Mattie’s demise :
When Mattie was 77 years old she married Handsome Jack so she might have someone to care for her in her declining years. In 1926 she suffered a broken hip, and thereafter spent most of her time in a wheel chair. At a Christmas party in 1928 she rose from her chair to drink a champagne toast, fell again and once more incurred a fracture of the same hip.
At the Denver General hospital the following day she made out a holographic will on a hospital letterhead. She died Jan. 7, 1929, at the age of 83.
Funeral services were held without benefit of clergy. The pallbearers were informed it was a Quaker service. At Fairmount cemetery, without prayers, Mattie was buried beside the unmarked grave of Cort Thompson. He was her man.
Thank you for researching that and I had no idea about any of that. Sounds like a rough couple of last years.
@@RhettyforHistory I can’t get over Quaker burial. But the champagne fit lol. I thought it was semi appropriate, not the falling and lingering on, just the drink part out having a good time still at 83
The photo that appears at 2:38 is actually that of Elizabeth McCourt Tabor or Baby Doe Tabor. She is another notable figure in Colorado history. She was listed incorrectly as Silks in a source I used. A big thank you goes out to the John who noticed it and informed me.
In 2021 dollars those monuments,mausoleums etc.would add up to a billion dollars for that cemetery! That chapel was a stunning bit of architecture. Thanks Rhetty.
I really couldn't imagine the cost for those. No one is really doing that anymore. You're right qbout the chapel. I sure wish I could have toured the inside. Thank you for watching!
Oh my goodness this is quite a story I was just getting out of bed and saw your notice. This is a very good topic and I follow you and now I being interested in cemetery videos I am going to look this cemetery and see who resides there . Great topic
I wish I had more time to showcase some more stories from this cemetery. I really loved this beautiful cemetery. Thank you for watching Harolyn!
What a beautiful cemetery. One of the prettiest I've ever seen. Wonderful job capturing so much beauty in a limited time. I could spend days wandering here.
You and me both. I sure wish I could have entered the mausoleum and the chapel too. Thank you for watching!
Interesting that Mattie didn't have headstone for either husband.
For one so wealthy her tombstone is so modest.
You are teaching me so much about the old West and I'm throughly loving it!
All those mausoleums are in such great condition and unique..
Just a phenomenal cemetery..
This is a really nice cemetery and if I was close I would be showing lots of stories! Thank you for watching!
FASCINATING Rhetty, JUST FASCINATING!!! I didn't, however, catch the name of the Cemetery. And the Chapel is just BEAUTIFUL!!!!
This is Fairmount Cemetery in Denver, Colorado. Absolutely beautiful there with a lot of history. I just wish I had more time to explore more of it. Thank you for watching!
That is one very large cemetery. Could spend a long time there looking at all the beautiful headstones. Thanks for the history on Mattie Silks. Sound like she was a pretty tough cookie. Not to be messed with.
It was a beautiful cemetery and I sure wish I would have had more time to spend there. I really enjoyed my visit there. Thank you for watching Harry!
Thank you, I learned something new. Lived here 50yrs, and loved finding this out. Please keep up the great job.
Thank you for watching and I'm glad you learned about something new.
Rhett, I enjoyed this video about Madam Mattie Silks, but I also enjoyed the cemetery visit, too. You showed us around some fascinating gravestones and mausoleums, especially that huge mausoleum. I also loved the chapel and the skyline in the background was beautiful. Loved the various gravestones of our veterans, especially the one surrounding the statue of the veteran. I hope Ranger is still on the mend and feeling better. Hugs to Ranger. Take care 🐎
I sure wish I could have visited the inside of the chapel and the large mausoleum. I bet they are a sight to see just judging by the outside. Everything in that cemetery was extremely well maintained. Ranger is getting better. We still have him in the collar for a few more days and then we will see how he does. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory
Rhett, I'm glad to hear that Ranger is getting better. Hugs to Ranger. Take care 🐎
Thank you for asking Brenda! I think he's ready for his cone to come off!
Stunning cemetery and very beautiful chapel ,that mausoleum looked like a palace xx
I wish I could have entered the mausoleum and the chapel. Hopefully some other visit there I can. Thank you for watching!
I love old cemeteries and this one is beautiful..Thanks for sharing
You're welcome and thank you for coming along on the adventure!
This cemetery was particularly beautiful with all the trees and big one at that , not to mention the Ivy Church. Another great informative video my friend.
This really is a beautiful cemetery and I would love to find some more stories in this one. Thank you for watching!
I've been interested in Old West history since I was a kid and it's so cool to see the final resting places of the characters I've read about through the years . Thanks for all your hard work Rhetty and stay safe out there .🤠
You're welcome and I've been the same way you are. I also enjoy seeking others out that have been forgotten over time. Thank you for watching!
You have a great voice for story telling,new to your channel and happy to be here,great video,thank you Rhetty for History!
Welcome to the channel Sherri and I'm glad you are here! Thank you for watching!
Hi Rhetty, that is such a neat cemetery. I'm adding it to my cemetery bucket list to visit in the future. Hope you are able to get back and do some more exploring there, too!
I hope so too because I really want to explore the mausoleum and the chapel. Thank you for watching my friend!
Hi Rhett🙋🏽. Could you just imagine walking down the street and there's TWO topless women shooting at each other ‼️😅🤣😂😆 WOW ‼️ this is a great video 📸👍🏽. Very interesting and informative. Thanks for sharing this with US ❤️👍🏽.
It would have been something. Too bad it's simply not true. I think Mattie had more respect for herself unlike what that "reporter" tried to portray. Other than the names he didn't have anything else correct. Thank you for watching Carole!
@@RhettyforHistory you're welcome Rhett 🙋🏽. And for This lady's sake I hope that she had more respect for herself then that.😆😂🤣😂😆😅.
I don't want to make her out to be an angel but I did want to set her story right and just make it know that that duel was made up by the reporter. It's sort of went on for 70 years that it's fact.
I'm in Denver and this is my fave one to visit as there's so many interesting headstones and monuments to see. The huge mausoleum has an excellent collection of stained glass!
I really loved this cemetery and would love to go back to see the inside of this mausoleum. Hopefully that will happen some day. I'll have a few more videos from the Denver area coming soon. Thank you for watching Julie!
Awesome, and So Interesting..A beautiful cemetery Indeed..
Yes it was. Hopefully I can go back there some day. I really want to tell more plus enter that mausoleum and chapel. Thank you for watching!
I have never seen anything even close to that one. WOW Amazing place. Thanks for sharing ☝🙏
It really was an incredible cemetery with lots of beauty and history. Thank you for watching Rebecca!
What astounding cemetery! That is indeed gorgeous with the green grass and fir trees. There must be an incredible amount of interesting facts from this cemetery alone. Thank you Rhetty, as always, an impeccable presentation!
Thank you for the kind words as well as for watching. It was a beautiful cemetery and I know there are a lot more stories to tell there.
I absolutely love your videos and I am so glad they keep the veterans memorials so neat and well kept
I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the videos and I really appreciate you watching and commenting!
Hey Rhett, that is one large and beautiful cemetery.
The story about Silks is fascinating. Being a madam at 19 was very rare in those days.
Plus it was a hard life. Every other madam was out to get your area of operation and take your business away.
That cemetery is one of the most beautiful I've seen.
Thank you for sharing and take care.
It is a beautiful cemetery and I wish I could have spent a lot more time there. I'm sure there are a lot of interesting stories in there to be told. It truly is one of the nicest cemeteries I have been in. I would have loved to been able to tour the mausoleum and the chapel. Thank you for watching!
Wow, that chapel is beautiful. This is an amazing cemetery. Thank you for taking us on a tour.
You're welcome and thank you for watching my friend! I really wish I could have seen the inside of that chapel and mausoleum.
I have driven by this cemetery many times over the yrs & have not stopped to go inside. Living in Greeley, Colorado & thanks to you I'll make this a stop to check out sometime. Lowry as u mentioned was an air force base in Denver . So it was named after him. Thanks, Paul
Who would have thought that kind of business would have been so successful from so young. Nice to see that she actually had such a long like too. Love military areas being so nicely done.
This was really a nice cemetery and a real joy to roam around in it. Thank you for watching Sherry!
@@RhettyforHistory Love following you around the cemetery tour's. The stories are like an adventure.
I was in that mausoleum once for a job and it is amazing, I remember it being dark and i also found it to be surprising to find. There's a tower Mausoleum on the west side of town called the tower of Memories, Coors has a Mausoleum there and some gangsters are in the tower, Denver had a little Italy for a minute. I imagine by now someone told you Lowery had the AFB just south of there named after him? It's all condo's now, what isn't ? but I bet there are some dorms still there. Love the channel, keep on keeping on, Go Broncos!
I wanted to do the Coors family and some of the other brewers in the area but I ran out of time. That's certainly an interesting part of the history there. Thank you for watching and telling us a little more.
thanks for another nice video on our nations' history. learned alot about some obscure but important people .
You're welcome and thank you for watching Greg!
You have got to come back to this cemetery again and spend more time. It’s so impressive.
I hope to some day. I'm not sure when since it's so far away. Thank you for watching Janis!
@@RhettyforHistory well if it’s Gods will it will happen. But thanks for working so hard to do these video’s. I have not seen you without sunglasses for awhile.
Just depends on how bright the sun is.
Thank you Rhett . The story was very interesting. The Cemetery absolutely stunning. Like you i would love to look at the graves. Many stories there i bet. Great as always. 😊🐘💝
Thank you for watching Yvonne! I had another South African viewer state how the cemeteries there are from the 1700s yet are being used by squatters or people that want to use the materials so they are not kept up and really ran down. Any truth to that?
@@RhettyforHistory Yes i am afraid so, especially out in the Rural areas. They are going for private Cemetery's now. There is a big one not far from us. Where Nelson Mandela wife & Daughter & Grandaughter are buried. It's such a shame & no one is doing anything to stop the squatters. I remember when we were in Cairo a few years back, we saw the city of the dead. A huge cemetery with Mausoleum's & people were living in them. The guide would. not tell us much. But we knew about it. There were so many people living there. It was unreal. We don't have a problem here in Johannesburg , but out in the old small towns it's a problem. Such a shame. Cheers Rhett. 😃💝
That is a shame. I had no idea about that. It's sounded like something that was made up. Is there not anywhere else they could squat? We have homeless and squatters but very rarely do I see then in cemeteries and if so it's not a lot of people. Ours are more in woods or city streets etc.
Very much enjoyed this video Rhetty Thankyou for sharing it and just noticed your better half posted a new one not to long ago so i going to that next :)
Yes she just posted it yesterday so she will greatly appreciate the view. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed this video and thank you for watching!
Thanks for sharing this🧡 Wow amazing place!! Gorgeous mausoleums and monuments
You're welcome and thank you for watching. I sure wish I could have entered the large mausoleum and the chapel. They looked incredible from the outside and I can only imagine how they are on the inside.
@@RhettyforHistory Yes, that would have been awesome! I could spend days exploring the place! Best wishes🎃🖤🧡💜
You and me both! It was an absolutely beautiful cemetery. There a lot of history to tell in that cemetery.
I missed this episode. I’m from Denver but didn’t know this cemetery. Thanks.
This is definitely a beautiful cemetery and worth visiting if you get the opportunity. Thank you for watching.
Love your video's!! Thanks for sharing with us. Such a good Story teller and also very relaxing to watch. So much history! Love it!☺
Thank you for watching and I appreciate the kind words as well!
Very well-groomed and cared for grounds thanks Rhetty
Yes it truly was a beautiful cemetery with tons of history to tell. Thank you for watching!
Another good video and once again I learned something from it. Thank you for bringing us interesting subjects and making them come alive.
You're welcome and I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching Leslie!
I have family buried there from the Cornish side of our family back around the turn of the last century. Riverside is the other one you want to see when you're in Denver, it's the pioneer cemetery and it's very cool for a search around.
Oh there was a ton to see in Riverside. I will certainly have a video on that cemetery. What couldn't believe is how Riveraide was maintained by Fairmont yet the two cemeteries were like night and day difference in how they were maintained and cared for. If I had never seen the signed I would have never known they were connected. Fairmont is nice while Riverside is really ran down. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory You're right and I don't understand that as Riverside is the oldest maintained cemetery in the state as far as I know.
I didn't realize it was the oldest maintained. Riverside appears to need more care especially when compared to how pristine Fairmount was. I couldn't find one issue with Fairmount but it was endless issues at Riverside.
I love walking around cemeteries.
I really enjoy I as well. They are like time capsules or card catalogs in a library. They show us little glimpses of what is in the past. We just need to find the stories. Thank you for watching Gwen!
It took all kinds to make the west up, and Mattie Silks fit right in, some stories may have been made up, but a women in her profession had to be tuff as shoe leather back in the day. The cemetery was fascinating, so many beautiful monuments, and gravesites, even the trees looked trimmed to perfection. I could spend the day looking around, you could take a lunch break, sure no one would bother you. LOL Thanks Rhetty see you next time.
It really was a beautiful cemetery and I certainly did not have enough time there. She was a tough lady for sure and I also feel she tried to do what was right by everyone she could. Even the girls that worked for her were well taken care of both pay and medical wise. Thank you for watching Patricia!
There really was so much to look at! I wish i could walk through it myself and learn all about the people buried there.
I love the story I love that Era 😍 great story telling 👏
You're welcome Rhonda. It is a fascinating era to study. Thank you for watching.
I used to walk this cemetery all the time when I lived in Denver, I don't know if you can get into Riverside Cemetery in Denver but if you can it would be worth your while I used to walk this one as well. Thanks for the wonderful video
I will be having a video from that cemetery. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory I'll make sure I do not Miss it Thanks Rhetty
Wow. Your cemeterys is maintained well. Our cemeteries with pioneers of South Africa dating 1700 are vandalized and used as building material for the squatter camps. And our leaders is doing nothing about it. So sad.
Oh no that is sad to hear of that happening in South Africa. I had no idea about that and it shouldn't happen. I sure hope the leadership takes notice soon and decides to do something about it! Thank you for watching.
New subscriber from uk loving your videos, fascinating history thank you.
Welcome to the channel and I'm glad you are here and enjoying the videos.
There are some beautiful monuments and mausoleums in this massive cemetery - but tHE mausoleum takes the cake! I would hate to be shoved in a wall to turn into soup .. Ewwww!! The chapel with the flying buttresses is amaaaazing too. But I hope you enjoyed your trip to Denver!
This story reminds me of two very famous female brothel madams, both murderers and Queens of Vice from early 20th century Sydney, Australia - Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine. Their feud lasted for A SOLID THIRTY YEARS!!!! They once posed for a photograph shaking hands ... but the feud continued unabated. You can easily Google either name for more about their stories - including their business dealings, crimes, and their ongoing feud which makes for very interesting reading indeed.
So it's nice to learn about what happened on your side of the globe, Rhetty. As always, a great video. I'm having a wonderful time catching up on your vidz that I've missed out on - including allowing all of the ads to run all the way through and smashing the Like button - it's the least I can do for the amount of enjoyment I get from all of your vidz. XXXXXXX.
Wow! A thirty year feud? I wonder who got them to pose shaking hands? They sure carried a grudge a long time. Way longer than some people have been alive. They both sound like they have some interesting stories to their life. This cemetery was very beautiful and if I lived in the area I have no doubt I would be telling more stories from there. I spent a long time in there wandering but could have spent so much more. I would love to see the inside of the mausoleum. Thank you for watching this and also for catching up on the older videos.
@@RhettyforHistory
@@RhettyforHistory
Yes, 30 years sounds quite ridiculous - but Leigh & Devine were feuding over supremacy of Sydney's criminal underworld - from around 1928 to 1960, and both made a lucrative living off it. Both were very wealthy women - clearly there was enough VICE to go around, but they both wanted it ALL.
I would love to see more of that cemetery also! I could spend a week there just looking at the monuments and private mausoleums. And I'd LOVE to see inside that magnificent Mausoleum!
As far as I'm aware, Australia doesn't have any large Mausoleums of any kind. Cemeteries here aren't privately run or owned - to be best of my knowledge. They are all owned by the city councils and you pay for a burial plot but unkeep is paid for by the land taxes on our properties. So.. No expensive Mausoleums here. And I don't agree with Mausoleums based on the number I've seen going broke in the US. It's a strange concept anyway as I'm unaccustomed to it - but it does make sense that 'eternal perpetual care' is a false concept. Sooner or later the money runs out once all of the vaults are sold. By law, they're only required to set aside 5% of the sale price of each vault for perpetual care and upkeep of the building. It's bad enough with many cemeteries we see, but Mausoleums are currently failing all over the US. Owners die, and leave the property to people who don't want to be Mausoleum owners - money is often misappropriated over time, and there goes the concept of 'perpetual care'.
I've been keeping a close eye on the sheer number of Mausoleums in the US which have gone broke, been left to rot - and then been vandalised...it's Disgraceful! Some of the biggest Mausoleum 'fails' weren't even 60 years old before the vandals and grave robbers had a field day with their caskets, selling off the skulls and long bones on the black market for use in the occult.
But I'd still love to see inside that Mausoleum!!
Thanks for a great vid, Rhetty - you do awesome edits on all your vidz, BTW! The old pictures at the start were awesome!
XXXX ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm curious if the two feuding ladies have graves? I ask just because many of these criminals like that have graves that are well visited or people even chip off pieces from their markers. I was curious if that happens in Australia too or if it was an American thing?
Another good movie young man, you're all good I don't say much about much but I'm always in here. Now you just showed me a headstone with my name on it and that was creepy. The name Marcum lol
Thank you for always watching! It does seem odd when you notice a marker with your name on it.
Excellent video as always Rhetty. I had heard of Mattie Silks through a documentary about the Wild West. First time I had heard of 2 women having a duel. Didn't know that it happened inside the saloon. Can't help but wonder if Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid and The Wild Bunch were frequent visitors to her brothel or not since The Hole In The Wall hideout was just up in Wyoming. I think that mainly they went to Fannie Porters brothel in San Antonio but I can't help but wonder if they stopped in at her place too.
If you are interested in driving a little farther north of Denver, Mary Kornman is buried in The Linn Grove Cemetery in Greeley Colorado she was part of the Our Gang cast from 1923 to 1926 and continued to act until 1940. Also Roy Rogers friend and Co star Pat Brady is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Colorado Springs.
I knew about Pat Brady but did not know about Mary. I ran out of time and did not get to visit Pat but it does give me an excuse to go back some time.
There were a lot of saloons on Market Street so there were many options. No telling who all came into her brothel but I'm sure it would be interesting if we did know. Thank you for watching my friend!
@@RhettyforHistory my pleasure Rhetty always look forward to seeing your videos.
There will definitely be a lot more coming!
Very nice video thanks
Thank you for watching Sally!
I love these wild west videos :)
I'm glad you enjoy them Janet! Thank you for watching!
Very very interesting Rhetty. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome and thank you so much for watching Kirk!
@@RhettyforHistory You're most welcome my friend I always enjoy your videos. It was a nice break today after running around a disabled veteran friend of mine , with a TBI. It let me decompress
That's thought to witness. And it can sure make a person ask why. At least for me.
@@RhettyforHistory Me too, and sometimes it can be hard no matter how much you care for the friend
Yes it can. It's good that you are helping your friend out though.
"Mattie Silks" now there's a handle to fit a madam!
Yes it is. Even Martha Ready seems to fit. Thank you for watching!
Wow!..It looks like it would take weeks to explore that whole cemetery.
It's a huge cemetery and I'm sure there are tons of stories to tell. Thank you for watching!
It's a spruce tree, not a pine. I lived nearby and walked these roads hundreds of times.
Thank you for the help on those trees!
Great video Rhetty, that cemetery was planned out so perfectly. It would take many weeks of exploring to get through it all, but certainly would be interesting. I wonder who those actors were that you referred to at the end? ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺
I can't remember who I saw but there would be years and years of storytelling in that cemetery. I love visiting cemeteries like this. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory that’s understandable Rhetty, can’t say out of respect for the families who don’t want the fans to know. I was looking at a sight years ago that showed, or told of where celebrities graves were (I don’t remember the sight it was, it was when I first got into the u tube thing).
The person was saying there is one celebrity, they would like to know where they were buried but they didn’t know. The person asked if anyone knew, and if so to message the sight. Well by a huge coincidence, I not only knew but I also buried them. Of course I never messaged the sight, and to this day I have never said where they are buried.
There are some that do wish to remain anonymous. Most of what I see is that the family just wants to maintain the memorial on findagrave though. Once it gets marked as famous then findagrave has control and anything can be said true or not.
Boy, Cort wasn't taking any crap from anybody!
Nope not at all. Thank you for watching!
Great vlog!
Thank you for watching my friend!
Distinguished Service Cross. I think it's the 2nd highest medal under the Medal of Honor, on Lowery's grave.
Yes you are correct on that Mike. Thank you for watching and helping out on that.
Lowery air force base. Denver
I have never seen a cemetery like that.
How is Ranger the dog doing? I bet he would have enjoyed being with you on that tour!
Thanks for watching Paul.. It really was a beautiful cemetery. Ranger has his cone off as of today.. He's been rubbing his eye and the growth seems to be coming back. I'm afraid we may have another visit to the vet soon!
Rhetty turned loose in a cemetery = child turned loose in a candy store.
Yes! I love exploring cemeteries and even more so when they are beautiful like this one and have a lot of history in it. I just needed more time. Thank you for watching!
U shouldve shot vids of the famous graves and sent to Arhtur Dark. BTW - I saw the viewers special a week or so ago. It covered Oklahoma,but I didnt see any vids from you.
He not only covered some great ones in Oklahoma but all over. Definitely some big old west ones. I did not submit any this time. He reached out to me in 2020 about Elmer McCurdy so I gave him that one and two others and they were in a viewers special last year. He mentioned doing a whole special with ones I had done but I politely declined stating that he should keep doing a variety of people. I didn't want it to be all about me. The viewers are doing an excellent job and so us He. He's one of the cemetery channels that has always been my favorite. The other is Grave Explorations. Those two inspired me to start my channel with graves.
@@RhettyforHistory Well,if it wasnt for the fact i was busy,i wanted to try my hand and submit some. if he doest it next year,ill definatly try and submit some. Dark and yourself has inspired me to try my hand at graveside biograpgy.
Arthur and Matt from Grave Explorations inspired me to start a channel. They were both covering California stuff and no one was covering Oklahoma and Texas.
Looking at the chapel I can see a slight resemblance to the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, kind of scaled down some though. Coincidence or not?
I'm not sure. You could be onto something. It had sort of a Gothic look to me but both the chapel and the cemetery were striking. I only wish I had more time to explore and uncover more stories. Thank you for watching!
That statue looks like the Good Samaritan.
Thank you for watching Janis!
My my lol. A very interesting lady 😊
Great video how is your little dog
He's doing better. He still has the cone on and still has a little growth. They cauterized it so hopefully he will be fine without the cone in a couple more days. I'm not sure if it will disappear or what will happen. Thank you for watching!
Pronunciation please! The Iliff family had a profound impact on Colorado, and you could have asked almost any local how to say it, as it is the name of a large street nearby. It's cool that you have these documentaries, but part of the respect for the deceased and their families is proper pronunciation of their names.
Where did you find her headstone? Would like to visit it..
I sort of describe where it is in the beginning of the video right before I start talking about her.
I prefer the "silent", unassuming graves, as opposed to the huge narcissistic egos.
You should look at the Queen of the Silver Dollar 👍💯‼️
Is this the Denver cemetery where the headstones were moved but the majority of bodies were not? The story is that the men hired to dig up the bodies were too lazy to do so. They just wanted the cash. The cemetery is now a huge public park. A similar situation happened in Tucson when the cemetery was moved. To this day it’s not uncommon to find old graves downtown when the city is doing roadwork.
I'm not familiar with that story but I can't imagine it being this cemetery. This one is huge and extremely well maintained. Thank you for watching Sally.
No, that was Cheesman Park. Was originally City Cemetery. It's next to the Botanic Gardens and they still find bodies occassionally. Bodies were moved to either Fairmount or Riverside, but not all were moved.
@@juliegrey5280 Thank you!
Oh wow! So when they find them when they do construction or repaving a road?
@@RhettyforHistory They do in Tucson. It’s not unusual to find the remains of ancient Indian villages when someone is starting a new development either. In those cases the developers have to report it to the city & county so the archaeologists from the University can come out and study it.
Another unusual cemetery is Riverside. It is a prairie cemetery on north side of Denver. A lot were moved from Cessman park to Riverside. The masalem is called millionaires row.
I actually visited that cemetery and spent quite a but of time there. I was shocked that Riverside is taken care of by Fairmount because they don't look the same at all. Riverside was ran down and in need of more care. Thank you for watching!

Have you ever been to goodnight Texas
