THIS STORY:
With just $100.00 he founded the Peabody, Daniels & Company, at age 24 in 1883, in Chicago. Peabody Coal started out as a retail coal vendor, buying coal and re-selling it to retail consumers to use in their homes and businesses. By 1920 Peabody Coal Company was one of the largest coal companies in the United States, and in the end, Francis Stuyvesant Peabody would have amassed a personal fortune of $35 million.
He constructed the Mayslake Peabody Estate in Oak Brook, Illinois. This is where our walk starts, as we tour the outside of the small chapel that once contained his glass covered coffin, purported to have been lined with a fortune of gold bars.

_________________________________________________________
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.
#Graves #Cemeteries #Death
Ron, I am so happy to finally see someone who is like me. I love history and cemeteries. I never had nobody that wanted to go with me except my Dad. My Dad passed away this April and I cant go walk around cemetaries anymore cause of disabilities. I am so happy I found your channel. God bless you and keep safe.
I also love cemeteries and these videos reminds me of when I was a teenager and walked through cemeteries, looking at photos and imagining what the lives of those people would be like when they were alive. Greetings from Uruguay!
My Dad and I use to walk in cemeteries and talk about ancestors that passed long ago and their place in American history. My condolences to you in the loss of your Dad. You're right. Ron has stirred the hearts of all of us. Hugs ❤️
I'm sorry for your loss. I know it's difficult. I lost my parent's two year's apart from each other. I too love cemeteries, especially very old one's with interesting back stories. That's the best part of watching this channel though,....you can take a visual stroll with Ron and all of us and enjoy these cemeteries once again. I too have health challenges so watching this channel gives me happiness, peace and interest. My prayers go to you and your family.
Love from Canada. ❤
Greetings from Texas. I’ve always loved looking around in cemeteries and reading the markers. The old monuments are pieces from a time past. The new ones will stitch old and new together in future time.
I too love cemeteries and cremation grounds. In fact, in Hindu tradition, a cemetery or cremation ground is considered a holy place, an ideal place to perform spiritual practices, because it is where one of the most important lessons in life is taught- the transient nature of all existence. Goddesses like Kali, literally the Power of Time, is to be invoked in cremation grounds and she is described as Smashana Vasini ie One Who resides in Cremation Grounds. Symbolically the cemetery or cremation ground stands for the creation itself with its ephimerality.
Ron’s channel has the best community. ♥️👍🏼
I agree 😀
Here here 😁
Love this channel and community 😊😊
100% agree a awesome community
Thanks Ron, you scared it right out of me with the Monk popping up next to you.
I pooped... 😫😫
@@valeriemcmahon7998 Came out of nowhere. I haven’t been that scared since I was a child, many years ago.
Me too! Not nice, Ron, not nice. 🤣😂
And me
The craftsmanship and artwork on the chapel is stunning. Love to hear the history. Thanks for sharing
You are a great story teller Ron and by the way, when the Monk snuck up on the screen beside you, the hair on the back of my neck stood up!
Ha ha ha, gotcha
I remember 8k and now its 123k
Your videos are impeccable as always
👏❤️
Thanks for sticking around!
Faces of the Forgotten always❤️
Such a humble marker for a rich man. At least he used his wealth for charitable causes for the most part.
When we were teenagers a lot of us wanted to go see Peabody's tomb. The stories that you hear with the monks chasing you was enough to make the hair on your neck stand up. The craftsmanship on that tomb is outstanding. I'm glad you did this tour. Very interesting.
Thank you for sharing this with us, Ron! I almost got married in that Chapel! It's BEAUTIFUL 💜 There aren't many chapels in the Chicagoland area to get married in but this is 1 of them. All the names in the bricks are those who were married there with the dates which is very nice. I recommend people visiting this property for it's peacefulness and the beauty of nature.
Ron now you have hit me close to home. Since the 1920's Mays lake was a Catholic Franciscan Retreat house. I used to make my yearly retreats there since 1965 until it closed. Many and my of the Franciscan fathers there were and are my friends to this day so I know the place very well. Though most of the good men who ran that place are long dead + and may GOD rest their souls + and the few remaining are now old men stationed at St. Peter's Church Downtown Chicago. I'm over 75 and get to see them monthly since I attend that church. My friend Fr. Oliver - RIP - always used to tell our retreat class the story of Mr. Peabody, his coal riches and how the poor man died. We were told of the many times kids would break open the chapel to see 'the tomb.' Nothing spooky about the place at all. I can write a book on my many adventures there; too bad we closed down. It's been a long since I visited the place but I wonder are the graves of these good men are still there. Side note: greatest preacher Fr. Jason Kimmich, OFM. That guy was so good he could preach a Crusader! If Fr. Jason is 'haunting' the place PLEASE come to my parish and fire up our woke pastor like Fr. Jason fired me up through his soul searing talks.
I was a teenager in Franklin Park in the 60's and remember a lot of the kids in high school (East Leyden) telling stories about Peabody's tomb and a glass coffin. Thanks for the post.
Hi Ron 💐 Beautifully designed chapel. Like always awesome stories. Thank you 🙏🏽 for reliving and taking us with you to these wonderful stories of the forgotten. Happy Halloween! 👻 🎃
I just found you recently and admire your work. I found it cool that you were born in Weisbaden the same year my mother was born and my grandmother moved to Wisconsin from Weisbaden. My grandfather was in the army there! I'm 38 and just started learning about graveyard care when I found one in disrepair. Please keep up your great work and I love knowing others are our there too. ❤
Glad to have you here 😊
I was born in Wiesbaden on the US Air Force Base
Such a small world to think you were babies possibly your mom's passing and waving then! My grandmother was from Weisbaden herself she worked there abd married him in 59 before having my mom in SC
What a great story. I enjoy learning about the history of our area and the men and women who formed what and who we have become. So much good in this world. Thanks for sharing it with us. Be blessed Ron.
Thx for the phenomenal tour and history lesson. Truly a wonderful story. The monks were great in disciplining the youth.😇😬🙏
Thank you for sharing.I appreciate you for the time and effort you put in to sharing the lives of the people who are no longer here and to the families My condolences to you all
Hi Ron and gang, the Colonel is in the house, been watching, bot typing much due to cataracts, having first eye surgery tomorrow, all the better to see you my dears, PEACE AND LOVE FROM US TO YOU!!!
Wishing you luck with your peepers!
@@KimberlyLew THANK YOU!
Wish you luck with the surgery!
Good luck with your eye surgery. And listen to what the Drs. tell you.
Good luck with surgery. Do exactly as the doctor tells you. You won't be sorry if you listen to them to the letter. Another fantastic vlog Ron. Beautiful chapel and grounds. Fascinating subject matter and history.
The chapel is absolutely beautiful ♥️♥️ great video today
AMAZING RON , THAT CHAPEL WAS BEAUTIFUL, SUCH BEAUTY , RIP FRANCIS PEABODY 🙏❤
Thank you Ron for sharing this story. I enjoyed it, take care. Looking forward to your next video.
This is my first jaw-drop. That is an incredible mosaic. I so wish you could have gained entry.
That was beautiful tile work! Thanks for sharing ❤️
Gorgeous tiles!!!
Dude popping up @ 2:15 scared the hell outta me!
The meticulous tile work on the mausoleum/chapel is beautiful. I'm glad they were able to sell it to the monks so they could take care of it properly. Tudor mansions that are very well kept are so beautiful and so deserving of being maintained.
Thanks for the video, great as always
Great video, beautiful craftsmanship, that monk was scary, was not expecting him to appear out of nowhere 😬😳😊
Great story again.
Thanks for sharing 👋🏻👍🏻
Francis Peabody RIP🙏🏻
That is incredible!
So beautiful! Amazing!
What a beautiful story!
I thank you for all your hard work and for sharing with us this amazing video 👍
What a beautiful little chapel. You visit the prettiest places.
Wow ! Another amazing story !! ❤️❤️❤️
Ron, you got me !! About peed my pants when the Monk popped up next to you ! Great Halloween prank !
As a teenager in the early 60’s, my friends and I went to Peabodys tomb. I don’t remember much except my vision of my girlfriend running holding her boyfriends hand. She was larger than him and just pulling him because we heard something and thought it was the monks. It was really scary.
Your history lessons are always great!!!!!!
That artwork is incredible, wow. Wonder how long it took to put that together.
This channel is absolutely amazing ❤👍👍
Great video, love the chapel and the interesting story. Thank you Ron, you’re the best ❣️❣️❣️
Thank You Ron For Another Fascinating Story That Monument Is Truely Breathtaking Amazing Craftsmanship...
When that monk came into the frame... Yaaaaall... 😫😫 My hand is on my chest holding my heart right now...
Another great story and video!
What an interesting story. That truly is a beautiful chapel. The workmanship in that is amazing. Do they do tours of the property. That would be interesting. Enjoyed it very much and was surprised that such a wealthy man has such a simple grave. Looks like the Monks adopted him. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
I used to go on Retreats at Mayslake. The only thing that's inside the chapel as I remember it is an altar but no pews.
Ron, great video and thanks for sharing.
I've heard of the Hells gate cemetery, have you ever done a episode there? I'm in the UK, so no chance of me going, would love it if you consider going 🙏
I’m planning to come there next summer so will keep that place in mind. Ty
Beautiful chapel, the craftsmanship looks like the one it's modeled on in Assisi. That is a burial ground there for the Franciscan Friars which is a men's Religious Order so there would only presumably be male Friars, priests and Brothers buried there. It looks it's part of a larger cemetery. Thanks!
What beautiful grounds and a beautiful chapel. Reminds me of doing mosaic pictures in art class.
I’m English so I’ve never heard any of these stories if it wasn’t for u giving your time and hard work Ron we would be none the wiser . I shall never view a cemetery the same way again thank u so much for sharing this fascinating but sad story ❤🏴🏴
The mosaic work on the chapel is gorgeous!!
Hey Ron,I just love your channel. I went on a ghost tour this past weekend for my birthday to Bachelors Grove. I told the tour guide all about your channel! Not only is it entertaining but educational....God Bless
Oh wow how cool is that!!!!
Thank you Ron for another cool video
You really need to come to NC and visit the passed family named the Lawson family. They are located at the Browder family cemetery, Germantown Nc. It’s really a place that’s indescribable. 1 massive grave for 8 people. It’s a real tragedy but like I said, visiting their resting place will quite literally take your breath away.
Ron, you have made my Tuesday wonderful! Thank you! What an afternoon to come home from work and be able to watch a fabulous video! Beautiful as always!❤
Peabody Mine Co employed my grandpa and his family. Man these guys are famous in Pana , Illinois.Please come to Pana! Would love for you to do ,a video on Penwell family ,and mine wars.
I agree the tile work is awesome. Such patience to be able to do such amazing work. Thank you for sharing. As always you've done such great research.
That monk coming in from the right side freaked me out! LOL
That chapel is stunning... Wow
After watching this channel.... I cannot go past a cemetery in the same way...thanks for your channel!
And unfortunately too this day heart disease is still a silent killer. Most will never know if they have it or not unless their lucky enough to get warning signs of discomfort to then get checked out. I'm in love with that chapel. Those grounds are so beautiful. What a lovely place to live in peace......
Unless chased by monk's then no one's happy. 🤷
Interesting story, beautiful chapel!!👍🏻😇👌
The front of the chapel is just stunning - absolutely beautiful!
The mosaic picture its amazing I bet that took some hours making that
That tile work is pure perfection. 🤗👻
Beautiful mansion & chapel with the Italian mosaic work!!
The Chapel is absolutely stunning. Great Story Ron, and though I didn't jump you still scared me with that Monk, lol
Wow, do I remember those stories! I think it was 30 years before I found the true story! Thanks Ron, bringing back memories and timely too for the holiday.
Interesting story. Beautiful chapel and the mosaic work is stunning.
Such a beautiful place, and that chapel is gorgeous. It must have taken a long time, to build that. That was such an interesting story. Thank you!
Wow the workmanship on the chapel is absolutely amazing! It must have taken a long long time to do with those tiny tiles.
Very interesting. Kind regards Trev 🇬🇧.
Your a brilliant story teller... Love it.
Beautiful amazing artwork on the chapel-mausoleum, when the dark monk glided up beside you, I nearly dropped my tablet!, that was so creepy!, but fun because its Halloween, thanks for sharing another interesting story. Have a great day. 💀👻😱🎃🎃🎃😊🌷
What a beautiful chapel you can see the love and care that was taken in building it x wouldn’t want to risk going at night though them monks might find you x ( I’m scared of monks now 😱😱😱) brilliant again Ron !! (I’m still hiding behind my pillow 🤣🤣🤣) love to you and the gang !!
That is beautiful!
I like that title " the prowling monks" 😀. Beautiful mausoleum and mansion. That would of scared me to death if someone approached me in the dark with a hood and robe. Would look like the grim reaper. Good story.👍👍👍
The moment I heard glass coffin, I knew it was PEABODYS GRAVE!!!
Grew up there, snuck in at night, and chased out by monks! I lived it...!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks for the memories ♥️♥️♥️
Oh, finally someone who actually did it!!
Awesome memories, glad you liked it!!
I was just like you, lucky I didn’t grow up there!!! I was in Niles.
@@FacesoftheForgotten I remember all those buildings, stables, etc. And very rarely when driving by, you'd catch a glimpse of those monks in expected full monk regalia...
Ron I used to make my retreats at this lovely place from 1965 until the Friars sold the place. The inside of the chapel is plain. In all the times I was in attendance I never heard of our monks detaining kids when they caught them trespassing. I think they would call the police. The mansion in the back was our retreat house. There were also two large lakes that, and here's the weird part, these lakes were overstocked with fish, large alligator snapping turtles and a large flock of geese too fat to fly! These geese were nearly large as people! Whenever I walked outside if they blocked the sidewalk I'd go around them for fear they would attack you. I saw one of the guys almost loose his finger to one of those large carnivorous turtles! One more thing, Ron was it the Cherry Hill mining disaster if I got the name right of 1909? That coal mine was owned by the same Peabody that sold the monks the Mayslake grounds. Back in the day there were two very large seminaries one St. Joseph's for priests the other St. Pascals for religious brothers. In those days when the Mass was in Latin I was going to train for the priesthood but got kicked out for brawling. So I became a special education teacher instead.
I think you’re thinking of the snapping turtles, they are prehistoric and pretty ugly. If you get your finger stuck in their jaws you better cut their head off.
As far as the cherry mind of 1909 that’s an interesting connection. I assume you did see that episode I did in Cherry Illinois.
The Chapel is absolutely beautiful !!
Great story 👏 love the tile artwork it's beautiful. Thank you!
What a fantastic episode you would be a phenomenal history professor thanks take care
The chapel reminds me of the basilica in St Louis with all the tile work. Beautiful!
Loved this Ron. The tile work on the small church is amazing. Have a happy Halloween 🎃
Very nice video - love the art work!!1 Love the story you are the best!!!
The chappel has a amazing tile art on it have to say cool story with the place
Interesting story and beautiful chapel ☺️. I looked down for second and when I looked up there was that monk in beginning...gave my heart a pause for a second 😁. Great story Ron 💗🕊️
My husband asks why I care about who lived a long time ago and is already dead! I am like, "It is absolutely captivating!" I wish someone would do this exact type of channel in Mexico city, where I grew up. I love Chicago and it's nearby suburbs because of the history.
I lived off Butterfield Road near Rt 83, across from Chapel Hill Cemetery. I know the legend well. And the monks would make you kneel on broken glass, ( was our version) they also had huge black dogs that would chase you down and kill you. Awesome video! Thank you so much
The monks are coming!!!
Oh, that was great Halloween fun! Going to watch that again....thank you Ron!!!
This is crazy. When I was a kid my friends and I used to do seances. At one of them we were asking the spirit of a guy named Peabody who was buried in oil in a glass coffin to come forward. We didn't even know who he was 😂This happened at my friend's house. Believe it or not, her lights started going on and off. It scared the daylights out of us Lol. Now I know where this whole Peabody thing started. Never knew this before. Also, my dad used to go on retreats to Mays Lake every year with the Knights of Columbus. I still have one of his souvenir ashtrays that he would bring home. It has a picture of the mansion etched in it and says "Mayslake St Francis Retreat Oak Brook" on it. I wonder if he knew the Peabody story and that his daughter was trying to call him back to life, Lol.
It’s a big mansion and beautiful painting, interesting story💕👏🏼👍🏻
Another beautiful story.😊
What another nice story Ron... thanks that...nice editing and sounds effects it's really scary...keep safe always and blessed be 💕😉
Now that's a gold digger. Love the special effects. Thanks Ron. Happy Halloween 🎃
Another great one! Monk scared me too
Oooh Ron that scared me. I wasn't expecting to see that Monk. Haha. 😯😨👻 😂🤣😂🤣
Ok, that monk insert scared me! I wasn't a fan yet, this time last year so am looking forward to your Halloween FOTF and your new channel. Bwahaha.
love it!
I love this cemetery this is a great story I love it,,thank you Jacqueline L. The story is awesome 👍...wow that tile work is fantastic words can't describe the beauty,,,the music at the end was creepy...👻👻👻👻
Awesome… thanks buddy…
I never get enough of your videos. They are so informative and above all interesting to help us think of these lives once lived. May I ask a question though? I cringe everytime I see you move the grass on a marker omg can you use disposable gloves for hygienic purposes. I love all you do for us!!
I remember talk of “Peabody’s grave and the Monks” from When I was a teenager, but we never went there, we weren’t that brave or stupid!
Another great story!
Ciao dall’Italia ❤️ sei mitico ti seguo sempre
