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.

The worst fire in WI happened on the night of Oct. 8-9, 1871, this fire destroyed in two hours a swath of forest 10 miles wide and 40 miles long and obliterated the towns of Peshtigo and Brussels, killing about 1,500 people. It happened the same day as the Great Chicago Fire and killed more people but you never hear about it.
it has been on my list, thx
You shouldn't have to put up with nasty comments. You have a great channel here, and we all respect "your living room" Ron 😂 This cemetery is very nice. You did a great job Ron. Thank you, you're appreciated!
Thank you so much❤ Such a kind Comment.Ron and me,And Ashley we care.
I appreciate that
You need to stop in Kansas near the Santa Fe Trail, where buffalo soldiers were buried and later moved to Ft Leavenworth. So much history in that area. It is made into a park area along the river. An old soldier camp was there and fort area where many pioneers stopped. Southeast of Little River, KS.
Hi Ron I miss your live show but it's is a great story I love history and you are my best stories teller. So far you are the greatest ❤️ ron
Watching the replay since I missed the live, absolutely love that you're leaving the information sheet at the greaves!
I'm watching replay too
Ooops my bad... So sorry I missed the live! Hello from 107 degree Temple Texas. To be truthful I was outdoors doing a rain dance and uttering prayers for rain and I missed you.
We're in real trouble here, and today is the first day we've even come close to rain since June. Our lake (Belton) is largely dried up.
I'm loving the stories with the documentation and the fact you leave it for others to read. That is such a wonderful thing to do.
You're the best Ron. Safe travels my friend. I was born in Arizona and grew up in New Mexico, so I know what a lovely winter awaits you there! Keep up the good work, and we'll all be here looking over your shoulder!
Every time you do these I'm so interested in all the history! A lot of times I go and do my own research to read about these events after I listen to your stories! I ❤your channel! Sorry I missed the live 😊
So excited about this Halloween 🎃 can't wait! Looking forward to seeing what you have prepaid for us to watch!
I love Halloween anyway, have loved all the fun and mystery since I was a kid and the way Ron treats it just brings it all back for me ! Goodbye merciless summer heat, fall cannot come soon enough!!! 🎃🎃🎃
Very nice video Ron.I have never heard of this fire,let alone the devastating results of it.
Hi Ron, I love going for walks with you everyday, you are the best true story teller and so respectful of the living and the people who have unfortunately passed...I look forward to walking with you for a lot longer .

My family had property around Phillips when I was growing up. Beautiful country, good fishing. Haven't been back since I moved to Idaho 20 yrs ago. Love your channel!!
Sorry I missed your Sunday walk. I had to go to the pharmacy, and Lord it is hot in San Antonio, Texas! My car said 107 degrees! I'm glad to be back in the air conditioning and saw your show in comfort! Take care of yourself Ron. I'll be watching your premiere tonight at 8.
Here Houston today felt like 110, couldn't breathe with this awful heat. Stay cool.
I live in San Antonio Texas to it to 🔥🥵
Good to see you, Ron! So excited to watch this video and tonight’s!
Find Joe Shives grave
It’s in that cemetery. I collect brass railroad switch keys. I got one with his name hand stamped into it. Key-1900-1909-era
I looked him up
Interesting (to me) history.
His key hangs framed in my living room today.

Love your lives, and congratulations on 500,000 subscribers job well done
Thanks so much!!
Ron, you being in Wisconsin reminds me of this amazing book I have that is right up your alley--it's called "Wisconsin Death Trip", by Michael Lesy. He's a historian who found all these newspaper articles on death, insanity, murders and suicide (so many caused by mental illness) in the 1800's. I don't know how I came across it years ago. In the introduction by Warren Susman, he says, "These accounts permitted people to share their misery by turning strangers into relatives. They attributed and articulated the motives of the most secret and private undertakings, the act of suicide, and so permitted desperate people to be solaced by others' despair." And the pictures are incredible. They're like the ones you find for us when you do history on the people in the graves. It's one of the most extraordinary books I've ever found.
I actually had bought it a couple of years ago and was disappointed in it. thanks, appreciate it, many others like it I guess. cool!! 😃👍
@@FacesoftheForgotten Oh good deal! I should’ve known you’d know about it already! You’re way ahead of me🥰 Disregard the email I just se t that said the same thing-I’d typed it in the comment and then figured it was more email appropriate. So just delete it! See you at your 8pm Sunday show!
Book: "Stalag Wisconsin" is very interesting. Tells of WW2 German prisoners of war around Wisconsin towns. The prisoners never tried to escape. They loved it here, were fed well, treated quite well and many stayed after the war. The fences kept angry locals away from the captured soldiers.
Love these Sunday shows.
Hi Ron, regarding Las Vegas NM there was an incident that happened there. Known as the Las Vegas shootout at the Variety Hall Saloon, which happened there in January of 1880. The main character was a guy named Dave Mather. This shootout finally caused the people to stand up and form a vigilance committee. Hope you do the story. You are a great story teller, thanks for all u do!
Thanks you know the Dave Mather story, and lots of other things happening there but when I’m after is the grave of somebody involved that is buried there. That’s the challenge.
Thx 👍👍👍
I love the idea of leaving the info at the graves.
You deserve that 500k well done keep it up ❤❤ love you story telling
Hi Ron I am Sandra from South Africa love your show thank you
Great live ron and beautiful cemetery.... good to see you Ron ❤😊..... Mary from Arkansas ❤
Enjoyed walk and stories of Wisconsin north woods cemetery & the now not forgotten❤
You have such a gift for telling stories. Not only do you have a great speaking voice but a knack for grabbing and holding people's attention. Thank you.
I'm researching my ancestry right now and I use Find A Grave a lot to verify the name because I don't want to pay yet. I save the pictures. Maybe I'll write a book. I've gone back to the 1500's on my mom's side and 1600's on my dad's side.
We're excited to see what you have ready for Halloween, Ron! Your videos are always exceptional.
Hey buddy keep safe an cool out there
what about 119 degrees for days on end in Arizona? your electric/air conditioning bills will be astronomical! fun walking thru cemeteries in deadly heat? yikes.
well, good news for me is I will come there every year in October/November. this year I will be there early with my move in trailer, early, 2 weeks, hope it cools down to 90's!!
113° here today in AZ! Thank God we have solar, or our electric bill would awful!
Why are you never going back to Illinois? Sounds like more than the weather.
yes, I need a change, its been 60 years there!!
@FacesoftheForgotten I understand. My dad was born and raised in Berwyn. Left Illinois in 1999 and never looked back. Sometimes this Florida heat gets to me, but I will take this over snow any day.
That was a good video Scott. I do enjoy Gordon's music. I didn't know he passed.
Interesting ❤ Hopefully you will do a video on the Concrete Park in Phillips, Fred Smith was amazing, his story is touching
I love watching your shows, they are so relaxing and I love hearing about the older days. Friendly family site, very important.
Excited for your Halloween episodes. Always such good ones you come up with .
Enjoy your last couple weeks on this side of the States. I live in Michigan, outside of Detroit.
I couldn't imagine moving to Arizona so far from my 7 grandchildren. I am a Nana to 2 yr old TWIN GRANDDAUGHTERS I take care of during the week ...these babies will keep me in Michigan forever
Our cemetery is a small one in Tarleton ohio it has some old ones like checking out heard stones I live walking in our forest cemetery I was behind my house and I was never afraid we sled riding in winter and walk and bike ride in summer
Sorry I missed the live! Thank you Ron, for everything you do!
Rinhart Herman Stake was born in Wisconsin. His draft card lists his address in Fort Pierre, South Dakota in 1918. The 351st Infantry was part of the 88th Division which was formed at Camp Dodge, Iowa (north side of Des Moines). He shipped out to France on August 15 1918 with elements of the 88th Div. Probably arrived in France 10 days later which was pretty common travel time.
I can't find any docs connected to his death which is normal from my previous researching of a great uncle of mine. However, his death date coincides with the huge offensive of the Muese-Argonne. This was to be the last big battle to convince the Germans to surrender.
His remains were returned to the US in 1921.**
**Long story short...Congress was not going to bring any US dead back to the US. But a hue and cry brought a LOT of political pressure and shame to the politicians. So Congress decided to give the families the option of bringing back the deceased or leaving them in military cemeteries in France.
I have not found any document cache that lists soldiers cause of death. I do know the US military lost more men to the Spanish Flu than killed in action. In 200 days of actual combat the US lost 220,000 men dead. Pulling from memory flu took down 51/52%. Many soldiers never saw combat because of the flu.
Thank you for sharing
RON I WATCT YOU AND SCOTT ON TAPE YOU 2 ARE AWSOME WITH THE STORIES AND THE SENSATIVITY YOU HANDLE THEM WITH.
I love Scott on Tape. I also like Steve on The Graveyard Channel.
They used to have wakes in homes in the 1800's and early 1900's. A lot of old farm houses had two entrances in the house near the livingroom; thinking it was a way to ease traffic during such occasions.
I wonder what the two doors were for.
Sometimes they were called Coffin Doors at the foot of stairs,the parlor
Live in South Carolina have fun with your son buddy
Sorry to have missed the live stream. That's what I get for taking a "short" nap. 😴🛌
Hinkley, Minnesota fire. unbelievable. So many in mass grave. Book written by a relative of a survivor.
"Fire Storm." 1894
I'm in Tasmania, Australia and we're coming out of winter now in spring...I love hearing the birds tweeting very early on these mornings. But atm we're only 15°C...still a bit chilly.❤
My home state of Rhode Island. Wish I could go. Lived in Bristol, Rhode Island since I I was born Octobern 1946. Moved in 1989. I believe Anthony Quin is buried there.
FYI
SAN ANTONIO - San Antonio broke an all-time record on Sunday for the total number of days in triple-digit heat in a single year.
The new record of 60 days breaks the previous record of 59 from back in 2009. This summer has been way too hot for sure.
I lived in Las Vegas New Mexico. It was a horrible place for three little blond haired girls. We were there in the seventys. In fact we were let out of school one day to go down to the plaza to be the crowed when Convoy was being filmed. I was on one of the cannons. I remember the filming and the school band playing as the truckes drove around us. The police were corrupt back then and im sure it hasnt changed. We were lucky to have survived living there. I could have been murdered twice in two days and the police did nothing. It truly haunts me to this day. I will never regret moving home to New York when i did. The guy that attacked my family later turned into a sereal killer. We were at the very beginning of his criminal life. I have complex PTSD over my childhood this only being part of my horrible childhood. People tell me i should write a book about it but i could never traumatize others by reading about what i have survived. All i care about is having done my very best to raise my daughter completely differently than my parents. I broke the cycle.
If you want a good one in Minnesota. William Applegate. My great grandfather. From New York. Served in the civil war. He was captured and held in Libby prisoner camp for two years.
When he was released returned home to find his wife remarried.
He left there and moved to Minnesota. There is much more.
Hello!!! Good to enjoy your video. Cemeteries always full of stories, sad mainly but really interesting.
Hi from Poowong Australia 🇦🇺
Sad people cant keep their nasty comments to themsleves. Im from new zealand and love your channell.
Have you looked at the information about David Sprong? He was one of my ancestors. I did send you his story.
Hello Mr. Ron!! Good evening! It's been a while. Work has consumed a lot of my time. Since my husband's death I have to work more since I'm the only provider. Can't wait to view your exciting videos that I have missed. Stay safe.
Good point on unmarked graves. I found this out researching genealogy on my Norwegian branch who homesteaded Dakota Territory in 1870. My Great Great grandparents lost 3 little girls in one week. GGgrandpa dug their graves 100 feet from the house. They were not marked.
The country Lutheran church they helped found in 1873 had a small graveyard. The church was moved several miles in the 1890s. The marked graves were moved to the new location. However there was a number of unmarked graves which were left as their spots were never marked or mapped and were not visible at the time of the move.
But the story gets more complicated. My GGgrandparents have a tall marker in the cemetery at another Lutheran church nearby but they didn't have connection to it (far as I can find). The tall marker has the names of the GGgrandparents, a daughter who died a few years before the 3 little ones and the 3.
So I have no idea if the 3 little girls were removed from the homestead or if they were left. Plus I have no info on the 1st girl that died, where/when/how and buried or reburied etc etc. Things were not documented very well during the homesteading era. What little I know I gleaned from a handful of local newspapers that survived since 1870.
So some of the issues you talk about I can relate to.
Respect what you do greetings from the netherlands Holland
Woodlawn cemetery in Las Vegas is on the National registry of historic places
Lovely cemetery Ron, and you weave great stories making these people real, their lives and tragedies. Could not find anything on Rinehart H Stake, but am going to keep digging. Interestingly, the surname Rinehart 'popped up' as Pioneers. Thank you.
My Family were German loggers who lived in Philips and the stories of the horrid fire lasted till my mom’s generation . You might see some of my Frank family members buried out there and I would love to go and look around the town / graveyard . Thanks for the video .
Florida will be cooler, but not cold in October. 97 today in Georgia.
We have a Michael Barry building at our hospital In Janesville, WI, I wonder if its
named after the gentleman in your video
I know about a story. In hour town around 1812 or something like that when the winter never stopped and there was Ice in july. A guy in our town thought the end of the world was coming so he shot his wife 7 children and himself. The grave is way out in the woods.
Very excited about the Halloween ones ❤
I'm at work doing security but love your videos!!!
Alberta Canada is pretty nice too. Im pretty proud of my province 😁
My uncle was a ball turret gunner in a B-17 during WW2.
I'm looking forward to your Halloween episode also!! You're the best Ron!!
The Father/ Husband to the Bryden children and their mother who drowned during the fire... was he not buried with his family eventually & the stone not marked. Or did he perhaps remarry &/or move & get buried elsewhere?
hmmm, good question
Great channel, love the history of all these places.
Jo from Australia
I want to know what happened in Kansas with abolitionist John Brown, bleeding Kansas
I just love what you're doing with adding the pictures and whatever info you have to the persons grave. It's so special. I wish I could come to your event but it's too far away for me. Maybe next time. This is a very pretty cemetery. Sorry I missed your live. It's been a hectic week, but I'll always be around. Take care
Really interesting to see that hollowen tree. It is a dead tree. Seems too old. Thanks for your video
Hi Ron, I love your videos; so much history on these videos you make and that was my favorite subject when I was in school
An ancestor of mine was a pioneer came from uk to Pennsylvania in 1725
How did I not know this? My family had a place in Hayward for decades!

What a great idea to place a photo and information of the person buried there. Makes them seem more real to us and others who pass by.
Another great video, as always!
winter cant come soon enough to us in Texas it is still triple digits. Cant even enjoy the pool its so hot
Thanks for including footage of Rudolph Ehmke's grave and the grave of his wife Verona (Marinko) Ehmke (43:10). My great uncle and aunt.

Love when you tell stories.
Ron, it wouldn't hurt to have some books to sell. That's not bragging.
If I bring any, it will be to give away free. thanks 😃
I thought of an idea for you. I love your stories. I want to know when you will make more videos?
I make them constantly. I have 30 more episodes produced but not yet released. stay tuned!
No buffering on my phone
Hey Ron 👋 Slowly, but surely catching up with you. I love you leaving that information on the graves. I've seen it done before. People usually put them in sleeves and prop them up some how. A stick? Stakes? Not sure how! Cool idea 💡 Have fun fishing 🎣 🐟 🐠 with Danny. 😃
👏✊👏👏👏👏FOR STACEY 👏👏👏
hi Ron love your stories.
Great live walk again Ron.
