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.

Hi Ron. I found a family tree for this family on Ancestry. All of the deceased children as listed as passing away in 1799. They are Anistis, John, James, Ruth. Also Sarah was documented dying in 1799. Then in 1800 was Hannah. Many other children and the parents were listing as living on since 1799. So looks pretty true. Thank you for your great show
I think she was very kind hearted and a little gothic to go and read the poetry to the deceased soldiers . She was likely misunderstood , but was a beautiful soul 🦇💜
Sounds like she and I could have been besties. Such a shame she died so horribly, and was desecrated by her father.
I can't imagine what it took to dig up your own children to save your wife or the other children. It actually saddened me for all involved. Thanks, Ron, for these fascinating stories.
Ron, I wish you would read the epitaphs also. A lot of times what people say on their loved ones demise, tells a little bit about how those who buried them felt about the loved one. I noticed you skip a lot of these and just read the birth and death dates. I'm loving your vlogs. Keep up the awesome work!
My relative. Thank you for doing this! My sister informed me you put this out. My great uncle owned the land you're on right now. We used to call it "the old farm" and held all our family reunions there. Look up the history of the Cornell's, especially Rebecca and Thomas. Innocent Cornell as well. Ties into the Borden's. Our family history is very interesting!
awesome!! intriguing legacy!!
Your family tree has some interesting names and stories. 1776 Mary how appropriate. Innocent? Honnor, Pardon, Anstis.....fun!
@@connie2558 Innocent was named by Thomas and his wife because he was accused of killing his mother. My great uncle went to Newport and and retrieved a copy of the the manuscript of the trial. I have it in my possession now, given to me by my father.
@@FacesoftheForgotten Thank you!!! My great uncle who owned the old farm, did A LOT of family research. I took over the search and found the link into the Borden family via Innocent Cornell. I have a picture of Mary Elizabeth Tillinghast given to me by my father. She was an absolutely stunning beautiful woman. She is my (several greats beforehand) grandmother.
Lizzie?
Interesting, also there was quite a vampire craze going during that time in rural areas mostly on the East coast of the U.S.. the mercy brown story is another great one.
He was 5 minutes away from
Mercy Brown, and RI is the
Vampire capital of the US
@@TommyTheCat42 wow that is really neat, I would like to visit both someday.
My husband has a female cousin that lives in RI. She claims to be a witch. Demonic possession.
This has been so interesting and would be fascinating to learn more Ron. The idea of a father cutting out the heart of his child and burning it is mind blowing to me. I’ve seen it in your past videos but can never wrap my mind around it. Safe travels Ron🙏🥰
Especially if he didn't believe that she was really dead!
This was a great Halloween 🎃 tale an the cemetery gives it a haunting effect . I myself love the history behind the stories ..The cemeteries are definitely different than the Midwest .Thank you Ron for this great story . Everyone have a safe an great weekend
Creepy tail of a time when ppl actually thought vampires existed thank's for sharing mate...
You mean they really don't exist?😢
@@PLUMGRUBBY.Don't worry. We have a large vampire community here in New Orleans
@@linaleblanc8288got that bloody right luv,glad I live on the Northshore 😂😂
You can tell just by looking at those old, worn markers how old this cemetery is. So sad many of the names are lost to time. But that was a great story you told about Sarah Tillinghast. Perhaps there was a natural chemical substance in her body that made it resistant to decay.
Intriguing story, Ron! Thank you! When I was a child, my family had neighbors by the last name of Tillinghast (that was in Connecticut). It's the only other time I've ever heard the name. Perhaps they were descendants of those who are buried in the Tillinghast family cemetery in Rhode Island. I'm really enjoying your daily videos as we get closer to Halloween! 🎃🪦⚰️👻☠️
Would it not be interesting to have a bit of history at the entrance of the cemetery...I would think, yes. But on the other hand, we wouldn't have Ron taking us along his cemetery walks, lol! Have a wonderful day! 🙂
I believe Honor's stone said mother of "14." Blessings from Michigan.
I love old cemeteries like this. Interesting story on this family. It does sound strange that Sarah's body didn't decompose but have heard this happening to others. They did have strange believes back then. Thank you Ron.
Reminds me of the Mercy Brown case. Great storytelling, amazing how far we've come as far as medical knowledge and understanding is concerned
They are distantly related.
Wow, half a family wiped out by TB. I'm not sure when TB was determined to be under control, but I remember having to get TB tests right in the classroom in grammar school. As a kid I never realized how deadly it could be. I also remember the old TB sanatoriums on Pulaski and Bryn Mawr in Chicago. I think it closed sometime in the 70's. I know at least part of it became senior apartment housing because my uncle moved in to one of the apartments years later. There sure were some strange thoughts in the old days about vampires. To take that girls heart out even a year after death is crazy. Today she would be canonized for the same reason they wanted to destroy her body. Great story Ron. Boy these graves were old. I'm glad they are still left there. I always worry about these small family plots being moved one day in the name of progress. I hate when they do stuff like that.
My grandfather died of TB in 1929 at the age of 27.....my dad was 2 and grew up without his father.
Some folks just have no respect for these old places. It's disgraceful 😢
@@debyoder8342😢
I had to have a TB test late as 1992 when I worked in a family practice clinic. I can’t remember for sure, but it might have been because we had a patient come in that turned out to have an active case of TB. In Seattle we had Firlands Sanitarium for TB patients, many were there for over a year. It was later turned into a living situation for those who had Down Syndrome and other developmental challenges.
TB is back. I read polio is also. Some are blaming the open boarder. People coming in that haven’t had proper vaccinations. My father lived through tb/consumption as a young child. But he was never healthy. Spooky to think it could come back.
What a fascinating old graveyard with all the old stones. I cannot imagine digging up your family members and cutting out the heart of one daughter and burning it. Because she was thought to be a vampire 🧛♀️ My goodness! An uncorrupt body is one sign of a Saint; from what I've heard. Onward to the next story Ron! 😃
These New England videos are so fascinating.
Great story. Thanks Ron. You are Da Man
Fascinating story, watching from Exeter, Devon uk
This was really interesting Ron, thank you.
The comments are also really interesting.
Sad to see that a lot of the headstones are being lost to the earth.. Rip Sarah and all your family 💐
You should of drove 2 hrs north east 2 Gloucester Mass.plenty of old tales and cemeterys 1667🌊🐟🐟
wish I had a clone! 👍😃
Gloucester is also the place where the fishermen from the book/ movie The Perfect Storm left on that fateful fishing trip! I highly recommend both reading that book and watching that movie! True story! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Rip Sarah T...🙏 So sad 😥...a vampire 🦇 WOW... thank you Ron and happy Halloween 🎃👻... Mary M..
You are the best at telling these stories and game for anything!!!
Linda from Missouri 👍🥰😊♥️
So, I am actually finding a lot of kids in this family in a genealogical reference. Anna, Amos, Stephen, Amay, Honour, Pardon, Stukey, Stukely, Hannah, Mary, Sarah, Ruth, Andris, Clarke, and James. Stukey and Stukely are listed with dates of birth two years apart, as to be two different people, with Stukey living 1772-1773 and Stukely living 1774-1848.
I would infer that Honor was the mother of 14, and that 8 of them died young, including Sarah. The other 6 lived well into adulthood, and some to a ripe old age.
Fascinating video!
Sounds like a case of premature burial possibly. Honor's headstone said she was the mother of 14 children and all lived to grow up? That doesn't make sense if Sarah was 21 and more followed her within a year. Is it possible that Find a Grave only list 7 because the ones that died with the sickness graves didn't have their info on them?
Hi Ron from Cape Town South Africa
My grandfather died of TB in 1952, he was sent away to a TB hospital in Columbia SC called The State Park on Farrow Rd. He was allergic to sulfur drugs so he couldn't take the medicine to that could have saved his life. When my sister and I were small we had to have blood transfusion quiet often, but then the man that had our same blood type got TB, so no more bike rides or roller skates for us for the fear that we would get hurt.
I'm a rhode island gurl and have been watching your channel for a while. Im so excited you came here now I wanna go see some of the sites with my kiddos. I love learning about the forgotten.
awesome!! more coming Fromm Rhode Island. Today's is a doozy!!
Thank you for this great halloween 🎃 story
Thank you ❤️
Love a story from FOTF!!! Happy Halloween 🎃 👻🍬🍭🍫🤖
Fancy having your own cemetery wow
Great MYSTERIOUS Story.. sounds bout like Mercy Brown story too, which about the same time period of this one in Rhonde Island. Brown family thought be vampires. Great video and creepy
Thanks Ron for another great story.
THANKS RON ,ANOTHER GOOD HISTORY WALK, SO INTERESTING ..LOVE THE SOUND OF YOU WALKING ON THE AUTUMN LEAVES . LEARNING SO MUCH HISTORY , THANKYOU LOVED THE GRAVES .RIP PILGRIMS RIP 🙏🏻🙏🏻💐🇦🇺DI AUSSIE
I can always count on you for informative videos!! Thanks for sharing!! ❤
Happy new years Ron God bless you and your family
Awesome story, did you notice the red rose on top of the stone? Someone had been there not long ago. Maybe a descendent of the family, and if so maybe they can shed some light on the story of Sarah.
What an amazing Halloween 🎃 story thanks for sharing this and others I love watching these. Have a great day and weekend all.😊
Let me start by saying great job Ron. You scored another touchdown.... Okay now, someone hold my pumpkin... I think it's was a very sweet gesture for her to go read to soldiers that had passed.... She died in 1799, how in Halloween pumpkin could she still look so called in good shape that many year's later? I truly believe that when her heart was burnt they actually killed a vampire... That's just to weird...See this is why I love your Halloween videos...😁😁
I think you would really enjoy the book Food for the Dead by Dr. Michael Bell. He is a professional folklorist who covers this phenomenon in New England. Enjoy the spooky season!
@@loralouise3865 I wonder if I can find that at my local library
Thanks Ron.
Love this story Ron. Thanks you are awesome .
Love how you use the flashlight
Friday night, watching alone with one son upstairs, so far sounds very good….! Maybe half the children. How sad. I can’t imagine what our earlier generations went through with all the heartache & mourning so often. 😢
(I looked in Ancestry bc I have partial access & there are tons of Tillinghasts in that area. Found a Stanley S Tullinghast, died mid 1800s. Probably Stutely’s grandson. Many deaths in 1799 as you said.)
born and raised in Rhode Island ,tillinghast name still exists ...I know a few! Have you ever looked up the Nelly vore grave not too far away!
I just read an article and it says that the sister who got sick after Sarah's death told her father that Sarah would visit her at night time, and that she would sit on her and that caused pain, then when his wife and son fell ill they also claimed that Sarah would visit them at night, therefore he thought Sarah was a vampire and did what you said with her heart.
She had tuberculosis. That makes breathing very difficult and painful. I can only imagine that would be worse when lying down (after all, bronchitis and chest congestions are.) So, it is no wonder the she was dreaming that somebody was sitting on her.
And, with Sarah's death so recent, she must have been thinking about her pretty constantly. So, it stands to reason that she would dream that the person sitting on her was Sarah.
thank you Ron!
Rest in peace family, very interesting story though and would like to know more hope to find out about it .thanks for sharing with us take care.
Ever notice the old stones are thin. Thank you for sharing this
This story is almost like the mercy brown who was suppose to be another vampire in rhode island. She's down the street behind the church. Same kind of story
Look forward to your videos 🎃🤡👻🦇👾☠️🧌

Should check out the putnam family cemetery in danvers Massachusetts. Nice salem witch trial connection
Honor's headstone says all 14 children lived to grow up. Not grow old. In a time where there were a lot of infant and child deaths, to have all your children reach adulthood (today we consider 18 years old as adults) was probably very rare. According to pinned comment, Sarah (aged 21) had nine siblings that were older than her. Only five of those are listed on Find A Grave. So maybe the other two were adult children still living on the farm? Your children are still called your "children" no matter how old they are. Just a thought.
I bought the Salem witch trial transcripts many years ago from higginsons book company it’s all in the old English writing blue hard cover very interesting read.
That would be a really cool place for Ron to visit! Salem! I look forward to the time when I will finally get to visit the New England region. I have been wanting to go there for many years! There’s so much history and so many things to see there!
That was a big family plot wow interesting story again thnx Ron.
Honors headstone did say mother of 14 children.
Hi Ron. A very interesting story, spooky but interesting. I am glad I live in this century and modern time . Thanks for all your great vlogs. Love them . Happy Halloween. Take care . Deborah 🇨🇦
Interesting presentation,Ron.I had to freeze frame 3 or 4 times @ 16:09 because I thought I saw a leg bone.I believe it was only a branch.Enjoyed the trip back in time today!
Wow what a fascinating story. Thank you for doing this one.
Very interesting story. It does make you wonder how many times they did this in that time frame. Also with the grave robbers then they dig up a "vampire" and fleed.
Another fascinating tale!
Happy Halloween Ron and family 😮
I just looked at the find-a grave info. These people are buried everywhere! Exeter; Brayton in Warwick and Allen in North Kingstown! So confusing!!!!!
I thought I'd look this up on Ancestry & on to Find A Grave out of curiosity. I see all kinds of pictures for a lot of the same names (newer/later dates) but these graves are not the same ones shown here and at a different cemetery. The ones I'm talking about are at Brayton Cemetery in Warwick, Kent County, Rhode Island, USA. I just thought it was extremely interesting to see Honor & Stutley together at a completely different place. It says they are siblings but also show the same grave marker with Stutley being Honor's spouse. Maybe you could visit them too? I see someone else confirmed the 14 kids as was on Honor's stone. Very cool. :)

Wow, she was gorgeous in that portrait.
I would've fallen victim to Countess Tillinghast. 🦇
That's not actually her. She died in 1799.
I think Honor's tombstone may read that she was the mother of 14 children... very interesting video. ❤

These places are so beautiful! Frozen in time. ❤
creepy good story for Halloween, can’t imagine having to exhume her cut out her heart to save the family, got chills hearing how she was still intact upon exhuming her 👻
The extracting and burning of a corpse's heart is still done in rural Romania. They coconct a drink which includes the ashes of the burned heart, and the living relatives subsequently drink it to prevent becoming a stragoi, i.e. a vampire.
I always loved old cemeteries storys. keep doing your good work 💀👻😉 And happy Halloween from Montreal
Its crazy to think the same people who founded this country, at the same time still believed in vampires.
Happy halloween ron
On Honor’s tombstone it says she was the mother of 14 children
I just thought of this little detail, it was mentioned in the book Food for the Dead, by Dr. Michael Bell. The Tillinghast family did indeed have 14 children and the story is that astutely had a horrible dream about losing half of his orchard and it was later, that he connected losing half of his children to the dream about losing half of his orchard. Some of the children were very probably young adults. If a child survived past infancy and childhood, then they had survived into adulthood. So this does check out when looked at from this perspective.
I 🧡 A Spooky Story & Thanks Ron🎃👻
Wow so interesting Ron! 😊
Wonderful family story and graveyard
Wow!! Thanks for sharing.😳🎃👻
Stay safe Ron..😵💔🦇
uncorrupted like the italian bride right ron?
Right!!!!
As an Italian American I’d find this incredibly offensive but it’s absolutely true!
Thank you kindly💐🌻😔
Great Halloween tale.🎃💀🎃
Happy Halloween!!!!🎃🎃
that story iss..sooo...crazy
Very cool!
Thank you Alex. Very much appreciated, cool!!!
I heard another tale like this except I think the last name was Brown and I believe it was Rhode Island also. They fed the heart to the brother to try to save him but it didn’t. Almost the same tale. It’s possible they changed the name on tv and embellished the eating of the heart.
Yes, the Mercy Brown story is the most famous one and has been told over and over and over on RUclips and everywhere else. I’m looking for the untold stories always. Like this
I believe they did a dramatization this story
On a documentary about vampires hers was the only corpse that was totally preserved which made the people believe she was a vampire
To @ FOTF Ron I reckon I will be wearing a wreath of garlic and onions to scare away any vampire and that mysterious 'I Vant To Drink Your Vlad' vampire cat ❤ 😂 😊 ! 'I really appreciate your videos. As always, thank you.'.
I think some of those are actually footstones, they're in front of the larger headstone, marking where the body lies.
Wow
Great story Ron❤
Awesome story Sir!
I got a good subject matter for you in the town I live in a local historian made a video in the local graveyard of famous people some national some just local one made a watch that could tell time in three different countries he showed it to people and verified it worked took it apart one night could not figure out how to put it back together had a breakdown because of it spent the rest of his life in a mental institution another guy whose grave is there assassinated famous political figure in the 1800s there was also lunatics always seen in the graveyard because there was an institution nearby he showed news clips of different incidents. Another is a grave of a famous sports broadcast. One is the grave of the person to own the first automobile in town 1 grave has a depiction of a guy falling off of a wagon and breaking his neck from the 1800 s another grave is the wife of one of the founders of the city she and the other founders wife had the same name the originally named the city after the girls. And about 20 more interesting stories
Love old cemetery’s and history. I like to read stones and what love ones put on them. Recent went back out to Buddy Hollys grave and Mac Davis grave we stop by another musician grave and also to a lady grave she was murder at Texas Tech she had gone into a office to clean it and a student was there stealing the answers to a quiz and he beheaded her and put her head in the fish tank she was just doing her job so sad.
GOSTO MUITO DOS SEUS VIDEOS!🥰
