried here from the late 1800's through this present day. I've been at this cemetery to many times through to many years, but it is a beautiful cemetery filled with interesting historic stories and family traditions. The headstone sculptures are beautiful. The Bishop's Mausoleum use to be open on Sundays but because of Covid it has since been closed to the public for now. I will look more into my families past and exact location of some graves that might be interesting to tell you. Thank you for vlogging Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Hillside.

Thanks, glad you liked it!! The cemetery is massive, yes ! Here is some good info (I had this in the description box below video): ON MOUNT CARMEL CEMETERY: Mount Carmel Cemetery is a Roman Catholic cemetery located in the Chicago suburb of Hillside, Illinois. Mount Carmel Cemetery was consecrated in 1901 and is currently 214 acres (0.87 km2) in size. It maintained its own office until 1965, when it combined operations with Queen of Heaven Cemetery. There are more than 226,275 remains at Mount Carmel and about 800 remains are interred annually.
