STORY:
Reuben Smith was not a wealthy man. He lived on Main Street in a boarding house and passed his leisure time reading the evening paper.
Nothing seemed eccentric about him.
That is, until he died...
THIS CHANNEL:
_________________________________________________________
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.

It would be interesting to see if there are any old photos of him before he was buried.
Maybe we can right his name down and the year he died and see if his picture of him?
I'm surprised there isn't one, it being such a spectical.
All those reporters and none of them thought to bring a camera?? That would have been a great memento mori photograph
Ron, your the best storyteller ever...thank you for taking us along with you.
I was laughing while you were looking for an opening to see in. I was like yes, Ron is doing what we all want to do. His chair may still be in decent shape, but his bones are brittle and probably scattered a bit from falling down.
😂😂😂😂 Funny ending,, too! Thank you Ron! You are such a character! 😂😂😂
Depends how much moisture got in
Another good one. Living in a rooming house, one would think he didn't have much money but apparently he had to cover his burial with all the "specialities".
If you're morbid, Ron, then we are too. Most of us would be right in there with you to see what's in there. This one was creepy and fascinating at the same time. I really wonder what Mr. Smith's real-life story was. Eccentric for sure! Great work, Ron. You never disappoint.
I agree 😊
Rueben, it might be said, was a tad eccentric. To say the least! Ron, you began creeping me out via Rueben’s request to have a woman sit with him all night. Whoa! I want to look inside too, Ron!! Love the pumpkins on some of the headstones in the cemetery. 🎃
Ron, couldn't help but think,when you were down on the ground,'I wonder what he would say if someone walked-up on him?' Also, I almost cut my finger at the end...I was cutting apples for a pie, while watching and listening to this vlog..looked down and then back up as you changed Ruebans face! Caught me off guard!!! Lol!!! Thanks for a good story and a nice scare. Take care.
"just trying to see if l could get a snake camera in there for a better look!!" Is what he should say 😂😂😂, but a graveyard Karen would be awful taxing, can you imagine!?.
Great effects at the end Ron. I sure wasn't expecting Rubén to change into a vampire all of a sudden, and it startled me. Thanks for the story and the scare. 🐈⬛🎃👻🕷🐈⬛🎃👻🕷🐈⬛🎃👻🕷
If ol Ruben been sittin in that iron chair all these years... I bet his bum is sore...
Mr. James sure thought highly of himself! Hahaha no woman would collect on that sack of money to go sit with him... I wonder if he cheated at checkers *wink wink* hahaha.
Imagine getting a permit today for that little funeral parade!
Great story Ron! I love the quirky ones!
Safe travels my friend, and Blessed be!
It's interesting that the newspapers described him as a freak. He was just ahead of his time.
Darn. So close, yet so far with the camera. I would have taken the money to sit in there. It's not like the old guy could hurt me or anything. Loved the end of the video. Thank you, Ron. Blessings from Michigan. By the way, I watched a video where a man dug up a grave in Poland. SO interesting to see what was/wasn't left.
funny that you would have paid to sit, love it!!!!!!
I would have done it too, but would have wanted a lantern or oil lamp with me. No sitting in the dark with him! I would have sat and read to him the newspapers that he had missed after passing, lol!
Your not morbid Ron! I,d like to see in there as well my friend. The suspense has got me now. Shucks!❤😂 Jeez Ron, that ending made my cat fly in the air off my stomach!😂
😅
Ron, you do tend to get rather morbid around Halloween, 🎃 and I love it. As long as you give respect also, as you always do. Thanks for doing the stories and traveling that the rest of us can't do.
Ron, this was just great and yes, I wondered what it looked like inside as well. Just a darn good story and Reuben , although a tad eccentric, sounded harmless to me, I kind of had a spot in my heart for him. I wonder if I could have summoned the nerve to sit for a night in there with him??? I just may have done it, if assured I could take a lantern in or some source of light and also, someone would come to let me out at a specified time in the morning! And BTW, Ron.....you really freaked me out with that sudden change to the photograph ! It was totally unexpected! 😮🎃😮
Just a wholesome old man with a great sense of humor, bless him
Interesting story. I always wonder when people make these kind of arrangements what do they think death is. These arrangements are just for them. They’re not on display to continue to let people know who they were when alive. I would have loved to have talked to the paper boy. Thanks Ron for another fun story.👻🎃💀
Thank you Ron - love the atmosphere of the misty graveyard! I've been struggling a bit recently but find these videos fascinating and it takes my mind off things. Good to watch on a winters night! Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃
Wow, the weather really sets up the atmosphere, beautiful monuments made back then❤
I'd love to see inside. Thank you Ron for making this Halloween season fun and exploratory. This is my favorite holiday of the season.
I love cemeteries & in my mind I’m always looking underground/into. Intriguing & I think you feel the same.
We are all holding our breath just hoping you can find an opening.
You know just how to make me jump!!!!! You scared me when u peeked in that hole. I just knew some ferocious animal would pop out.
You are NOT morbid, Ron! You, Sir, are TENACIOUS!! And we love you for it!😅
Interesting how they use the term freak in the news article.
You may want to return with the snake cam and look inside for us por favor señor Ron! Very intriguing 🧐
Love those type of stories! You got me yet again Ron with that creepy laugh and then the scream at the end it just made my blood run cold for a second 😂 Love from Newfoundland 🇨🇦
We’re all curious! I would be both excited and grossed out to see him! 😂😂
What a straight tail of this man thank's for sharing ron...
love ur bio pic john!
@@meycoe the one n only jack nicholson lol
Always look forward to seeing every walk about you do Ron. Thank you.
I’m sorry, but you got me at the ending, , RON 😂, when his face turned into a zombie face.. YIKES 😱.. Yeah I wanna see inside
Amesbury isn't far from where I grew up. Our high school football team played theirs every year. I've never heard this strange story before, but we do have a number of eccentrics in Massachusetts! As always, thanks for sharing, Ron. You're the BEST!!!
This was great! If I was back home, I'd buy a snake camera just to see this for you. TY!!!
Back in the 80s, I used to get a morning and an evening paper from the Indianapolis Star. No internet do they had lots to print!
You have been busy this Halloween month. I love this channel. Just as soon as I get notification of a new video, I drop everything to watch it. Thank you for the stories Ron!
Interesting man and burial. Good ending and music to this video. Great presentation, Ron.
I should've known better, but that ending gave me a jolt.
ahahaha
Old Rubin was quite the edgelord of the nineteenth century. Come on baby, dont fear the reaper now give me my paper. 😂
Thanks!. great video. Happy Halloween 🎃 👻 🎃 Ron and everyone .Have a safe and great weekend
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@FacesoftheForgottenyour welcome
Wow I am here in Chicopee Massachusetts and yes that cemetery is very beautiful
Used to work in Chicopee Bernies boxcar restaurant best prime rib I’ve ever had!
I would have done the same....looked for every crack or crevice in the structure to get a chance of a glimpse inside. Great minds think alike (?) 🤔 Such a great tale. Thanks aga, Ron, for another spellbinder. Your series leading up to Halloween have been fantastic!
Interesting, bizarre, and somewhat humorous story, with such a creepy ending! So many questions about this guy, and, oooooh yes, I want to see inside, too!! Great story for Halloween, Ron.
Oh well, what ever blows your skirt up😮 Do you think they would let someone be buried like that today. Thanks Ron good video😊
lol Ron leave it to you to make us gasp at the end I love it , I think he’s slumped down holding his head so he can read his newspaper ❤
Ron i think all your fans would really like to see inside that tomb.
Always great and interesting videos you bring us.
That would be really cool to see that!! Always keep a snake camera handy lol. Another great story by one of the best! .... that ending 😵😳😨
Yeah I love his videos. I'd love to see one of his seminars or speeches he gives. I'd like him to visit the mutter museum in Philadelphia if he's ever in the area. Take care!
stay tuned, someone says they ae going tomorrow with the snake camera....if they see him, I will post it.
@@FacesoftheForgotten I'm glued!!
Thanks for sharing this story. RIP Rwuben😢
Cool story Ron!I'm from massachusetts.been living in Florida for 16 years now!I miss visiting my dead family 🦇 members in Worcester county Massachusetts.
Hi Ron ,
I haven't been here for a while & i sure missed you & the Gang ,Thank You for your Great Work !
Forgotten No More........
so the pretty stone with the pink roses was al capp. cartoonist
I wish I knew you would be in Massachusetts. I'm from the Berkshires and there is a cemetery in Stockbridge, Massachusetts where some of my family is buried. My Great Grandfather (x5) died serving in the civil war and his body was returned to Massachusetts from Virginia. He was in the 57th Massachusetts, C company. He's buried in the same row that leads to the "Sedgwick Circle". That's where "Mum Bet" Elizabeth Freeman is buried. She sued her owners for her freedom in the 1700's and won. The last I saw, her stone was in amazing condition. Norman Rockwell is also buried there. Along with many civil war vets I also believe some patriots from the American Revolution are buried there as well. It was established in 1748. The cemetery is located across from the Red Lion Inn located in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. An extremely interesting history there.
This was thr best one yet Ron .. very creepy and haunting and I loved it... Great story Ron!!...Ty for all you do sir.... Happy Halloween 🎃👻!!
If he's in a sarcophagus, you would only see that if you looked inside.
lets see it!!
Trying to play catch up. IT classes are intense. Stress is huge! But FOTF is a great respite. I'm discovering that watching your videos without the live works better for me. When my class is done and my finances swing around I will contribute financially to FOTF. Thank you for sharing.❤️
you have the heart of a archeologist as do we Ron.
That was so awesome! I was tilting my head trying to see in!🤣🤣
Ron this was so good. Fun fun fun. 😂
Hi Ron I would love to see inside as well. All my life I have walked through cemeteries looking at all the grave stones! I guess I’m morbid too.
What you did with his picture at the end made my hot cocoa go down the wrong tube lol.
Okay Ron, you win, you made me jump when you changed his picture into a monster...but it was a fun scary jump!!
A million thank to you.⚘️🌻😊
Dust remains...! Thanks for another great tale Ron.
Can you imagine putting your torch at that hole in the bottom of the mausoleum and seeing an eye looking back at you. 😁
I want to see inside too... If the chair was iron it should still be there. But the table and his remains are probably mush...I really need to stop watching your videos when im doing something... That ending almost caused me to drop a pot on my foot...lol... Great job Ron...
Ron! You scared the junk outta me at the end there!!!! 😂 I would love to see inside too! I’m morbid like that! That one and also the one of the bride in her rocking chair!
Ron you scared the heck out of me with the photograph at the end. I will have nightmares now lol. Great walk and story, thanks for taking us along. 😅❤
HA!! Nice touch at the end LOL.
We’re all with you to want to look inside…😂 I just love how people actually carried out his wishes…not just him, but all of “weird “ requests from other people…it’s wonderful..
Good story. I like the part of him inviting women to spend the night - how spooky is that!
RIP Ruben John Smith 💐.
My new favorite one. This started out a little amusing - then ramped up to very creepy scary!! Thank goodness u did not have your snake camera….
What a cool story!! I'm right up the way in Maine 🇺🇸 I am with Ron! Would love to see inside!
Wow! What a story Ron!! Salutes from Graciela In Tampa, Florida.🎉🎉🎉
Great jump scare at the end.
Wow! I would pay money to see a pic of him in that state! Great story, Ron!
Sad the paper called him a freak😞 Almost had a heart attack at the end with the face changing like that plus the scream😵 Yes would like a peel❤️🎃☠️🎃❤️
Me too! 😅
Spooky Halloween vlog!
Pretty with all the stone work and nice that someone has been caring for it and repairing it to keep it sealed and protected.
Creepy ending & kinda funny too. Thx Ron, catching the Halloween spirit for sure. 🎃 👻
Great story this one, and I would say he was a little bit eccentric 😂
Great work Ron 🇦🇺👍

Was he a lonely bachelor?🤣
Love how you tell the story every time. Thank you Ron for sharing this.
I do the same thing you did here. As a matter of fact I was walking around an old cemetery yesterday and found a few you could see inside of. I’m glad I’m not the only one lol. Love that scream at the end 😄
Love this story, and what a neat place. Great job, Ron!❤
I find your videos so relaxing to watch Ron. And I am the same way, morbid and intrigued! 😁
Morbidly curious here, too!!
Thanks Ron for sharing this beautiful cemetery and great story.
Great video Ron, that would be awesome to see in there, too bad it can't be done. Good job on reading the article Ron, you have a perfect story telling voice. That jump scare at the end made me jump. Take care, looking forward to your next video.
Oh Wow!!!I was hoping Ron, you could see inside there
Another great video Ron. I enjoy walking and sitting in cemeteries as its so peaceful.
I totally want to see inside too!!! I am always so curious! Just like you.
No Worries Ron, I'm curious too!
You just absolutely rock!🖤🌻

Wow Ron into making horror movie. Lol the ending was scary.

Very interesting. Thank you Ron. God bless
Ron you're so morbid! Bahahaha I'd love to be able to see whats in there. Great story! Thank you for sharing
ron you are on a roll, thank you!
He must have thought by sitting up in a chair with his newspaper beside him, he would live immortally and not die like Pharaohs brought favorite things with him for the afterlife to enjoy.
