Description taken from Roadside America:
A large tombstone shaped like a rectangular tent memorializes people killed in a horrible circus train wreck 6.5 miles east of Columbus on November 22, 1915.
It was mid-afternoon on a straight stretch of track when the Con. T. Kennedy Carnival train ran head-on into a passenger train that shouldn't have been there. The metal cars of the passenger train withstood the impact, injuring only a few. But the wooden cars of the circus train telescoped into the engine, caught fire, and incinerated most of the animals and one or two dozen circus people.
The tombstone doesn't say exactly how many circus workers died (news reports claimed 24 died, later accounts put the number at 15), or even if they're buried underneath it. Maybe the mixed-up ashes of the train, animals, and people were shoveled here and the tombstone set on top as a kind of general memorial.

I got married today my best friend scott
As someone who worked for the circus for 10 years and lived on a circus train, thank you for paying homage to those who were lost.
Another great video my dear friend I also love how you had condolence for the animals that were lost God bless you Scott and keep you safe
What a sad story. RIP to all who lost their lives that day.
Scott, it isn't silly to think of the poor animals. Actually they're my immediate thought after the people and those thoughts are exactly the same things you said. Horrible things happening to children & animals is beyond tragedy because they're innocent and often helpless as to their fate. This is such a heartbreaking story and you always show so much respect in these sensitive matters, thank you. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. I'm about to be 58 on April 4th & you and this channel are one of the very few I haven't strayed away from because I enjoy it and you may not realize how you may be helping other who may be struggling with things like depression (like me) and others. Be safe, be careful and keep being you.
Such a sad & tragic story. What a beautiful cemetery & tombstone. Thank you always sweet Scott for sharing these beautiful tributes. You are the best at them no one else can compare that’s for sure. May all the victims RIP.
another great video, Scott! Your compassion for all of the circus animals and performers that have passed away is awesome. Thank you for doing what you do!
What I horrible disaster 😱 I can't imagine what the men that had to clean up the aftermath went through emotionally.😓 My dad took me to Ringling Bros Circus as a kid, my favorite part were the animals. Thanks for reading the poem on the tomb, very beautiful, and appreciate you telling this story. 🙏💖💐🌈🕊️
So sad and heartbreaking. My aunt used to send me and cousins to the circus.. loved the animals
i still have alot grief over the loss of parents but scott gives me a bright light.💗
Also Blue oyster cults bus flipped over the bridge. The one separating Columbus ga l and phenix city. It was like 1978 my mom was going to the concert or was I'm sure you already know. Anyway love and respect Scott! On your way out from that headstone there's a big oak tree on the left of the road heading out or to the back. There is a grave It's completely covered by the trees roots. Not the most amazing but wild to see.
Great job of bringing this story to us. Very reverent. Thank u 🐘🐫🐅🦜🤡 RIP
So sad 😭,our house burned in 2011 on New Years. We lost cats! Two were rescued by fireman and one escaped through a backdoor that found the next day. I was in the process of rehoming the rest. My husband told me the firemen buried the other ones before they left that morning. The fire was devastating! Our house was rebuilt and we still have one cat that survived that day! God bless all that died that day in the train wreck! Safe travels ❤️
I had no idea there was a second train wreck similar to the one in 1918 in Indiana. Many of those circus people are buried in Forest Park IL., in a dedicated area to them just like this. They all have separate markers but a lot of them are marked as unknow with a number, which I assume represents the order in which they were pulled from the train. It's so sad that these people who worked so hard to bring kids and adults lots of smiles and the happiest of memories had to die in such a horrific way. It's even sadder to think they died unknown. But they are known to God and that's what matters most. I was in Columbus last October, I wish I knew about this, I would have visited. What's cool in Forest Park is that every year they have a celebration by the graves with circus clowns, popcorn, balloons and circus music. I have never gone but heard that it's something to see, so one day I will go. RIP to these wonderful performers and animals who gave us so much to smile about ❤ 💐
no one knows what lonely is until it happends to you. without my parents im 48 but i feel like an ophran. i hope i can feel good again but i know scott makes me feel happy to be here. Vickie🌺💗
You should read up on the Hartford Connecticut circus fire on July 6, 1944.
A very sad story that I heard as a child growing up at nearby Fort Benning and then Columbus. Glen and I were married at First Baptist Church, the same church that held the memorial for the circus victims. It’s amazing that the church was packed for the memorial as it is a huge church…..with three large sections of pews and two aisles as well as a balcony.
Scott, I never knew that these graves are in my hometown. I've been past there so many times and I didn't know that they were there. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Keep up the great work.
I had never heard of this awful tragedy 😞 So sad. Thank you for this video Scott
Interesting. Being burnt or drowning is the stuff that nightmares are made of. Such a horrific way to pass away. May they continue to rest in peace.
