THIS STORY:

Lewis Thornton Powell was a Confederate soldier who attempted to assassinate William Henry Seward as part of the overall Lincoln assassination plot.

He was caught and hanged along with three other conspirators; Mary Surratt, David Herold and George Atzerodt. They were all immediately buried adjacent the gallows in the prison yard. But eventually their bodies would be turned over to their respective families.
But when Lewis' family came to claim him, his head was gone.

More than a century later, his skull was discovered in one of the most unlikely places.

_________________________________________________________
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.
