STORY:
A young and happy family in the late 1800's meets with a sudden and terrible end.
THIS CHANNEL:
_________________________________________________________
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.

This is such a sad story. The undertaker did a beautiful job. This mother must have been suffering so much to have done something so tragic. Back then there wasn’t really helpful treatment available for depression and mental illness. The towns people showed such loving compassion and Christian charity to the family. I wish we still had a little more of that left in the world today. I love your channel. I always thought I must be a little nutty because I have always loved walking around in old graveyards looking at the stones and seeing the different families there. I don’t feel so nutty anymore after watching your channel and seeing how many subscribers you have.

I agree about wanting more Christian clarity in the world. More kindness. I too have visited old cemeteries and look at the headstones. There is one in my Grandmothers town where the headstones are all very tall. They have little doors that open on them and there are pictures behind the doors and stories about their lives. Most interesting cemetery I’ve ever seen.

I’ve always liked cemeteries for the quiet that exists there. Also, I like to remember that each of the persons lying there was a very real person who had a life and a story of their own. I can’t help but wonder what their ‘story’ (life) was. Now, at my age, I go through our town’s little cemetery and remember the times with all the people I knew from when I was just a small child and they were friends of my parents, or just people I knew from growing up, and still living, in the same small town. I’m 69 now. The memories I have. I guess I should write them down before it’s my turn to rest in that same cemetery. 😌

My great-grandfather handled this funeral. The image came from a set of prints that passed down through our family, I still have one. The back side is covered in news articles from the time. I went to Fort Hill many years ago and uncovered their grave, it was laying flat at the time and mostly buried. I just pulled the grass from around the edges to get a better look. Looks like they've kept up doing that in the years since. My brother may have posted much the same here also, I'm not going to look through all the comments to find out. :)

Has anyone noticed how different people's feelings were back then? How they explained every detail of what happened but didn't negate her feelings towards her husband or child? Nowadays, all of the positive things a person does, gets erased by one bad action and everyone demonizes the whole person. Our society has grown cold, humanity has been replaced by an almost robotic way of living where we judge others and acusse without any feelings. We should learn a little from our ancestors so that we can all have a happier life. They even put the family together in one coffin. Can you imagine how people would react nowadays if that was done? People would flip! They would prefer she rots by herself, but not next to her victims. Love is a virtue that shouldn't go away. I hope they rest in peace.

Maria definitely suffered from Postpartum psychosis which is the severest form of mental illness in that category characterized by extreme confusion, loss of touch with reality, paranoia, delusions, disorganized thought process, and hallucinations. I did some research myself on this family and prior to her having Anna, Maria lost a baby a year before getting pregnant with Anna. The baby's name was Verina. She only lived for 12 days. Shortly after Anna was born, Maria started having bouts of paranoia she thought that someone was gonna kill her and her baby. Mainly her baby she was very worried and concerned about. One of Maria and Emil's friend stopped by the house one day and he said that Maria was banging the keys on her piano just banging on the keys (erratically) crying and then she snapped out of it like she never had an meltdown. She told him she " was fine" and smiled. People that don't understand mental illness. In them days things were very different and they didn't have the proper treatment that they have out here today for people that are suffering from mental illness. It's hard to understand something that you will never experience, and don't get why people do what they do. It's a very sad tragedy. It's hard to put yourself in the shoes of someone with a mental illness. It's an illness of the mind, the mind is extremely complex and really hard to understand. So it's extremely difficult for someone to feel or understand what a mental patient is feeling. May the Keller Family continue to Rest In Peace

I see many here posting comments about post partum depression and although that might have been the case, I will propose another possibility. I came to America from the Netherlands in 1962. Although world travel was beginning to be more common place at that time, my parents were not wealthy and resigned themselves to the probability that they would never see their siblings and parents again. My mom, who was extremely close to her mom and her siblings, went into a deep depression and suffered a nervous breakdown. The doctor treating her recommended that we either move back to Holland or to move to California or Florida where the weather wasn’t as severe. Eventually my mom did get better and my grandmother did come to visit us in California a few times.

Postpartum depression doesn't make people "talk irrationally" or murder their children, etc. Postpartum psychosis does. Most women that have postpartum depression never have psychosis. The two both deserve and need help, but postpartum depression is very common; postpartum psychosis is not. Women suffering from postpartum depression do not need the stigma of being thought "crazy" or "dangerous" that confusing them with someone that is having a psychotic episode brings.

Mental Illness is sadly something that can affect anybody, from any background, at anytime in a persons life and even today it still carry's a lot of stigma, which is why I appreciate as always Ron's respectfulness and gentleness when it comes to telling stories like this and as some who has experienced things like real strong depression, believe when I say its not an exaggeration or someone being ridiculous- its not just feeling a little bit low and down, oh its much stronger and deeper, its about feeling that low and that utterly worthless, dark thoughts become very, very strong and over take you so much that you're not you anymore. I am grateful that we live in a time now thats more aware and understanding of such things, it must of been so unbelievably hard in the past when people didnt even like admitting such things existed, never mind refusing to talk about them and I hope the world keeps on that path and finding more ways to understand and help people who suffer from genuine conditions and always- respects to you Ron- for reminding people of how they should be, if more people had your mindfulness, respectfulness and consideration for others as you do- that those things alone would start to make the world a better place, thank you.

My Mother was friends with a man who later murdered his 4 kids, wife , a visitor and a ranch hand. He then killed himself. Needless to say, she was incredibly shocked by this tragic news. This was so unlike him and he was very well liked/regarded in the community. This happened in the fifties in a tiny ranching community in Alberta. The crazy thing is, the town buried the family all together, including the father who killed them all. I don't think they would bury them all together nowadays but back in those days they seemed to have an understanding of what happened and that he was very ill at the time.

@PeggyPeggy….that’s true. They would never bury murder victims with their killer today. No way, they won’t even bury them in the same cemetery these days and I completely agree with that. The DeFeo family of Amityville, Long Island, who were all shot to death by the oldest son, Ron, back in 1974…..were all buried together and when Ron died in prison two years ago….he was disposed of and not to be buried with the family he murdered. I wouldn’t want my killer buried with me.

I don't know if they used black powder in .22's of the time, it would seem the most likely reason the infant was on fire. A bit of research indicates that black powder was in fact used in .22 cartridges of the time. This would though, call into question, the thought that the bullet that entered the infant had first been through his mothers head.

I never knew it was a murder/suicide. I always understood it to be a triple murder. Thank you for clearing that up. Very sad and bittersweet end to a family. Mental illness is such a horrible thing and who knows what was going on in her mind to harm the two she loved most. Part of this reminds me of some old friends. A couple years ago, they were in a tragic car accident while returning from a family outing. A driver crossed the highway and hit them head on. Both of my friends (husband and wife) and their infant daughter were killed. Their other 3 young children were horrifically injured, but miraculously survived and woke in the hospital later. While there are two plots side by side, the mom was buried holding her baby in her arms (which I'm very thankful for).
