Consider helping support this channel, because sadly, sometimes I come across a known grave location with no marker, and sometimes I have bought that person a gravestone. Your donations here can help offset some of these costs. We have some folks already helping to build a pot for this. Let's try to make some of those names forgotten - remembered.

THIS CHANNEL:
_________________________________________________________
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.

Meatloaf is my all time favorite. My heart is broken that he passed away. He had that interest in the paranormal that made me like me even more. RIP Meat.

[@mmcken3354]

A long time friend of mine's Father was a Topeka Police Officer and drove him (JFK) to a function during his campaign for Presidency during his Senator time back in the day. Said you couldn't have met a nicer man. blessings to all. come to Pacific Northwest.!!!

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

I’ve got some stories up that way, it’s building!!!

[@somethingserious7637]

Yeaahhhh time to get cozy and watch my favorite story time🥰😆 See you flexing with the pipe today Mr Ron u go gang! 🤭👍🏾

[@lindahh798]

Sorry I missed the live feed. I believe the word for the two artillery wagons is called the caisson.... The caisson is Civil War era, but I believe they were used through WW1. The Army inserted the caisson in their fight song. "Over hill over dale as we hit the dusty trail and the caissons go rolling along.....". Cannons did accompany the wagons. Poor mules and horses as they were pulled them from one battle to another. Ron, Thank you for daring to go where nobody would do so on a day like this!

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

ty, interesting! and the weather...I LOVE walk in the snow, what a gorgeous scene it was...pristine, untouched after the snow last night.

[@roseinwinter1]

Sure are caissons!

[@lynnrobnett7199]

I grew up in Elgin! My mom and siblings were born there. I was born in Louisville, KY and have lived there for all of my adult life.

[@lynnrobnett7199]

My grandpa is at mount hope across the street. He was a World War II vet but died from injuries received in a truck accident. My uncle is also buried at mount hope, he died of pneumonia at age 3.

[@The1952trouble]

Thanks for ANOTHER great Live.

[@sCotto359]

Meatloaf i liked he wore his heart on his sleeve,, he used to get so excited while doing paranormal investigations it fascinated him

[@angelwingstn3392]

Loved talking about all the old bands from back in the day. I was born in 65 and loved many of them mentioned in this live. I had even forgot about some of them! Music sure isn't the same now days

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

That sure was fun!!!!!

[@starwarsasteroid]

Hi Ron, That's the first time I saw you smoke a pipe, that's one way to keep warm through that snowy landscape! Sorry I missed your live chat!

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

2 prior times in the last month we had the pipe, but not the same pipe!!

[@j.whiteoak6408]

That's such a worthy pursuit, L Franklin. Thanks so much for all you and Sons of Union Veterans do to keep the graves looking nice - I'd like to know someone is taking care of the graves of my family's veterans long after I'm gone. Thank you. Lest We Forget! Kindest regards, JW.

[@joseleswopes4396]

The Turtles 💕‼️Deep Purple 😍❣️

[@kitchiesmom]

When I was kid, we used to visit Shiloh. They had those cannons everywhere and they appeared so huge to me. We used to go through the military cemetery there and my dad would read the names of the fallen. The Shiloh Cemetery is a beautiful place.

[@kitchiesmom]

@@laurab1089 we went all over down there. We would take a picnic and make a day of it. I wonder if they still show that short film about the battle of Shiloh and still run the gift shop.

[@wandarogaczewski5955]

I just love the way the headstones look with the snow covering them and the wagon and other wonderful things.

[@ileneedmonds8669]

The national cemetery in Chattanooga is so impressive the 5 soldiers killed on July 16 by a terrorist are burried there.I workes a mile and a 1/2 from the first attack site on Lee Highway/Brainard Rd. So tragic.

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

yep, when I did the episode on Desmond Doss there last year, it was goose bumps...they used my episode on the local TV news channel there on Veterans Day...what a great city that is, filled with history.

[@slavicamendoza2120]

Good morning!

[@MrMetalminded]

I know I’m way late, but I didn’t hear one of my favorite bands, Blue Öyster Cult!!

[@KimberlyLew]

Lovely walk today with the snow & the sky!!!

[@Beitlet]

I missed your live again! We have a lot of snow like that here in Toronto- Mississauga too. Looking forward to watching this video!

[@ANNEMARGARET0319]

Yes! In the summer you need to go to Connecticut and cover the Hartford circus fire of 1944!

[@dawntaylor239]

Love the walk today thanks Ron for all you do

[@valeriekoch9128]

I was shoveling snow so I missed this live. Many people from the Elgin Ferry disaster are buried there. Circa 1881.

[@johno30197]

[@muddy_mummy7774]

Hello lovely Ron. How are you and the family doing. I’m back again. Watching again. See you and that pipe. Come on let’s take a walk again in the snow. Who else watches time and time again.

[@pamelamikel7967]

Beautiful episode. Elgin is lovely especially in the snow! Thanks Ron

[@FinsMom]

Sorry I missed you live , had to watch you after grocery shopping . I really like the snowy walks . Thanks for the video!

[@bloodhoundmamajayne2818]

I admit it, I missed the live. Music chat was great but I can't believe no one mentioned my favorite band of all time. HEART!! Also I find it interesting that not one Black artist was mentioned. Has no one heard of Motown? Aretha, The Supremes, Gladys Knight, Luther, The Four Tops and many more. Someone just said ❤️ Heart

[@bloodhoundmamajayne2818]

Omgoodness!! Tina Turner!!

[@joseleswopes4396]

That wagon looks like it pulled canons and for the Men to keep bullets in, too small to hold Canon balls.🥺

[@sandyhawks1226]

Missed your live☹️ but it's all good. Wow we've not gotten the snow. We had one night of it here in the Texas Panhandle, melted off next day. But we have had the cold. As always loved your video. Fantastic!!!!

[@kkormanik]

What a phenomenal video. Thank you Ron for showing the world the respect this man so deserves. I also appreciate how you showed deep feeling of sadness yet pride in our love for Chris and our country. God Bless

[@carltonkarcher3326]

[@sammyemeyer6958]

Can't forget Jackson Browne and mungo Jerry

[@j.whiteoak6408]

I LOVE Jackson Browne!! I drove hundreds of kms to see him live when he performed at the Perth Entertainment Centre (Western Australia) in 1987 ... It was SOOOO worth it!! I got home just in time to start work the next day, LOL ... My boss was not impressed. But I was 21 years old!!

[@avrilcook8820]

Hi Ron from England. I love your pipe! Beautiful cemetery and wonderful story telling ❤️

[@janepope415]

Its sooooo cold in Florida.omg

[@gregflaten4859]

Try 17 below lol

[@safehavensanctuary-hollyg.8814]

Hey there! Just did the “walk” two months late. Did a quick scan of comments and didn’t see these fact checkers so I thought I’d share. 1.Neil Diamond is suffering from Parkinson’s disease, not dementia. 2. Gloria Estafan’s husband Emilio, is still alive. There was an article on Google addressing the death reports. I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s and this “talk” brought back so many memories, some so bittersweet. I still listen to all that music. I especially loved the women lead singers with strong rock n roll voices like Heart, Pat Benetar, Joan Jett, and Grace Slick.

[@helenaopal]

Safe travels Ron!!!

[@paullichtsinn4901]

Thanks for doing my faorite cemetary, my family is there. I really appreciate your vids!!

[@paullichtsinn4901]

When I went to school at Ellis junior high, we got dirt from Channing cemetary for our sports field and the dirt was full of brass handles and name plates from the burials.

[@annedurant6000]

[@sherrihinton8567]

I missed the live. Darn. I'm very fortunate to see it anyway

[@brianmorgan5739]

That is a gun carriage. This was utilized to carry artillery ammunition and powder stores to the field. Usually the gun crews rode on these carriages with the field artillery in tow.

[@martinedwards4522]

i cant say ive ever thought about a snow covered cemetary... seems so lonesome

[@janeymiller4579]

Herman Hermits. Enjoying the cold walk.

[@donnaanderson2683]

I didn't make your live stream, but, I'm so glad I got to watch this the same day. I'm in southeast Missouri and the day was delightful. I felt so badly for you freezing. But, as usual, you did a fantastic job!! Stay safe and warm!!

[@31Alden]

Hi Ron … Sorry I missed you Live. Beautiful cemetery. R.I.P. Faces of the Forgotten in the common grave. Greetings from Colorado.

[@ChaseArkansas]

Ron you are spectacular sir!

[@spiritmoonintuitive]

Cool cemetery; and yes your face is pinkish. Fond memories of great musicians and music. If you make it back to Dallas, there's a quaint very little cemetery just south of downtown in Duncanville; it's at 1803 Cedar Hill Rd. The Little Bethel Memorial Park. Whenever I go into Duncanville, I love driving by. It's open 24/7. There's a massive grave marker at the back; it's an open hand facing up towards heaven. I've never gone in, but it's always intrigued me. Thanks for braving the weather to bring us along🙋‍♀️👍

[@joseleswopes4396]

Patsy Cline was Awesome 🥰‼️

[@patsysummitt8618]

YES ! I LOVE Patsy Cline Music & Meryl Haggard .... And. The Eagles ...👍❤👍

Awww - I'm so sorry I missed your live! It would have been the middle of the night here, but at least I can watch it now. Happy Snowy Sunday!! The cemetery looks so beautiful all blanketed in white. Thanks Ron. XX PS - I do love your pipe .. I bought one for my husband a few years ago just like that - it's an Irish-made Petersen. Very classy. XX

[@bkin3086]

Bendiciones señor....conmovedor sus videos..!!! Blessing mister move videos you Make..!!

[@barbaragrotheer1539]

Harry Chapin died in a car wreck on the long Island expressway. I remember it well because I was going to go his free concert that night after work. He was playing at a local park on LI NY. Some one came in the coffee shop and said there was no concert because he died. We all couldn't believe it. Very sad.

[@LoveMyBoys3]

There is only ONE known man still buried at Channing Elementary School. I am sure there are many others that were left there.

[@karenaubrey5737]

I believe the civil war wagon is a Caisson.

[@playmyjams]

Hi Ron! Don't forget Kansas! Rock on! 🤘

[@suellenpratt6867]

Have an amazing trip, am so enjoying your dedication to history and your wonderful story telling. Stay safe and keep warm all our best wishes from Suzi in Qld Aussie land. 😍

Beautiful snow covered cemetary!! It looks like it goes.on for miles!! 😊 YES! Back in the.day there were lots of great bands!! A few more bands that i believe weren't mentioned were Cheap Trick, The Police, Doobie Brothers, War, Emerson,Lake and Palmer, Bad Company, Chicago and Earth Wind and Fire. Concert Tickets were only like 7.00 back in the mid 70's til at least 80!! 😃 Look forward to seeing where you land next Ron!! Love your utube channel

[@j.whiteoak6408]

Watching from Queensland, Australia! Happy Sunday everyone.

[@ANNEMARGARET0319]

Hi Ron, actually Gloria Estefan‘s husband is still living… I think maybe you’re thinking about Celine Dion‘s husband? He died - so many great bands were mentioned… there are too many good ones! I saw Def Leppard when the drummer still had his arm… ! 😂 I used to see so many concerts… Back in the day it was so cheap!

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

Oh thank you yes Celine Dion that’s who I probably was thinking of. Well that’s great to know thank you I love Gloria Estefan

[@Steph-hs5jd]

Love it!!! Snowy scene, pipe smoking , snow crunching! ❤️

[@kitchiesmom]

If you make it to Pensacola, we have a very old cemetery close to downtown called St. Michaels. It has a lot of history behind it. St Johns is another one and it is still in use today.

[@karenshepler7128]
