UPDATE - Several viewers had said that there was a flood and that’s why those stones are laid back there. But apparently not so. Our viewer named John, who lives a mile away for a long time said:
"This cemetery has unfortunately had issues for many, many years due to its age & location. It was later surrounded by an industrial park after the many nearby cemeteries and tuberculosis sanitarium was built across the street. I have owned & lived less than a mile east of it for 30 years and know it has been vandalized numerous times due to its nearly secluded location surrounded by the industrial park and no security or gates for many years until more recently. I believe the flooding mentioned by others was the Indiana Ridge Lawn Cemetery but it has also been a problem near here as well. The sad stacked markers are from a mobile crematorium which was going to be placed there in the early 1990s which was blocked after a large outcry from relatives of the deceased and neighbors who found out about the plans prior to its use. The property has been transferred a few times due to the age and original temples that formed it in the early 20th century long being dissolved after leaving the West side of Chicagos Lawndale neighborhood. The caretakers could not afford upkeep for many years to my knowledge the last I heard."

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.
