Where is Doc Willis? - - - DEAD!

[@diannewilliams4501]

He was a legend in his own mind!

[@Roger-vz7ol]

🤣🤣🤣

[@smctyre7235]

Nothing like making a BIG final statement with your headstone - this takes the cake! Thanks for sharing this with us, Ron.

[@lillypad9960]

The doc knew what he was doing. All these decades later and people are still talking about "doc." You too were drawn to it. Had the relatives inherited, everything would be dust in the wind by now. This monument will be around and noticed for a long time. Clever man. Thanks, Ron. Blessings from Michigan.

[@MF9000]

Just one big middle finger to the townspeople.

[@m.e.c.1007]

Too right on that! 😂

[@redrooster1908]

Haha He didn't live to enjoy it tho

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

Right? 😀

[@tobyresch4189]

That's what I was thinking!

[@laurab1089]

Beautiful day for a cemetery stroll..(but those bugs! 😮) Couple of nice zinc monuments.. The one for Elmore child is so unusual.. I like that just about any old cemetery you visit has the cedar trees in the older sections. Its very curious that the graves around the Willis monument were in a circle.. There has to be a story as to why..🤔

[@frankbeach]

Oh cool, I know where this is! I live in a town called Rockville not too terribly far from there. We have a cool little cemetery here that I think you'd like to check out. The Coffin family grave in particular is really interesting. (Yes, the family's name is Coffin.) There's all sorts of cool graves in there tbh. It would be worth a visit. Edit- the grave most people tell stories about is one for 2 sisters that drowned. People say its extremely haunted. Honestly I think the whole cemetery is, because twice when I've gone to take pictures, my camera has acted really weird, among other technological issues.

[@kimholch1006]

That sounds like a cemetary I would like to visit.

[@KennethByrd-yb3cu]

I'm down the road from you too...I'm in Greencastle.

[@laurab1089]

I have Coffin family members in my ancestry and Starbuck..

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

I did a Halloween story near there, you know the murder that happened there!!!! You must

[@KennethByrd-yb3cu]

@@FacesoftheForgotten which one? There's Martha Payne murder...which happened across the street from the JR.High school...then there's one between Greencastle and Cloverdale on 231...and did you realize that the woman who was beheaded at the Bobby Mackeys place, down in Kentucky, is buried in Forest hill cemetery here in Greencastle...former sheriff Steve Fienwick is a historic when it comes to anything about Greencastle or Putnam County itself...he still with the Putnam County sheriff's department...he does court house duty mostly these days...I'm sure if you should contact him, he can fill your ears full...

[@GTLakeMate]

If you get a chance Ron, and if you get to Rochester NY. Try to do a piece on Francis Tumbelty. He was also a snake oil salesman/ Indian medicinal doctor and a suspect in the Jack the Ripper murders. With your style of delivering subjects, I’m sure it would be awesome.

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

Will do! Thx

[@marciawylam89]

Fun story! I'm an older lady, and my first reaction to the monument was he must have had a small member. If you know what I mean!

[@Ancientreapers]

I was going to go there too besides the ego. 😆 (Oh looks like youtube deleted my other comment.)

[@kimholch1006]

Lol

[@shari5982]

I was thinking the same thing.😂

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

Exactly!!

[@denisedunne9538]

Bet he had really BIG wheels on his wagon

[@StevenJeNova]

Some people feel like they just never fit in, 'cos society won't conform. To them. RIP.

[@donc7354]

Thank you for this oddball adventure. We all appreciate all the work that goes into these unknown stories.

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

Thanks Don! This was a weird one.

[@danielcain-og5gs]

From all of the stones that say Elmore there, it's a wonder the town isn't named that.

[@jessebriee3918]

It seems Dr. Willis didn't want to be missed. He wanted to be the example. Thank you for sharing this with us. Be safe on your travels.

[@jeriforbes8747]

Hi,from Elma Washington. Ocean shores about 40 miles from us.Great video, thanks 😊

[@johno30197]

Thank's for sharing ron...

[@patrinaseay433]

Dr. Kevorkian 😂

[@mombradshaw5528]

I hope that you never ever stop your videos. These videos are my comfort. I love history and will never tire of hearing about people's lives and what they accomplished ect. or how they passed. That's why cemetery's are so magical for me..all those memories and hopefully, well-lived lives, having prepared for the next real life.

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

thanks for this wonderful note. it inspires me.

[@leslieknapp8985]

Wow, extravagant. Too bad he left with such resentments. Beautiful resting place indeed! Thanks Ron 👍

[@theeweemo]

Love the title of this one Ron.

[@redrooster1908]

That would be nearly $105K in today's dollars... Doc had a large estate of money!

[@davidroberts5577]

Oh, definitely worth watching Ron, safe travels.🕊️🙂

[@Lorriann63]

I got a big kick out of this story. Takes a lot of arrogance to have this huge obelisk in a small town where he didn't like anyone. The manifesto tells you a lot. The fact that he even had a manifesto tells you a lot. Thanks for sharing this, Ron. Really enjoyable.

[@Tabapugh52]

I hope you get to visit some of the historical graveyards over here in England, UK, Ron! 🤗

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

I hope to get there soon!!

[@MaryHouse-i7k]

Rip Doc Willis 🙏🙏.... thanks Ron

[@evakiss2562]

Whou! That obelisk is something else! This story is weirdly funny…he didn’t liked people in life just like in death…sitting in a top of a “hill” alone! Not allowing anyone close to him!😅

[@dawnprochilo8084]

Hi Ron, thanks for sharing this story. I really enjoyed it. He had quite the attitude when he got to town. He alienated himself from everyone. Poor guy, if he lived longer who knows what he might have come up with. Take care Ron. Looking forward to your next one.

[@helenhernandez5604]

HI Ron!! Great 2 see u🥰💜👍

[@Imagams]

Hi Ron thanks for the stories

[@czechmate6916]

All of your stories are worth watching Ron. This one was a bit odd like you said but that’s what makes them interesting. I haven’t heard about this one before. I haven’t been feeling well the last few weeks and I need to watch your previous two videos. I haven’t even been watching anything on YT either. Hopefully I’ll be better soon and watch your last two videos maybe tomorrow. Take care and stay safe my friend. 💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇨🇱🇨🇱🙏✝️

[@Xtro-1098]

Always throwing up these great story ron.. thanks for that

[@marierklassen7985]

That is a different man . Some people are wise and some are otherwise. Have a good day travel safely from Marie in Northern British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

I like that saying!!!

[@peterredfern1174]

He might’ve thought he was superior to all the people but in heaven he would bow before the almighty,great but humorous story Ron,thank you,safe travels,🙏🙏👋👋👍👍🇦🇺

[@phoenixjnyc]

Good afternoon. Thank you for sharing his story

[@lizzierankin-fe9kj]

Now that's one heck of a headstone 🪦!!! The place is very beautiful. Thanks for showing us this Ron

[@shereemcclelland2186]

You are amazing Ron, great viewers help you out. Watching from Australia 🇦🇺👍

[@monikameza4107]

Thanks Ron for this amazing story.

[@helenhernandez5604]

Thanks Ron yeah! Very interesting 👍💜🥰

[@tobyresch4189]

As the old saying goes, it takes all kind of people to make the world go 'round. I'm thinking somebody or a group of locals had to anger him to make him feel the way that he did towards the community.

[@SweetPeaSweetPete]

What a horrible narcissist. Thank you for sharing, Ron. My cousin and I absolutely LOVE your videos. 🥰

[@theearthauger]

Hi Ron and everyone. That was awesome. I really enjoyed it. Thank you, Ron, for another great walk about in Indiana. God bless and stay safe. 🇺🇲

[@cazkellie]

Heyyy Ron been watching your channel from the start ❤️ appreciate the video❤

[@Sparkling-Cyanide]

That camera you’re using is amazing! Everything looks so clear, right down to the tiniest details.

It is a quirky story. Thanks for the walk, Ron. I love the obisck

Thanks for sharing Ron

[@davidwoodham1307]

Thanks ron i hope you have a safe trip mate

[@kenrhoades2602]

"Yes" liked it Ron, Mr Willis was certainly a strange man but he made me smile.

[@CaroleLeamer735]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS MR RON ❤

[@carriehoy6571]

SO GLAD YOU MADE IT! RON, YOU ARE SO COOL.😊❤

[@jolandajolanda8572]

Thnx. again for story about this man Ron. I saw that there was a hurricane in the States. We have a lot of wind and rain here in the Netherlands to. More than we use have. Heavy😮 🌷🇳🇱🌷🇳🇱🌷🇳🇱🌷🇳🇱🌷

[@tillyg8858]

Yes, it is an odd story. I guess he was not a very happy man. Thank you for sharing.😊

[@arthurquinn9989]

Another story we enjoyed. Thank you Ron.

[@MegaYangman]

The "Willis Tower!"

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

Right!!

[@shirleyashanti3031]

Interesting tale. If I passed that, I would have thought it was a military or family plot monument. I guess in the end this was a way to stand up for himself. Npi. Thanks for this by a great storyteller.

[@jessicaboisvert3138]

😊Thanks for sharing these Ron,I enjoy watching and learning about them too

[@saratipsword4389]

I love your stories. They are Great 👍.

[@micahkaplan9303]

He was a music critic amongst other things

[@memphisleftovers]

Interesting story, his monument reminds me of the Washington monument.

[@jeffgrier8488]

Thanks for bringing us along on this one Ron!

[@theresalaux5655]

What a negative Nelly. Isnt it awful that he spent his life being so mean and cantankerous! I shake my head. Hi Ron !

[@Roger-vz7ol]

I just love your videos Ron. You never dissappoint me. You are a great guy. 💙

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

thanks Roger!

[@ohmeowzer1]

Great story..loved this ❤

[@krackerjack57]

I lived in Columbus, Indiana for a little over 20 years. About 35 miles or so south of Indianapolis. That monument is way out of hand. You can tell by that, he was stuck on himself.

[@Hobbitma]

Love your videos and stories!!

[@carmenmarrero6129]

Hl Ron. God bless You and Your family always. Love this chanel. I'm washing Your program from Springfield Massachusetts.

[@d.g.n9392]

[@karencarbone2603]

Thanks for sharing this video Ron. Yes, Doc Willis did get the attention he wanted in the end for sure. That is one huge monument!❤😊

Thank you. Very interesting how some people are a little out there. God bless.

I loved it. You made it really great.

[@LidaDuplessis-g6s]

Hi ron thanks for share this story with us awesome place i smile it is a very nice story rip mister good guy😂😂

[@StaceyJohnson-ov7cq]

Always worth watching❤

[@dsinavich5141]

Hi Ron...great story as always...nice cemetery.quite the headstone ..almost up to the sky......I collect pig ornaments and I said my apatphf would be. I'll be back when pigs fly...my family was horrified....I will have to rethink that one. ... LoL..... Deborah 🇨🇦

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

Love it 😃

[@joehann699]

I loved the story as always. But, i couldn't help but notice. If you stand at any of the headstones circling Doc Willis', you'd stand with your back to his headstone.

[@rhondatemple-lf1bn]

Great video, as always! ❤🎉

[@Graveyardshiftaus]

I would stop off that cemetery to see who that tall monument was for. Was an interesting story too

[@marthacassidy7182]

My daddy was born in Wayne town, IN in 1915

[@AM-yt6oz]

Great story

[@ethelmaaleman2104]

Funny love the video. Thanks Ron you made me laugh. Thanks a million. Enjoy and be safe.

[@travelinurselaura]

His monument was a piece of work, just like him!😂 Seriously, how sad and scary to enter eternity with such pride, contempt, and no true legacy. “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy..., but treasures in heaven which last forever."

[@ytr8989]

Interesting story on Doc Willis 👍

[@flocosta]

Wow, this man was way too concerned about nothing all the time. He sound's like the original Doctor Kevorkian. You made me laugh when you said he took his own advice 😂 That monument is incredible. He sure thought a lot of himself when in reality he sounded like he was made up of a whole bunch of nothing. Either way, may he RIP ❤ 💐

[@gigicostlow4414]

Talk about ego. That monument is almost comical sitting there among normal monuments. Puzzling why the other graves are in a circle around it. Maybe that was part of his instructions or maybe he bought that piece of land? It's no telling. Thanks Ron for sharing this story.

[@monicamorar8047]

❤ grazie mr. Ron ❤🌹

[@karenshepler7128]

Sure is big and a bold statement 😮😮😮😮

[@annettelundeby4213]

Ron I am laughing with you. The monument is kinda out of place. But I sure enjoyed it. Thanks , I always look forward to your great “Faces of the Forgotten “.

[@redrooster1908]

Ron!!! Surprised me 😮

[@lorrainedalgleish7616]

Doc wanted everyone to take Pansy Compound😅 He was either very 21st century for the 19th century or Pansy didn't have the same connotation in the USA as it did in the UK.

[@sherrybethke5540]

Loved it!

[@seekerofthetruth6257]

Very interesting story. My opinion there are what people call trigger words I believe that's one, so some say they unlifed themselves or something to that effect. Rest in peace Dr. Willis & everyone in the arms of our Lord. Stay safe Sir & everyone sending virtual hugs to you all 💝.

[@GinaAnderson254]

Indeed Willis was odd.. Hope he made it to heaven with that anger and resentment he was harboring when he took his life. On a lighter note.. the cloud formation looks really nice.

[@jeanettealbertson2712]

I'm from Indiana but never heard of him
