@@mikha007 Probably family or old friends of the family. When I lived in Missouri I knew a family who lived out in one of the rural areas south of Lake of the Ozarks (a little north of I-44) who had been on the same land -- a beautiful place, quite a few acres in the hills, with a pond -- since around the time of the Civil War.
I thought the same as Sonya Dean about the flowers on the grave. Such a sad story but life was cheap in those days. A lovely tribute and tastefully done. Thank you 🙏 RIP Parsons Family 🖤💙💙💙🖤
Wow those poor children watching their parents be killed ! It’s just all sad . You know, I think a lot about people that have gone before me. So many, their lives meant something. I often walk in cemeteries. I really like the tombstones that have their photos on them. I look at them and I think they were alive once ….. and I wonder what their lives were like. Their lives had significance …. Now they are forgotten . I visit my ancestors graves a lot . I think about their lives too . Thank you for just allowing us to remember them .
Sadly the kind of respect you have for the ones who were here before us is uncommon these days. Especially among the younger people. I too love to walk in old cemeteries near and around where I live now and where I was raised as a child. So much history lays there. They say those who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it. I only hope that those who were murdered like the family in this video were able to maybe stop someone else from loosing their temper and killing some one else's family.
It's been a long time since I visited a graveyard, but I plan on doing more as my health allows it. I do a lot of genealogy research for my family and I'd like to go see the graves of those that I read about. Yes, it's so strange to think about those who have passed before. They're just like you and me. They lived their lives, loved and faced death. Every one of them have stories and I hope to meet many of them in heaven one day. The respect I feel for them now -- I'll carry that in my heart and it helps me to remember that we're not promised tomorrow. Live each day like it's your last.
Wow, I'm related to the family, on my father's side. I had heard whispers, but no one talked about it. I hope they are resting in peace now. Thank you for putting this together.
I own a piece of land about 4 miles away from Cantrell Cemetery. I will have to visit this cemetery on my way to my vacation/hunting/fishing property this spring.
Thank you for taking us along. Much appreciated and so sad. When I was a teenager of 16, I took a job watching 7 children aged 13 years to 13 months. Their parents were estranged but one very late night the husband came over drunk, making threats to all of us. I was so scared!! I did not tell my parents because I was so attached to those children. They had an old camper that we played in and even slept in one night. The mother worked in a bar in Ross, OH and was a little shady. The husband left that night taking the camper. We all fell asleep but early the next morning were awakened by police at the door telling us that the father had put a pipe on the exhaust and had killed himself!! I felt so badly for those kids!!!. I called my parents and went home that same day. I am now 67 years old and think about that night still when that poor man was threatening and pleading to come home. I often wonder what happened to those sweet children. Thanks for letting me vent and God bless you sir.

Minnie Parsons was my grandfather’s sister. Several years ago I tried to do research on this story. I was unable to find much information. Thank you for posting this.
You should look up historic newspapers from the area. I am sure that they contain plenty of information. If the newspapers are not on the internet, you could probably get microfilm from local library. Murder then and now attracts attention.
Look through Ancestry, Family search and My graves. There are other genealogy sites. I just can't remember them. My parents are working on both of their lines.

A wonderful tribute to this family! Such a horrible event. If justice was served like that nowadays, crime would be minimum. I love the drone footage. Just beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing their story!!!
The father knew that saddle was stolen, then bought it with a faulty shotgun. He sure paid for that promptly. His family deserved better. The wife looks even tempered and the children were so cute!
I had seen that picture before online too and I wondered if the whole family died in an accident. Know we all know that they were murdered. I can't help but think, "If only the father hadn't tried to buy that saddle."
I saw that story online,I recognised the photo of the dead family,but the story was different ,it said that the father had sold the young man his property and the family was ready to leave the area,but the young man did not want to pay for the property so he killed them all, that story really moved and grieved me.
Well kept for how old and remote the cemetery is. Really sad story. Anger in the moment can cost others so much . Thank you for remembering this family.
I truly appreciate the manner in which you presented this horrific tragedy. No crazy music, graphics, or extraneous details. You honored and respected this family with your words.
Watching your videos taught me about the photos that are on stones. When I visited the cemetery a couple weeks ago, I saw one stone that had the metal cover over the picture. I was in awe of the beautiful black and white picture of a couple that I saw once I opened it, and showed my boyfriend. We took some time to look and think about them. Thank you for teaching me about the photos, I wouldn't have known otherwise. Great video, like always.
Everybody has a story, just as we all do, too. Ron has extended our passion in a cemetery by stopping at a gravestone, viewing the picture of the deceased, read the born-death dates and our hunt turns into wonder, a vital key to learning.
@@lindahh798 Have you ever read the book " Frankie Silver" her husband was buried in three graves. A controversial issue in the Laws in North Carolina and one of the best books you'll ever read.
The head injury you described for Jody is a real factor in his murders. Brain damage can affect personality and anger issues may become apparent. Usually there is no impulse control for the anger. Very sorry for this family, who did not deserve their fate. A tragedy. RIP.
With his father’s issues and the head injuries, I got a weird vibe with all the accounts of him hanging out and giving gifts to the kids around him. When a grown man pays so much attention to children is always a red flag for me.
@@pammckim493 Or, it could just have been that he was trying to not be like his father. He and his siblings were scared to death of the father. Could it be possible that he just didn't want to be like that around kids? Breaking the cycle, as we would call it today. It also sounds like his anger issues stemmed from the two mule kicks that he took.
Watching at almost 3am from the UK. Your video's are always worth staying up for. RIP to the Parsons family. Heartbreaking to see the little one's like that.
Two men who refuse to control their tempers. One harassing the other because of envy and greed and the other with a ruthless temper. Beyond sick. This guy should not be considered a Christian just because he attended church. Standing in a garage and calling yourself a car does not make you one. You shall know them by their fruits.
A very good point Patricia. Actually Carney must’ve had a temper also, and you have to imagine that they were both really going at it verbally. I’m sure Carney had said some unspeakable things, probably hurling insults, and it’s sad because he would of course have no idea what this Jodie Hamilton was capable of.
Well my father was Native American that like drink and fight. I aways thought that he would die in a bar fight in South America. And that sorted happen. He got into a poker game and won alot of money. The guy that lost was not happly they was fighting and someone came up behind him and hit him in the back of the head with beer bottle. He almost bleed out He lived, but in South America they don't test the blood 85 %is tainted. He didn't want to know so he was test ed. But he lived about 8 years after that. He lived to be almost to 75. Smoke 3 to 4 packs of cigarettes a day. Started smoking at the age of10. And he to had a very bad temper
That mule kick rattled his brain. Same here in UK, Fred West in 1959, aged 18,..he went flying forwards off his motorbike in a collision. He was not wearing a crash helmet. Further damage to his brain occurred a year later when he was sent flying down a flight of metal stairs and again banged his head. He was prone to violent fits of temper thereafter. He was responsible for the Cromwell Street murders.
I had seen the photograph as well of the slain family and wondered about their sad ending. Thank you for the story and the respect you've paid to them. Enjoyed the music and the drone scenery. Nicely done.
Such a tragic end to the lives of the Parson family. The horror the children saw before their death. I admire and appreciate you taking us on these journeys to tell the stories of the forgotten. Thank you.
There’s something so humble in what you do:) remembering the stories of those who we have lost. It feels very interconnected, remembering other humans to help us understand ourselves:)
For such a heinous crime Justice indeed was served! The drone footage, was interesting. I actually felt like I was on a cloud riding to our next stop. Great job.
Loved the pairing of the drone and the music, and the drone ascending down into the cemetery, really gives you the feeling of forboding sadness. Wonderful episode. Stay safe in your travels.
I love your true storytelling. It really feels like I’m walking along with you. It’s wonderful to find a place with so many people who, like me, are not afraid but interested in graveyards and the stories they hold. I discovered a family plot in the middle of nowhere on a camping trip that I would love to know the history of here in SC.
Binge watching your episodes, I never knew anyone else was interested in graveyards like me, I was always made to feel different because of it. Thank you!
That truly was a tragic story. Upon studying the brain, research has shown repeatedly that severe blows or even one severe blow to the head can cause injury to the brain which nine times out of 10 always results in a change of personality which unfortunately , results in lack of emotional regulation which results in rage. So tragic for everyone involved and those small children! Hard to imagine what people go through 😥
@@cikosphysicaltherapist6017 It is. A lot of serial killers have trauma that changed them in childhood. Many were head injuries due to either abuse or just accidents. Of course other things factor in too. But I think the accident from the donkey and his father shaped who he became.
I remember reading about this a few years back. Very sad story. Heartbreaking that a whole family was wiped out like that, especially the little children. Thanks, Ron. Nice to see their resting place.
This is my second comment on your videos. While they are tragic stories, it is such a tribute to these departed souls to keep their memories and stories alive. Again, these are sad, but I enjoy these videos very much because you tell the stories with dignity, respect and sympathy. I appreciate again your easy speaking style and the respect you have for these people in your stories. Thank you for sharing their stories with us!
You know, you see all these old postmortem photos on the internet that have become rather iconic, but you never know who these people were, how they died, what were their stories. Thank you for letting us know who these people were. It’s such a sad, tragic story, especially for the children. And then for someone to make a profit off selling that photo… People were pretty twisted back then, making a buck off such a tragic event. But I’m glad that we now know them and that they will be remembered. That’s what keeps people alive, really, is being remembered.
People have always been twisted. From profiting from 9/11, to stealing Covid money to that recent murder spree at Glacier National Park by a disgruntled boyfriend.
We found a family at a cemetery who had also died, all on the same day. When we got home and googled the year and the area, we found that it was a tornado that had killed the family (and several others in the town).
@@irishcountrygirl78 that made my day. But I always visit those old cemeteries in the ozarks when I visit friends and wonder what stories are under those tombstones.
I haven't watched for quite a while . I've been battling cancer for the last year things are not going to well for me ,I'm glad I came across this vlog,I love hearing all the stories you research.Jackie from co Clare Ireland.🙋🙋
Jackie, wishing you all the best. I have Jesus in my heart, He loves you beyond comprehension. Hope you have Him in your heart too. I'm here if you need to talk about it. Prayers and love.
Great job telling the story in a calm, thorough manner (loved the pipe). I also loved the drone images, and who can forget the beautiful Bluegrass music. Looking forward to your next story.
I've lived in missouri all my life... middle. We've floated and fished The Piney. I have never heard about this tragedy. How very sad! Thank you for teaching us our History. Oh and for remembering this poor family.
Oh Ron!! I am SO happy you’ve told the story of this family!! I also have seen this photo and always wondered what the backstory was. I knew they were all dead in the photo (you can kinda tell), but never knew how or why. TY so much for filling us all in!!! 🥶❄️🌨
I am so happy I found this channel ! I am a new sub and have been enjoying your great story telling since yesterday. As a child, you would find me sitting quietly by the adults listening to their stories while other children played. I remember my grandma brushing her long silver hair while reminiscing of olden days. Often she would seat out in the porch and gaze longingly far away over the fields and mountains, eyes twinkling like a light bug. I knew a good, almost magical, moment of storytelling was about to commence. Country words spoken like an erudite. Gosh, I miss her.
I too had seen online the photograph of the family laid out on the bed but never knew the terrible story associated with it. I always wondered. I hope they are all at peace and together. Thank you sir for telling us the sad story behind the image.
Its good that you did a tribute to this family . So sad the way they died especially those little boys. The only comfort is that they are all together. I love the drone music and your wooden smoking pipe. 👍👍❤❤
I absolutely adore the music. Violin/fiddle🎻, banjo, bass, being played so gentle and respectfully. You could hear the melancholy & lonely Irish melody. This man has great taste. A good soul. Thank you Sir for bringing the dark to the light. 🙏🏻
I’ve heard injury to the head in children in the frontal lobe that deals with controlling emotions and choosing between right and wrong plays a big part in adult murders. We as a society have to keep an eye on this injuries and get children help when they are exhibiting ‘bad’ behavior. Not shaming or rejecting these children so that they can get help before something awful like this happens. Great content
Actually anyone with a TBI, open or closed, organic or via mechanism are very mean. They can switch like a light switch. And just that easy. Sweet one minute and biting, scratching, punching,kicking the next.
I suffered brain injury to three parts of my brain due to a horrific auto accident. It had taken me over 5 yrs to recover. I know how a head injury can change you.
@@raefarnsworth4278 You are making a general statement. Everyone’s brain injury is different. The rage happens when you are in the hospital or nursing home. It’s a very frightening time, I can get into why, but there are many reasons. For some of us it takes a shorter amount of time to get our emotions under control. For others in can take a much longer time.And not all of us experience anger at all. Overall it’s hard to keep our emotions in check, but you can say that about a lot of people.
Thank you for remembering the Parson family. Sad, sad story.... Brings to mind a rash of axe murders in the Midwest in the early 1900's, some of which I'm sure many are familiar with. The music was very fitting for the atmosphere, well done! Looking forward to the next stop on your journey!
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 yes she was from Fall Rivers Massachusetts and never left this town. After her trial and acquittal, I think she ended up living in a different house with her sister and remained there after her sister passed, where she remained largely a recluse until her own death in 1927.
I used to live in Licking for a short time and have heard the story. You did a beautiful job telling it. I lived on Highway 32 and also Split Limb Road. My ex inlaws still live in Licking, Raymondville and Houston. Thank you for what you do. Stay safe!
Thank you for sharing this story. It broke my heart seeing how small the Children were. It's just a sad story of a young family. It was sad as well for Jody, losing his mother at age 5 and being kicked twice by mules (once in the head) we don't really know how that could have affected him, plus having a father your scared of. Makes me appreciate how blessed my life is. Love your stories and appreciate the respect you give to both sides.
@@Lovinlife1234 Up here in British Columbia, several years ago, guy was found in a deep lake, near the bottom. He'd gone missing in the early eighties, and he was still in recognizable condition. There's also the guy who was shot and put into an old cistern, which was then covered over with concrete and had something like a brickwork flower bed built on top. He was also found in astonishingly good condition.
Your heart is invested in each and every story. I loved the music you chose for editing. You're the best person to honor this family for us. Thanks for taking us along through these stories on your journey.
Wow, You just get better and better. The story is tragic but remembering them means they are not forgotten. Love the fly in. You choice of music was wonderful. That being said, "I'm In".🙃😊
As tragic as this story is, I guess it’s best that they all passed away together. I can’t imagine how afraid the little ones were to have had to watch their parents be killed and then to experience it themselves. Some people are just demonic and I think this man was, to hurt innocent little children. 😩
@@amitisshahbanu5642 oh I’m sorry I thought it was his “religious nut” father’s fault??? Even though I heard nothing about the children being abused…it’s true his frontal lobe could’ve been damaged which leads to temper & impulse control issues & judgement impairment…but seriously you sound ridiculous after your last comment when you had no factual backing for your allegations…
@@amitisshahbanu5642 you are correct. that type of head injury now is called Traumatic Brain Injury". This type of injury can cause aggressive anger among other things. For anyone that is interested look it up. I am an RN and had my "Traumatic Brain Injury Certification". This is a very sad injury.
That's so sad, this video has to be the saddest one you've done so far Ron. I don't know how anyone could hurt children like that. Those poor babies didn't do anything to deserve that. That boy got what he deserved. I love watching the drone shots in these video's, getting to see the places your doing the video's at from way up high is really cool. Stay safe on your travels Ron. I'm looking forward to the next video on your trip.
@@lynnharrell9598 I had always heard stemming from the wild west times that if one survived a hanging they were let go! Whether this practice ever became state laws I don't know! Since America got many of its judicial practices from England I assumed the practice of releasing the condemned who survived hangings came from the Uk and was enshrined into English law? So I was surprised when Betty was rehung!
Great story details I had not heard before. Well done again sir! RIP Parsons family. A good pipe or a good cigar and a snowy day in a cemetery. A great way to relax and reflect.
The US has carried out well over 60 million abortions since the 1970s. They now abort up to full term - at 9 months, and even during birth. Full term babies! We should weep with horror and shame for what we've done.
Wow, seen that picture quite a bit on the internet, always wondered about how that family passed due to all the noticeable injuries. Now I know, very sad indeed. Thank you very much, prayers and blessings, stay safe all
I really wanted to make sure I didn’t miss this tonight! This is such a sad story !!! Murder alone is really hard for me to understand sometimes but murder of children and babies is beyond comprehension of ANY kind. You did a fantastic job in this one Ron, as always. Really love your narration and story times. Keep up the great work.
This is a great channel. Excellent photography. The raconteurship here is superb, fitting, honest, and respectful. I think most of all I enjoyed the great music track while watching.
Love how you tell these stories with such heart and caring I can feel how much you really care!! By the way my favorite Christmas gift was a Faces of the Forgotten coffee mug from my best friend! I think about you every time I have a cup of coffee! Love your videos!!☕️☕️
I read about this as soon as you posted the photo on instagram Ron, sorry, I couldn't wait till today. Very sad story for that whole family being innocent victims to such a horrific incident, and those small children, their lives were just beginning. I just cant understand how people can viciously harm others like that. So sad 🙁 As always be safe on your travels wherever they may take you Ron..😊
He was 24 when he married his wife Minnie she was 15. Before they became share croppers he made railroad ties so did his father Soloman. Such an awful story. My family was in Texas County when all this took place.
back in the day of marriage wasn't nothing but a number but ; now it's a number that will give you JAIL time...... my husband was 6 years older than me I was only 16 and we stayed married til death due us apart.... BACK THEN AGE WAS NOTHING BUT A NUMBER NOW ; THEY CRY RAPE SEXUAL HARASSMENT SEXUAL MISCONDUCT ANYTHING TO PUT A MAN IN JAIL.......RIGHT SHE WAS ONLY 15 AND HE WAS IN HIS EARLY 20'S. AND IN LOVE DIEING TOGETHER.... BUT YET ; THESE DAYS IT'S CALLED RAPE....
Society accepted anyone under 18 is not able to give consent to sex though. When you are decreed mentally unfit to make choices, others will make them for you.
This was done so well. I feel like you truly honored the family, and even showed respect to the murderer, as justice was served. It’s terrible what happened to this family. The fact that they entered Heaven together, is of comfort. I really enjoy this channel, and appreciate the work you put into your videos.
Such a tragedy! 🙏 A neighbor of mine got a very bad head injury from a car wreck and wasn't the same afterwards. He was good natured, but after the accident he began having bouts of anger and it was impossible to know what would set him off. Sometimes he'd stew awhile, or minutes to days, then verbally attack. Unable to trust him, we stayed clear of him and I wonder if Jodie's accident effected him the same. A brain injury that caused a short circuit. Several years later my neighbor was in another car "accident" driving over 100mph into a building, but I suspect he killed himself because as time went by his condition worsened. Thank you for an interesting, albeit horribly sad, story. May they all be at peace. 🙏
I saw this picture on a post mortem and the narrator said it was a murder-suicide. Glad to learn the truth. So sad. Great video and you give voice to those lost to time
When I first saw that photo it reminded me a murder/suicide in my town about 30 years ago. A man known to be violent to his wife killed his whole family and placed the wife’s body along with the children’s bodies in a bed together. Then he lied in the bed and lulled himself. ⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️👰♀️👩🍼👶🧒🔫💪🛏💀🪦
Lovely cemetery and memorial. It’s interesting how one becomes set on telling the stories of the dead after they’ve had to grieve themselves. What a beautiful way to honor these families. I like to imagine spirits listening to you tell the tale of their lives.
This is such a great opportunity to bring the past back to life, these people,simple,Hardworking, and also economically challenged. Great incite without any dragged out narration, Well done. Anyone could sympathize with such a senseless and tragic experience. Well, not too different from today's culture, just materials that changed.

The head injury you described for Jody is a real factor in his murders. Brain damage can affect personality and anger issues may become apparent. Usually there is no impulse control for the anger. Very sorry for this family, who did not deserve their fate. A tragedy. RIP.
@@crisrose521 I would hope the murderer would think twice about killing an entire family and the children, who he had no quarrel with. geeze.
@@KindCountsDeb3773 not if you're crazy .
@@crisrose521 yes. Parsons was equally as guilty
With his father’s issues and the head injuries, I got a weird vibe with all the accounts of him hanging out and giving gifts to the kids around him. When a grown man pays so much attention to children is always a red flag for me.
@@pammckim493 Or, it could just have been that he was trying to not be like his father. He and his siblings were scared to death of the father. Could it be possible that he just didn't want to be like that around kids? Breaking the cycle, as we would call it today. It also sounds like his anger issues stemmed from the two mule kicks that he took.
Watching at almost 3am from the UK. Your video's are always worth staying up for.
RIP to the Parsons family. Heartbreaking to see the little one's like that.
thanks Ann, that is one big compliment, inspiring, ty again!
I am watching it at this at 2:58 in the morning Niagara Falls
London here
Liverpool UK here ,always remember the people that have passed,so many don't.
Worcestershire here. 4 May 2024. Such a sad story. What a peaceful cemetery. May they all rest in peace.
These stories take time between gathering facts and showing us the actual places it all happened. Great job.
SO VERY TRUE
"TIME AND MONEY"
WE MUST NOT FORGET PATIENT AND I'M SURE NONE OF THIS COMES EASY....
Two men who refuse to control their tempers. One harassing the other because of envy and greed and the other with a ruthless temper. Beyond sick. This guy should not be considered a Christian just because he attended church. Standing in a garage and calling yourself a car does not make you one. You shall know them by their fruits.
A very good point Patricia. Actually Carney must’ve had a temper also, and you have to imagine that they were both really going at it verbally. I’m sure Carney had said some unspeakable things, probably hurling insults, and it’s sad because he would of course have no idea what this Jodie Hamilton was capable of.
@@michaelportone2915 - oh boy another troll. You’re like a mosquito, every once in a while one buzzes over here. So you know what I have to do. …
@@FacesoftheForgotten
So true I agree with your every word.....
some people are not even people but they had to be called something.....right
Well my father was Native American that like drink and fight. I aways thought that he would die in a bar fight in South America. And that sorted happen. He got into a poker game and won alot of money. The guy that lost was not happly they was fighting and someone came up behind him and hit him in the back of the head with beer bottle. He almost bleed out He lived, but in South America they don't test the blood 85 %is tainted. He didn't want to know so he was test ed. But he lived about 8 years after that. He lived to be almost to 75. Smoke 3 to 4 packs of cigarettes a day. Started smoking at the age of10. And he to had a very bad temper
That mule kick rattled his brain.
Same here in UK, Fred West in 1959, aged 18,..he went flying forwards off his motorbike in a collision.
He was not wearing a crash helmet. Further damage to his brain occurred a year later when he was sent
flying down a flight of metal stairs and again banged his head. He was prone to violent fits of temper
thereafter. He was responsible for the Cromwell Street murders.
I had seen the photograph as well of the slain family and wondered about their sad ending. Thank you for the story and the respect you've paid to them. Enjoyed the music and the drone scenery. Nicely done.
Such a tragic end to the lives of the Parson family. The horror the children saw before their death. I admire and appreciate you taking us on these journeys to tell the stories of the forgotten. Thank you.
There’s something so humble in what you do:) remembering the stories of those who we have lost. It feels very interconnected, remembering other humans to help us understand ourselves:)
For such a heinous crime Justice indeed was served! The drone footage, was interesting. I actually felt like I was on a cloud riding to our next stop. Great job.
Loved the pairing of the drone and the music, and the drone ascending down into the cemetery, really gives you the feeling of forboding sadness. Wonderful episode. Stay safe in your travels.
Interesting story and great job.
Rest In Peace Parsons Family.
I agree, it has the feel of a movie too. A good movie.
Who plays the music? Beautiful
I love your true storytelling. It really feels like I’m walking along with you. It’s wonderful to find a place with so many people who, like me, are not afraid but interested in graveyards and the stories they hold. I discovered a family plot in the middle of nowhere on a camping trip that I would love to know the history of here in SC.
Binge watching your episodes, I never knew anyone else was interested in graveyards like me, I was always made to feel different because of it. Thank you!
You’re among alot of company!! 😊
@@KimberlyLew Thank you!
Me too. There r lots of us. Cemetery-not connected to a church. Grave Yard-connected to a church. I'm pretty sure that's how it goes! I love them all!
It's so fascinating it's history toox
So am I. I don’t feel like I’m weird now because I’m interested in graveyards. And especially older graves.
That truly was a tragic story. Upon studying the brain, research has shown repeatedly that severe blows or even one severe blow to the head can cause injury to the brain which nine times out of 10 always results in a change of personality which unfortunately , results in lack of emotional regulation which results in rage. So tragic for everyone involved and those small children! Hard to imagine what people go through 😥
Sounds like CTE, which we know effects many US football players.
@@cikosphysicaltherapist6017 It is. A lot of serial killers have trauma that changed them in childhood. Many were head injuries due to either abuse or just accidents. Of course other things factor in too. But I think the accident from the donkey and his father shaped who he became.
Agreed
Usually the frontal lobe, yes. They can become completely different people.
Oh so that's my problem after so many accidents and I thought that I was just heartless and I can care less about what happens to others. 🤔
I remember reading about this a few years back. Very sad story. Heartbreaking that a whole family was wiped out like that, especially the little children.
Thanks, Ron. Nice to see their resting place.
This is my second comment on your videos. While they are tragic stories, it is such a tribute to these departed souls to keep their memories and stories alive.
Again, these are sad, but I enjoy these videos very much because you tell the stories with dignity, respect and sympathy. I appreciate again your easy speaking style and the respect you have for these people in your stories. Thank you for sharing their stories with us!
You know, you see all these old postmortem photos on the internet that have become rather iconic, but you never know who these people were, how they died, what were their stories. Thank you for letting us know who these people were. It’s such a sad, tragic story, especially for the children. And then for someone to make a profit off selling that photo… People were pretty twisted back then, making a buck off such a tragic event. But I’m glad that we now know them and that they will be remembered. That’s what keeps people alive, really, is being remembered.
People have always been twisted. From profiting from 9/11, to stealing Covid money to that recent murder spree at Glacier National Park by a disgruntled boyfriend.
Yes, people were twisted then, is right! That’s horrible to sell photos of the murdered & make money off it. 😔🙏🏻
People are still twisted.
Thanks for making this awesome video about my distant cousins. It's so tragic what happened to them. 💔
What a horrific story.
May they RIP.
Thank you for the nice tribute to the Parson family whose lives were cut too short.
We found a family at a cemetery who had also died, all on the same day. When we got home and googled the year and the area, we found that it was a tornado that had killed the family (and several others in the town).
How sad and tragic. All gone together. We don't have tornadoes here, l could only imagine the fear.
Interesting in the stories that lie in cemeteries,if only they could talk
@@arthurbrumagem3844 l tell ya, if they did start talkin you'd see only the dust I'd leave behind me 🤣🤣🤣
@@irishcountrygirl78 that made my day. But I always visit those old cemeteries in the ozarks when I visit friends and wonder what stories are under those tombstones.
@@arthurbrumagem3844 l know, me too, they are centuries old here.
I haven't watched for quite a while . I've been battling cancer for the last year things are not going to well for me ,I'm glad I came across this vlog,I love hearing all the stories you research.Jackie from co Clare Ireland.🙋🙋
Sorry to hear, Jackie. Hope things turn around for you!
get better Jackie! beat it, you will.
Jackie, wishing you all the best. I have Jesus in my heart, He loves you beyond comprehension. Hope you have Him in your heart too. I'm here if you need to talk about it. Prayers and love.
HEY JACKIE.. IT AINT OVER TILL " GOD ALMIGHTY " SAYS ITS OVER.. STAND STRONG GIRL.. NOTHING IS IMPOSSABLE WITH GOD XO
I pray things get better for you. I myself am fighting cancer. May God bless you with a positive recovery and long life.
Great job telling the story in a calm, thorough manner (loved the pipe). I also loved the drone images, and who can forget the beautiful Bluegrass music. Looking forward to your next story.
I am from Missouri and that story was told all over the hills. I remember my grandfather telling me the story when we were milking the cows.
My family is from that area.. my dad's dad parents were murdered by raiders.
Great story Ron! So sad for those little children. May they all rest in peace.
I've lived in missouri all my life... middle. We've floated and fished The Piney. I have never heard about this tragedy. How very sad! Thank you for teaching us our History. Oh and for remembering this poor family.
Oh Ron!! I am SO happy you’ve told the story of this family!! I also have seen this photo and always wondered what the backstory was. I knew they were all dead in the photo (you can kinda tell), but never knew how or why. TY so much for filling us all in!!! 🥶❄️🌨
I am so happy I found this channel ! I am a new sub and have been enjoying your great story telling since yesterday. As a child, you would find me sitting quietly by the adults listening to their stories while other children played. I remember my grandma brushing her long silver hair while reminiscing of olden days. Often she would seat out in the porch and gaze longingly far away over the fields and mountains, eyes twinkling like a light bug. I knew a good, almost magical, moment of storytelling was about to commence. Country words spoken like an erudite. Gosh, I miss her.
Glad you found us, welcome to the gang!
I was the same way. Children can learn so much from the old folks, if they'd just stop long enough to listen
Thank you for sharing. It was so sad, but you gave that family a place in history so they are not forgotten. 😢
The babies were adorable such a sad story thanks for the tour really appreciate it Ron.🙏🏻🇺🇸👮🏻♂️
I too had seen online the photograph of the family laid out on the bed but never knew the terrible story associated with it. I always wondered. I hope they are all at peace and together. Thank you sir for telling us the sad story behind the image.
I saw this image from the movie The Proposition, an Australian Western.
Its good that you did a tribute to this family . So sad the way they died especially those little boys. The only comfort is that they are all together. I love the drone music and your wooden smoking pipe. 👍👍❤❤
I absolutely adore the music. Violin/fiddle🎻, banjo, bass, being played so gentle and respectfully. You could hear the melancholy & lonely Irish melody. This man has great taste. A good soul. Thank you Sir for bringing the dark to the light. 🙏🏻
I’ve heard injury to the head in children in the frontal lobe that deals with controlling emotions and choosing between right and wrong plays a big part in adult murders. We as a society have to keep an eye on this injuries and get children help when they are exhibiting ‘bad’ behavior. Not shaming or rejecting these children so that they can get help before something awful like this happens. Great content
Nicely said
Actually anyone with a TBI, open or closed, organic or via mechanism are very mean. They can switch like a light switch. And just that easy. Sweet one minute and biting, scratching, punching,kicking the next.
I suffered brain injury to three parts of my brain due to a horrific auto accident. It had taken me over 5 yrs to recover. I know how a head injury can change you.
@@joycecoletta7699 , wish you the best . Be praying for you .
@@raefarnsworth4278 You are making a general statement. Everyone’s brain injury is different. The rage happens when you are in the hospital or nursing home. It’s a very frightening time, I can get into why, but there are many reasons. For some of us it takes a shorter amount of time to get our emotions under control. For others in can take a much longer time.And not all of us experience anger at all. Overall it’s hard to keep our emotions in check, but you can say that about a lot of people.
Thank you for remembering the Parson family. Sad, sad story.... Brings to mind a rash of axe murders in the Midwest in the early 1900's, some of which I'm sure many are familiar with.
The music was very fitting for the atmosphere, well done! Looking forward to the next stop on your journey!
great note ty Sandra 😊
There's a book called The Man from the Train. It goes over who did it and stories of his victims. It's about those axe murders.
The bloody benders are just west of Parsons ks. May or May not be how I ended up here on the tube....
Was Lizzie Borden from the Midwest?
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 yes she was from Fall Rivers Massachusetts and never left this town. After her trial and acquittal, I think she ended up living in a different house with her sister and remained there after her sister passed, where she remained largely a recluse until her own death in 1927.
Such a needless tragedy! It's hard to understand why someone would annihilate a whole family. Just so sad
I used to live in Licking for a short time and have heard the story. You did a beautiful job telling it. I lived on Highway 32 and also Split Limb Road. My ex inlaws still live in Licking, Raymondville and Houston. Thank you for what you do. Stay safe!
I lived in licking now in Houston MO. My first time hearing this.
People back in the day dealt out justice swiftly.
Thank you for sharing this story. It broke my heart seeing how small the Children were. It's just a sad story of a young family. It was sad as well for Jody, losing his mother at age 5 and being kicked twice by mules (once in the head) we don't really know how that could have affected him, plus having a father your scared of. Makes me appreciate how blessed my life is. Love your stories and appreciate the respect you give to both sides.
I find it rather amazing that the family was still presentable enough to photograph after spending time in the river.
Probably because of the frigid freezing icey weather like the guy says it was probably was..that will postpone the deterioration...
@@Lovinlife1234 Up here in British Columbia, several years ago, guy was found in a deep lake, near the bottom. He'd gone missing in the early eighties, and he was still in recognizable condition. There's also the guy who was shot and put into an old cistern, which was then covered over with concrete and had something like a brickwork flower bed built on top. He was also found in astonishingly good condition.
Your heart is invested in each and every story. I loved the music you chose for editing. You're the best person to honor this family for us. Thanks for taking us along through these stories on your journey.
I agree. I don't know how I stumbled upon this channel, but I can't stop watching now.

Gotta love it ❤
Love the Summary and the mention of the musicians. Class Act! Great job Ron and Crew, another Faces (not) Forgotten.
Thanks for this bit of history. I also am drawn to obscure graveyards and find myself pondering the lives of these people.
So sweet that people still remember them with flowers 🌹
The Snowtown murders are the creme de la creme of murders .
Worse killing of all time.

😳 Omg, just seeing the little broken bodies is enough to make you 😢…..Will be tuning in!
Wow, You just get better and better. The story is tragic but remembering them means they are not forgotten. Love the fly in. You choice of music was wonderful. That being said, "I'm In".🙃😊
ty janice, very inspiring comment...
As tragic as this story is, I guess it’s best that they all passed away together. I can’t imagine how afraid the little ones were to have had to watch their parents be killed and then to experience it themselves. Some people are just demonic and I think this man was, to hurt innocent little children. 😩
Truly
He was brain damaged by that first mule. Head injury can cause mental problems.
@@amitisshahbanu5642 Do you have access to the medical records, then?
@@amitisshahbanu5642 oh I’m sorry I thought it was his “religious nut” father’s fault??? Even though I heard nothing about the children being abused…it’s true his frontal lobe could’ve been damaged which leads to temper & impulse control issues & judgement impairment…but seriously you sound ridiculous after your last comment when you had no factual backing for your allegations…
@@amitisshahbanu5642 you are correct. that type of head injury now is called Traumatic Brain Injury". This type of injury can cause aggressive anger among other things. For anyone that is interested look it up. I am an RN and had my "Traumatic Brain Injury Certification". This is a very sad injury.
Great and very respectful retelling of the story. Seeing the photograph with the injuries on the family’s faces really brought it home
Thanks so much for sharing this story Ron. Rest In Peace Parson Family.
Poor babies,how could anyone do such a thing.the music Ron was perfect as was listening to you tell the story.thank you.xx
What a pity, so much loss and violence! The cemetery is recluse, thanks for going all this way to show it!
That's so sad, this video has to be the saddest one you've done so far Ron. I don't know how anyone could hurt children like that. Those poor babies didn't do anything to deserve that. That boy got what he deserved. I love watching the drone shots in these video's, getting to see the places your doing the video's at from way up high is really cool. Stay safe on your travels Ron. I'm looking forward to the next video on your trip.
Very moving story - What a lovely peaceful Cemetery. May the Parson family Rest In Peace.
Absolutely fascinating and you told the tale beautifully. So sad, all those lives ruined by a senseless act.
Traumatic Brain injury is no joke. It can change someone’s personality in an instant.
Beard comas too can change personalities!
@@oldfogey4679, what does this mean?
@@lynnharrell9598 I had always heard stemming from the wild west times that if one survived a hanging they were let go! Whether this practice ever became state laws I don't know! Since America got many of its judicial practices from England I assumed the practice of releasing the condemned who survived hangings came from the Uk and was enshrined into English law? So I was surprised when Betty was rehung!
@@lynnharrell9598 revenge! Just responded and said if they survived a hanging 3 times then they were released!
@@oldfogey4679, got it. Thanks.
Great story details I had not heard before. Well done again sir! RIP Parsons family. A good pipe or a good cigar and a snowy day in a cemetery. A great way to relax and reflect.
So sad the way they died...🙏🏻🥺
Thanks, Ron, for sharing this story with us!!
Wow. An entire family gone because of one man.
Thanks to your videos these families will not be forgotten.
You're the Jon ballen of cemeteries... yes that's a compliment. 🥰 thank you for bringing their stories to light.
Thank you for a great and heartbreaking story. I can’t understand how anyone can kill a child. Amy
The US has carried out well over 60 million abortions since the 1970s. They now abort up to full term - at 9 months, and even during birth. Full term babies! We should weep with horror and shame for what we've done.
Wow, seen that picture quite a bit on the internet, always wondered about how that family passed due to all the noticeable injuries. Now I know, very sad indeed. Thank you very much, prayers and blessings, stay safe all
I really wanted to make sure I didn’t miss this tonight! This is such a sad story !!! Murder alone is really hard for me to understand sometimes but murder of children and babies is beyond comprehension of ANY kind. You did a fantastic job in this one Ron, as always. Really love your narration and story times. Keep up the great work.
This is a great channel. Excellent photography. The raconteurship here is superb, fitting, honest, and respectful. I think most of all I enjoyed the great music track while watching.

I'm researching this family. They were relatives of my grandmother. Knew some of the story, but not all. Thank u for filling in some gaps. God bless
Love how you tell these stories with such heart and caring I can feel how much you really care!! By the way my favorite Christmas gift was a Faces of the Forgotten coffee mug from my best friend! I think about you every time I have a cup of coffee! Love your videos!!☕️☕️
Thanks for taking us with you and making it interesting Ron!
Sad story, but nice that you presented so well. Thanks.
I read about this as soon as you posted the photo on instagram Ron, sorry, I couldn't wait till today. Very sad story for that whole family being innocent victims to such a horrific incident, and those small children, their lives were just beginning. I just cant understand how people can viciously harm others like that. So sad 🙁 As always be safe on your travels wherever they may take you Ron..😊
thanks Trish, glad to have seen you there with us.
Looks like the father got the worst of whatever happened.. I mean look at that very visible wound on his forehead
He was 24 when he married his wife Minnie she was 15. Before they became share croppers he made railroad ties so did his father Soloman. Such an awful story. My family was in Texas County when all this took place.
back in the day of marriage wasn't nothing but a number but ; now it's a number that will give you JAIL time......
my husband was 6 years older than me I was only 16 and we stayed married til death due us apart....
BACK THEN AGE WAS NOTHING BUT A NUMBER
NOW ; THEY CRY RAPE
SEXUAL HARASSMENT
SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
ANYTHING TO PUT A MAN IN JAIL.......RIGHT
SHE WAS ONLY 15 AND HE WAS IN HIS EARLY 20'S.
AND IN LOVE DIEING TOGETHER....
BUT YET ; THESE DAYS IT'S CALLED RAPE....

The fact that they entered Heaven together, is of comfort. I really enjoy this channel, and appreciate the work you put into your videos.
What a tragedy. I wish the Parson Family Peace.
I had to watch a second time because the chat was so full and going so fast I couldn’t keep up. Great story Ron, thanks.❤️❤️❤️
Lol I’ll need to watch it again too
u guys r funny....but yes, it was flying by!!
Ron, such a sad story and may they all Rest In Peace. Thanks for sharing and have a great week.
Thanks for taking us on your journey. I appreciate how respectful you are with all the stories.
Such a tragedy! 🙏
A neighbor of mine got a very bad head injury from a car wreck and wasn't the same afterwards. He was good natured, but after the accident he began having bouts of anger and it was impossible to know what would set him off. Sometimes he'd stew awhile, or minutes to days, then verbally attack.
Unable to trust him, we stayed clear of him and I wonder if Jodie's accident effected him the same. A brain injury that caused a short circuit.
Several years later my neighbor was in another car "accident" driving over 100mph into a building, but I suspect he killed himself because as time went by his condition worsened.
Thank you for an interesting, albeit horribly sad, story.
May they all be at peace. 🙏
Thank you for taking us there to pay respects even through video ❤️ I’ve never forgotten that family since I heard about them
I saw this picture on a post mortem and the narrator said it was a murder-suicide. Glad to learn the truth. So sad. Great video and you give voice to those lost to time
When I first saw that photo it reminded me a murder/suicide in my town about 30 years ago. A man known to be violent to his wife killed his whole family and placed the wife’s body along with the children’s bodies in a bed together. Then he lied in the bed and lulled himself. ⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️👰♀️👩🍼👶🧒🔫💪🛏💀🪦
Lovely cemetery and memorial. It’s interesting how one becomes set on telling the stories of the dead after they’ve had to grieve themselves. What a beautiful way to honor these families. I like to imagine spirits listening to you tell the tale of their lives.
Thank you for letting us know about this sad story ,they are not forgotten ,sending my prayers 🙏
This is such a great opportunity to bring the past back to life, these people,simple,Hardworking, and also economically challenged. Great incite without any dragged out narration, Well done. Anyone could sympathize with such a senseless and tragic experience. Well, not too different from today's culture, just materials that changed.
