_________________________________________________________
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.

Hi Brittan and Ron! 😊 Abe has always been my favorite president from long ago. I truly believe that smile on President Lincolns face was someone from heaven there to take his soul home. R.I.P. President Lincoln. Have a great day guys.😊

He was not a Christian, stop it, neither was George Washington, all of the first 9 US presidents were not Christian, that is why the US did so well, today it’s doing badly because it has been infiltrated by Christian fundamentalists, who worship nothing good.

Hi Ron and Brittan. It's great to see you together again. I learned some things from this about President Lincoln and the Booth brothers. Didn't the president have some kind of dream or presentiment of his death beforehand? Someone might know. I enjoy learning things I didn't know. Thanks, guys. Awesome video. And, Brittan, Ron says to tell you to go visit him in AZ!!

Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago. It's a mile long south from Peterson to Bowmanville , and 3/4 wide from Western to Ravenswood aves, the entrance is on Ravenswood & Bryn Mawr. The oldest plots are a long Peterson. Most of the cemetery is empty grassland, and has a small lake, and is a habitat for small animals. It's close to my old house in the West Ridge neighborhood of Chicago.

RIP Katherine Evans 🙏 Lincoln had a smile on his face after he was shot? He knew he was finally going to be at peace. Mrs. Evans had a very hard few years after the assassination. I'm glad she did better in Chicago. As for JWB'S Brother Edwin. He was much more famous as an actor and considered a better actor than his Brother. He also saved the life of the Lincoln's oldest son Robert years before. Nice to see you again Brittan 😊 Hopefully you will go see Ron in Arizona! But go when it's cooler. Take care Ron and Brittan! 🙏

Maybe part of the reason Lincoln had a smile on his face was because of the last line of the play he heard before being shot. The last line Lincoln heard was "You sockdologizing old mantrap!" John Wilkes Booth planned to shoot Lincoln after that line because the ensuing laughter was supposed to drown out the report of the pistol.
