_________________________________________________________
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.

I was born in Holbrook. My grandmother lived just one street over from where this happpened. She must have been there much later. Her house had a little ranch hand house on it plus the house. My father told me about the story. Said there was a book about it called arizona dark and bloody days. We lived in Maverick which is a village that is gone. We used to wait for the train when we came to visit my grandmother. She lived there I know in the 50s. But she had been there many years before that. Thank you for the pictures and the story.

This is how History should be taught in schools. You do an awesome job, Ron. Thanks again. Kate.

Yes! We're back in the saddle again. I love the old West, their stories, their lives, and deaths. I love the smells, images, and mental pictures that are created. Thanks, Ron. Great video. Blessings from Michigan.

Loved the handmade grave markers. It’s nice to see a town take pride and preserve its history, whether good or bad. Thanks Ron, another great glimpse into the past.

Count me in, these Western stories are always interesting.

[aliciabrewer]

I love hearing about these old western era's, a look in the past that once was. These kinds of stories are so interesting to me, I could sit for hours listening to them.
And Ron, you are great at telling these stories, you always have my attention until the very end.
Keep yourself safe out there Ron.🙂🩷

I’m still giggling over “Big Nose Kate”… when you stopped at a random grave and said.. “Well get over to BIG NOSE in just a moment” I laughed so loud in the middle of the grocery store I got several looks.

How interesting, what a story!! Enjoyed seeing the location a lot.
PS Like the Hat

[OnTheGoWithFlo-Kid]

This was so interesting Ron. Especially to see the location of the gunfight. To think that those are even the same tracks there now as was there back then almost gives the feeling of being there at the time it all happened. The cemetery too is pretty neat to see, It's just so historic. Btw, I like the beginning when you sat down and told the story before going to the location. It reminded me once again of Family Classics when Frazier Thomas came out in the beginning and sat in his chair with his open book giving us a synopsis of the story we were about to watch. So, I give your intro a thumbs up 👍
