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.

One of my passions is antique photos. A few years back, I was in an antique shop somewhere in Alaska when I found a photo that looks just like my oldest son! The gentleman even had a beard just like my oldest. Of course I had to buy it, and when my son saw it, he wanted it. He has it on display in his living room and he has been asked many times about when/where/how did he get his photo taken. The friends, once told the story about the photo, will look again at it, at him, and can't believe how much it actually looks like him.
That is so cool! I have several framed photos of "adopted" Victorian/Edwardian family members that I purchased at antique stores.
Proof we all lived before. Heck imagine meeting your double? I did couple years back. Just as I was leaving a train, I saw a mirror version of me! He was more embarrassed than me!! Wish I stayed and talked!!!
There is a saying that all of us has a “double”!
@@rubysmith8818 that's what the dealers call 'instant relatives' 😉
@@31Alden that's true but the photo is at least 100 years old 😳 I have a photo of my so many great grandfather (from the late 1800's) and he looks just like Jimmy Kimble😂
When I was on a field trip to the art museum in Houston..I saw a painting of someone that I literally had the feeling I knew him..I went back after several years..and I went straight to his paintings..it was so weird..🕊❤🦄
Beautiful cemetery even with aircraft overhead. Thank you Ron for pausing your camera over the porcelains and zooming in on that particular person. This gives me the opportunity to really think about the person at more than a passing glance and fires my imagination as to who they were in life and wonder about individual life stories. It is immensely respectful too. As you noted, cemeteries are the repositories of history. Which is why I love them. I love them for the history and the peace and serenity most cemeteries afford us as we stroll among the graves. Thank you for taking us with you!
Edit: The person I am most keen on, Ron, is Lisa Casazza in Somerville, MA. Remember her beautiful bust outside the family mausoleum? Someone had draped beads over her bust. I tried in vain to learn more about Lisa and her early and untimely passing, but struck out.
Lisa Alessandrina Casazza
Baptized: 15 June 1916
Boston, MA
Death: 1944
My favorite cemetery! While standing at the gravesite, can’t you just imagine all the mourners at the funeral standing where you are now?
I love these walks and old pics. These are my favorites. Thank you Ron for the dedication and respect you have for these people.
😳 you said a Red Tailed Hawk is a sign of Death??? Several years ago on a Sunday... I'll never forget this...I looked out my window and saw a hawk ( don't know what kind) sitting on a fence right in front of me. I came down with with uncontrollable feeling of dread and despair, to the point I almost became physically ill: I started crying and wailing. For 4 hours. Out of the blue and for no apparent reason. Finally it abated. The hawk had sat there for a few minutes after I saw it, then flew off towards the east. After I calmed down, hours later, I heard that my good friends son was killed on a motorcycle, just about the same time the hawk had been sitting there or shortly thereafter. He lived on the eastcoast. The same way that hawk flew.
Yeah when I see photographs of my grandparents and they were in their 60s, they did look older but when I think what they had to go through in their lives and how hard their lives were compared to mine, it is mo wonder they looked older. Bless them ❤❤❤
Myself to, I have one picture of my granny,at 50 years old? I'm in my 63 years ? Not saying my face looks young ? But my appearance is certainly much more young looking? But I never had the hard life she endured? How I wish I had met her? And known her era? Oh if only we could go back??
You are such an amazing storyteller, I could lisen for hours.
Glenwood Cemetary, on Washington Avenue right near downtown Houston.
A gorgeous cemetary that has Howard Hughes, Gene Tierney and Dr Denton Cooley, the famous heart surgeon resting quietly under the massive, shading oak trees....along with many other famous people.
A lovely, quiet place.
I really enjoy hearing your stories about the passed, and the comments that people make are really interesting too. Most people are respectful to different opinions, and we have a good FOF community. Thanks for sharing !
Hey, Ron! Really enjoy looking at the porcelain pictures of the people who have been buried there. I know exactly how you feel when experiencing deja vu! My mom and I took an extensive trip to the UK and Ireland. We were at Dover Castle and they had a very large display of the tanks and weapons that were used in WWI. All of a sudden, my mom had a very intense panic attack and she just wanted to get away from there. It’s like the displays triggered something from a past life. She was really affected by this so I said “let’s get out of here and go see some shops in a quaint little village not too far away and she calmed right down. Both of us have a great interest and connection to the era of WWI. I’m pretty sure that we both experienced it first hand and sometimes something can trigger memories, or really intense emotions. I totally believe in reincarnation and so does my mom. I don’t think it conflicts with Christianity at all. The Bible has been edited and rewritten so many times that I wonder what the original book included and didn’t include! Many things have been removed from the Bible as well. We’re almost at the point of “lost in translation “. I do consider myself a Christian, but I have a more broad sense of things that are acceptable to God. I’m pretty sure that the powers that have been in charge in different ways in the Christian faith have probably “edited “ the Bible for their own agendas. Absolutely I believe in reincarnation!😊 thanks again for an awesome video!
Couldn't have said it any better
The photos on the tombstone are just amazing. When your walking threw a cemetery and see the names you really can’t picture what they looked like at the time, the pictures give you a sense of who they were, and if your intuitive what type of people they were, even the old tin types reprinted there. Because like you said sometimes you can’t stand there for 20 minutes with a smile. But still some of them look really mad, did you notice that? Wonder if they really were?
Well it was disrespectful back then to smile in a picture, it wasn’t selfies from cell phones. Also you had a hold still sometimes for many minutes for the very old ones, dugerotypes (sp) and tintypes.
@@FacesoftheForgotten it wasn't disrespectful to smile, it was undignified and there IS a difference.
It was also a sign of mental illness or intoxication.
Daguerreotype photos of people took a full minute, which was the reason stands were used, to assist a LIVING person hold a pose for the minute necessary for a photo. Try holding a fake smile a full minute, I did because I believed it couldn't possibly be difficult. BOY WAS I WRONG! LBVS It was INCREDIBLY difficult and INCREDIBLY uncomfortable!! And when you must be still a full minute, it feels more like an eternity. Landscape photos are what took so long, and early landscape photos took literally HOURS....lbvs
The only photo I recall where they looked angry, is the father and child photo with 4-5yo child sitting on Dad's lap. It's quite obvious the child was being very uncooperative because it looks like dad is holding tight because child wouldn't sit still, and has a firm grip on child's face, yet the child seemed to continue wiggling around. And Dad looks super angry and fed up. Bet that child got the switch at home.....lbvs
That is my favorite movie of all time. Somewhere in Time has some beautiful music.
I just love the stones with pictures on them. It brings those buried there to life, which is cool! I love this cemetery. I bet a lot of residents that I took care of when I worked at the Bohemian Home for the Aged, are buried here.
Our church graveyard & my family cemetery both have headstones dating back to the early 1700s, so we have signs posted "No Headstone Rubbings Allowed" & we have security as well. Rubbings have been allowed twice which I know about by a professional conservationist to preserve the information before it completely faded away. Sadly, there have been several cemeteries/graveyards vandalized recently which is why I appreciate your channel for caring & showing respect for those buried in the area while you tell your/their story!
I wonder is there a special process once you allow someone to clean a tombstone.
I do believe in it completely. I feel like I’ve known some people in my life. Many times people have come up to me and think they know me Call a certain name that’s not mine. Interesting! I enjoyed the walk.
It’s very sad about the hawk, at least he’s in the right place, thank you Ron for the walk in the beautiful cemetery ❤
Thank you .l enjoy
Your show very much.
This was a beautiful walk. I love old photos. Especially when I come across someone who looks like are on the edge of smiling, just trying to hold back. I also love the fashion and hairstyles of the day. I believe in reincarnation, and I believe we might have a previous life with them or someone who looked like them. We will never know. Thanks for the video, Ron.
My gosh, that cemetery has some fabulous markers. Always so sad to see the markers of the young children. Thanks for taking us along on the walk.
All the planes and sirens show how life just keeps ticking along without us. Great walk today and the video with the planes worked out great!👍 I too find that sometimes when I look at a gravestone or photo, I'll do loads of thinking about the person, what were they like, would I have hung out with them or maybe in a past life I knew them because they intrigue me so much. When I see small children and babies I wish I could hold them. The goat and cart photo was probably taken by one of those travelling photo takers. They used to come around our neighborhood every so often in the 50's with a pony but maybe some used a goat because it would be cheaper to own. I've seen a couple goat ones before.
I have a nice picture of my children sitting on a pony when they were really young, one of the best pics I have of them together
This was a very fascinating video. I'm sorry you've had a bad run in with Christians that are finger pointers. I'm a Jewish believer in Christ and it has been done to me as well. My best friend calls those kind of people zealots. I've been watching you from the beginning and I think you do beautiful work Ron 🙂
I love the pictures they display with the graves. Gives a face with the name.
The boy ready to ride in a goat drawn wicker chair/ cart on wheels was special😊
Beautiful and interesting walk today. I don't mind the jet's noise. Love to see those vintage photos where time stood still~if only they could speak. One of my favorite movies is exactly "Somewhere in Time". Rosa Di Francesca (the Italian Lady) reminds me of my great grandmother's both maternal and paternal. Appreciated today's video and hard work Ron.
Somewhere in time is one of my favourite films, I can see were the photo would remind you of Elese McKenna in the film. Something similar of her was hanging in the theatre she was supposed to be acting in. Beautiful story and beautiful music as well.
Thanks Ron for this leisurely stroll! I just love looking at the pictures! It gives life and personality to the stones.
I always wonder when walking in a cemetery what their lives were like. The history Is fascinating to me. Very good video. Thank you for sharing.
Somewhere in Time is one of my favorite movies of all time.
A great movie Ron Somewhere In Time and for those of us interested in time travel really something to speculate about. The picture is very attractive. Chemistry cannot be defined, and neither can we truly know about crossing The Veil.
When you feel connected to that picture it is possible that there most likely is a past life memory that you are remembering. This has happened to me one time I kept having a dream about some lady's life and how she died, i looked up her name and saw the picture of her and in a weird way we look alike. Love your videos and everything that you do thank you for the amazing stories you share with us.
I went to an antique shop and was looking at old photos. I found a photo of a young boy and he looked familiar so I bought it. Went to my Grandmas house and opened her mother’s photo album, there was the young boy…same photo. A cousin that did not live very long in his life as well as his 2 brothers. Their parents did not have any children that survived past a certain age.
Very cool! Ty for sharing.
The upside down picture of the lady makes sense when it's closed her and her husband are face-to-face
never thought of that! 👍
Your show could easily be on the discovery network! Thanks for the detailed information, keep it up.
Somewhere in Time is one of my favorite movies. Strikes such a chord for me too, the elements of time travel, romance, and that uncanny sense of connection to something or someone from the past. I also believe in reincarnation, maybe that explains those feelings! Totally get it Ron. As you walk through the cemetery, looking at all these pictures, it's so clear these souls felt all the emotions we feel. I think all of us who are drawn to cemeteries and exploring them might share some stronger connection to the past than others. There's that saying, that someone is an "old soul ".
I'm so glad when you talk about these kinds of things on your walks Ron! This was great! 💙 sorry if I rambled.
My grandfather always told people I had an old soul.
This is very cool! My great-grandparents were born in what was then Bohemia, and emigrated to the US in the early 1900’s, settling in Nebraska. Thanks for your work!
I will be waiting to see the how it's made for porcelain photos. I can't wait to see it! The brakeman and the boy was one of my favorite stories.
Love these walks with you Ron, going back in time .. priceless !!!!
My son used to talk about when he was an old man that lived with his grandson. He talked about it till he was about 4 1/2 years old and then one day, just stopped talking about it. He would speak in such detail that you could picture it in your mind's eye.
I’ve seen Somewhere in Time several times. I love stories like that, where someone in the present time makes a connection to someone from the past, usually through a photograph or something similar. I think that happens to a lot of people. Who can say why that is, exactly? Time travel, reincarnation, ghosts, or perhaps a connection to the person in some other way we’re not yet aware of, like a family connection.
The pictures have a way of reminding us that these people weren’t just names etched into headstones, but people who once lived lives as we do now. There’s the saying that “As you are, I once was, as I am, you will be...” that I’ve seen from time to time on monuments.
One thing I’d like to know is how the pictures are made that makes them last so long. They seem to have been made to be very resilient.
I ❤ that movie..it came out the same year I was born..RIP to Christopher Reeves ❤
Such a wonderful movie. And definitely RIP Christopher Reeve! 🙏
Tintypes and glass or very high quality paper. They are generally encased in glass and frames. Back then people took pride in their hard work and craftsmanship, and used top notch materials with everything they did.
Your respect for the dead is admirable.
I love these cemetary walks and gravestones with pictures.....they are truly calming in today's messed up crazy world. Thanks Ron.🙏🤝☝️
Thank Ron, for your walk thru, love your casual talk. Those porcelain photos arey favorite. I love them as I use to see them often. I was easily drawn to certain ones, don't know why. One particular place was at Rose Hill cemetery here in Chicago. I was brought to a sight of a female murdered in 2000. I believe spirits can do that as I found out more than I wanted to know of her death. I was bringing her flowers every year afterwards on her birthday.
The different pictures are so cool. I find old photos to be really neat to look at.
At 16:20 Marie had an unusually big smile. Nice Somewhere in Time is one of my all time favorites and the portrait of Jane Seymore has always fascinated me. It is mesmerizing.
Very interesting. I've seen a few photos on gravestones in a cemetery in Glendale New York in a Greek section of the cemetery my parents and grandparents are buried in . Watching you from the Southern Tier of the Catskill Mountains in Upstate New York USA
The way I see it as a Christian, what you are doing is honouring history and those who have passed on. We are called to pray for the dead, plus the Bible does actually reference spirits and ghosts,especially in the old testament. I've always felt drawn to graveyards and historical sites of death, to me if I feel a particular connection then that is a sign there's a lesson to be learned there or a soul to pray for. I don't practice the occult like seances or oiuja boards but I definitely think the realm of spirits, saints and malevolence is closer to us than we like to think.
I love the children’s photos, but they’re sad at the same time. They are so sweet though. 😇 God bless them all. RIP 🥀
Ron enjoyed the video crisp and clear as if I was there walking along with you. No worries about the jets and noise life must go on take care!
Somewhere in time is one of my favorite movies. Love Christopher Reeves! Fascinated with time travel.
I believe we recognize souls that we have a connection to. I believe our soul never dies and we come back to experience, learn and grow. We have such a vast ability for things that fear has dampened throughout time. The lady that you are drawn to could be you, in the past or she is someone you loved very much, my first thought was that it's you.
We had a porcelain picture of my dad put on his stone. He died in January and that May someone has taken a toll and tried to pry his picture off, scratching and chipping it, I was only a kid and it bothered me so much!! We still haven’t been able to afford to get it fixed, but maybe someday.
Thank you for the tour through this historic cemetery! I love all the old pictures!!
I always wondered why a lot of the older ones didn't smile. Now I know and it makes sense. 😀 They look so serious. A+ 🙏
All the lives and stories seeing the pictures….look in their eyes and their faces ,,smiles ..wow such stories
Love your walks
I love the cemetery walks and all the interesting pictures. Somewhere in time is one of my favorite movies.❤
Hi, some beautiful grave stones and interesting photos, that boy with the goat, that's something you don't see everyday, thanks for the walk, stay save.
Great tour Ron..every stone has a story behind it..there's a whole era of history In every cemetery.
I just love when you do these kind of walks, just ramble around taking it all in!
I remember that movie "Somewhere in time". That video of the boy buried close to the train tracks touched my heart, and think about it a lot.
Great video, thanks for sharing with us!!🙏🏻😇
It breaks my heart ❤️ to see life taken at such a young age!! God bless the children and their families.
So much history within those graves. The mourning for all these loved ones goes on. Death is such a sad thing. The tragic deaths break my heart.
Thanks for this walk along very relaxing for me. I myself use to be a cemetary walker..
Love the porcelain photos, we did one for Dad & Mom will also get one. Hope they fix the leaning moment before it tumbles over. Not on find a grave.
If all those graves could talk??Could you imagine reliving so much history both sad happy. Thank you Ron from Pauline Qld Australia 🙏
Thank you for everything that you do.
Personally, I think it is sweet that the "father & Mother" pictures are placed "upside down"...they are eternally looking towards each other and "kissing" when the pictures are closed. I understand the symbolism there. Thank you for another wonderful walk!
Hi Ron from Manila, Philippines
For me, it shows that these were living people with dreams, families, hardships... everything life throws at you. When I look at these faces, I wonder, who would have been my friend, what laughter would we have shared? Thank you for posting these!
I'm glad you said that about the connection, I've definitely had that! I was literally only watching a programme the other day and they showed the picture of a relative of a man who died and then his wife and it was like "why do I know you?" The strangest feeling! The same as the first moment I met my husband, I felt like I had known him before!
I also had a strange experience where a tiny grave in our local churchyard kept calling to me whenever I would walk through and one day we looked up the child online only to find out he used to live in our road decades before!
Thanks for the information. I didn't know that rubbing grave stones could be illegal in certain places. I've never done it and never will. Just a picture will suffice and most of the time I don't even do that. Be well🧡 Yes, I've had those strange moments of Deja Vu.
I love these walks
Nice walk Ron. Cemetery is very nice.
Thank you Ron, wow how amazing are these porcelain pictures…I wish they weren’t so expensive to have made, I so appreciate the work that goes into it and certainly wouldn’t have it any other way…I just have quite a few family members I would love to add a picture to them❤️.
I’m wondering if the husband and wife picture in the flip up photo may have been put that way so they are looking at each other and even kissing 😁.
Somewhere in time ohh I adore that movie❤️❤️❤️❤️ so sad but so romantic and such a fantastic concept,
Jane and Chris beautiful people such a shame to loose Chris how we did. Chris was the godfather of Jane’s her children (from memory)..they had a beautiful friendship. ❤️
Thank you Ron and I love the connection you had with the photo, love to hear more ❤️❤️
These pics are awesome
Thanks for the nice walk, really interesting as always.
See you on the next one 👍🏻😁👋🏻
Stay safe 👌🏻
I love seeing all the pictures of the people, it makes their lives even more real to see their faces. ❤
These are my favorite videos that you do…just a walk through a cemetery! Thank you!
I have been told all my life that I have an old soul, people who don't know me tell me that all the time. I love everything about the late 1700's and early 1800's. the homes, the clothes, the furniture, the politeness, the manners. I think I would have been wealthy, because all the things I like are of the upper class. I have never liked to work hard, LOL, but I am and have always been poor. But it is strange that people who meet me tell me that they feel like I have an old soul.
Aw the inscription on Michael Hucko's grave is so sad, is says "our pet, rest in peace sweet son!"
That's most likely Mildred Knapek (Hucko) in her wedding dress, she was married and had a son. Unfortunately she died when she was only 21 leaving behind her 2 year old son.
Thank you ron. As usual a top notch video.
I had to wait till I was home so I could watch it on my large flat-screen
Oh my goodness. Ron, I have felt like I lived in the 1800's. I have felt that way since I was a child
The photos are very neat.
I always enjoy the walks with you Ron through those cemeteries looking at old pictures on the gravestones. It’s so interesting, wondering how their lives were back then before they passed away.
As always, you stay safe out there Ron.🙂💟
I love 💕 when you show us the pictures, they are all so beautiful and they all have a story just like you say!!!! I appreciate you Mr Ron for all you do!!!!
When my brother was 2 years old, he was just standing next to an old stone, not touching it (probably the first time a 2 year old stood still) while my Mom was looking for her grandfather, the stone fell over and broke his little leg. Very creepy. But he was cute in his little cast and got around great 😊💜
My parents who were born in 1927 and 1929 both lost a sister, one to scarlet fever and one to rheumatic fever in the early 1920’s. We don’t always stop to think of the advancements in medicine that make our life spans longer and our lives easier. I look back at how old my grandparents looked in their 50’s and 60’s and 3 of the 4 passed in their 70’s and now I, at 70 years old look and feel so much younger than they did!
Recognizing places or ppl like those pictures are mostly a déjà vu, something we experience in our sleep, we do a lot in our sleep, visit places, and when we arrive at those places we know we have been there b4, it happens a lot too some ppl and not at all at others, if you encounter a picture and it makes a very big impact it can be somebody from a previous life you recognize, or it can be your previous life but that is a ones in a lifetime moment.
Marie & her ruffles. Love this so much. Sweetest smile. I enjoyed this walk very much, Ron. Thank you.
My grandparents immigrated from Czechoslovakia as adults. These pictures so remind me of them.
I just love the old photos amazing
Appreciate your videos! The Hawk though!!😪
The hawk….
Hi from Arkansas , Ron . Thank you for another great walk . The porcelain photos are so intriguing to me !
Thanks for sharing another lovely walk with us, Ron. The porcelain portraits were beautiful! I agree with you about the “Somewhere in Time” lady!
Thank you for this wonderful walk looking at those beautiful portraits. I love the idea of a picture because the person retains their humanity, not just a body but a person who lived. For the record I believe in reincarnation too, so much witness and written testimony available, it’s hard to ignore it.
Hey Ron I love this cemetery and the old vintage photos on the headstones of these ppl that lived way back in the 1800s to 1900s.....nice walk thru this cemetery 🪦...love listening to your voice and talking about these ppl....Ron stay safe out there and safe travels 🥾🥾🚗 🚗.....❤️.....
One thing I love about your videos is your thought provoking comments. I think dejavu is what we experience. Also did we meet one of their relatives along the way🤷🏻♀️. Thank you for your videos. ❤️
Fascinating ! I’m of Bohemian Czech descent. Krejci - Semrad are two family names. Thank you for this episode.
Awesome walk thanks Ron.
Loveeeeeeeee seeing all those old pictures beautiful they are
y Dad grew up in Queensland ( Australia) on a farm. Born in 1929 he died just over a year ago, he had a pet goat that use
d to pull them around in a cart that my Grandpa made ❤️
The walks & talks are very nice, very relaxing.
