Poor Baby Doll - Lost Forever.

[@Steve.Cutler]

I can only imagine the horror her family went through. Whenever im in a cemetary and see a childs grave it always makes my heart hurt a little.

[@shellymedley6795]

Traveled thru Kentucky years ago trying to find husbands grandmothers grave in Litchfield. Every cemetery we walked through had many, many babies-toddlers-young children. We were surprised but shouldn’t have been. Entire families died within days of each other. Must have been disease that wiped everyone out. Graves were from later part of 1800’s to 1980’s. Sad indeed

[@Fancymoi]

I remember as if it were yesterday. My dad was a crane operator and went to help. I was traumatized by this event for years, but have never forgotten her.

[@rayarena879]

Thank you for remembering her and putting a flower on her grave. How tragic. I don't even want to think what she suffered in that hole.

[@MrTurtluv]

This poor baby girl, and her family. So sad.

[@julsjewels3185]

I just visited the grave my of two year old uncle who passed in 1937at the age of two from a fall. It disturbed my grandmother so much that she went to an institution for many years. My father was five and moved away with his father who passed ten years later. He then went to live with an aunt and in me so he lied about his age and joined the army meeting my mother. Sadly he passed at age 35. I don't know know where my grandparents are buried and am searching. I have no other relatives from my fathers family. It was comforting to visit little Uncle Bobby. It imagined my dad scooping him up in his arms in heaven.

[@kerri-annebarton9615]

Thank you for sharing a very moving part of your family history. May I suggest you search for their gave plots via their surnames. If you Google search ‘grave sites’ you’ll find options from there. All the best. Stay blessed 🙏🏼💕

Oh wow this is the story my Mom told me about when I was a child. She had news clipping of it. It scared me to death. We had an abandoned well in our back yard. I stayed clear of it. My name is Kathy also. Bless lil Kathy and family’s heart. I’ll be 62 the 28th and have never forgotten this. 😢🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Remember Jessica being rescued , the digging and their hearing her … poor little Kathy 💔

[@joeyperry705]

I work on water wells in Texas. We are required by law to plug wells “fill them with concrete”. That’s a tragic story and my heart really goes out to the father of Catherine. Rest in peace Cat.

[@philip2010]

That old well should have been filled with concrete or gravel totally unsafe that poor little girl may she rest in peace

[@joeyperry705]

@@philip2010 you’re supposed to use concrete so the formation will stop filling the well. It’s the law. We plug old wells all the time.

[@thatguyjoe007]

I can't imagine anything more painful, than losing a child.

[@Wendeajo]

I lost one as an adult and let me tell you, no other disaster in my life, and there have been many, touches it.

[@purdy0430]

My aunt, Emma Lou Burns fell in a well at 4 years old in 1943. Fortunately, she was saved and lived a long life.

[@monicahyland8641]

I would have been a broken woman if this happened to one of my children . I’m truly sorry for anyone who has ever lost a child especially in a instant tragic event 😢

[@gailjackson910]

Remember Jessica fell into the well in Midland, Tx. in the '80's ?

[@maryjaneblues7712]

Yes! If u google it there is an article somewhere with her as an adult.

[@catherinerose1607]

Yes I remember that well.

[@mileshigh1321]

Yes, he did mention her! What a story that was!

[@sandysue202]

I had a little girl the she age as Jessica and I was horrified. I have always had a fear of old wells and falling into one. What a huge relief that she survived!

[@marylivermore-be2ir]

Yes but she was saved

[@Prillo0]

The end of this video... 😭😭😭😭 A beautiful tribute to this precious little girl, who was only on this earth for a short time.

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

agree, that old footage is heartbreaking to watch.

[@MaryHouse-i7k]

So sad lil Kathy and rip Kathy 🙏😇 ... thanks for not forgetting her Ron.... bless her lil heart ❤️...... Mary

[@bessima59]

Thank you Ron, for telling Kathy's story. A sad story and tragedy of this little girls horrible accident. RIP Kathy, sweetheart😪😪 You will not be forgotten.....

[@MikeSwinehart]

Hello Ron. I love listening to you tell the stories of people who have passed away. The circumstances, the how’s and the whys. But this one got to me. I was a fireman for 33 years. As you were telling this sad sad story about little Cathy I began crying very very much. PTSD came to visit me again. The terrible calls I went on. The large number of little Cathy’s and others. Thank you so very much for not forgetting little Cathy and all the others. I look forward to watching you future faces. Thank you and God bless.

[@welcome_to_the_collapse]

Fortunately, mom, dad, maternal grandparents, and maternal great grandmother are buried in the same cemetery.

[@H_H_____]

I worked 20 hrs and missed that you posted this story. I just found out about this post. Such a heartbreaking event. That Dad tried to prevent anyone from having this happen, only to have it happen to his baby girl. 😢

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

I just love your loyalty and commitment. It inspires me.

[@H_H_____]

​@@FacesoftheForgotten I rewatched this one today. Saw your kind comment. Thank you Ron. You and your channels are the best and my favorite to watch and listen to over and over.

[@salsingleton6175]

This made my heart hurt. Bless little Kathy and her parents. Thank you Ron for this beautiful video.

[@mandyfinuk]

Oh wow. How tragic is this. I know how traumatic this must have been for everyone involved. We have lost an 8 year old 5 years ago today. It's something you never really get over, we just learn to live with it 😥. Rest in peace little one 💔

[@kathycassell590]

I remember this story so well My mother told me so many times that my name came from her story I feel so touched that you told the story of this beautiful little child thank you

[@dawnrex3712]

Such a beautiful little girl. The last picture of her holding her little bunny rabbit, really grabbed my heart big time. Thank you for sharing Ron. 🥰

[@dianecrawford2598]

How heartbreaking. Poor little girl, rest in peace. Thank you, Ron, for another story and thank you to Justin for finding it. 🙏

[@karencarbone2603]

This one brought tears to my eyes and goosebumps!❤😢 I can,t even imagine losing a child that way. That mother must have lost her mind knowing your child is down there and you can,t help!

[@TheScarlett618]

Poor baby ! She must have been so scared !And to think..they 'almost' rescued her. That is just heart-breaking !

[@Wendeajo]

What a heart wrenching story. Thank you for including the original film coverage - how did you ever find it?! It's my hope this story is shared to help prevent any future disasters such as this. And I would add: Parents - WATCH YOUR CHILDREN.

[@worldsokayestflightattendant]

God, that breaks my heart. Thats some straight up heartbreak. Christ.

[@barbaramai7610]

Yes, I remember. I was not quite nine years old at the time, but do remember listening to all of the radio broadcasting with my family. And, I remember Dad explaining the idea of the parallel shaft to my sister and I. At the time, I imagined what it would be like if that had happened to me and it scared me to death!

[@peteacher52]

Presented in good taste, with the full impact of the horrible event achieved without faux-drama and silly music. Very well done. New Zealand has had its share of tragedies around abandoned gold mine shafts, some vertical, but all known ones have been capped. It is the unknowns that are occasionally discovered in ways most unfortunate.

[@SherryBowie-j4m]

Instant tears. Bless her sweet little heart. Such a horrific, heartbreaking tragedy. May she rest in heavenly peace.😢

[@sandyschannel6917]

My God. Thank you for bringing these stories to light, what you do on the channel is invaluable

[@AuroraRose_Andromeda]

Thank you Ron for bringing her story to the surface. She reminds me of a little girl named Jessica back in the late 80's I think, that also fell down a well shaft, and thankfully survived. They did a similar rescue by go into the side of the shaft she was wedged in. Her foot had been pressed to her head which they feel saved her from going further down. Kathryn will never be forgotten.

[@pamelapoulos5019]

May Kathy's memory be eternal 🙏🏼 Thanks for remembering her sweet little soul, Mr. Ron. God bless you ❤

[@Wolfietherrat]

I live in Maryland. Was walking in the woods with my kids. Found a well, uncovered. So dangerous, so glad I was there to keep them away.

[@Wolfietherrat]

These wells can be found where ever there used to be a home. You just have to think, was there a home here once? Kids don’t think like that. So dangerous.

[@maggiestrasser9815]

Waving hello from SAN MARCOS, California! I first learned of Kathryn as Polly Phelps in the Radio Days movie.

This story brought tears to my eyes, so sad. Such a sweet young child❤ the music at the end was so fitting and really brought this story home even more.❤ Thank you Ron

[@janebotkins5202]

I was born three days after they found little Kathy. I remember years later, my mother telling me about that. She said everyone in America was glued to the news praying and hoping. And everyone was mourning When they found her.

[@sandysue202]

I'm sorry...I just couldnt watch this one. I am 73 but have always had a fear of falling into an old well. As you started to tell her story, I just had to turn this one off. I feel so bad for this little girl and her family.

Another heartbreaking story. Poor little Kathy didn't have a chance. Hopefully, most of these dangerous wells and mines have been seal and reinforced with concrete by now. May this precious baby rest in peace.

This is too heartbreaking. Absolutely gut wrenching.

[@juliepurcell83]

This reminds me of the Jessica Mcclure I think it was bit different endings, how many stories are going to be heard about before things are done to stop these precious children falling down shafts, may this beautiful little angel is resting in peace & flying high with with angels

Poor baby. As a child we had a hole like that in our backyard and I believe it was a water hole but my mom contacted the city and they came out and put a cover over it.

The baby jessica in the well I was 4 years old, all I remember about that was thinking it was my Cousin Jessica, she was the only Jessic I knew and At that age I didnt realize more than one kid would have the same name. Apparently my parents coulnt convince me otherwise until my dad called His brother and Jessica spoke to me.

Most stories come from viewers' suggestions. I am VERY picky tho.

[@MarikaStål-q7g]

@@FacesoftheForgotten that is great, I am grateful that you are doing these. I just want to share a little about my paternal grandmother Irma. She was sick almost all her life. Her lungs were brittle. She had a lot of pneumonia when she grew up. Managed to find my grandfather Harald and they had two boys. While my grandfather was working both on their farm and as a mechanic she raised the kids and took care of the animals. Dont know exactly what year, but she got another lung infection wich lead to another pneumonia that nearly killed her. But she survived. Only to contract TBC and had to stay åt a sanatorium. How she lived thru that and got to go home is just miracuolus. By that time her lungs were very very damaged and when she AGAIN got an infection they realized that she had cancer. At the end of her life she was so weak she couldnt even get out of bed. It must have been a relief för her when she passed away åt 56 years of age. OH! My maternal grandmother Lydia was born 1919. She met my grandfather Manfred when they were building a road passning by the tiny village she lived in. They were very very poor in the beginning. But grandfather saved money so they could move and build a house 15 km from a little town. There they got marriedcand had 5 children. It was t always easy för them. Manfred was an alcoholic and a gambler, spending on pay day.. But when the fifth child, my mother came a long, he quit drinking. Them two raised 3 boys and 2 girls, one of wich would grow up and become the vice president of the EU. She was also the swedish minister of foreign affärs, almost became our stadsminister (like president I guess) but she didnt want that possision. And when she åt first started in our swedish goverment she was the youngest women ever to do that. Granpa Manfred passed in 1994. But Lydia lived all the way and was about to turn 90 when she passed...
