I lived a couple hundred yards from there from 1997-2002 the Lawson house was just through the woods to the right of the headstone about 100 yards , if you go out that gravel road to leave and you'll see an old barn when you get to Brook cove turn left and go all the way down the hill and you'll see some rock and stone columns on your left at Watts roads is private property but part of the old Lawson house there's a covered bridge up there and it has part of the old Lawson house as part of the covered bridge
@@heisenberg8346 Hi, I would like to see that my self. The original barn oh yes even just to look around the Property really interesting. Oh yes thanks for the info also.
I've spoken to a few of the Lawson family members. There's a lot of nonsense people are spreading about the murders. Even in that book that was written. The owners of the grave site are not usually happy about visitors, so anyone thinking about going, you need to either have to have family buried there, or get permission to be there. They are serious. Do not try to go the property where the murders happened, because the property owner there will not be happy. There is literally nothing there left from 1929 left anyway.
I live very close to this area. I have visited the cemetery many times. No one has given us a hard time. As long as you are respectful they do not mind.
Mary Lou didn’t belong to Charlie and Marie. I know Fanny gave birth to her. It is speculated that Charlie impregnated his daughter and that she was showing signs of pregnancy during the last days of her life. I’m sure there are things that no one really knows about that family.
@@NerdEpix I was curious if the daughter was pregnant when he killed her. But if he did this to one maybe another. But it was a family secret thing to pretend babies belonged to the mother of the family when born from under age or unmarried daughters.
no one will ever know if she was actually pregnant, and if she was with his kid. if you hear otherwise then think about this, how would they know ? this happened 95 years ago and they do not know factual.
I can also tell you that when you turn off no 8 on to brook cove Rd and left on on gravel drive way for cemetery you can see a tobacco barn that belonged to Charles Lawson in that area is where the Lawson house was
I have heard this story before,but wouldn't they have done autopsy to the daughter after the murders and they could see if she was pregnant. Maybe she was pregnant from her boyfriend. I read she had a boyfriend or they did the autopsy and they found she was pregnant but they kept it quite many possibilities we will never know.
The thing is, Marie told her mother about her father molesting her way before the murders happened. It is possible that her bf could have, but who knows.
Hello my first time watching and I really liked the video not only the did you tell about the murder and took us to the grave site but you also showed us where they took the bodies . ON TOP of that gave us a little history about the use to be funeral twice but started as a hotel yes I love every bit of this video.great job keep it up not boring at all. My kind of vontent.your senior citizen watcher , Thumbs 👆 😊
I grew up near the Grogan's Motel. It was abandoned the whole time I lived there (80'S-90'S). Looks like it was fixed up into the Riverfront after that time.
And yes they survived and son he is buried right behind the family plot he died in an automobile accident many years afterwards. From what I was told by family from that area that the Lawson's owned a very large burial plot already paid for so that is why they were all buried together.
I'm a new subscriber. This is the first video I've seen of yours. I haven't ever heard of this before. It's so sad. 😢 I couldn't imagine what those poor little children had to go through. How awful...!! 😢 Well, he might be buried with his family that he murdered, but I don't think he's in heaven with them. He's probably in hell. Thank you for sharing your video. I'll be excited to watch more of your videos. 😊
He was not there when the rest of them were murdered. He died later. I was raised near where all this happened I have been in the old house before it was tour down
I only heard about this a few years ago and wanted to try and do a detailed video of it. I know I probably missed some things, mis-pronounced some names, or got some detailed information wrong. Was trying to remember as much info as possible while doing the video. Thanks so much for the comment!
I think the 4 month old was an incestuous baby (maybe had deformity issues...) The Wife was not the babies Mother... Another baby (possibly) on the way with possible deformities... People would know they were babies of incest. Mother's would cover Daughters saying a Baby was there's... The Mother found out these Babies were from the husband (not a boy..)
Soon this earth will become a paradise and millions of our dead love one will be ressurected to life live forever please read John 5vs28,29 Romans6 vs23
Dude!! That cool old stone building along the river there, I have always wondered about!!! Had no idea that was it's original purpose 😮 wwttthhh??? 😂😂😂 Glad to see it's being renovated and repurposed for something better than that! I'm sure plenty in the area (especially women) didn't care for that place back then.
6, however, Marie (oldest daughter) may have been pregnant at the time of her death and there was also another child who passed away a few years before the murders.
Question: If you’re saying James didn’t die that day and is buried behind, then who is the James on the big stone dated Born: Apr 5 1925 and died the very same day as all the others Dec 25 1929?? The other James behind, says born 1911. Something isn’t making sense…..who’s James on the big stone? He didn’t have 2 boys named James.
James was the other son of Charles and Fannie. There is a James Lawson and a James Arthur Lawson. He went by Arthur and he died in a car accident many years after the murders.
@@NerdEpix thank you for answering that! I watched a couple of you videos lastnight but this one was my fave! I love a good real life story-good or bad ya know? Great job!
I have never heard of this case. Thank you for telling us about it. I feel so bad for the kids. May they all RIP 🙏🏻🕊️💔🕯️
Very sad indeed. Thanks for watching! 🙏

There's a movie about this called "A Christmas Family Tragedy" does anyone know where I can watch it..

Oh gee!
Oh wow so it’s a private cemetery they are in?
This makes me want to go just to honor those that were taken too soon.
I live very close to this area. I have visited the cemetery many times. No one has given us a hard time. As long as you are respectful they do not mind.
Whose idea was it to bury Charlie the family murderer with the family he killed? Stupid idea
My thoughts as well. No idea, but it was a dumb one.
Could be due to cost
I wonder if the baby actually belongs to him and his daughter. That would make sense about the way he killed the baby.
Mary Lou didn’t belong to Charlie and Marie. I know Fanny gave birth to her. It is speculated that Charlie impregnated his daughter and that she was showing signs of pregnancy during the last days of her life. I’m sure there are things that no one really knows about that family.

My friend Jimmy Hazelwood is buried there he was part of the Lawson family that's how I learned of bloody christmas
😢
Liar

Dang! No kidding! Wow, thanks for that info. May have to drive back out there to see it.

The other part of the upstairs is an antique shop. They sell secondhand, vintage items.
I love it there

Thank you for subscribing! Glad to have you here! 🙏
@@NerdEpix your welcome ! Thanks for the awesome content . 😀
If you go back and see the photos of the cemetery. There's a photo of a row of ground headstones. The large headstone probably came later?
He knew he'd lose his freedom
Very true
And yes they survived and son he is buried right behind the family plot he died in an automobile accident many years afterwards. From what I was told by family from that area that the Lawson's owned a very large burial plot already paid for so that is why they were all buried together.
Makes sense. Just don’t think Charlie should have been placed with his “family”. Thank you for the comment!
That is where I live I have been to there old house and farm I grow up near it
He'll answere to God for his actions
I just noticed the square and compass. Interesting. Who's the Sanders guy that was there too?

no, they were all murdered and the bodies found on Christmas day. the only one who survived was his oldest son who he sent in to town on an errand.
He was not there when the rest of them were murdered. He died later. I was raised near where all this happened I have been in the old house before it was tour down
Wish I could have seen the house in person
Could have been that the 4 month old was actually by his daughter and that would explain him beating it to death. It was personal
Quite possibly
Did the surviving son get buried there as well when he passed?
Yes, right behind the family plot.
It was stated to me he sent James on an errand to get shot gun shells
Interesting!
hello...nice channel
Thank you 🙏
That wall means wall monument of Winston Salem
Need to go to olivet cemetery in texico new mexico because another family was killed by husband. Hassell family
Nevermind you answered my question lol
Who is the James that died 12/25/29?
He would be the middle child of the boys. James William Lawson. He was 4 at the time of the murders.
I read the book years ago
I only heard about this a few years ago and wanted to try and do a detailed video of it. I know I probably missed some things, mis-pronounced some names, or got some detailed information wrong. Was trying to remember as much info as possible while doing the video. Thanks so much for the comment!
I think the 4 month old was an incestuous baby (maybe had deformity issues...)
The Wife was not the babies Mother...
Another baby (possibly) on the way with possible deformities...

Mother's would cover Daughters saying a Baby was there's...
The Mother found out these Babies were from the husband (not a boy..)

How many total children, including the one who survived?
6, however, Marie (oldest daughter) may have been pregnant at the time of her death and there was also another child who passed away a few years before the murders.
@@NerdEpix Thank you.
He blamed his self for them being killed by their father
Marie's (the teenage daughter) name is pronounced "Muh-ree" ....Mary was the infant.
Didn’t know exactly how to pronounce it
Yeeessss. It was killing me
This happened on Christmas
Does anyone think it's sus that the lone survivor was in town buying more shotgun shells?
It's all true
There's a bed and breakfast where there house use to be
May have to check that out!
🌹🙏🌹
If i were the famikt , i'll move the graves . Away from the muderer.
On Christmas 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Might be cause he had so many kids
Possibly
Why is their two James their is a James on the family plot reads he was born in 1925 died the same day as the rest of the family Christmas of 1929
Yes, there were two James’. The eldest was named James “Arthur” Lawson. He passed in a car accident in his 30’s many years after the murders.
my thing is WHY???????????????
🤷♂️
What is the son actually did it ?
Arthur was the oldest son Arthur
Yeah there was a James Lawson and then the oldest is named James Arthur Lawson
I think you have the dates wrong.
Possibly. There seemed to be conflicting dates when I was searching this online.
What is the name of the book ?
I think it’s called “White Christmas: Bloody Christmas”.
It's Not marry it's Marie !!
Yeah I realized after editing the video that I pronounced her name wrong. 🤦♂️
😮😢

Well what else you going to do when you get your own daughter pregnant man?
The dude was a coward imo
no evidence of a pregnancy
Bro, you ramble on to much and go off topic. Just tell the damn story and be done with it .
Thank you for the honest feedback. Can only improve from here.
Have you ever heard of constructive criticism? It’s better than just being rude.
