    _________________________________________________________
    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.

    My father died 20 years ago at 48. My mother and him had been together 30 year's then. He wanted to be cremated and buried with Mom instead of being buried and us moving on in life and not being with her wherever life took us. Mother is now 67 and when it's time to bury her my daddy will be buried with her and his headstone will be with her's. ❤

      That is how we buried my mom and dad. Dad went first. Mom about 20 years later. All children and grandchildren sat under the trees, near my daddy's grave, waiting while they removed the grave slab. There was a space left on the grave stone, for mommy's name. Everything was so peaceful....then we buried mom's ashes with dad, held hands in a circle around the grave and said a prayer, thanking God for our parent's love. It was so special😢

It happened to my Grandfather and Grandmother (father's parents) they both passed away within 8 mounths of each other. You did a beautiful tribute to them Ron . Also right off the bat I did get your presidential trivia question right. I love it when you put those kind of questions or teasers in your stories.

    I think it so romantic - - I know that a famous Finnish-American female accordionist who died in 1958 had her ashes kept by her musician husband for the next 35 years [I know - he showed her ashes to me back in 1983.]. At his death in 1993, he was buried in a coffin holding/cradling in his arms - her urn. Together - forever. I hope to be able to do this with my female life partner.

    I absolutely love the epithet on the gravestone! May we all remember that our Lord created ONE FLESH, from which ALL of humanity descends! When we die we return to the dust from which we were created, and the dust sees not and heeds not skin color or “race”. The dust neither differentiates nor discriminates but embraces all who are reunited with it. While we still live we should strive to do as the dust does, never forgetting that our Creator loves and cherishes us equally.

      If not for the media always trying to keep the people divided by any means possible, with race being one of their number one tools of the trade, I think more of us than not do see beyond skin color. Of course, back in 1873, I'm sure there were quite a few racists running around, but even then the good Mayor is a glowing example that that was not the case for everyone.

    Beautiful story Ron. Sadly there is no pictures of them. He loved her unconditionally. I have no problem with this. Just imagine the ones we don't know and probally will never know. Today couples are more free to express thier love. Not just blacks and white but other races too. I don't judge anyone. It has happened in my own family. They was accepted and loved as such. It's sad how much hatred. Prejudice and racism there is. No racism and prejudice is not the same. Some hate thier own color and that's not racist. No mix marriage is not always accepted, still frowned upon. But back then when slavery was legal. There was no way would they have been allowed to marry. It was hidden. She could be his lover his servant, his slave, but not his wife. Many would of thought nothing of that because it was ok to bare the masters children. The slaves had no say. Frankly I don't think prejudice and racism is going to go away. Not in my lifetime. This man did not hide his love for this woman. Brave man. Braver still was the man who made sure they was buried together.👍👏👏👏another great vlog and story Ron. You keep surprising us.🙂.I look forward to your next video.

      Yes! My mother's side of the family originally came from historic Woodville Mississippi. Both sides of her family had mixed relationships. On her father's side were Jewish men falling in love with black women and having children. On her mom's side were Irish American men falling in love with black women. 😊

    I really enjoyed this story Ron. I’m glad you shared this story with us. It’s nice that Nancy got to be buried with William, the love of her life. It’s good that William’s friend carried out William’s wishes after his death. It’s sad that Nancy died of heartbreak though. I think that happened a lot back in those days, and it still happens today in our time. When you truly love someone and find your soulmate, the color of their skin should not come in the way of that. Love is love, regardless of race. It’s nice to know that William and Nancy didn’t let others come between their love for each other. A true romantic story of the 1800’s…💗
    Stay safe out there Ron.🙂💟
