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.
#graves #cemeteries #death

Hey Ron, take extra Vitamin C while out there walking in that cold and dampness! We don’t want you getting sick! Thank you for bringing this video to us while freezing you butt off!!! 😳 We love and appreciate your time. Stay safe!!! 😊

[@twilightpurpleglow]

Came in late from my garden, enjoying 76F degrees but they warned us cold weather is coming: yes of course cause Ron will come by San Antonio bringing Chicago's cold. Thanks for the walk, wind and a...propeller plane. John Bunyan Slaughter (Dec 15, 1848 - Nov 11, 1928) was an American rancher and banker. Born to a ranching family. Interesting Cemetery, Thanks for the amazing stories specially Maj. Carswell, a movie should be made about him. May they all RIP.

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

Yeah, sad to say it’s coming with me. Welcome to Texas. Lol. Thanks for the info on the mausoleum.

Dorothy Buchanan's father, Thomas Buchanan, was a railroad worker and he always walked through Bayside Park on his way home from work. Dorothy went to the park to wait for him coming home and was brutally murdered. Her body was dumped under the concrete bridge at the entrance to the park. The murderer was never found. This happened 103 years ago.

Such an interesting story about these two men. Thank you for the history on them. I had not ever heard about them. Pretty statue at 37:23 So sweet and so sad 58:58 Oh that angel statue at 59:42 is amazing. I pray the weather improves for you. You work so hard and I really hope that you get to enjoy some warmer, clearer weather. You need a break from the winter cold. You get plenty of that back in IL.

I missed the live and the premiere last night had to watch the replay, husband has been traveling a lot and he was home just for two days and back out. Loved the Montgomery Ward premiere. I understand about going to cemeteries in a bad neighborhood. There is a really cool cemetery with so much history in it in downtown Jacksonville Florida but the neighborhood is scary.

Hopefully iI will be catching some lives soon since I'm now addicted to your channel, Mr Ron! I live in a very rural area of Indiana County, Pennsylvania.

Hi from Clovis New Mexico

[@susanirvin7674]

Fun fact: right after Short passed, his burial site had to be guarded for a time due to the fear of grave robbers as Short was known for his flashy gemstone pieces such as a sapphire set of cufflinks and matching ring. He was buried with his jewelry and after a couple of attempted robberies, they hired some men to keep guard. Also, I ran a paranormal team here in Texas for many years. We went all over to the smaller unknown areas because like you, I like to hit up the unknown places and stories, so if you ever want to do anything paranormal related while in the DFW area, I'd love to speak to you. Safe travels Ron!!

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

I'd been away from your channel for a few months and now find that you were near me in Fort Worth last month. Sorry that you didn't catch one of our prettier weather days. I'd been hoping you'd do Oakland Cemetery as it has some of the earliest settlers from the area, but I can understand your feeling nervous about that area of town. At Oakwood, you stopped at the mausoleum for Burk Burnett around 38:00. He is the namesake for a town near Wichita Falls TX.
