THIS STORY:
The 1912 disappearance and dismemberment of eighteen-year-old Ella Barham in Boone County was one of the most gruesome events to occur in northwestern Arkansas in the early twentieth century. The incident has intrigued people for decades. The perpetrator was caught, tried, convicted and hanged. But some believe the wrong man was sent to the gallows for the crime.

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.

Thank you again, Ron, for traveling to Arkansas and making this video about my cousin, ELLA BARHAM ! Because of you, paperback books of Remembering Ella are **SOLD OUT**! lol I have a few more arriving next week, but the central warehouse has no more books, which means Amazon and other resellers who are currently out of stock must wait for books to be printed and shipped to the warehouse (which, by the way, is the Chicago Distribution Center) before they can get any! Amazon does have a couple paperbacks left from 3rd party resellers, but apparently no others. PLEASE NOTE that EBOOKS and the AUDIBLE AUDIOBOOK ARE currently available - it's only the paperback version that is temporarily out of stock. This should be remedied in a week or so. Glad you made it home safe!!
@@stargater2892 hello! Thank you for purchasing the Audible version! Paperbacks are back in stock. I have some and so does Amazon. If you would like a signed copy, please let me know.
@@BlackStump172 thank you so much!
@@stargater2892same with me - Audible
Hi Dear, if you are cousin of Ella then kindly maintain and upkeep her resting place. God Bless You All.
@@starsadanandam4813 I do when I am there. I have cleaned her stone with D2 biological solution. I live out of state so am not always nearby. There are caretakers who maintain the cemetery grounds and i contribute to them. My relative who lives nearby recently removed the overgrown bush. The white vase in which Ron left a flower was mine. I replaced it last year.
Poor poor girl. Being violated and murdered in that terrible manner is unimaginable. I cry a little every time you leave a flower on the graves. It shows such compassion, respect, and caring. Thank you
What a horrific tale. I truly appreciate the history you share & how you bring these forgotten souls back to life. May they rest in peace & may you continue to be safe & blessed with all you do.
I think Ron should always pray for protection ⛪️ Just in case something follows him. But he is doing a good deed ❤️
It’s so SAD, that there’s always been so much violence throughout this land! We as a country lives by the Sword. Because in the Sword we trust. Whoever responds, please don’t attack me, or cool off for about 10 minutes, then you won’t answer with anger. Because I love my country, but we need to know why this land seems to be cursed with violence. Also, if you don’t believe there’s a God, we won’t ever agree and shouldn’t try to debate. (LIP) Live in Peace!

Rest in peace sweet Miss Ella. You will not be forgotten. So many more people than you can think of will have read the book about your death. Thank you to the author for writing the book and endeavoring to make sure Ella is remembered. Thank you Ron for doing yet again a fantastic vlog about someone who should not be forgotten. Your definitely good at it.
We tend to think that brutal murders like this only happen in our crazy time, but evil has always walked the earth. This poor girl. Horrifying to think what she endured. Glad she is not going to be forgotten. Just ordered the book- intrigued to learn more. Thanks for another compelling episode!
I do love how you place a flower at the grave of the person who's story you are telling. Very respectful. Thankyou.
Her story is horrible, but, at least she's not forgotten. Thank you for bringing her story to life again and doing it with so much empathy. Stay safe and be well.
To dismember someone like that,along with the brutality,is unthinkable. The dreary day made it all the more sad. Thanks Ron.
Hans I was thinking the same thing, but why did he have to go and cut her all up, it’s beyond me. It’s really sickening. Just think about how her parents reacted with hearing news like that, gosh it’s just heartbreaking 💔 I believe that I would of just gone totally crazy.
And yes Ron thanks for all that you do. Your one ☝️ heck of a guy. ♥️🥰♥️
I think there HAD to have been someone else involved! :(
@@paulnorman3709 Exactly what I was thinking.
And to be buried right there at the crime scene where it all started.....wow...gave me chills
I can't imagine how it must have been for the family and friends to visit her grave
I thought the same. I don't know why they would bury her in the same place she was executed. I would have to have picked a different cemetery.
But maybe back then this was the only cemetery. It would have been extremely difficult to visit her grave.
@@karattops Or was the first buried in that cemetary?
Strange that the name "Davidson" was kept for the cemetery after the brothers were arrested for the murder (whether or not they did it) even if it was their family's land prior to this. I wonder how many of their ancestors were buried there before the terrible events. Obviously many poor people buried there with those tiny markers.
I agree. I would have had her laid to rest at a different location. It just feels wrong.
Thank you for remembering Ella and giving her a beautiful yellow Rose! What devious hearts follow us throughout our lives.
The starkness of this cemetery parallels the horrifically sad tale of Ella’s death in the cemetery where she rests. Thank you telling Ella’s story, Ron. R.I.P. Ella.
When you mentioned how she was killed reminded me of the Black Dahlia. She suffered a grisly murder as well. A man whose name escapes me wrote a book about her murder and he believes his own father was the murderer. Hope you made it home safe before the storms. Thank Ron
Steve Hodel was his name. He has written three books about the Black Dalia murder. His father's name was George Hodel. He was a gynecologist that did alot of abortions back then. He never got convicted for the murder. His son Steve believes that his father murdererd more woman Than the Black Dalia.( Elizabeth Short)!!! Very gross murder!!!
I
I read that book as well, fascinating author
Absolutely love this one and the cinematography. Ironic she was buried in the "Davidson" Cemetery after being killed by a Davidson. Rest in peace Ella.❤
Very sad. Nicely done tribute to her. I have swam many times in Crooked Creek as a kid in the 1950's and 60's. My parents owned some land close to where Greasy Creek and Crooked Creek come together ( just outside Yellville). May Miss Ella rest in eternal and graceful peace.
Wow, what a story! My heart was beating so when the drone was flying over the creek! What an animal! How anybody can do something like that to a person is beyond me & it still happens! Love your story telling, Ron, love the yellow rose.
Time , it's passage is not the same for all entities in the universe , Example ;; When kind and empathetic entities travel here ,
I suppose maybe just on missions of viewing other life forms , their technology enables them to view our history .
So , as they view the countless genocidal campaigns , they find us unapproachable. And as far as time ,, Hitler , Stalin and
other major genocide campaigns are judged as a discredit to all humans , then and now.
---------- As far as time , 100 years ago,, is but a microsecond in their eyes .
They have made the decision that nothing constructive could be had by them openly disclosing that they are here ..
---------------------------------- Plus ,, The clock of humanities extinction event has already begun ..
------------ ONE QUICK NOTE .. Has anyone noticed that after the first above ground nuclear bomb test in 1945 ,, is when
reports and sightings began ?? Plus Roswell. Yes ,, I believe our nuclear tests got the attention
of our neighbors far across space ..
I heard it said ,, the Earth will cleanse itself .. All manufacted , will be wiped from the Earth ..
Funny , they say , one of the last items left after 10,000 years , will be stainless steel sinks .
But , say ,, 750 millions of years from now , any evidence of humanity will be erased .
Now THAT is some heavy - duty reality right there .
The horror that poor girl must have went through. I am so sorry for what happened to her and to her poor family. Thank you again Ron for remembering Ella, and also to the author Nita Gould for keeping her memory alive. Rest in Peace sweet Ella. Wow Ron you have some amazing camera's and drones!
Thank you, Ron. A terrible end for anyone but a young woman of that time would have been innocent as a child. I am so glad you took us along. She will not be forgotten and should not be. Great camera work, too.
Definitely a sad story and terrifying one I have never heard of. You put some great music in with this one. I love the drone footage too. Thanks for sharing the story with us.
Hi Rhetty👋🏼
thanks Rhett!!
Ron, this is such a tragic and sad story of a poor young girl who simply wanted to enjoy her youth, by making a hat. I pray she’s at peace. You’re a master story teller who highlights those who would simply fade into history and be forgotten. Thank you for your hard work.
Poor Ella 💔 what a terrible way to go too there’s some bad, rotten people 💔 thank you for this story Ron 💛
The feelings I have during your stories do indeed take me back to the event. The sadness, the anger, and even the tears shed are quite real. She's so lonely. Thanks for sharing her life and death with us. May she rest in peace.
This is such a sad story, but I am so thankful you have told the story. And, by doing so, remembering Ella.
Thanks for telling us Ella's story, Ron. I've never heard of her before and she should be remembered. I found it sad that she is buried just metres from where her life was taken...it's kind of disturbing. And I do hope that Otis was guilty - and not a victim of haste himself, which would also mean that justice wasn't served and the real killer would have gone free..I just hope they caught the right man.
I was able to go back in time and visualize what it was like back then. I love being part of the journey… thank you Ron.
Monica, you say you "loved" being part of the journey? What a strange, chilling sentiment about a gruesome, horrible murder and dismemberment. Journey? Loved?
Oh that poor child. This is a sad story. The horror this child must of went through. I can only hope and pray that she’s is finally resting peacefully. I would have not heard this sad story had it not been for you Ron. By telling her story you’ve brought her back alive so she can be remembered again.
It's a cemetery that looks like time has stood still You can only imagine what happened to Ella what a terrible death she had I hope she's at peace such a young girl Thanks Ron for another amazing video Stay safe on your travels 🍀🍀🍀🍀
It's an old cemetery, they're not known for renovating. This is what small cemetaries look like.
"And we are in..." Love this intro and this channel. It is top notch.
I only live an hour from here at most and have never heard poor Ella’s story. Thank you for all you do!
Such a horrific retelling of a horrible crime. Thank you and be safe in your travels, Ron.
That was so interesting Ron! Thank you for bringing Ella’s tragic story to us! She’s gone but not forgotten!
I love everytime you use the drone and you always use great music .
Dearest Ron, God Bless You. This by far is one of the worst, heart-wrenching, Grousome stories you ever reported.
Ron just keeps better and better with Jimmy the drone. Gotta love it.
Rest in peace Ella. Thank you Ron telling us her story. Stay safe❤
Hi Ron! Part of my fam comes from the large Benton tribe out of Searcy, Arkansas. My grandpa Cecil, who raised me, was named after one of the Arkansas springs.
Thank you again, Ron and gang, for your amazing stories to honor these people.
I discovered this story not too long ago. I can’t wait to read the book. I live just an hour from Harrison. Definitely going to pay my respects to her grave. Thanks for sharing and telling this story!
You will enjoy the maps in the book!
When I'm driving, the radio often bores me. Your stories are entertaining and make a journey far more pleasant. Thanks for all you do!
Such a tragic and horrific story. May she R.I.P. Thank you Ron.
Thank you for showing part of Ark. My mom was born and raised in Little Rock,and loved the creeks,rock wildflowers and food straight off the briars and nut trees.She loved her childhood and the beautiful memories ❤❤❤❤❤
I live in Northwest Arkansas. Listening to the story now. I lived in New Orleans for 20 years. ❤
Tragic story and very well told! That quote on the convicted man's inscription, "misrepresentations, born of excitement" talk about dramatic! Makes you wonder, was he really the killer, do you think? The drone over the creek and ravine, very cool, but creepy too. Poor Ella, she will not be forgotten. I hope it was a quick end. Amazing job Ron, thank you for bringing us there.
Yes. It makes me wonder! It would be horrible if he wasn't the one. But...who knows???
I have this book on kindle and cannot stop reading it! Just so well written and I love history along with a good mystery!
Thank you!
So the only evidence against him was a trace of blood on an axe. Could’ve killed a chicken for dinner with it. Sad all the way around. I hope he was the one.
@@jonimcdougall7624 lots more evidence was found than that!
thank you so much it was a horrific story of that young girl but at least the culprit was made to pay. like you sad you can just look down over the hill down to the creek and see it almost happening the way you explained it. from the tree down to the creek and up the hill on the other side. Thank you so much for the way you present the story and bring it back to life.
The drone scenes w/that spooky music is my favorite.
Thank you Ron! I love how you show respect and care for these souls, especially the flower, lovely sentiment! All I can say, as a Mom of a daughter, my heartbreaks for her parents this was so horrific what happened to Ella, may she rest in peace!🙏
Love the crunching of the leaves, focusing only on the story of Ella, not anybodys' else's headstone shown, until Ella's. Shows great respect to just her! She and her family deserves every minute. Thanks for the great video. I love watching u and your channel evolve.
Hi Ron & all the Gang! I hope Everyone is doing well! Ron, a Very Tragic story indeed. You did a wonderful presentation of this story with the awesome drone footage and your great attention to history details. Thanks for telling her story and taking us along on your travels.
Very interesting and, as always, very well done.
I can’t imagine that very many victims, like Ella, were killed very close to where they are buried.
Glad her story has been told.
Oh my such a horrible ending to a beautiful innocent young life. Loved your drone footage and your picture in a picture shot of placing the yellow rose in the vase. Well done Ron, waiting for more stories.
I used to live in North Texas; they have some of the coolest old cemeteries there. ❤️
The fact that the footprints didn't match Odus' makes me question if they had the right guy.
get the book, then decide.
What a tragic ending to a young woman's life. Poor Miss Ella, I hope her death was swift so she didn't suffer greatly. It was strange for me to hear of something so gruesome from that far back. My Grandparents weren't born when this happened. Before hearing this story, I honestly would not have thought of a dismembered body. I now realize that true evil existed since the beginning of time. It just makes me sick to think that way. The backdrop is gorgeous, until you think of what happened there.
Thank you so much Ron for telling Ella's story and giving us the name of the book. I will be reading it in the near future.
Sadly, human nature hasn't changed, and won't change.There are always ''Badduns'' about.
There are many reports of hideous murders from 19th Century {the maul and the pear tree, Ratcliffe Highway in London is one}, another is ''Roade House murder, Wiltshire..and film and book have been made about that tragic case.
This type of human behavior ,, and genocide all over this Earth is what prevents entities from beyond our galaxy from contacting us.
Sadly,, we are but neanderthals ..
Another over the moon bad thing that happen to Ella. May Ella and Her Mom and Dad r.i.p. Sad to say but I think hanging should be back. Prisons and Jails are over populated and real justice isn't being served. Once let back out the same people go back to same terrible life. I think crime rates would come down a lot more. I feel bad for innocent victims. Another story well done Sir. Keep up great work and aways be safe. Until next time.❤🇺🇸
It may be used for future Nuhrembourg executions and Treason cases.
There has to be bad energy on that land where she was so violently murdered. Thanks for another great story.
The "bad energy" comes from people who committed a horrible crime & not the land. You've obvi been watching too many movies during quarantine.
@@SlimKeith11 she’s right even when we speak be it good or bad has consequences out into the world,it’s how God spoke everything into existence so I know what the lady means by what she says and people’s actions has consequences of energy that goes out into the world and it influences things that happen,God said let there be light and there was light and it was good and when Adam fell in the garden that sin action led to one of his sons to kill the other it all has consequences that lead to other events in life 🙏
@@SlimKeith11 I never said that the land had bad energy. "Bad energy on the land." Read the comment again.
So sad & brutal, Rest In Peace Ella you are not forgotten ♥️
I got chills listening to the story. Beautiful young lady💕
You are so good at what you do. thank you so much
Thank you. I really really enjoy watching you. You make it interesting and we can learn a lot
Hey Ron! Thanks again for the great stories!
She was wanting to make a hat. That struck me deeply. She was simply enjoying her time to do a project, of everyday living ,when evil struck. How precious each and every day is to us. How dark the emotions of anger, hatred and un-forgiveness can bring upon a human soul. Thank you for reminding us of how not to walk.
Yes, so sad. That is a poignant part.
Now I've found your channel I can't stop watching. A cold crisp afternoon/evening here in UK made a little more bearable, listening to your narrative of the otherwise sadly lost and forgotten. Thank you.
Good having you with us 😀
We are happy you are here.
Dear Ron thank you for telling us this horrific tale about Miss Ella I really appreciate the history you share with us
and to never forget the lost souls
Miss Ella you will never be forgotten always remembered thank you Ron
I really enjoy these videos that you make with all the history and pictures. Especially the vintage cases, I don't know why, but vintage cases has always interested me. But that you honor all the graves you visit really touches me.
Be safe on the road when you drive to your next destination. Greetings from Anne-Helene in Norway 🤗
RIP Ella. I am so impressed with your story telling's of these people. Your music choice was perfect in mo. Drone skill is spot on. I truly enjoyed this one.
thank you for being kind and left her a flower,,
What a horrible way to go but at least justice was served swiftly back than may Ella rest in peace
Hi Ron 🙋♀️. Ella's headstone is very visibly inscribed. I could see her name when your camera was way back. It was shocking what happened to Ella. Very sad and she was very young 😢.
You are an amazing story teller. Thank you for sharing Ella’s and the countless other stories we have all heard. Thanks for keeping their memories alive. RIP Miss Ella
Hi friend! I think of you often, and pray for you travelling on the highways!
Ron I’m so thankful that you pay honor to these people who’ve gone on. They’re unique, special never to come this way again. We should never forget anyone.
Thank you Ron for sharing this story. I can't wait to read the book now.
Thank you for sharing the past & keeping it alive
Thanxx for all the back history you do. 😷😎✌️
Wow! What a story. I wonder if he really was guilty. Thanks for the great presentation. The production values
are wonderful.....the drone footage is really fabulous and the music perfect. Well done!
Next time you come through the Ozarks, you might like to hear the story and see the mass grave of the people killed in the West Plains dance hall explosion of 1928. The cause of the explosion is still a mystery. Lin Waterhouse wrote a very thoroughly researched book about it.
Interesting 🤔
Well, dang, you're only about an hour from me. Have you ever heard of Enon, Ark? It is one of the towns buried back about 1957 when they damned the river and created Table Rock Lake. Enon cemetery is still left on the hill above where the town was below... Waaay back in to get there by road, but easy by boat and we can see the trees (cemetery hidden by them) from our home. Thanks for the story, may have to try and get down that way to visit it. Sad story indeed.
I'm in Mountainburg Arkansas!
@@melindaroop1346 I'll have to look that up to see how far away it is. We live just below Branson, MO, just over the state line. As the crow flies, only about 12 miles from Branson. An hour east of Eureka Springs.
@@carolinarkasas26 It is between Fort Smith and Fayetteville. And I love Eureka Springs....my husband and I stayed at the Crescent for our anniversary.

It always warm my heart when you place a flower on their headstone. A man with a kind heart!!
I love your stories ❤ I don't miss episode of you
Hi Ron, good to see you, thanks for all the stories.
I never heard of this case. Thanks for all the time you spend on these cases so you can share with us.
Poor girl. You made it feel like I was there. Good job for a horrific, sad story. Poor kid didn't even make it out of her teens. 😢
RIP Ella 🥀
Thank you for sharing this poor girl's story. A hundred years ago, is really not that long ago. So awful, what happened. Rest in peace, Ella 🌼
Thanks Ron for bringing us these stories! Safe travels!
I'm in the very cold Adirondacks and I'm on a Ron binge. Thank you, your kindness shines out in every episode.
hahaha, be careful!!
Thank you Ron for sharing Ella's story, my Great Grandmother was a cousin to Ella. Her maiden name was Barham and was close to Ella's age when the tragedy occurred. My Dad ran across this story when researching the Barham family several years ago and found it to be like opening Pandora's box. You can imagine how shocked one would be finding this story in the family history, which at the time was closer to handed down tales and myths. It wasn't until Dad connected with Nita and her book that he was able to understand the events as they happened in 1912. While there are many deaths in those days due to disease or accidents you just don't run across stories like this, at least not in our family. I appreciate your respect and compassion in telling the story of Ella and her family, it's very fitting to the way that Nita presents in her book.
thanks Mark, it was a compelling story, and it was intriguing to be there, where it all happened.
quite a family legacy to cherish, thanks, glad you liked my production.
Hi Mark, thanks for the kind words and background! Please accept my condolences again on the loss of your dad. He was one of a kind!
Thank you for this so, sad tale. I hope justice was truly done. You do a wonderful job keeping history alive.
So, glad I found your channel. As a geology researcher, I have heard very interesting stories regarding our lineage.
Just found this absolutely amazing channel, normally into the more recent crimes but this really takes you back to the basics of human traits and the outcomes of those traits.
Always been very interested in the "old west" and these videos of more recent times actually take you back and to the locations involved.
Thank you so very much for these, and RIP to all the dear victims. As Ron says, not forgotten.
Ron, no matter how bad the story, I can always listen to YOU tell it!
And, you're always so respectful!
RIP Ella!
RIP Ella. This is a horrible story and told so well by you. I feel like I am back in time and so vividly seeing this story
This was very informative and very sad. Ron, as always, you did a terrific job with this story. Rest in peace Ella
Really enjoying this. Now to see how it ends. Wanted to go ahead and comment. Thanks Ron.

You are my all time favorite channel on TH-cam. I have always been very interested in this subject matter,but no one else is,that I know. It has been difficult to find my tribe,but I'm glad to have come across your channel. I love it,thank you for all you do for these folks. You treat them with dignity and respect.I would like to say Thank you for that.
This was a wonderful presentation of the historical crime. Excellently photographed, with drone photography adding a fine touch flying down the Crooked Creek and coming to the cemetery. That part of Arkansas has a rugged beauty with the bare deciduous trees in the Winter.
Ron did a masterful job!
My goodness she was such a beautiful young woman. Rest peacefully, Ella. So sorry for what you endured in your short life here on earth.
Ron keep them good stories coming
Thank you! Wonderful documentary! Sad, though. I believe Ella would thank you for telling her story!
This is such a horrific story & it's so interesting how good the police were at finding the killer in those days! Thanks for another great story!
RIP Miss Ella . Thank you Ron great video!
You do a great job editing your videos and love the drone footage.
Thank you for another outstanding story, horrific as it is. Safe travels Ron, and RIP Ella ❤
Yards thank you for showing these people that have passed and telling their stories.....
