STORY:

Colonel in the Confederate Army, 20th Tennessee Infantry. Killed at the Battle of Nashville, defending the hill that now bears his name. This hill was one of the last positions defended by the Confederate Army, but a charge up the hill by Minnesota units routed the Rebels. Confederate General Thomas Benton Smith was captured on this hill, and Shy was one of the last soldiers left in the defense. He was killed by a single shot to the head, fired point-blank.

His grave was robbed from a Fisk coffin in 1977 - and they took his skull.

_________________________________________________________
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.
