My parents grew up on Taylor street & their parents come from Italy right Taylor street in Chicago. Our family still have our family home on Carpenter & Taylor street it’s been in our family for 125 years I love it good memories good memories 😊
There are endless stories in this cemetery. I've loved this place since I was a little kid. Went there to visit family almost weekly with my parents growing up. I remember the episode you did when that nice girl let you inside her families mausoleum. That was interesting. I never get tired of this place. It's a gem and a rarity from the modern cemeteries of today. Ron, you are only an amateur because that's as far as you are letting yourself go. However, I say you could be a Hollywood producer right up there with the best of them! I love the stones that have the covered pictures. It preserves them so well. Thanks to Deb for doing such a great job putting stories to these faces. She's incredibly! Yes, I remember the classy days because I was born at the tail end of that era and raised in an Italian family that clung to their traditions. Carmen is a woman's name, and the male version of that is Carmelo. I had both in my family. Italians seem to use the same names through generations to come. Thanks for the great walk, Ron and Brittan. Chicago and it's suburbs have the best cemeteries I think!
Lovely day there ,forgotten what blue skies are in the U.K. ,just overcast all the while 😕..This has always been a beautiful cemetery ,I love all the photographs and thanks Deb for putting their story up too it helps to think of them as people and not just Graves..Thanks for taking us around with you and Brittan I really have missed these walks,they are so calming and peaceful..Love n Light 🥰
It's so good seeing you both. I love the porcelain photos! The stories about them are fascinating. The young children and babies who have passed are especially sad. I want a porcelain picture on my gravestone. Maybe one when I was 30, after all, they say that's the age we are in heaven. Thanks so much!
Hey Deb, it was that the rubber tubing from bottle to nipple was not able to be cleaned easily. Allowing bacteria to grow, and cause poisoning of the child.
Correct. It led to the deaths of many children around the turn of the century. The reason I thought it might be what led to the child’s death here was that she was a twin. I would think using some type of bottle would be helpful for a mother of twins. Can’t prove that’s what happened, but it made me question the possibility.
17:16 Elizabeth Isabella Calfa, parents were Nicholas Calfa and Angelina Cesaro. Elizabeth was born in Chicago 11 Nov 1910, her parents both born in Italy, she had 4 sisters and 4 brothers. That's all I found on her..Great video, miss those walking tours at Mt. Carmel..As always Ron, take care wherever your travels may lead you - Trish 😊💛
Ohh the find a grave memorial misspelled the last name, I sent in an edit to have it corrected, Calfa. I forgot to mention that on Elizabeth Calfa's birth record they have Isabella Elizabeth Calfa.
You two are a blessing to these people. You live rich full lives, but you always take time out of your lives to make sure these people aren’t forgotten. I pray that these people welcome you with open arms in the grace and light of heaven. May you always be blessed.
Hi, Ron! Thanks to you, Brittan and Deb for sharing the history of these long forgotten souls. The young man who passed in 1919 could be a WWI solider or a victim of the Spanish Influenza. You have to wonder how and why so many people died young back in the day.
Hi Ron... beautiful cemetery loved all the old photos and the headstones...sad people passed so young....the stories were very interesting to learn a bit about them....thanks to Britian and Deb also.... take care........ Deborah 🇨🇦
Amazing walk and storytelling. So informative and descriptive. Whoever did the research is so appreciated. I just loved the porcelains and never saw so many. Beautiful tribute! Thank you Ron😊
I always enjoy the old photos. Gives us a great way to look back in history. Cool to see Britton joined in the fun again he is full of knowledge. Thanks Ron
Thank you for the visit to Mt. Carmel, where many of my family members are buried. Your early visits to Mt. Carmel four years ago are what drew me to FOTF. Spent many great hours watching the channel ever since. Haven't missed an episode other than a couple that got taken down or live streams that had problems.
Loved this look and stroll at Mt Carmel with you and Brittan ❤ Fascinating to see the pictures and background of these departed souls. Thank you so much for taking us with Ron!!
Who is this Britain guy? He is so knowledgeable and has a great speaking voice.. I see the next generation of content creators. Thanks Ron for assisting this next generation. Wv
Ron, that was a beautiful video! Thank you all for taking us thru this peaceful place. I'm working, and I do insurance customer service.....and it's open enrollment.....so, I needed this. Be safe out there and have a wonderful weekend!!
Hi Ron! hi Brittan! nice to see you again Brittan. Nice video, it's sad that so many adults and children died so young. It's good to see you guys out there together. I enjoyed the video. Take care guys.
Always love watching you Ron and Brittan going thru the cemeteries and sharing stories. Reminds me of when I first started watching your videos years ago my friend!❤😊
The first porcelain with the revolving cover - beautiful. Murder bottles ... jeez whiz. I'll read up on that - what a horrible and useless way to die. This was an interesting walk - as always. There's always something new! Have a nice day. 🙂
I love doing what you are doing and I have done here on high street in Circleville ohio the head stones were remove and thrown Iverson the bank unto the creek and there are some old Ines there
I seen you were in new London Wisconsin ❤ my baby is buried in Shawano.. was a malpractice the doctor hurt her so severely in c section.. she only lived 10 months.. all her organs failed.. she was about to go on dialysis for her failed kidneys.. rip Rapunzel Tatiana

Interesting video again, been on vacation to Italy twice the Mafia was still active in those areas when you have dinner in a pizzeria were the waiters walk around with guns in there belts you dont complain about the food eh, and a bit off "protection"stuff going on aswel, our hotel was closed they did not pay, never a dull moment on vacation lol.
15:00 - Just a theory/thought; seeing that death of baby (Carmen) & mother (Concetta) were within a _few months_ of one another,...with baby passing in April, & mom,...in September, dare I suggest, the...."taboo word" of *SUE* , *ASIDE* ...for Concetta...!?!
I love these walks the most. They are so calming, just like when you walk over a cemetery by yourself.
LOVE THOSE OLD ITALIAN NAMES AND PICTURES, SUCH BEAUTIFUL ELEGANT GRAVE STONES.!!!!!!!!!
Porcelains are so cool. Makes the Graves personal.
My parents grew up on Taylor street & their parents come from Italy right Taylor street in Chicago. Our family still have our family home on Carpenter & Taylor street it’s been in our family for 125 years I love it good memories good memories 😊
the real deal...Chicagoans!!

Hi everyone! TY Ron
Great to see you and Britton today! I enjoy hearing about the people who passed before us.
Thank you for the visit to Mt. Carmel, where many of my family members are buried. Your early visits to Mt. Carmel four years ago are what drew me to FOTF. Spent many great hours watching the channel ever since. Haven't missed an episode other than a couple that got taken down or live streams that had problems.

Really good to see you and Brittan together again. Awesome walk.
I loved this tour. I liked to walk in the cemeteries when i lived in Chicago. I also loved looking at the porcelains. Thank you Ron & Britain.
"Salamo" is an Italian saying, it means "isolation until they die, death being certain.” The sickness of deep sleep
It was also the widow’s last name when she remarried
@@kywy1984That's confusing, I couldn't find any information saying he was ever married. Could you tell me your source of info?
@@StevenG222 it was her maiden name, not her name when she remarried. According to Ancestry Frank was married to Dominica Salamo.
Thanks, I couldn't find it on Ancestry when I looked again, but I did on Find a Grave! Appreciate the info..
Fun to have you & Brittan together exploring 👍. Keep up the good stories guys 👏😎.
Ron, that was a beautiful video! Thank you all for taking us thru this peaceful place. I'm working, and I do insurance customer service.....and it's open enrollment.....so, I needed this. Be safe out there and have a wonderful weekend!!
