THIS LOCATION:
Trinity Churchyard Cemetery in Holderness, New Hampshire, established in 1797.
Samuel Livermore (1732-1803), a lawyer in Portsmouth and Londonderry, became Attorney General of the Province of New Hampshire in 1769. But, as the American Revolution approached in the winter of 1775, he moved north to his land holdings in the frontier town of Holderness. He quickly became the town’s most prominent citizen and largest landowner. Livermore soon cast his lot with the new government, becoming the state’s Attorney General in 1776, and later serving in the Continental Congress and as Chief Justice of the state. He was a major leader in the movement to ratify the U.S. Constitution, and, served, under that Constitution, as one of New Hampshire’s first Congressmen, and, then as a U.S. Senator, until ill-health forced his resignation.
Of Livermore’s Holderness buildings, only Trinity Church remains. Trinity Church is a modest late 18th century vernacular building, with little architectural embellishment beyond the paneled woodwork of the pews and pulpit. It is, however, unique as the only 18th century New Hampshire church that retains its original appearance.

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.

Samuel Livermore born in 1732 has an interesting story. He was one of New Hampshire’s first congressman from 1780-82 and again in 1785. He served as Chief Justice 1782-1790. He was a proponent of a national constitution and also motioned on June 21 1788 for New Hampshire to be the 9th state to approve the constitution.
agreed very interesting fella.....im researchin him now, his kids and grandkids led amazing lives as well....one of the first lawmakers and a member of the continental congress.....one of his grandaughters was a famous preacher, one of the first in the nation
Strange how the raised graves look fresh, even though the burials were over a hundred years ago!
The older the better, it is beautiful there, the woods are old! Fantastic. So we are each like grains of sand in time, just mere mortals. Pre Revolutionary War graves, my favorites.
I LOVE the cross in the trees! Beautiful!
You make me laugh, you always say you are heading back but then you see something that grabs your attention and you keep going! You are so dedicated, thank you for sharing this with us.
He gets excited lol
There is not enough film in the world for all the cemetaries I want to explore. I love your videos. Gorgeous stones and History you share with us. Thank you for sharing the beautiful cemetary with us.
Please Drive Careful.
It’s fun & interesting 😊
@@KimberlyLew the history alone is fascinating. But the beauty takes your breath away.
I like the 4k. I work at a cemetery for a living and I really enjoy the content you put out. I have so much respect for you. Keep up with the good content. Curtis from West Virginia
This walk was very interesting. Love the old 1700's names and headstones. Thank you 💜💙👍🏻🇨🇦
Thank you Ron for taking so much time to video and share with all of us. VERY Interesting Indeed 👍👍☺️
Thank you Mr Ron for sharing with us ( The Gang ) another interesting historical site , thanks for your time and effort on doing this videos !
I just love this!! You honor these people that probably have long been forgotten… my mom use to do this as well. In my area actor Broderick Crawford & his mom are buried here. My mom always put flowers on their grave ( she was the only one to do so) sadly she died of cancer in 2019… keep up the wonderful work you do! You are a living person,,,, thank you 😊
Another great video it's like you're here with me in Ireland, hopefully soon I can show you some of ours 🍀❤️🇮🇪
Weather included 🤣🤣
Surreal find. So hauntingly beautiful.
Theres probably lot of activity in that cemetary in the night. Looks spooky in the daytime.
because it looks spooky it must be hauntrd?
@@garymeacham7353 of course! 😊
I really appreciate what you're doing, I can watch these videos all day long. Thank you.
Thank you, so much, for sharing this! Reminds me of the historical cemeteries of Dumfries, Fredericksburg & Alexandria, Virginia.
Great cemetery with interesting tombstones, that’s what I love the best the beautiful epitaphs. Felt bad for you and those darn mosquitoes! Hate those nasty buggers. Be safe. Waiting for whatever you present next.
Wow you found a Historical Cemetery .. great job 💯 Thank you
I love that line on the Silas Pearl memorial.... " Its better to wear out than rust out "
It is interesting to see the wives being buried with their maiden names. That was a beautiful boulevard of trees surrounding those graves was so calming. Another great presentation. Thank you.
This is such a beautiful cemetery. I wish you had more time. I wanted to see under the trees where there were more graves. Could spend the day here walking around all this history. Mahalo for taking us here 🌺
What a great video of a beautiful cemetairy. Its a very peaceful place and the birds singing in the back. Sad that you hat to leave so quick
That looks like a spooky cemetery!! I love it!!
Just about the time I was going to point out the oldest graves are generally closest to the church (around the 2:00 mark), you yourself stated that. Neil Young must have read the personal motto on that bronze plaque at the Silas Pearl grave, "Better to wear out than rust out."
"Rust Never Sleeps"
@@jayteadesigns My truck knows that well!
@@jimtownsend7899 😀😄😊😉
Thanks Ron for the tour! I’m really enjoying the Vermont and New Hampshire walks! My in-laws are in this area, and I miss my time in New England (Connecticut). The quality of your videos are first rate and you are an excellent historian (storyteller)!
Wow great cemetery thank you for braving those pesky skitters Ron and thanks to subscribers for adding your knowledge too
Arthur Livermore was an US Congressman and on Find A Grave.

1¹²¹¹ i have no problem finding that one person
That cemetery is laid out very pretty!
Thanks Ron for taking us along another beautiful and peaceful cemetery. I did not think it was creepy at all.
I think this is my favorite cemetery yet. I love the beautiful old Graves. Thank you Ron!
What an amazing cemetery... thank you...
Mounding the graves was customary back in the days of no vaults, when buried in a wood coffin. The graves were mounted because of the inevitable collapse of the grave due to the wood coffin deteriorating and no longer able to hold the weight of the earth above. the mounding provided more material to be spread once the collapse occurred. it was customary to mound the grades after the collapse. Here in Alabama I remember when most all cemeteries had mounded graves,
I cannot thank you enough for taking us us on these fantastic and amazing graveyards. This is such an interesting part of history. I wonder who will be reading my gravestone 100 yrs from now. We will definitely be deciding to have a piece of our lives written on our head stone.❤
Thank-you for fighting the mosquitoes and rain to show us this amazing cemetery! As always another great video!
Awesome cemetery....the fog was so cool....glad no one ventured from beyond from the woods 😁. Awww was hoping to see that building and the bunker type thing from the beginning.....oh well. Stay safe our fearless leader especially on the road with rain 💗🕊️
I am loving all these old cemeteries you are showing!.
I LOVE that Sarah's stone has been Repaired.
Really enjoyed this one. The old ones are so amazing. In a lot of old cemeteries the only markers some have are trees so it's possible more are just remembered by trees. Very interesting tour. Thanks for sharing.
This cemetery is peaceful and has classy grace unlike many today with flat monuments they bushhog the grass and just look like cow pastures. I like these old ones. This one is beautiful amid the trees.
Thank you for the little tour. That is such a beautiful place, and the trees are breathtaking.
I loved this cemetery, you could lose an entire day walking around looking at the old gravestones. And it would be worth it. With a lot of those graves being under those big pine tree's not much grass grows on the graves to be mowed, mostly just pine needles and vines, helps make the grave sites look even older. It was very interesting seeing those graves with the ground mounded up on them. A great find Ron.😀👍 Stay safe out there on your trip.💟🙂
I got my bachelor's degree from Southern New Hampshire University this year at 56 years old (hey better late than never, right?) and I'm going to try to go to the in-person graduation ceremony if I can afford it. If so, I may have to check out some of these places you've visited. This one was especially interesting!
Congrats to you!!
Congrats... I graduated at 55. Am 84 now. Love these videos.
@@Regina0964 I couldn't afford it either. My work paid for almost all of it.
Congratulations Lisa on getting your bachelor's degree!🎉 Always better late than never at all.😀💟
Congratulations!! XXXX
What a cool little stop it was, I would have watched for hours. Thank you, Ron, I really liked it. Beautiful cemetery. 💖
I wanted to see more!!!
Imagine that many of the people in that cemetery were alive at the time Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died in 1826 - and got the news on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence as they were celebrating it.....and some at the time of Washington's death in 1799.
Gosh, Ron.. I just so love your videos! The history, the scenery and beauty of it all. Me thinks cemeteries are the only peaceful places on the planet these days.
Thank you so much for doing what you do and taking us all along with you!! 💕
Very very good video. Love the old graves and how alot of them are in good conditon. It's amazing how this cemetery looks so good. Yeah love the peaceful atmosphere ann the fig and trees. It's all so beutiful. Very good find my friend and video.👍😊
Gorgeous, love the pinetrees and the beautiful Stones!
I could literally spend days here , such a beautiful graveyard ❤️
I absolutely love how excited you are in these videos. I am much the same when i find a new cemetery to explore.
Really enjoyed this one! Wish we could go back again, and maybe again................ Thank You!
We never stop learning. Thank you. It is so interesting.
The humps over the graves are 😧 crazy.. can someone find out why?? I never seen that before.. ever!
Ty Ron for stopping off there...
Wonder if they were sinking in at some point, so they over filled thinking it would settle back down to level???
I'd love to go there and spend the day. So awesome. Love old places.
Thanks for the overall tours. 🇺🇸
Great one Ron! Looking forward to the next one! Xx
Great tour ! I would definitely spend hours there ! The first headstone was a Senator ! From 1700s !!!! Loved it !
My Bucket list is to get to Massachusetts- they have a church there and headstones buried in basement. Plus love to see Samuel Adams grave . Boston , Granary Cemetery.
Love these old cemetery’s! Great find!
Wow 105 years old 😲 thanks Ron
Such a moving walk with you
Thank you Ron.
BLESSINGS FROM OZ.
Hi Ron, loving your series. Great filming and story telling.
It’s great how you find these little stories of American history tucked away in all these places
The arrangement of the trees brings out the mystic
of the cemetery.
New headstones are beautiful but nothing beats an old cemetery with very old headstones that are stunningly beautiful in my eye's. The older the cemetery, the more history and unique stone's comes with it. Some women enjoy shopping in malls, not this gal, a day in an old cemetery reading history does it for me. ❤️💀❤️
Thank you so much for the walk Ron. This one is really cool. I love to read the really old gravestones too. 🤓
5:41 Mr. Pearl’s motto: “Better to wear out than rust out.” Hard working man.
I love everything about this cemetery, I wish I had a big picture of it I would look at it all the time, and pretend I was there, it just makes me have good feelings. Thank you ❤️
I love this cemetery! If you're actually "in" the clouds, you dont have to worry about being rained on right? 😜
I love your excitement at seeing the old gravestones! I have lived in CT my entire life, and I have had the opportunity to visit many old cemeteries, including ones in CT, VT, ME, NH, NY, Boston, Plymouth, and Sturbridge, MA, Newport, RI (one of my favorite places in the world), and the list goes on. My late father and I used to enjoy walking through cemeteries to look at the stones. It is a lesson in history! Watching your videos has reignited that fire in me, so thank you!! I'm really enjoying your NH series, but all of your videos are well done and a pleasure to watch!! Thanks for a other great video!!!
i absolutely love watching your vids....love love it
Happy you’re part of the “Gang” 😀
What a great cemetery!
I recently came upon your channel, I am also a history and cemetery buff. I really love your videos, really great context and backstories to so many of the graves. Several times after I watch one of your videos, it inspires me to dig deeper into some of the stories. Really awesome channel! Keep doing it as long as you're able! God Bless! Subscribed!
Welcome and thank you!!
I love the huge trees. Very green. The cloud and fog so picturesque for a graveyard.
Such a beautiful graveyard. The Celtic cross was so hidden I doubt I would have seen it if you hadn't pointed it out.
11:30 and 15:03 and 17:03 and 18:23 I love the shading of nearly all the tombstones. White with lots of black and some charcoal gray growing on them. It reminds me of my charcoal and chaulk artwork that I did in highschool and college. Before I got too busy with work to enjoy being artistic. I like those 3 colors together. Never knew it happened on stones until I started watching videos of cemeteries about 12 wks back.
This looks Like a fascinating graveyard with the layout and aged tombstones so interesting. I bet some of the life histories of these people would be worth looking up. Thank you Ron, take care 🇦🇺
Wow! This was a good video. I bet it was hard to leave this cemetery, I mean people born in the 1700’s sheesh I’d have a hard time leaving for sure.
Thanks Sir,
Was a Nice walk,
Take Care and
Stay Blessed 🙏
Really great video Ron I so admire your passion for respecting The forgotten faces Diane from AUSTRALIA. Take care Ron -
Amazing find, Ron! I think you need to book an Airbnb and stay in New England for at least a Month 😉😊
😁 I second that! So many neat cemeteries there.
Thank you for taking us with on your adventures!
By far this has to be my favorite cemetery, and I want to thank you for all your videos. I appreciate all your amazing work, thank you.
this was an enchanting walk!! a roadside find. I had to pull over!!
Love the false crypts (the ones encased in cement boxes) that shows they were important or had money
YOUR awesome Ron you had me cracking up when you said got to go got to rap it up and you keep going thank you for sharing your passion of graveyards with us love your viedos
I love your random “quickies”. 19min long lol. Longer than some of your more planned and thought out episodes.
The further north you go, you'll see many graves dating back to pre revolutionary war. Upstate NY has many.
Beautiful state, Vermont.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful cemetary. Stay safe🙏
what a marvelous gem you found here!!.....the son Samuel of Arthur Livermore was lost at sea on board ??? steamer?? i cant make it out at 2:45 and its driving me nuts......from some quick research it looks like 3 generations of Livermores were involved in politics dating back to the 1760s all throughout New England!!!Samuels sons Arthur and Edward are there with a grandson also named Samuel that died at sea ....apparently a ghost ship from rhode island named "princess augusta" is tied to the grandfather as well.......big salute to you on this one sir so enlightening the Russell and Pearl memorials....that amazing woman lived to be 105 too!!!...had to come back and update:the ship was called "Steamer Pulaski" and it exploded off the carolina coast in 1838 with 128 lives lost including Samuel Livermore....such an interesting family
10:40 is my new wallpaper!....blessed child angel leaves me speechless
I’ve only seen the raised mounds in New Hampshire & Vermont. Some graves I’ve come across in Vermont were the opposite of raised, sunken in, like the casket gave way & the earth above sunk in
Great videos Ron. I have always wanted to go to Vermont!
I love how you laugh at yourself all the time I do that myself. That was a beautiful grave yard full of history maybe you will go back there when you have more time!🇨🇮
Lovely tour. Hope all those graves are in peace with God. Look forward to the next video.
There is actually an old one room schoolhouse in the middle of a cemetery in a city in New Hampshire. Schoolkids would go for a field trip there and learn about it, then get to explore the graveyard. At least they did about forty years ago when I was one of the schoolkids.
My kind of field trip 😀
@@Regina0964 I hope they will as well. We went only one class (25-30 kids) at a time since that was how small the building is. We learned how to write with quills, which was fun when you’re a lefty. I can’t remember what age I was, but it was neat. The cemetery is right on a main thoroughfare in the south of town, in the midst of the shopping district. No parking, but still neat to drive by. Some of the graves were just post revolutionary war.
Oh wow that celtic cross.. wow.
Oh thank you so much for taking us along on these trips. :D
Ron I’m loving your videos that you did in Vermont 🥰❤️🌹
Gorgeous Cemetery!! I love the Pine Trees and the NorthEast!
Amazing beautiful cemetery wow thank you so much
How wide are those 1700 grave markers? I asked before In live chat but don't think you seen that.they don't look to wide. *By the way, poor Samuel, I feel bad for him, how the heck can he be burried between 2 wives and actually rest in peace* ?
😂😂
😅
😂👍
What gets me is when you walk through a cemetery and there are a row (not many) of tomb
stones group together away from the others.
There is a cemetery in Somerville Tenn.
Not sure of the name though.
It's up on a hill.
It has a very old section and a new section.But on a very sunny day if you look towards the older section,you will see the sunlight rays shine the darkness of the older section.
It gave me weird feeling.
But it kept me drawn towards that part of the cemetery. I was at a gravesite service which was
in the new part.But I kept staring towards the older part.
Good evening Ron hope u are well 👍👍❤️❤️
Yay! Your first time here? I am orig from northern Massachusetts and live in southern New Hampshire now! Cape cod mass has many old ones that were lost at sea. And it is like heaven there!
On Arthur Livermore’s stone (the one you mentioned who was born in 1766), below his name is his son Samuel. I could read that he was lost in the wreck of the Pulaski. I looked that up and found some interesting information. There was a crew of seven, plus 150-160 passengers aboard. The cause of the wreck was a blown starboard boiler. One survivor believed that only 54 people survived the wreck.
I found Samuel Livermore’s name on a list of those lost in the wreck. At the time, he was living in Savannah, Georgia.
Very very interesting, thanks for looking into that. Wow
@@FacesoftheForgotten Thank you for sharing your passion with us! I’m hooked!
Thank you again Ron and I really enjoyed the video. God Bless and have a great day.
Thank you
