THIS STORY:
Wessagusset Colony was a short-lived English trading colony in New England located in Weymouth, Massachusetts. It was settled in August 1622 by between fifty and sixty colonists who were ill-prepared for colonial life. The colony was settled without adequate provisions, and the inhabitants were harming relations with local Native Americans.
This was leading to war. A war that would destroy all of the Colonies. But the Pilgrims would come up with a bloody plan - and it would be Myles Standish who would carry it out.
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.

Later that day in 1876, the second telephone call in history was made. It was Bell's wife. She said : ' Al pick up my dry cleaning on your way home from work. "

The stone at 12:31 is my favorite because of the wording, the font and the way they wrote 2y 1m 2d - but especially for the little poem. You can feel how sad the mother must have been from those few words. Poor Mrs. Rachel. It is a gorgeous stone despite the age ❤️

It's a looong line drive ovah tha Monstah, tha pahhking lot and into tha Chahhles Rivahh! Hahaha! Another solid winner, Ron. Barnabas Collins! Dark Shadows, indeed! My wife and I thoroughly enjoy that show and we have the deluxe coffin-shaped box set that every hardcore Shadows fan should own! I just got an American Pit Bull about a year ago....had to come up with an name.....what would fit?? Sweet dog....until you push his buttons, that is. Those fangs....dual personality...I named him Barnabas with the wife's enthusiastic approval! In another vein (!--lol!): Standish and the rest were serious people. Praying and pious, but they knew the concept of "the good shepherd". And after all of that death and hunger and disease, it is easy to believe they were willing to do some pretty harsh things to dissuade the Natives from further attacks. How about a good ol' English "Head on a Pike"? I am thinking the heads on poles must have been a real shock and fear-inducing thing to them. I have never heard of Natives anywhere in what would become the US doing this, in fact.

Are we weird that we like this 😀 since I was very young I felt attrackted to graveyards. Just recently I was in a bus and it broke down so we'd to walk. I was accompagnied by somebody I didn't know but he knew the area. So we past a graveyard. My inside was urging me to go there :) but I was tired and I didn't know the area but I mentioned it to the man. So he said that it was a very old graveyard and it was about to be cleared. I was in shock it felt so disrespectful . Thanks Ron I'm not American but I really enjoy all the story's . I do genealogy and wonder so often how the people past, specially the younger ones. But btw what happened with the heads ?

I am glad to see you are enjoying our old cemeteries here in Massachusetts!! We have so many with stones in the 1600s. I have always loved walking thru the old ones like this and just reading the stones. It was a favorite past time of mine from since i was a kid. And yes the oldest ones in the cities are terraced like this one in Weymouth. Btw Dorchester is also a Boston burb like Weymouth. So no that go did not go back to England. He was in Dorchester, Ma.. We have so many stories here and you could spend years here in the state going thru the stories.

A big hello to a heck of a nice guy in RC! replacing those American flags and laying down those yellow roses on the graves, and always does such a fantastic job telling the stories. Wow! those headstones do go back, Way, way back!!! and in great condition. There must be something in the atmosphere that preserve's the headstones? It seems that the white people has always had it in for the poor Indian's, yes, REST IN PEACE- to all in the Old North Cemetery in Weymouth. Thank you, RC, and to the FOTF family, Signed, Greg the egg. Inclosing, I have a suggestion, I having a little trouble getting into the suggestions site? I thought may-be if by the comments I could leave this? PLUS this is a lot closer to home, well heres goes, this took place in Chicago in 1985, 7 youths were killed in a car crash on their way to a Bruce Springsteen concert in a 1975 Cadillac which was loaned by the father of one of the victims. a 21 year old Bette Cipolle of Joliet,IL. the other names of the youths that died that day and their ages are, Daniel Dow 21 of Shorewood,IL.-his sister, Kimberly Dow 16, also of Shorewood, IL.-Dean Labarbera 15 of Joliet, IL.- Kritin Behrens 15 of Joliet,IL.-Jennifer Fredrickson 16 of Shorewood, IL,- Rosann Sula 20 of Joliet, IL. NOW, you will find three of the youths in the WOODLAWN CEMERTERY in Joliet,IL. off the street of JEFFERSON STREET in which is one of the main drags in Joliet. The three youths are, Daniiel Dow and his younger sister Kimberly Dow. Then the other youth would be, Jennifer Fredrickson, the three are all close together. That is a lot!!!!!!!..

I think when cemeteries were established way back when, they started burying people at the highest point of the grounds. Just my impression as the oldest graves are usually at top.

@mmurray1983 Жыл бұрын

In Hingham (the town next door to this) and Plymouth the burial grounds were begun RIGHT OUTSIDE the gates of the first forts (don't want to be carrying heavy bodies a long distance if there are Indians and Frenchmen hiding in the woods) they built on the highest hills for defense. later as the towns grew and the forts became obsolete and dismantled the burial grounds continued to grow on those hills.

It feels as if my own father is walking with me and telling me wise things that have happened. You are a great story teller and a valuable, honorable man. We have an old cemetery down the road by an old church in the middle of nowhere. I know there are many stories to tell there. I bought 8 double spaces there for the eventual use by our family. The decapitations that resulted in the two headless chiefs was a terrible tragedy for those tribes. It demoralized them, and no doubt shocked them to see their beloved leaders' heads on a stake. May we never see our loved ones heads on a stake. Thanks for the history lessons, my friend. Long may you live! Blessings!
