Some of the women were beyond Beautiful. Beauty in that time period was so different then today!! Lot of tragedy. I always wonder how they died, what kind of life they had, what kind of people they were. I can study old pictures like that for hours. I did subscribe to your videos. Thank you for doing this and taking us along !!👍👍🇺🇸🗽😊😊
Ya know, he has inspired me to start hitting my local cemeteries and tell the stories of the people there (that I knew) or we're related to. There really is a void in that topic... Most of the cemetery visiting channels do stores about victims of crimes, or famous (or infamous) people, or people who historical figures, ect. But my goal is to tell the story of the 'normal' everyday person who helped build the local cities, worked at the local cotton gins, or were Farmers that helped start the area. And there are a dozen or two people who were actually Friends of mine who I'll be doing a video on, who were interesting and I'm doing my best to find their pictures in my stuff in storage. I hope to shed a spotlight on the 'normal' person who would otherwise not be remembered, from other than their Family....
My grandmother was born in Italy and my father was first generation born in America 🇺🇸, I am so interested in everything you do and all the information you do before your videos. Thank you for for everything you share with us. My father is no longer with me,he served in Vietnam. Thank you for being so kind to our veterans, I appreciate it.
I would dearly love to spend a couple of days exploring Mount Carmel. I rewatch time and time again as there is always something I missed. I’m like you Ron, I love the porcelain pictures.
That’s what got me started when I was seven or eight years old living next-door to Saint Adalbert cemetery in Niles. It was those porcelain pictures I would get memorized over -who were they?... and what their stories? were. That never gets old.
THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THE STONES AND THE MAUSOLEUMS ARE SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT, AND THOSE PICTURES ARE JUST SO BEAUTIFUL, LOOKS LIKE U CAN JUST REACH THROUGH AND TOUCH THEM , I MUST SAY YOU GIVE THEM SO MUCH DIGNITY , THEY ARE NEVER FORGOTTEN NOW , MAY THEY ALL REST IN ETERNAL GLORY WITH THE LORD 🕊🙏💔😥
During the late 20's and early 30's many young and old died due to tuberculosis outbreak , some entire familes were taken out within of few years of each other
I was curious why so many died so young I love seeing the pictures, I would love to come across some and just study the pictures and wonder about their life.
Yup, add to that a flu epidemic during the later part of the 1910's as well. Disease ran rampant. Want to know what helped bring that under control? Vaccines.
Many thanks for posting! The one thing I like about U.S cemeteries is how immaculate they are. Despite the large geographical size in comparison to English cemeteries, the grass is regularly cut and the tombs are kept clean. You are right in stating that the porcelain photo plaques are irreplaceable from that era as the one recurring theme of those lovely looking faces, is how early in life they passed. That is truly sad. How they passed, I will never know, but not being able to see the world change and evolve from the 20's onwards is sad. They have missed out on some much history and right at the end when you took a close up of 9 year old Natale Ruggerio's plaque with him lying in his coffin, that really hits home, because had he lived, he would be 102 years old this December and maybe one of the oldest persons in the U.S. I have everything to be thankful for in life and nothing to complain about.
Found it interesting that the 9 year old was born on Dec. 19 and my youngest son was born Dec. 18 and is forever 9 years old. Also interesting side note, my dad was born 14DEC1919. He died 03OCT2013. He would have turned 101 on 14DEC2020 Things that make you go, 'hmmmm'
There are some graves where my grandparents are buried that used to have these porcelain photos on them. They scared me as a child, not sure why? Sadly the photos have all been vandalized and removed or shot and broken. I really love the photos now, I always think what kind of lives they had. I also love old cemeteries with carved monuments and mausoleums. Thanks for the tour!
Eternal rest Grant unto them O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them may their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace Amen
Beautiful video, thanks for sharing. I love it when people leave the photos myself for exactly what you said. Its like a time machine feeling when you look and reflect on the photos.
7:23 is why we went with a laser etched picture of our youngest son on his gravestone. It was suggested to us by the engraver in an email to go that way instead of the porcelain photo medallion. He told us that the medallion pictures can fall out or be removed. We are very happy with the laser etch photo
So nice you are visiting these cemeteries and graves---we get to see such beauty , and you are honoring these people . Thank you. I am happy to have come across your channel .
As long as there are people who visit these cemeteries they will never be forgotten. I was on vacation and because of you i saw a small cemetery and pulled over. It was well cared for. I walked the whole cemetery. I found a maker with my first & second name on it she passed at 65. I'll be 65 this yr. It kind of spooked me. But it was a nice walk.💕
Since a friend made me aware of your channel, I have really been enjoying and appreciating your videos. I love the porcelain photos too. The devotion which these folks had for their departed loved ones really touches me. I can only imagine how much these mausoleums and statues cost to construct. Such love and devotion! Really warms the heart. ❤️
Beautiful headstones, sculptures, beautiful children so young, beautiful women, handsome men. Some gone too soon. I like looking at pictures on grades makes me wonder how their lives Were. I would put flowers there. Thanks for the tour
I noticed on the Errera family (11:41) the dad died on 23 March 1919 and the baby died on 24 March 1919. I cannot imagine losing a husband and a baby in a 24 hour period.
I so enjoy your videos. Brings back memories of my Dad and myself walking through cemeteries looking at head stones. We lived in Joliet, Il. Thank you.
8:50 This is a very sad story of 2 people who share a tombstone and a death day. They lived very close in the same neighborhood (it's now ironically the medical district), and even had the same doctor. They were probably related by marriage as nephew and aunt. Vito Vincenzo "James/Jimmie" Baraglia, AUG 06 1906, JULY 04 1926, 19 yrs, 10 mo, 28 dys, nephritis, kidney inflammation caused by infections, toxins, or most often an autoimmune disorder. Father is Cristoforo "Christ", mother is Anne Marie. Concetta Rocco Baraglia, DEC 8 1880, JULY 04 1926, 46 yrs, 7 mo, 24 dys, myocarditis, a viral infection that weakens the heart. Husband Pasquale "Charles" Baraglia.
We have a large grave yard in my town, and because of the kind of job l had, l know dozens of the people who are buried there, and l know the stories of most of them. A lot of the stories are interesting, and we have mausoleums built into the side of a hill. I live in Indiana.
Wow, it does take you back looking at the beautiful porcelain pictures and when you panned your camera back, i think it just shows just how many people are buried there rather than just seeing stones or monuments, amazing video thank you.
The children's tombstones are so sad. They didn't have a chance at life, it's so sad. I love the pictures on the tombstones. The cemeteries, in Chicago are beautiful 💙🥰
I can imagine when a baby, young child, only child, young adult who died suddenly in the prime of life would occur, the grief could easily cause families to spend lots of money and have huge monuments made in loving memory. Also, in those older eras: big fancy funerals and titamic cemetery monuments were ways for the proponent citizens as well as the very wealthy to out-do each other.
Came across your channel and subscribed immediately. You wonder what their story was especially for dying so young. Love the pictures as well. Thank you for sharing
Love your videos! Great and often sad stories. I love how you narrate the stories of the deceased with respect. I have always had interests in Mausoleums as well. Have you ever visited Recoleta in Buenos Aires, Argentina? Amazing and interesting mausoleums down there. You can actually see the coffins down there.
I’ve never been to Argentina, now that will be a trip. I’ll have to look into that someday. I’ve been to Columbia, Ecuador, Peru. But not way down south.
recently found your channel and it is fabulous. Love, love the commentary and your wanderings. On the subject of how young people were when the passed, there are multiple factors. The biggest being lack of medicine or medical care. They did not have antibiotics for typhus, yellow fever, etc, no vaccines for deadly diseases like diphtheria. Even a simple appendicitis back in the teens to 50’s was fatal. My two sense sending ❤️ from 🇨🇦
Elusive bygone era of such elegance...class and style.. May they have eternal peace.. Great and respectful videos.. Thank you for your heartfelt kindness and sharing..🙏
PFC Joseph Biancalana was son of Violet (1903-1929) whose maiden name was DeGrande. He was not interred until 1948 by the time they moved him from Europe (he was KIA in France).
Super interesting. Thanks for taking the time to do this. The cemetery is close to my house and I have loved one buried here. Next time maybe you can mention the Italian bride.
13:21 Rosa (Rose) Zangara Intravartolo, 24 yrs, 7 mo, lung abcess, born May 23 1909 to Frank and Mary (Cipriano), died Feb 08 1943. Rose and husband Santo (Santis, Sam) married July 08 1928, they had baby Lucia on Jan 31 1934, 8 days before Rose died. I can't find anything else about Lucia. Sam remarried in Sept 18 1937. Lucia was not with them in the 1940 census. He lived for 98 years, dying in 2001 in Chicago, buried at All Saints.
What beautiful pictures of the women! Dying so young - I'm guessing if we look up diseases of the time we might find an answer. Thank-you for taking us along. Have a nice day! 🙂
I think at most cemeteries if you report that there's any damage to the graves like pictures coming off or damage to the stone they will fix it for free and you don't even have to be related to the person and all you have to do is know the name on the Stone and the coordinates of the grave, which a lot of them have number right on the side of Stone. So since you're there I think it would be a great idea if you let the office know and thanks for keeping everyone's memory alive.
I used to love walking in this cemetery. I always felt safe rather than creeped out. I've always wondered who the people were, why they died, what they're wearing, what their caskets look like, etc. Wish there were a catalog of some kind
Wow it is so overwhelming sad that so many died so young. With modern medicine today the life expectancy has grown exponentially, with most living into their 70' or 80's. So much we take for granted
Ron, you stopped at the resting places of so many young people in this one. We are such a fragile species. In 1980 at age 18, the month before I started college I caught a "simple" case of strep-throat. After a night of fever and hallucinations, I remember saying "Mom, I'm dying." She got me to the ER where they put me on the miracle drug of the 20th century- broad spectrum antibiotiotics. That wasn't the end of it; the strep poisoned me & I went to my first quarter of school in a wheelchair and spent 3 more years recovering from the holes it left in my bones. But I lived! I have a feeling that so many of these young people, from one to 29 years old could have been saved- had they just been born in the 2nd half of the last century or later. You are right, those were some beautiful pictures of young ladies and young men. I feel like people our age were so fortunate to be born in the age we were. That is why we find them so very haunting. "There but for the grace of God, go we."🙏🏼
I love how you take the time to honor these people; whether they were famous or not. I just started watching your channel yesterday, so forgive me if this is a topic that you've covered: have you covered the case of the Grimes sisters? That's a case that has haunted me for quite some time.
That’s one of my earlier videos, scroll down and there’s others like it! Thanks for letting me know, I’m glad to have you with us. Here for your convenience is the link and I think you’ll enjoy watching it, I hope: let me know 🙂 ua-cam.com/video/iopWHw2XlJU/v-deo.html
Do they not do those porcelain photo plaques anymore? It's quite beautiful, and while it seems to be a regional thing, I think it would be nice to still be able to get them.
The porcelean pictures on the tombs.... have they always been there? Did they have the technology back in the 20's or 30's to print these or were these put there later on? I've never seen this. Beautiful.
I have read that before the 1940's children often died before they were 5 years old. A lot of women who died young were those who died in childbirth. Sad times.
So many young people. Many look like they are from the early movies, just like you said. It is just so sad that many died so young. What were their lives like? To bad the can not tell us but I am curious. Thank you for sharing!
That one woman name is pronounced like con-che-tta. Very Italian name you don't hear it often. I love that name. :) I too have a fascination with cemeteries. I used to wonder around all the time and c take a look. So hard to resist. The curiosity gets me every time.
11:00 see below for 12/25/24 edit. ANTONIA AND MARIA GIANCANA. Maria "Mary", 2nd wife, 41 yrs, 8 mo, auto accident 1926. Looking thru the book online, but I can't find Antonia (Anna, 1886 to 1910, 1st wife, and mother to mobster Sam) in the Archdiocese book for Mount Carmel. I'll keep looking. If anyone knows anything please tell me. Thanks. 12/25/24. Merry Christmas. I found how Antonia died: Septic endoneuritis is a rare condition where an infection causes inflammation of the endoneurium, the protective layer surrounding nerve fibers, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness. This can be caused by bacterial, viral, or fungal infections.
Long, cruel hours of work, bitter Chicago winters, poor starchy food, no food. Diabetes, squalor, tuberculosis, malnutition, ricketts. Bad water through lead pipes. Dyptheria. Polio. Measles, Scarlet fever. Mumps.Pneumonia. Violence, alcohol, poverty. What are their stories? So many.
AS ALWAYS RON ANOTHER GREAT WALK THROUGH HISTORY AND TIME , LOL 😆😆😆 THAT MARY STATUE INSIDE THAT GLASS OF THE CRYPT DOOR 👻👻 GOOD THING YOU DIDN'T GO THROUGH AT NIGHT YOU'D NEED A CLEAN PAIR OF SHORTS LOL 😆😆😆 TAKE CARE FOLK👌👌
I just found and subscribed to your channel. Thank you for showing us the beautiful memorials of every day people and how they honored their loved ones in stone. You have inspired me to wander our cemeteries here in western New York. We have many beautiful ones in the Buffalo area. I have previously been to an refugee slave cemetery in Fort Erie Ontario and viewed the grave of a Titanic survivor in Stevensville Ontario. I now wish that I had taken photos as I will probably never return there.
I like to see the lengths of their lives, and I imagine that a lot of the women who died so young did so from childbirth. And the depending on the place in history some of the young men died in war. So sad to see the babies, and what might they have died from: SIDS, plague.... Also in the earlier years of the 20th century cancer was a death sentence.
I came back to watch this again for the second time. I saw a really huge gravestone at the Hollywood cemetery, can't remember the name of it. And I saw the big complex that was for the Swepps. What's the biggest actual gravestone you've come across and what is the biggest resting place complex you've ever seen? Did anyone ever build a full-size house on top of their grave?
There is a soul behind each one of the faces in your videos and I believe you (I also now that I watched the video) will see these faces again when it's time to pass over into the next chapter of existence.
Some of the women were beyond Beautiful. Beauty in that time period was so different then today!! Lot of tragedy. I always wonder how they died, what kind of life they had, what kind of people they were. I can study old pictures like that for hours. I did subscribe to your videos.

real natural beauty!

I agree and I also subscribed!
I left similar comment a few days ago..i totally, absolutely feel you..

More of this please, I love seeing the faces of the departed and wonder too how they lived and died.
Considering how basic photographic equipment was in the first half of the twentieth century,the photographer's created some amazing portraits.
I love this cemetery, you could spend days and days here.. beautiful and the monuments are gorgeous! Ty
The women in the wedding dress,beautiful. May they all rest in peace.
THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THE STONES AND THE MAUSOLEUMS ARE SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT, AND THOSE PICTURES ARE JUST SO BEAUTIFUL, LOOKS LIKE U CAN JUST REACH THROUGH AND TOUCH THEM , I MUST SAY YOU GIVE THEM SO MUCH DIGNITY , THEY ARE NEVER FORGOTTEN NOW , MAY THEY ALL REST IN ETERNAL GLORY WITH THE LORD 🕊🙏💔😥
Pictures of remembrance on these headstones always amaze me. Fabulous clear detail even after 100+ years.
During the late 20's and early 30's many young and old died due to tuberculosis outbreak , some entire familes were taken out within of few years of each other
True
I was curious why so many died so young

Yup, add to that a flu epidemic during the later part of the 1910's as well. Disease ran rampant. Want to know what helped bring that under control? Vaccines.
Yes, I had an aunt on my maternal side and an uncle on my paternal side die from TB

Many thanks for posting! The one thing I like about U.S cemeteries is how immaculate they are. Despite the large geographical size in comparison to English cemeteries, the grass is regularly cut and the tombs are kept clean. You are right in stating that the porcelain photo plaques are irreplaceable from that era as the one recurring theme of those lovely looking faces, is how early in life they passed. That is truly sad.
How they passed, I will never know, but not being able to see the world change and evolve from the 20's onwards is sad. They have missed out on some much history and right at the end when you took a close up of 9 year old Natale Ruggerio's plaque with him lying in his coffin, that really hits home, because had he lived, he would be 102 years old this December and maybe one of the oldest persons in the U.S. I have everything to be thankful for in life and nothing to complain about.
Indeed. Great commentary, I agree with everything.

Also interesting side note, my dad was born 14DEC1919. He died 03OCT2013. He would have turned 101 on 14DEC2020
Things that make you go, 'hmmmm'
Some are neglected/ forgotten and those cemeteries sadden me beyond words😢
There are some graves where my grandparents are buried that used to have these porcelain photos on them. They scared me as a child, not sure why? Sadly the photos have all been vandalized and removed or shot and broken.
I really love the photos now, I always think what kind of lives they had. I also love old cemeteries with carved monuments and mausoleums. Thanks for the tour!
According to my grandfather there was a savage flu outbreak in Chicago in 1916. It was in that year my 3-year-old aunt died from it.
So released to know that I'm not the only person who loves to indulge in cemeteries they're so fasanating
Eternal rest Grant unto them O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them may their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace Amen
Beautiful video, thanks for sharing. I love it when people leave the photos myself for exactly what you said. Its like a time machine feeling when you look and reflect on the photos.

Wow!! Lots of Italians buried there!! Makes me happy!! I’m Italian 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

Maybe in an accident.
Discovered your channel last week. Love your cemetery explorations
Please, keep this up. Totally enjoyable. So much great history 👍
I love that cemetary. Thank you for your time. I appreciate your videos.
Lot of the women pictures are amazing. Like you said . They look like movie stars. Absolutely beautiful
I so enjoy your videos. Brings back memories of my Dad and myself walking through cemeteries looking at head stones. We lived in Joliet, Il. Thank you.
Antonia Giancana the woman who was born 1886 and passed 1910 was the mother of Sam Giancana
No kidding! I’ll have to watch again.
Great video and beautiful porcelain photos. Definetly like the older cemetery tours. Thank you for sharing.

Talk about predominantly Italian cemetery! Wow! Thank you sir, that was beautiful.
Love ❤️💐🌹🌷💝✝️🌺♥️ seeing the faces on the tombstones of the ones that have passed Love ❤️ going along with you on the cemetery walks on UA-cam 🥰🥰👍👍♥️🌹
That uniform James Napalatano (Born 1893) was wearing was a complete American Legion uniform . He was a World War 1 veteran. The videos are great.
Love the videos your voice is very calming I'm from uk thanks for remembering the people that lived before x
I believe all this sadness and heartbreak will be quelled by the overwhelming cries of joy at the Resurrection... Thank you Jesus
Yes!!!!🙏🏽

great work Daniel!!!! Love it.
Another great video. Really like the old pictures.
Super interesting. Thanks for taking the time to do this. The cemetery is close to my house and I have loved one buried here. Next time maybe you can mention the Italian bride.
At 27:49. I see a common theme with young kids dying. Many died in 1918, the year of the Spanish flu.
5:36 Roti children gone too soon. Mary Ann 1937 age 10 yrs 4 mo, appendicitis. Bruno age 3.5 years, influenza. --Kitty
All graves are time machines, love looking at the faces of the parted and wondering what their lives were like.

Thank you so much Gladys!!! 😀
Amazing how theses people died so young, thanks for the video!
Agree 😔🙏💐🌺🌹
Rose Zottoli , what a beautiful young woman.
Fascinating, do they still make portraits like these, can you visit the palace making them for a video, maybe have yours done? 1918 Spanish flu.
Yes, they do. I had one done for my sister. The service is offered by the monument dealer.
I love the graves with the pictures, as you say like stepping back in time
Wow it is so overwhelming sad that so many died so young. With modern medicine today the life expectancy has grown exponentially, with most living into their 70' or 80's. So much we take for granted
Ron, you stopped at the resting places of so many young people in this one.
We are such a fragile species. In 1980 at age 18, the month before I started college I caught a "simple" case of strep-throat. After a night of fever and hallucinations, I remember saying "Mom, I'm dying." She got me to the ER where they put me on the miracle drug of the 20th century- broad spectrum antibiotiotics.
That wasn't the end of it; the strep poisoned me & I went to my first quarter of school in a wheelchair and spent 3 more years recovering from the holes it left in my bones. But I lived!
I have a feeling that so many of these young people, from one to 29 years old could have been saved- had they just been born in the 2nd half of the last century or later.
You are right, those were some beautiful pictures of young ladies and young men. I feel like people our age were so fortunate to be born in the age we were. That is why we find them so very haunting. "There but for the grace of God, go we."🙏🏼
I love how you take the time to honor these people; whether they were famous or not.
I just started watching your channel yesterday, so forgive me if this is a topic that you've covered: have you covered the case of the Grimes sisters? That's a case that has haunted me for quite some time.
That’s one of my earlier videos, scroll down and there’s others like it! Thanks for letting me know, I’m glad to have you with us. Here for your convenience is the link and I think you’ll enjoy watching it, I hope: let me know 🙂

Do they not do those porcelain photo plaques anymore? It's quite beautiful, and while it seems to be a regional thing, I think it would be nice to still be able to get them.
You can still get them!!
Im so fascinated by these pictures -so original and unique ❤️ God bless them all 🙏
The porcelean pictures on the tombs.... have they always been there? Did they have the technology back in the 20's or 30's to print these or were these put there later on? I've never seen this. Beautiful.
Oh my go love that sculpture. Very heart touching.
Very good video, enjoyed greatly (from Australia)
10:24 Pretty girl, cute pageboy haircut. Very sad. Josepine Cisero, 7 yrs, 8 mo, scarlet fever. --Kitty
I have read that before the 1940's children often died before they were 5 years old. A lot of women who died young were those who died in childbirth. Sad times.
So what kill those before 5
So many young people. Many look like they are from the early movies, just like you said. It is just so sad that many died so young. What were their lives like? To bad the can not tell us but I am curious. Thank you for sharing!
Thankyou that was very interesting i realy liked seeing the pictures, for one doy we remember them.....take care....Mary...in Canada
Just beautiful pictures in this yard... thank you!
very interesting and fascination cemetery tour from across the Pond in UK
A lot of these most likely tuberculosis. 😢
I love your videos and graveyards very interesting and the history you tell as well thank you for sharing these all the way from Ireland 🇮🇪🍀
That one woman name is pronounced like con-che-tta. Very Italian name you don't hear it often. I love that name. :) I too have a fascination with cemeteries. I used to wonder around all the time and c take a look. So hard to resist. The curiosity gets me every time.
thank you, I'm so glad you liked the walk...it's not for everyone...great to know we have kindred sprits! 😊
11:00 see below for 12/25/24 edit. ANTONIA AND MARIA GIANCANA. Maria "Mary", 2nd wife, 41 yrs, 8 mo, auto accident 1926.
Looking thru the book online, but I can't find Antonia (Anna, 1886 to 1910, 1st wife, and mother to mobster Sam) in the Archdiocese book for Mount Carmel. I'll keep looking. If anyone knows anything please tell me. Thanks.
12/25/24. Merry Christmas. I found how Antonia died:
Septic endoneuritis is a rare condition where an infection causes inflammation of the endoneurium, the protective layer surrounding nerve fibers, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness. This can be caused by bacterial, viral, or fungal infections.
Are you going to do some more Mount Carmel Cemetery videos this year?
I have 3 more already done, they will be released next month or so...and yes, spring summer, will explore EVEN MORE there!
Long, cruel hours of work, bitter Chicago winters, poor starchy food, no food. Diabetes, squalor, tuberculosis, malnutition, ricketts. Bad water through lead pipes. Dyptheria. Polio. Measles, Scarlet fever. Mumps.Pneumonia. Violence, alcohol, poverty. What are their stories? So many.
They seemed to me to have a high mortality rate...Many are so young...
AS ALWAYS RON ANOTHER GREAT WALK THROUGH HISTORY AND TIME , LOL 😆😆😆 THAT MARY STATUE INSIDE THAT GLASS OF THE CRYPT DOOR 👻👻 GOOD THING YOU DIDN'T GO THROUGH AT NIGHT YOU'D NEED A CLEAN PAIR OF SHORTS LOL 😆😆😆 TAKE CARE FOLK👌👌
I just found and subscribed to your channel. Thank you for showing us the beautiful memorials of every day people and how they honored their loved ones in stone. You have inspired me to wander our cemeteries here in western New York. We have many beautiful ones in the Buffalo area. I have previously been to an refugee slave cemetery in Fort Erie Ontario and viewed the grave of a Titanic survivor in Stevensville Ontario. I now wish that I had taken photos as I will probably never return there.
Just finished going through upstate New York - and New York, ua-cam.com/play/PLB6vsr675JiH4UgcOn9jLDKq_UPRuUF6K.html
My great grandparents also have these photos on their tombstone, they lived and died in our state of Rhode Island not Illinois.
I like to see the lengths of their lives, and I imagine that a lot of the women who died so young did so from childbirth. And the depending on the place in history some of the young men died in war. So sad to see the babies, and what might they have died from: SIDS, plague....
Also in the earlier years of the 20th century cancer was a death sentence.
I just wanted to say rip to all of those laid to rest in each cemetery you visit.
That is the largest cemetery I’ve ever seen 🙏🏻
There's a saying for us local in Hillside. There are more dead people than living.
The Italian boys name "Michele" is Americanized as "Michael" but is pronounced "mee-KEL-leh"
I came back to watch this again for the second time. I saw a really huge gravestone at the Hollywood cemetery, can't remember the name of it. And I saw the big complex that was for the Swepps. What's the biggest actual gravestone you've come across and what is the biggest resting place complex you've ever seen? Did anyone ever build a full-size house on top of their grave?
There is a soul behind each one of the faces in your videos and I believe you (I also now that I watched the video) will see these faces again when it's time to pass over into the next chapter of existence.
I love looking at pictures on tombstones
❤️❤️💐💐✝️✝️
