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.

The evil that humans, in all colors, do to one another.
True, horrible!

@@laurab1089 your absolutely spot on, I always keep myself to myself because of the sheer nastiness people are capable of.
Nancy fought so hard to protect her children and has more balls than those warriors
who stood by and did nothing to help[except to laugh]. the little boy was also so brave, l wished that the outcome was different and the family survived. RIP to the Goucher family.🙁🙏
SAVE A BUFFALO!!DANCE WITH A WOLF!!😢😮😅😊
I never could understand why anyone then or now could ever hurt or kill a innocent child..its sickining..
The fact that they laugh while being so cruel. Says so much to me.
I would’ve never known about them. You’re helping keep their story alive.
Yeah I doubt Hollywood will make a movie about this.
That’s like most of the videos I watch of his
The stair's over the fence are called a stile in England.
In the US also
Of course you can’t do Upstate New York, but my ancestors were the first settlers along the Mohawk River in the 18th century. The men were away and the women were at home baking bread in an outdoor oven. The Indians descendent scalped many of the women. My ancestors hid in an abandoned well and were spared.
The Indians ate the bread with bloody hands.
Those days were so rough. It's amazing that anyone made it through to old age. What kind of monster would do that to children! Just horrible. I'm glad this family are all buried together. RIP ❤💐
That was very common among many tribes. Not all but they were the peaceful ones the Comanche raided and killed frequently. Weakness was not a virtue. I've run into a couple stories where the white women cut their hair to avoid being scalped. A nice flowing mane of blonde or red hair was a real trophy for your teepee or war lance or on your horse's mane.
Indians routinely raped women and girls. No such thing as a Noble Redman.
both sides did that. especially the "White" soldiers
As a native Texan, thank you for honoring this pioneering family.
Great history. Thank you for remembering these folks and their bravery. Thank you for sharing.
So kind of the owners to fence it off to protect it and to add the staircase over the fence. It was a sad story. Lots of hardships. Pioneers were a different kind of brave to go out in a strange and vast wilderness and never knowing what day would be their last due to weather, illness, injury, starvation, thirst, wildlife, or people. We have it so much more easy today due to technology and medicine.
P.S. The wildlife moment was perfect with the cow mooing. 😊
What a fantastic story of the early pioneers! I'm elder and lived ALL my life in Texas. My family also came here from Alabama around 1840. They settled close to where Abilene, Texas is located. They also had to fight the Comanche Indians. I LOVE the stories of the pioneers opening up the way for other to come and open the door for others. Texas was also fighting the Mexicans because Mexico still own this. I just want to thank you soon very much for these VERY exciting and interesting stories!
I am a native Texan, Austinite, and I have never heard this story. Thank you for keeping history alive.
Lived here most of my life, never heard this story.
Me too, which is surprising for me cause I’m a big history fan but texas truly has so much history its hard to follow
Thank you for shining a light on how settlers were also treated.
Thank you for sharing this story. I am a 6th generation Texan-my descendants arrived in Texas through Galveston, and settled very near this site, in Serbin, in the early 1850's. Even by then, there were accounts of Indian conflicts, and personal records from the Wendish settlers make mention of them.
I cant imagine the struggles they faced trying to establish families, homesteads and communities. I appreciate watching this!
Amazing story and you put a yellow Rose of Texas in their grave marker.🥰
Despite what paperback novels at the grocery store might say, there was nothing romantic about being captured by American Indians during that day and age.
True. Indians routinely raped the girls and women.
Despite what Hollywood shows if a woman doesn't like you grabbing her and forcing her to kiss you will cause her to swoon and surrender to you. The Comanche were defending their home. Mexico didn't colonize Texas because of the Comanche. Many captives were accepted into the tribe
What about this day & age? 🧐🤷🏽♂️
So very sad!! That poor mama watching her baby being thrown in the river……that just goes to show you how strong a mama can be when you mess with her babies!!
How this woman retained her sanity is a absolute miracle.
I have read some books about the pioneers (especially the stories written about women). The mens lives were hard but quite often the women's lives were harder. I am so happy, Ron, that not only do you mention the men in these stories but also the women and what they did. Thankyou.
Cowards who murder children are not warriors. Great story, though.👍
All races have murdered children , in all countries since the Dawn of time! We really have a problem and it's still happening
Your comment has a two-sided story, what happened to "settlers" happened to the Indigenous as well.
@@user-mm4rz8mk3e No it did not! Hollywood Indians are nothing like reality. And no, the White people did not kill children. Dancing with wolves is 100% FICTION!
@@user-mm4rz8mk3e Allow me to repeat what I said. "Cowards who murder children are not warriors." That tidbit applies to cowards in all sides.
@@user-mm4rz8mk3e and the iNdigenous tribes also did this to each other. they killed, raped and kidnapped tribal people in other tribes. and a man or woman who does this to a child is a coward and a demonic witch
Thank you for keeping their memory alive and helping us understand true history.
I've heard this. My maternal side is from Bastrop, Giddings, & McDade. A lot of colorful history; thanks for sharing this.
Notification on here in MT...can't wait! Welcome back Ron! we missed you!!
Man' s inhumanity to his fellow man ! Will it ever end....
I am glad some of my family kept good records. It's amazing what you can find when researching! My 5th great uncle has letters home from when he was migrating from Scotland to the US, and he wrote our family history, and his son also wrote an autobiography as a civil war veteran!
Thank you Ron for a very interesting story. So many tragic stories about the pioneers back then and also tragic stories of what we did to the Native Americans. It's stories like these Ron that remind us what our history in America back then was all about. Thank you for keeping it alive. As always be safe wherever your travels may lead you 💛☺ - Trish
right on Trish!!
@@FacesoftheForgotten Love the cow's "MOOooo" in the background, perfect acoustics for your surroundings...Loved it!! 😁😆
The Indians tell only one side and they didn't care who The Towanka Indian which I have family from WERE living very peaceful and happy here with the Spanish they were teaching the Indians and the Indians taught them she lived thru this fight the Comanche would come and Slaughter every one of them there are so many things that have been lied about and not told and so it's best if you don't get into argument though because none of us was there but the only reason I know is that this is for sure is because of my great-grandmother
Thanks for keeping history alive! Lest we never forget. Loving your channel in Arizona!
This story so reminds me of the story of Jenny Wiley, wife of Thomas Wiley in Kentucky, my home state. Her husband was out hunting with the other menfolk and she was alone in her cabin with their four children and her young brother-in-law when a mongrel tribe of Indians mistook her cabin for another family’s cabin way back in 1789. They killed all but her and her baby, and the child died later while they were in captivity. She escaped and made it home months later. There is a park in eastern Kentucky named for her.
Sad that all names were not placed on the grave headstone 😢.. Thank you Ron 🦘
Thank you Ron. It's very sad. I'm from South Africa and enjoy watching your channel especially if it's about American history. It's very interesting and we don't learn about that in our History classes.
The pioneers truly had balls!
indeed!!
@@FacesoftheForgotten I use to watch westerns in the 1950's and 1960's and they do not tell the real stories of this generation of people like you do sir. thank you. I always wonder how I would act but realize as I get older that we are a totally different group of people even compared to the generation of my parents who live through poverty, the depression and WWII. and to think of those who cross this country, no way would a lot of these people survive. we are to pampered and still act like children. sad. keep on with your stories. you have a gift
@@ChoctawNawtic4 Yes! 👏🏻👏🏻 They had to! ❤️💪🏻
People back then didn't have much of a choice, it was either be brave & fight to survive or not fight and die. They most definitely lived hard lives, nothing came easy back in those days. They are the definition of true pioneer's. I'm glad information like this can still be found on people of all those years ago. So much can be learned by how they lived and survived. It's so interesting.....🧐🙂
Keep yourself safe out there Ron.🙂💟
The Parkers (Parkers Fort) are some of my ancestors. Quannah Parker is my 7th cousin twice removed. It's a horrible time back then.
Wow interesting. My husband's name is Daniel Parker and he believes that he may be related to Quannah Parker.
@@Parker_World_Tv Ancestry is where I found a lot of info on the Parkers line. With the help of a couple of my aunts. There are rumors of being related to Bonnie Parker (Bonnie & Clyde). I have not really researched her yet. You can also look into Parkers Fort info on Google to find Parker names. Hope that helps you find out.
They was from Palestine Illinois.
@@smcdaniel9241 No such city
I took am related . My Dad was from East Texas. I have a copy of the Parker ancestry back to 1700's. Researched in Grapeland, Texas .
My many great grandmother and grandfather’s home was raided by 19 Delaware and the killed and scalped their 6 month old son then took my grandmother for 2 1/2 years and she was beaten repeatedly and then after a time she was given to 2 brothers to replace a sister that they had lost.
In KY, my grandmother's grandmother's parents were killed by Indians (NA) and the house was set on fire. She and her sister were hiding under the trundle bed so survived the attack. The neighbors saw the smoke and rescued them.
I’m from the uk.visited friends in Pennsylvania recently. Was intrigued by the story’s of the native Americans in that area. Would love to discover more on my return in 2026..love your channel.keep up the great content.
Thank you Ron for sharing, this is truly a heartbreaking story, stay safe out there.
Ron I could never thank you enough for all the info on the families you tell us about... Thank You Ron❤
This is a very sad but interesting story. 👍🏻
I'm part Cherokee and Blackfoot indian and I don't know much about my ancestors.
Thank you for sharing this story. I love the history of gravesites.
My mom was part Cherokee. But like you I don't really know much about that part of my family
@@maryford6934 I've been wanting to go through that ancestry website but it's so expensive.
Please learn about your ancestory because if you don't it will be forgotten. Pass it down to your children or other family members.❤
@@Nova_AvalonI'm trying to as much as I can. Thank you and I hope you had a great 4th! ❤️
Comanche were the most feared tribe.
I have always read & heard that with the history I seek out on TH-cam & books that I have read. All other tribes of Indians were victims of the Comanche too, with the little knowledge I’ve gained.
Imagine attempting to live your life in those days. With all the weather elements, warfare among the indigenous tribes, famine, disease, and outlaws. Everyday was a struggle. We today do not appreciate the time in our history by which we arrived. Thank you, ron for walking us through the story of the family. Be safe.
What a story. Horrific. There were terrible things done on both sides. What a time to live through. Thank you Ron. Really good to know the history. 😮
Remember the History of the pioneers. Thanks for bringing us all along Ron.
RIP to this family 😢, Thank you Ron for sharing the story...
The same thing happened to some ancestors of mine. We were unaware of their existence until last year when I did some research in our family tree. Only a few children survived and they were exchanged for some produce in the province of Québec. While the older children went back to where they lived before the attack, the younger one stayed with his new family and had a full life there.
Another unbearably sad story about massacres of pioneer folk. I question why I have this morbid fascination about this topic and I think it is acknowledging the bravery and courage of women pioneers and their indomitable spirit to survive. I know many came from England to go on wagon trains across the country and met similar deaths. Then I wonder how I would have coped but I guess we all wonder that. They were just ordinary people, not trained for what they were about to face. I thank you so much for telling us these stories. Were records kept? Does anyone know how many women lost their lives due to Indian attacks? Are we, the general public, able to access online if these records do exist? This goes both ways but I don't suppose anyone kept an account of Indian lives lost until much later. Many thanks again.
Great note Lynne, thanks
RIP Goucher family 🙏 I can't even imagine living in those days and going through that
So much tragedy back in the 1800s. I know it's history, but so hard to hear. May those courageous souls R.I.P.
Thankyou for bringing history to life !! The stories are intense and fascinating. Faces of the Forgotten is a quality channel!! 🤩🤩
What a story. Thank you for bringing us here.
Thank you for traveling to Texas. So much history here I still don't know about. I'm glad you gave the back story on how the woman fought and remarried. I love the yellow rose. Very nice of you.
Thank you. From Australia. Fantastic history lessons.
Sad story. Very interesting. Thankyou Ron. I love watching your videos. My husband is from texas. Hes part commanche and mexican American.
Thank you for the story behind these people, the grave is a wonderful dedication to them and thankfully survives. I do wonder what happened to the cabin they lived in, presumably rotted away but the grave is a real marker to this brave and pioneering family. RIP Folks.
Can’t believe they left without their weapons.
What people forget is those commanche lived way up in West Texas. They were like Viking raiders.
Rip Goucher family 🙏🙏😥..... ty for the story Ron ❤ Mary
Thank you for my Sunday history lesson. I truly enjoyed it can't wait for the next one.thank you.🇺🇸☮️🤠
I was thinking Ron the bodies of the family members must have turned to skeletons by the time they were found and they were put in that small grave area. That was a very bad story. One of my ancestors was scalped during the Revolutionary War by Mohawk natives. He lived but had to treat the open wound all the days of his life.
All in all after hearing this story it reminds me of the Nazis.
Omg! That’s an unbelievable story about that baby…how an earth he survived?…I wonder who was the person who see it and told about it first?
Thank you for bringing us this story Ron . You show such reverence when telling it. 😢😢
What horrific tragedy. Wow. Those poor children and family. Glad I'm in the here and now.
Hi there Ron a great story again about the American pioneers family trying to stay a live in them Days the poor people they had to put up with a lots of hard ship in them Days . I hope the law got them.all . and the pioneer family I hope they all R.I.P . Thanks Ron safe trip around a American mate
Such a sad story going back many years, such a brave mother who fought for her baby. So sad 😢 when children so young are killed. R.I.P. little ones 🙏🙏🙏 with your father.
Thank you so much Ron for these stories. The history of our country is sometimes very sad, but also inspiring and very important.
So pleased to have found your content !! Blessings to you for remembering our Pioneer's !!
As a family historian and amateur genealogist, I’m really enjoying these types of videos. Good stuff! 👏🏼❤️
That a big compliment, inspiring, Thank you.
Another great story, Ron. Thank you❣️
I am so very grateful for those pioneers. Most of what we have today is in great part to them blazing the trail for all of us. Such brave people, such harsh times.
Another great history lesson. No one tells them like you Ron. May they all Rest In Eternal Peace 💐💐
When was there a war were they did not kill children, a great but sad story, thnx Ron.
Wow, you never know, how sad.
Thanks Ron for sharing.😊
Brave people indeed,thank you for all the information.
B b but I thought native Americans were all sunshine and rainbows and nature loving hippies (my ancestry includes Shawnee and Powhatan , like my great grandparents not 8 generations back). The narrative that they were all peaceful is ridiculous.
I have Powhatan 13th great-grandparents. And I have Rice distant cousins who were taken to Canada, I can't remember the tribe.
Aww a busy working day gardening. A very well welcomed upload Ron Thanks much !! Now to enjoy it .. ❤🙏🏼
Thank you Ron. Great stories, looking forward to the next ones.
It is awful!
It is also unconscionable and awful how the indigenous people were treated throughout our history.. Sad and tragic all the way around.
I guess it depends on who’s telling the story. The winner gets to write the history.
Indeed. When the Whites won an Indian massacre, it was called a "BATTLE".
When the Whites lost, it was called a "MASSACRE".
Even at Wounded Knee, and at Sand Creek, they were called Battles.
No Battles. Indian men, women and children were slaughtered.
Yes, the winner gets to write the history....
Sickening.
What a story Ron. Very sad, but I admire you for telling these stories and paying homage to these people.
They were here when Texas was a Republic. My ancestors lived not far from where this happened. They were lucky and lived out their lives. This is such a sad story; may they rest in peace.
Thanks for sharing this Mr Ron ❤
Just popped up in my feed man. Love your work/efforts. Sub.
Welcome to our group 🌞
She showed so much heart saving her baby.
It's ironic that the yellow rose is the state flower of Texas. Thanks, Ron for another great story. 👍
My family arrived after this but we're Scandinavians so we'd have done the same thing anyways.
Bigger, faster, stronger and wiser is the game.
🇺🇲
The picture was heartbreakingly sad i really sensed their sadness. The sense of imminent terror.
They werent called savages for nothing. Before anyone gets mad at me for saying that...my family is part native. I was born and raised in Oklahoma and my grandpas family is from Talequah Oklahoma.
I understand what you mean. I'm part Cherokee and Blackfoot.
They were different time's, it can't have been easy for anyone living in those conditions.
My mother is 1/3 Comanche and it’s true. While proud of her native heritage she’s also ashamed at how brutal they could be. At the core we really are just feral animals.
Thanks for sharing!
Same
Thanks for leaving the roses!
Enjoy 100% of your videos! We've been watching since the beginning! Excellent story telling and every video is so interesting. We were so excited when we saw the episode a couple years ago when you were right by our home and you visited Woodbine, Illinois. 😊
Me too, I think there were about 50 people subscribed to Ron's channel when I subscribed. Been loving his channel since then...👍🏻😀
yes, and I was there twice. the warlock story, but way earlier I came there to film where Maria Ridulph's body was found in the woods there right off the highway. I used the drone. th-cam.com/video/HhIgwdbTWEg/w-d-xo.html
yes, Maria Ridulph was one of my first stories when I started up!
@@FacesoftheForgotten Yes! I've seen them both. 🩵
Awesome I’m excited to watch this one
thanks for sharing Ron 👍 Such a sad story. may James's and he's family rest in eternal peace 🕊️💐🕊️💐🕊️💐🕊️💐🕊️💐🕊️💐
Its so good to see you Ron!
Oh Ron! That Moo made my day. Such a sad story. Thanks for sharing ❤
This is why it irked me that I went to school where the name of our school was named after savage Indians: the Bonham Purple Warriors ( Bonham, Texas ). Unfortunately the high school kids were never asked what we wanted the name to be.
Such a sad story, even more tragic is that there’s so many more stories like this one. 😔🙏🏻🇺🇸
Enjoyed this story, Ron. Thank you kind sir. You are a great storyteller. God bless you, Beth. 😊👍
My great great grandfather “Henry H Baker” at one point was a TX Ranger, he is credited for killing a Comanche chief, he also took part in many battles, you can google his name, read the article,
Maybe you already have, I’m kinda new, but here’s a suggestion, please do a video about The Trail of Tears, you are good at what you do!
The Trail of Tears would certainly qualify as faces of the forgotten as well.
Thanks Ron, always enjoy your videos.
Never knew about the Crawford family massacre.
They were overshadowed by the saga of Cynthia Ann Parker.
I lived pretty much lived next door in Fayette County(Flatonia)from 1974-96 and I never knew about it.
Love history from that era. Looking forward to more from Colorado
Wow a well told story Ron u said it in dignity and told their lives how it was
