THIS STORY:

Shalor Winchell Eldridge was involved in most of the vital events connected to the founding of Kansas. The Eldridge family was there when William Quantrill and his top Lieutenant Bloody Bill Anderson rode into Lawrence, along with some 300 armed guerrilla attackers on horseback, to sack the town. These men were of the pro-slavery "Border Ruffians" - and they would have blood on this summer's day.

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.
