• THE SAXTOWN AXE HORROR...
The people there do not want a marker there mainly because they don't want it to be a tourist destination; especially people coming at night, paranormal folks, vandals, etc. I get it.
🔴 In our Premier Chat, we were talking about the fact that it was not uncommon to put more than one person in a coffin or casket. Here is the example that I was referring to - LINK - horrorhistory....
January 25, 1894, in Auburn, New York
Maria Keller, who was later suspected of suffering from an undiagnosed mental illness, shoots her husband in the heart, fatally wounds their infant daughter whose lung was punctured, and shoots herself in the temple.

THIS STORY:
During the night of March 19, 1874, a man with an axe entered the Stelzriede family's home in an unincorporated area outside of Millstadt called Saxtown. Five mutilated bodies were discovered the next day by a neighbor who stopped by to borrow some potato seed.
The dead were Carl Stelzriede, age 70; his son Friederic "Fritz" Stelzriede, age 25; Fritz's wife, Anna Stelzriede; and their children, Karl, age 3; and Anna, 7 months old.

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.
