    That poor woman. Sounds like she had placenta previa and then to have her body along with her child's body desecrated. Rest in peace, dear Emma. Thanks again Ron. I always look forward to your videos.

      Thank You Ron for sharing the story, goodness I know the placenta covering the birth canal is very dangerous, I had that with my 3rd child, luckily we have ultrasounds now, I was lucky & mine moved enough that I could deliver her normally. It was so scary tho. Stay Blessed. And my prayers for this poor young lady & baby 🙏🏻.

      My mother and I almost died because of placenta previa. We both survived thanks to an emergency C-section. She had this horrible scar across her abdomen, so they must have been really quick about it. I was born at 8 months.

      ​@@taylortwinshootenannyfarm4187 same here. My baby was born dying but was resuscitated though he had wet lung. Placenta Previa is awful. My placenta tore (placental abrupto) so there was enormous bleeding and a threat to my unborn baby.

    A tragic story, in two parts: Emma and her baby die. Then, disturbed in their fresh grave and desecrated! Hard to fathom. Medical research is one thing, but that grave robbing, i cant even imagine. And where are poor Emma and her baby buried. Wherever they are, i pray they are resting in peace. Thank you Ron, the history you share with us is so fascinating!!💜

    Just horrible that something like this can happen no matter what era it was. Makes me wonder how many of those graves are really empty. You go to visit an old grave and you can't even be sure the remains are in there. It's just sad for these poor families. And being buried alive seems like it can almost still happen today since I recently found those two different articles about one person being sent to a NY funeral home and the other to an Iowa funeral home, both in body bags and presumably dead but discovered to be alive by the funeral home staffs. Just scary what could have happened to them.

    • @hollyb.3615
      @hollyb.3615 Год назад +11

      Yes, I've heard of this also, people who actually arrived in a body bag and were obviously presumed to be dead. In some instances, they in the midst of dying, they may have revived briefly only to die later that day or the next. Can't imagine waking up and slowly realizing you are in an enclosed and refrigerated metal box.

    Ethics in medical schools unfortunately didn't improve until later in the 20th century. I had gross anatomy at Medical College of GA. By then, they were only getting cadavers that were legally willed for scientific study. We also had a memorial service at the end, and remains given to family. I always felt bad about an exhibit from the 30s(as a remember) , that was a skeleton of a woman who had an extreme case of Paget's disease. Paget's is a disease that weakens and reshapes bone, and her case had advanced that her facial bones were unrecognizable. She was a poor sharecropper woman, who was admitted because she was pregnant. The hospital wanted her body because she was such a unique case. I was surprised that her skeleton was still in our lab in 2000 (in a case, forgotten, and in the corner). I did catch a newspaper article from 10 years later that the family was trying to sue the university. I was really surprised that the school hadn't just given her remains back.

    Often went to iconic Graceland for walks, so much history there and remarkable statues. Serene spots everywhere. This tale of the young lady and infant is heartbreaking as is the practice of grave robbing, a true nightmare. I'm sure the medical profession went to great lengths to hide these stories so we don't see the scum that exists in their macabre history. Rest in peace for her and all families who suffered these horrors. It was long afterward, but mama lived in the 2300 block of State Street for 26 years. Of course we never heard the story of a pickled body in a barrel. Jeesh.

    I remember the story you did about a year ago on the girl who was stolen from Restland Cemetery in Dallas Tx.

    Sooooo heartbreaking thisstory. I lost 2 younger precious friends this year. So I grieve this. I'm so sorry she suffered this terrible death. This depresses me that people desecrate graves
