Pinal City Ruins
Silver was discovered resulting in a boom town of about two thousand residents at the foot of Picket Post Mountain by 1878. When the Silver King Mine played out, Pinal City went into steep decline. The post office closed on November 28, 1891, and the town was deserted shortly thereafter.
Pinal Burial Grounds / Historic Cemetery
Celia Ann "Mattie" Blaylock, once Wyatt Earp's common law wife lived in Pinal City. She died from an alcohol and laudanum overdose.

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.

Do you know any stories about the Santan mountains. Outside of Phoenix the Chandler, Queen Creek area.
Be a good time to have a detector
Awesome thanks for that info 😮🎉😮
I absolutely love how you focused on that barrel cactus bloom showing its beautiful face through the rusted remains of the past. Thank you for the tour and the history.
Beautiful wasn’t it
How a Mean 'ol Cactus can have such a BEAUTIFUL Flower,🏵🌵🌻
I love that you as well as I call flower blooms faces.😊
I know this is a side point of Ron's story but looking at those deep ruts I can't help thinking about how the horses must have labored over such a great task! I grew up on westerns and loved them as a child but as an adult re-watching the same movies I observed how badly many of the horses were treated and how they must have suffered. Especially in movies involving wars and battles. These beautiful creatures were never paid or thanked for their contributions. I'm sorry for bemoaning the issue but the desert always reminds me of horses and westerns. P.S. People please treat horses and all animals with the dignity they deserve. P.S.S. Great story Ron! But then all of your stories are! Love your channel! 🐎🐎🌵🌵🌝🌝😸😸🐶🐶🌵🌵🦊🦊🐺🐺💥💥💖💖🐎🐎🌺🌺💐💐💥💥🌻🌻🐎🐎🌵🌵🤠🤠
They used ox's mule even camel to pull the sliver wagons also well the Camel where for the calvery
Not to mention water holes in Arizona were far and few
Mules were used until 1889 when stamp mill was moved then steam narrow gauge locomotive took over I live very near silver king mine it is still in operation today but it produces copper
@@thomasreid3707 that's in Nevada isn't it
Amen to that, you're absolutely right ! 🌻🦋🌸
I like that pretty little pink cactus. It’s so sad about this little lady, it seems like she was looking for something to make her happy and in the end she never found that happiness. Thanks so much Ron for another great chapter in history. Love your videos ❤
I can relate I've been searching my entire life for a woman who knows what she wants, not into playing head games with someone. It's discouraging
I loved that pink cactus also. Such beauty in a desolate place!
My people were tortured and killed. i live all around AZ, been to all these places.there is a lot of history in Globe, Miami, Superior, you can hear lots of stories from each of these old ghost towns .thank you, great stories.
Hmmm how about that so were mine.
When you say history:this is one fascinating one.
Holy oil in the vial
Ron, not only do you tell us stories of our ancestors, but you inspire members of our FOTF family to recall and post their memories of things that we may have never learned otherwise. It's a win-win for all of us. Thank you so much. Blessings from Michigan.
It's really fascinating to me, and actually thrilling that those wagon tracks still exist and are so prominent. History is still alive there. From trekking across unknown territories, and many from other countries. We truly do stand on the shoulders of giants. They had it tough but they made it through. We are all proof of that. I just love your stories, Ron, thank you for all you do.
Great note, it is so true, you are right!!
@@FacesoftheForgotten fascinating
Wow, you find the coolest 😊 places to visit. Thanks 😅
Wow. What a story that I could never imagine if just passing by. As you moved around, "even the desert will bloom" kept repeating in my head. Sad that Mattie didn't leave a journal of highs and lows of her life. The cacti are beautiful. Thank you for this tale in the middle of nowhere.
Thank you for sharing this history. Times where different back in the Old West and it deserves to be remembered. RIP Maddie Earp!
Absolutely fascinating, Ron! I'll bet that visitors to this cemetery are rare, so thank you for visiting and shining a light on "Mattie". Most depictions of her are of a burdensome obstacle to Wyatt's happiness. I'm glad you showed us her humanity. R.I.P. Celia Blaylock.
Loved hearing about Maddie and all about her life. may she rest in peace, and also, the old wagon trails we're awesome .
I can honestly say that is THE most gorgeous flower I have ever seen
Ron, As a Native Arizonan, I appreciate this video. I can't express how much I appreciate the research you do on the "faces" you visit and the places you travel. Keep up the good work!
I love the landscape out there, so dramatic and wild looking. I can really see why so many people had a dream to explore...but it didnt work out for everyone. Very sad what happened to Mattie, there were many women i imagine that ended up that way. Limited choices, the addiction, and a broken heart did Mattie in. Im glad you remembered her and paid respects. RIP Mattie.💜
Great video Ron, those petrified wagon wheel tracks are just amazing. Lots of history in that area. I think the reason why her grave is unknown is because of grave robbers. Much like Doc Holliday. The Earp name is a legend in wild west history. I'd love to wonder around there.
Really interesting video. All I could think about was how I would love to go metal detecting here.
Be very, very careful walking through that brush in Arizona. There are poisoness snakes and such lurking about.
I love your historical stories about people who have passed on.
Indeed - I have run into many over the 30 years I have been coming here.
Too bad I missed you while I was in Surprise last week. I came in for my daughter's college graduation.
This man is absolutely amazing. You sir are a very kindhearted soul. 💞
So much history of a different kind of America. You can just imagine those carts getting hauled , men shouting at each other. Poor Maddie, to see the man she loved slowly go to the arms of another, perhaps the OD/s*****e was to help a broken heart. Brilliant Ron - thanks so much for bringing our history to life.
So very little is said about this poor soul .Thanks for high lighting her interesting life in a episode.
Beam me up Ron! I love the places you take us to. Just incredible.
I used to live about 45 miles from there! I have been to Cecelia's grave. From what I found out, she is buried where her marker is.But the marker you found and the one I found is different.
The Guzman family of Globe had a new one made to replace the one destroyed by vandals.
It's soo cool to see some of that survived from the
old west times. Wouldn't find that up here in the Northeast gotta love that dry desert air.
Those ruts are incredible! Thank goodness there is old history that has survived the years. So many things to see in AZ that aren’t in Chicago area.
HI RON, My family and I absolutely enjoy your videos. This was a good one, too.
I just wanted to address the question you asked about the iron rod you found sticking out of the ground. I think it was to mark a grave. Often tines, it was hard to find something to mark a grave. This could have been used as a head stone marker. Many times, they were left unmarked because they did not want the Naative Americans to fig them up for their scalps or jewelry they may have been barrier with.
I know a little about things like this as I volunteered at a museum of the midwest here in Nebraska.Wecare surrounded by so much history of the pioneers and Native Americans and soldiers of times gone by.
Keep up the great work.
HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU!
People in comments are saying that was a anchor - if a wagon got stuck they could wrap it around that and use it to pull the wagon out, like a with a pulley
Great history lesson and RIP Celia Ann "Mattie" Blaylock 💐 🌷 🌹 🌸 .
Ron, Frame: 5:35 is a floral depiction of my beloved wife and myself growing together side by side. She is a gentle flower and me that rough-looking spiked cactus. She was a well-to-do debutant while I'm from Chicago's rough and tumble Englewood neighborhood. We manage to get along quite well having been married for nearly 33 wonderful years.
Another great show, Ron. GOD bless and stay safe.
Great exploration Ron. I loved the little cactus flower coming up through a rusted piece of history. RIP Mattie you never knew how much you are known and remembered ❤
I guess I live in a little town called Las Vegas Nevada LOL this was a great old history Western lesson I loved it thank you. 🇺🇲☮️☺️
Yeah that was my destination on my war plane flight to Chicago, Las Vegas New Mexico, but we never made it - bailed out, airplane crashed.
You will hear about it an episode (maybe next week) on a car crash story, I was just actually am near Mount Baldy where we bailed out in parachutes in the Apache sacred White Mountains of Arizona.
So someday I will get to Las Vegas New Mexico!!!
I love that cacti you are standing by! it's a Cholla. I planted several in my yard when I lived in New Mexico!
Very interesting story R.I.P Mattie. Thanks Ron for this great story. God bless and stay safe 🌻
Hi Ron I am from the UK and I have learnt so much about America via your channel Scott on tape Carpetbagger and ATW and youtube in general. I have a new appreciation for the USA I never had before. So much fascinating history, places and characters. Fantastic thank you.😊❤
Thanks Ron for another interesting story. Sad that she died so young, You're a great narrator. Take care. Looking forward to your next video.
Just love the stuff you do,absolutely fascinating 👏 😊 love from the UK 🇬🇧
Fascinating! The wheel tracks were amazing! Thank you Ron!❤
Awesome! Thank you!
You bring history alive! These are podcasts I will watch over and over again.
The microphone your using is amazing. I love listening to your shoes in those rocks. Enjoyed the vid
Your videos are MUCH APPRECIATED RON 🙏🏻
Amazing video Ron i love the historical stories. Especially from the 1800s keep up the great work
0:42 I love old cemeteries. You rock taking us to them!!❤
Hey Ron! So excited to see this. My dad and brother and other family . Worked in the Superior Copper Mines til retirement. Family still live in Globe/Miami area. I was raised in Casa Grande/ Coolidge area.
Hello Loretta I was raised in Casa Grande also. We used to go through Superior and Globe on our way to Show Low to our cabin. I have lot of memories of Pinal County. I now live in Southern Illinois. I do love Ron's videos and adventures
Awesome. Saw the active copper mining in Superior, and of course Globe.
I had breakfast at Judy’s Cook House. Yummm!! Really good!! 🥞 🍳
@@maryraynor3043 yes! My grandparents lived in case grande. Lots of relatives in the cemetery there.
I sure miss the desert.
I'm in TN. Now. Love it too. Show low so beautiful
I enjoyed the story Ron. 😊 I love stories about anything old west. What a life Maddie had. Life wasn't easy way back then.
Love Arizona🥰 thanks Ron for sharing this fascinating story.
I hope she finally found peace ❤
Beautiful scenery. Thank you for taking us down the historic trail the wagons took. So amazing the rutts are there and turned to stone. I love the pink cactus flower and that rugged mountain in the distance. The cemetery seems so peaceful and quiet. Most people probably do not even know it is there. It is always so good to hear you tell us stories and history. Thank you Ron for bringing us along on your adventures.
And you can even see the ruts from google earth!!
@@FacesoftheForgotten Wow!!!
I love my state’s history. Great walk
Great video and story Ron...WOW My mind just goes to thinking like that childs grave, a shame no one knows who they are and any distant relatives. You can think and imagine all day..
Rest in peace.💐😔 Thank you so much for the video. I do appreciate it.🌻😔
Thank you!
I used to go to old cemeteries with my Dad.
There was a Indian one in Amicalola Falls area in Georgia.
Thank you for the awesome video.
Such rugged beauty. The people who settled there certainly were tough.
Thank you for sharing stories such as Mattie's. Years ago learned a bit about her watching Tombstone. Amazing seeing all there is out there.
Have been inspired by your videos to begin searching local graveyards. Have always had the common uneasiness about walking one. However yesterday, I visited the resting place of three Marshall teammates who sadly were on the infamous plane which crashed in 1970. The three had played together in high school before being recruited by Marshall.
Before boarding the plane their parents, having come down to Carolina to see them play, asked for the boys to ride back home with them. Not wanting to ask their coach due to the team losing the boys said no. Even years later to hear one of their fathers talk about it was hearrbreaking as he kept wishing they had insisted. Was able to pay respects and place flowers.
Thank you for all you do.
Watching the Replay, WOW! hello FOTF family! how are you all?
I could listen to you for hours👍
Thank you so much for visiting this, Ron. I live in Queen Creek and always wanted to visit the area and haven't.
Love Queen Creek, you’re closer than I am. Get down there! The cemetery is GPS’ed. and you don’t need four-wheel-drive, just drive in there slow
I luv the cactus all around. I've got 5. only small ones. Even 1 with pink flowers. It bloomed 2 years go. Hoping it will bloom this year or next year. I think there an amazing plant. Thanks again Ron. from 🇬🇧 an old cockney gal. Can't wait for the next video
Awesome story thank you Ron
I really enjoy your stories, and hearing the background of the people. Thanks Ron, and thanks to all the supporters that give him some really interesting people to honour.
Make sure to stay hydrated during your AZ excursions . Great video as always Ron.😊
Thank you, I always do, I’ve been doing it for 30 years in the desert - so I’m pretty familiar. There’s lots of other things to watch out for too, and prepare for. Especially the mini expeditions I’m going on
I was awestruck by the beautiful pink flower 🌺 growing out from under the tattered, rusted, who knows exactly how old piece of metal. Goes to show that life does find a way. There's also just something about the very old and the very new being together like that that I love 💖. Thank you for sharing.
Thank u for this video. Seems to me, a lonesome place to be buried. Wonderful history u told, amazing story.
Great story!! RIP Mattie Erp🌷
Wow fascinating history. Thank you for sharing this. RIP to Maddie 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Love the cactus and landscape ! 😊
Great story just have to say I'm 67 n had to look up what cenitaph was. Always learning
Love history thanks learned a lot and found it fascinating
Thanks for the excellent and interesting stories!!!
This was amazing video Ron and very interesting and love hearing things about ppl that lived along time ago and hope this lady rest in peace...I love history like this .. love hearing from Ron the story teller ....great job sir 👍💖🌻🌻
Boy Ron, all that scrap metal, bolts and tracks really brings you back to a time long ago. So interesting! What beautiful scenery. That grave was really secured good with those pipes. Lol. Great video Ron. A real trip into the past! Thanks for sharing!❤😊 Yes, my ex husband loved books about Wyatt Earp.
What a story very good And alot of info Thanks Ron,👍👍👍👍
Wow, this was fantastic!😃 The iron strap thing with the bolts, looks like it could've been springs from a wagon or cart🤔🙄 maybe. Anyway another fascinating history. Thank you❤🌏🌕🪐🙏🌟🐝🇦🇺😎🦋🌸🦉🏡🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Interesting, absolutely fascinating love history, Thanks Ron
Fascinating piece of history!! Thank you for all your hard work bringing these stories to us!! Love to listen to you!!
I loved the story Ron!! Very interesting too!!!😊😊😊😊😊
Hi Ron, so interesting to see. A real ghost area, one can just imagine the lives led here. Fascinating, thank you😃
Thank You for clarifying the “battle/ massacre” misunderstanding or misidentification. Your 100% correct, bad is bad, don’t try to justify it by calling it a “battle” when it was indeed a “massacre”.
If you are heading to montana soon, theres a hotel about 30 minutes outside yellowstone with some ghost stories and its own cemetery called Chico Hot Springs. Safe travels, our deer are out and about as always!
Wow Ron, the translation from the Spanish stone reads: Here passed away Eleuteria R. DeLujan, she was 12 yrs old😢 the 25 of Nov 1916? Not sure about the year, it's not that clear. And then at the bottom says the town's name and Arizona.
interesting, thank you for that!! 👍
Loved this walk and story.
Thank you Ron. I pass by this every time I go to Florence to see my kids. There is an old cemetery between Florence and Coolidge called Adamsville from the 1800's that is very interesting to visit as well. Cannot wait for the next story!
Great story about her, though its a sad one. I thought this was going to be a Sunday night premiere
Very interesting story, really enjoyed it. I live in Riverside, Ca and Morgan Earp is buried about 20 minutes from my house in Colton. Look forward to more.
yep, I filmed it - ruclips.net/video/2-WOWwksEPA/видео.html
@@FacesoftheForgotten I will look for it, thanks.
Thank you Ron from Scotland. Amazing history and story.
Thank you, friend for sharing all these special places and stories. God bless you always.
Thank you Ron❤I love the stories you tell✌🏻
I envy you. You see so much neat stuff. I love history. Have a good day 😊
I love cacti. And the stand alone graves. Although it is sad to think these people were left alone but they are remembered by FOTF! Thank-you for the story of this woman who ended life alone. Sadly, these women were by their men, where were the men... Have a great day. 🙂
Never been to Arizona but I’ve head there is lots of Silver to still be found there under the mines. Beautiful cactus flower. Bless Mattie 🕯
Lots of silver, and even more copper. That’s the valuable metal now - copper.
I enjoyed this very much. The wagon tacks were pretty cool. May she rest in peace wherever she is. Have a wonderful day my friend.
Interesting history for sure the imagination could run wild..always love Western stories 😊
I need to go there!
You do such an amazing work
With cemeteries!
Keep on keeping the great job!
Looking forward to the next one!
UUUUGGGGHHH
Ron. I wished I was alive back then bc I would have found Doc & married him if he was anything like he was made out to be n the movie Tombstone. This is a group of ppl I could sit back & listen to stories about aaaaaall day. ❤
Rest Easy Maddie🙏Rest Easy
5:40 beautiful bloom, thanks for including it.
Another great story. Love your channel. 💙
Wow, I was amazed with the wagon tracks, as long as that's been and they still remain!!
I believe those large boats anchored into the Rock or possibly used as come along hitches... If you encountered muddy conditions and Your wagon was getting stuck you could run a pulley or block and tackle to that anchor point and using extra mechanical help wench Your wagon up over the muddy spots!
Whether they had posts anchored with the bolts I'm not sure....
That split piece of metal that you were touching and asking if someone knew what it was that could possibly be another anchor point for a pulley or wench it could also be an anchor point for a windmill or Tower structure. It really depends on where it is in relation to the trail...
They might have even had a sort of early version of a street light with actual candles or oil lamps on top of wooden bowls anchored into the ground... That would assist any person who's moving their wagon through there so they can see where to anchor their wench or rack-and-pinion device which is an early version of a come-along racheting pulley just like we still use today...
👍✌️✌️✌️🙂
thank you for explaining 👍
Amazing place thank u 4 sharing sir have a good week
