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.

“In death… all humans mingle together in one common dust.”
Deep.
Powerful truth!!
My father died 20 years ago at 48. My mother and him had been together 30 year's then. He wanted to be cremated and buried with Mom instead of being buried and us moving on in life and not being with her wherever life took us. Mother is now 67 and when it's time to bury her my daddy will be buried with her and his headstone will be with her's. ❤
That's sweet
As it she should be, wish people remembered how to love like that in this day but u dont hear to many love stories anymore
Beautiful
That is how we buried my mom and dad. Dad went first. Mom about 20 years later. All children and grandchildren sat under the trees, near my daddy's grave, waiting while they removed the grave slab. There was a space left on the grave stone, for mommy's name. Everything was so peaceful....then we buried mom's ashes with dad, held hands in a circle around the grave and said a prayer, thanking God for our parent's love. It was so special😢
❤
She must have been a remarkable woman. True love at its finest.
The mayor was clever and brave. May God bless him for honoring his friend’s wish.
Such a beautiful and heartbreaking story. Heartbreaking because even in death there was prejudice. I'm glad his friend wasn't and made his final wish happen.
Wow! She was not free alive and He wanted, her in bondage dead also. The backward minds of this broadcast. Nothing has changed,
Would love to have a Black woman, in your grave today! Possessive, It must had been, hell for her on earth. Someone possessing her, like that. She could not even fall in love, with, who she loved, after he died., Wow! That is what, you call ilove! Get a life!🛑
what a heathen act. There was no such thing, as Common Law, back then.
Yes his friend got his blessings too thave them both together he also was a good person ❤ Thankyou
My wife passed away a 18 months ago. Before she did we talked about me being add to her casket. Talked to the undertaker about doing this. It would take about 6 months to do but only if a judge would go along. We will be side by side.
Aww 🥺 how are you doing now?
How are you ?
Steve please tell us you are OK?😢
How are you now ? I hope you’re fine 🙏🏻
"One common dust"...so beautiful, simple, and poetic.
I can appreciate the respect that John Jackson gave them especially during the days of extreme racism. Their love was honored after their death which is beautiful
This was a beautiful story about two people who loved each other. Hats off to John Jackson for his braveness to bury Nancy with the man she loved. They must have faced so much hate and discrimination back in those days. Love is stronger than hate. Lived the writing on their tombstone. Good story Ron. Quite romantic.👍👍❤❤☺
thanks Linda!
I just wish the stone would’ve said husband and wife instead of what it does say. They didn’t consider the color of their skin when they looked into each other’s eyes and hearts.
I disagree. She was still his SLAVE! Why didn't he free Nancy before he died? There is nothing beautiful or romantic about slavery!!
@@truth4you349 Maybe he didnt set her free but he surely provided for her care and a home. I thought he left everything he owned to her because he loved her.
@@lindaschaldach1783 The fact remains that she was his SLAVE. She had no choice in this.
What a beautiful love story between two people… May William and Nancy Rest In Peace ✝️
I lived in Tampa 22 years and never heard about this. Beautiful story. Thank you.
Thanks Ron, I'm glad that they were able to be together, it was the right thing to do. The mayor was a good guy to see that they got their wishes fulfilled.
Beautiful love story. A man who saw a woman devoid of color. He saw her kindness and loyalty. Love conquered all barriers. The Mayor is a great man who understood the love shared by a man and a woman. He too didn’t see color. Just love . You tell the stories of these persons with compassion and respect. Thank you.
He didn't see her "devoid of color" he wasn't rascist when it came to here.
@@michellekirkendall818 Maybe bc us whites get sunburn when we go out on the beach, so like I’ve done before, I would gradually tan so that I wouldn’t burn at the beach. Also, why do you blacks always complain about us whites using tanning salons when we do NOT go and get burnt and turn black. We go and get a light bronze color on our skin, which is definitely not what you blacks look like bc y’all are actually black like we can’t see y’all in the dark if you don’t wear bright colors. Plus while y’all are crying about us whites getting a tan in which we’ve always had tans from the beginning of time by going outside, ALL of you blacks women are wearing wigs that resemble European hair. Why do you blacks wear fake hair made to look like us whites hair? Y’all aren’t allowed to do that bc that’s “cultural appropriation”! Lmao! How dumb!
Now that's a true friend honoring their wishes no matter what. Such a romantic story of two people loving one another so much. 💕Thank you for sharing another good one Ron! You're the best. 😉
@@lw2823 Yes, I do hope she was happy with the arrangement considering there wasn’t a whole lot she could say. 🥴
I think it so romantic - - I know that a famous Finnish-American female accordionist who died in 1958 had her ashes kept by her musician husband for the next 35 years [I know - he showed her ashes to me back in 1983.]. At his death in 1993, he was buried in a coffin holding/cradling in his arms - her urn. Together - forever. I hope to be able to do this with my female life partner.
This is beautiful uncle josh .. May true love find all of us who are searching for it❤
What a heartbreakingly beautiful story. Thank you for sharing it with us 💙
He raped a 12yr old and u people call it romantic?!
It's wonderful to know that what could have went so wrong actually went right back in that day and time. We are to love one another as God intended. Judge not others, lest ye be judged.
This happened to my cousin and his wife and they were in their 30’s he passed and she followed a yr to the day! I think she git everything str8 for the kids before leaving this earth🫶🏽🫶🏽
This story is too good to be in Hollywood
RIP Mr. William and Ms Nancy. It is true that people do pass away of broken hearts. It happened to my Grandfather and Grandmother (father's parents) they both passed away within 8 mounths of each other. You did a beautiful tribute to them Ron . Also right off the bat I did get your presidential trivia question right. I love it when you put those kind of questions or teasers in your stories.
I believe so. I believe my father would die of a broken heart if my mom passes away before him. He loves her so much. He would be lost without her.
Ive heard. After slavery. There were lots if these types of couples
I don't know if you recall Uvalde shooting where the husband of the deceased teacher had a heart attach days after the event a believe. Now, that really is dying of a broken heart. High school sweethearts. SOme may argue that a health issue was already present, but I think that really did it.
@@veggieeater
I heard about the husband of one of the teachers who have died in Uvalde. I believe he died of a broken heart 😓.
Yes, a broken heart death happened to my daddy when my mother died 7 mos. before. 🥀🥀😢
As A biracial person, this is a beautiful ending story! The love they had for each other should teach people, love have no color! God bless them both! May their love to each other, rest in peace.
(RACIST NEEDS TO STOP!) We are all God children, we all bleed the same color blood! If one is A Christian of God, there should not be RACIST...If one is not, then they need God in their life! If one is a Christian and RACIST, remember this..... Jesus was not white! Have a bless day Ron and thank you for sharing 🙏
Right on Patricia.
True. I am also biracial.
So true. My family includes many nationalities and my first cousins, great nieces are biracial. I learned at an early age that love has no boundaries or limits.
I have respect colour should never matter we are Al equal IAM glad they are together Nancy and William people should never judge because colour
I absolutely love the epithet on the gravestone! May we all remember that our Lord created ONE FLESH, from which ALL of humanity descends! When we die we return to the dust from which we were created, and the dust sees not and heeds not skin color or “race”. The dust neither differentiates nor discriminates but embraces all who are reunited with it. While we still live we should strive to do as the dust does, never forgetting that our Creator loves and cherishes us equally.
It's very beautiful ❤️
Love it ❤
Only together if you're in one spirit in Christ..
This was a good friend to carry out last wishes for Nancy and William 😭these eternal love stories touch my heart with tears ! I hope they are happy eternal 🙏🌹✨when love is pure it knows nothing else but love This is why I think that a blind person finds love more easily They see with their ♥️ and feel with their soul💧
I'm literally in tears but of joy.. I'm glad they got to be together for all eternity.. love knows no color, only love ascends above .. Rest in Paradise Mr. William and Miss Nancy
with all what was going on at that time they fell in love now there together....
Resting In Eternity Forever.....
Great Story Ron Thanks....
Whoever made that happen is a true friend, thanks for sharing this
I love the way the burial was resolved. What God has joined together, no one can put it asunder.
A beautiful story, and a beautiful message on that tombstone for those who objected to her burial there.
This cemetery is beautiful with the big trees and hanging moss.
I’m from Florida and my sister still lives in Tampa. I’m going to look up this cemetery when I visit her in a few weeks!
What a beautiful love story! Wow. She was a stunning beauty!
Even though the surrounding sounds of the city are evident, the cemetery still emits its own peace.
May the two souls forever Rest In Peace and be together in love for all eternity! ❤️❤️❤️
"She was a stunning beauty!" Patronizing?
Update?
🙏🏽🥲❤️What an amazing story and thank you so much for sharing. Sort of reminds how my father’s family got their land. A slave owner that fell in love w/ his half black/Indian slave. He never married because he couldn’t marry her. He had two sisters that hated blacks. When died they thought they would inherit everything but they didn’t. Not only did he leave my great, great, great, great grandmother a substantial piece of property and money, he also freed her and their children. RIP Mama and Papa Meyers🙏🏽❤️🕊️
I will never understand why the racists take it personally when other Whites, who are not racist, choose to embark on a relationship with a Black?
What a beautiful love story. So glad that William and Nancy are together. RIP to both of them. Great story Ron.
I loved it its beautiful
I LOVE THIS! What a great friend they had in Mayor Jackson. How wonderful that people exist that see beyond the skin color. What a sweet love story! ❤
If not for the media always trying to keep the people divided by any means possible, with race being one of their number one tools of the trade, I think more of us than not do see beyond skin color. Of course, back in 1873, I'm sure there were quite a few racists running around, but even then the good Mayor is a glowing example that that was not the case for everyone.
And lovely story too 😊
Rip William and Nancy, what a beautiful story. Together for all eternity ❤️❤️
Here's to Nancy and William..Rest easy. Love ❤ conquers All.
Amen!
Cheers!!!
Please!
Such a touching and beautiful story! Be now at peace William and Nancy. True love lives on.
Aww..😔 Love knows no color. What a beautiful story. So glad her wishes were carried out. Amazing Mayor. ♥️
Love sees all of who you are ❤
What a wonderful love story.....Soul Mates! I loved this story and so proud of the Mayor's courage to follow through caring for Nancy in her last months and after her death. That head stone and verse is wonderful.
I am from Mississippi, there are many stories like this that will never be told. regardless, of the outcome, a lot of people crossed racial lines to love each other, since the beginning of Ms history
No it’s not regular of the out come
Yes! My mother's side of the family originally came from historic Woodville Mississippi. Both sides of her family had mixed relationships. On her father's side were Jewish men falling in love with black women and having children. On her mom's side were Irish American men falling in love with black women. 😊
My heart is warm knowing they are together for all eternity, may they both rest in peace in each others arms, and thank you to their friend for being such a strong no nonsense person and respecting their wishes.
This is a touching story and thanks for bringing it to us. The Mayor was a good friend indeed and brave also, things could have gone badly for him as a result of his actions. I love the tombstone and the wise reflections left upon it....timeless and true over the years.
Yes, the reflections on the tombstone where so wise and might have raised a problem considering the era.

Even today, most cemeteries are still segregated in small towns.
What a good friend they had in that Mayor. And what a solid he did for them. They must have truly been Inspirational together for John to have gone to such lengths for his friends.
Blessings for all three's memories.
I'm glad they were interred together as they wished. Way to go John Jackson for doing what was asked and right!
This brought tears to my eyes....because it's the most romantic story I've ever heard. 🧡
He did whatever he could do for her. I hope they found each other in heaven and they can rest in peace🙏😘😘
*Nothing* should stand in the way of real love.
Truly a history-changing story. the barriers that they broke to make way for change
Kudos to mayor Jackson for making that happen not to many years ago it was considered taboo let alone then but love is truly blind even to a society that wasn't may they rest in peace together
Yes this has to be a novel and or a Lifetime movie. This is an amazing story.
Fantastic suggestion! I really hope it happens. Their beautiful love story should be shared with many more people.
What was the movie
Yes
It should be in HISTORY books. I never even heard of this. I am so glad this came up in my feed today. I am a history buff
A beautiful story…God bless John Jackson for standing up for love and friendship…Together forever💜💜
I really enjoyed this story Ron. I’m glad you shared this story with us. It’s nice that Nancy got to be buried with William, the love of her life. It’s good that William’s friend carried out William’s wishes after his death. It’s sad that Nancy died of heartbreak though. I think that happened a lot back in those days, and it still happens today in our time. When you truly love someone and find your soulmate, the color of their skin should not come in the way of that. Love is love, regardless of race. It’s nice to know that William and Nancy didn’t let others come between their love for each other. A true romantic story of the 1800’s…💗
Stay safe out there Ron.🙂💟
thanks for the wonderful comment Alicia
Beautiful story Ron. Sadly there is no pictures of them. He loved her unconditionally. I have no problem with this. Just imagine the ones we don't know and probally will never know. Today couples are more free to express thier love. Not just blacks and white but other races too. I don't judge anyone. It has happened in my own family. They was accepted and loved as such. It's sad how much hatred. Prejudice and racism there is. No racism and prejudice is not the same. Some hate thier own color and that's not racist. No mix marriage is not always accepted, still frowned upon. But back then when slavery was legal. There was no way would they have been allowed to marry. It was hidden. She could be his lover his servant, his slave, but not his wife. Many would of thought nothing of that because it was ok to bare the masters children. The slaves had no say. Frankly I don't think prejudice and racism is going to go away. Not in my lifetime. This man did not hide his love for this woman. Brave man. Braver still was the man who made sure they was buried together.👍👏👏👏another great vlog and story Ron. You keep surprising us.🙂.I look forward to your next video. You are indeed a Brave Soul Ron.We love that about you. Never disappointed. 🙂 Love,respect and positivity always. ✌🖖🌻🙂👋.neita.j
We are still trying to find the pictures with the historical society. Apparently there were pictures but they are lost. Hopefully not lost permanently
There was a picture of them at the beginning of the story! She was beautiful.
@@FacesoftheForgotten that would be nice. To put a face, or show them together. Thanks Ron. 👍 nj.
@@patriciahall3111 that was a picture of Thomas Jefferson and Sally i think was her name. It was at 5:40 to 6:02. Yes it would be great to have pictures of them. There is a picture later in the video of the mayor who carried out their wishes. Are you talking about the thumb nail pictures? I missed that. Sorry!
Unconditionally!!! She was a human being you know.....Unconditionally!!! Interesting phase....
Beautiful ending to the story, and how gracious of that gentleman to buried both of lovers together even going against people's ridiculous believes!
This video is one in a million. You're a great story telling and your story is touching and a fact humans needed to know. ❤
What A Story ❤ John Jackson Is A True Friend For Life 🎉
I love the headstone as it speaks volumes!!!
Oh my gosh Ron, this really touched my heart. As Kimberly said, love ❤️ has no color, it also has no religion ✝️ It’s just pure love. This love story brought tears😢 to my eyes, through you their love is expressed to many. May William and Nancy rest in peace for all eternity. Thank you for posting this Ron.
Such a beautiful story. Thanks for posting.
I’m really sad it’s actually kind of cool that they’ve kept the cemetery and talked in the middle of a city and the hub of progress it’s an honor to those who died and are buried there… Human decency is still out there you don’t build on burial grounds
Someone should have told Walmart that 😂
@@arielview1358 what do you mean it’s still a cemetery in the middle of the city
Walmart didn’t build on top of it
@@tajmulhall do some research on the Walmart company. A few years ago they were under scrutiny for building over grave sites. The one that gained attention the most was because they were building on a civil war area. But it's not uncommon for companies to build over graves. Most of America is built on my ancestors graves. Just research you'll find it. 😁🦋
@@arielview1358 someone should Have told a lot of places that . Imagine the historic markings that would be needed for places that housed the remains of ancestors and are now piggly wigglys and schools
@@ryanamari2233 selah🦋🌷🧿
That's beautiful! I have never understood hatred of someone because of race.
What a beautiful story of love and devotion. I’m so glad John saw that, knew of their love and made sure they remained together in their passing. I’m sure they are dancing in heaven now! Thank you for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
Such a heartwarming story Ron .RIP William and Nancy .Thanks for sharing stay safe on your travels 🙏
What a beautiful story ❤️ Thank you, Ron ❤️ Have an amazing blessed weekend 👍❤️
What a wonderful story they won't be forgotten. Thank you for sharing
what a wonderful story about two people who will love each other through eternity ❤️ its not that often we hear a feel good story about two people of different race's that had there final wishes carried out in that time in history. It's a story of love that couldn't be separated in life or death Thank you Ron for a beautiful story
Love comes in many colors. Interracial love is full of color. More color is more life and love.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful love story. May they rest in eternal peace.
This is a beautiful story mixed with some sadness. Thank you for telling this story and remembering them!!
My father is buried at Anaconda, Montana, my mother in Lander Wyoming. but we know they are together in the spirit world
So very true!
I donated my beloved husband, John’s , body to science when he died in June , 2018. His cremated remains were put into the Gulf of Mexico when Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, were finished with his body. The same will happen to my body when I die. From my Christian upbringing, I have peace of mind knowing that my spirit will be with John in the hereafter. I am Pamela Indo, close to 73, John’s widow.
An eternal love story. So beautiful. Rest in Peace William and Nancy. 🙏❤✝️
Heart warming story from bygone times. Interesting to know that a downtown Tampa street was named after this gentleman and that was an honour because they were usually named after important people like Mayors. Ashley was a Clerk.
The story you told was absolutely beautiful, and you presented it so eloquently. Thank you Ron, for presenting this story in the way that you did...with dignity, and grace! RIP to both William and Nancy
Love this story, went straight to my heart. R.i.P together forever
THis is absolutely beautiful. What they both wanted but most importantly, what their friend did after they both passed. That was quite the thing for those times.
May the both rest peacefully together 🙏🏼 The color of skin should never stop us from loving one another. Thank you for sharing this video!
They could have claimed master/servant because it was the only ‘acceptable’ solution if she was aware he was a man of some status. This would have meant that neither would be accosted or harassed. It was common in the upper south
That’s a very good point!!
@@FacesoftheForgotten thank you. I look forward to more stories.

What a sweet beautiful love story and glad they were buried together...Rip William and Nancy 🙏😇... thanks for sharing this story Ron.....safe travels 💕🥾🥾🚗.....very beautiful cemetery 🪦....
Beautiful tribute to this couple, what an honorable friend
Enjoyed listening to this love story. In the grave all human distinction of race or caste mingle together in one common dust. So happy that his friend was able to honor his wish despite the opposition from the town people.
They really loved each other! So glad they could be together, their wish. RIP.
Would be interesting to know how this affected his career as Mayor. Did he run for reelection, did he win? UPDATE PLEASE.
Also, did they have any children together?
Wonderful story Ron . I’m glad his final wish was carried out so they can Rest In Peace together for eternity. It’s a shame that life was like that back then I’m glad it’s history. Kudos to his friend for carrying out his wish.
Thank u that was beautiful
@@EgunBiyi.OrisaYege i think they meant that being able to love despite color ...
Still like that now in some parts.... but good for them

Very interesting. I was not looking for this kind of video, but when it came up I watched it neither the less.

A lovely story. I'm so glad his friend honored William's wish.
This was a beautiful love story. It is unfortunate that race was an issue for them. Sadly, there still are segregated cemeteries. Plant City, FL (just outside of Tampa) still has segregated cemeteries.
We are all God's children. God sees no color just love for us all. Love is love.
Love the comments on the stone. No truer statement has ever been made. He surely was a true friend, knowing all the harassment he could and probably did get. Love knows no bounds. I was glad to see he used the word servant rather than slave.
Even at that he could of just said, he lies two people who loved each other. But anyway it is beautiful, and a beautiful story.
Thanks Ron. Safe travels.
His friend did such a beautiful thing for them carrying out there wishes together forever. Love does not see colour it's pure. May they both R.I.P 🙏🙏
A loyal and trusting friend comes few and far between. You can't buy those kind.
My son is pale skin 200 plus pound. Had the same live in girl wife friend for 3 years. Shes a dark as the moonless night. 115 lbs. Theres is a love made in heaven and of the heart. Perfect for each other. Their only social challenge is from those who think theyre better than everyone else. Not these youngsters just simpler and loving to all especially to each other
So beautiful and touching. In God's eyes we are all the same🙏 So glad his wish was fulfilled.
A beautiful couple and a heartfelt story, their together, dancing in the moonlight. Thanks Ron for sharing their story. Tampa is a nice city, the ocean is beautiful too. 😊🌹🌻

This an amazing story of love. What an amazing benefactor to make sure their wishes were taken care of! Well done Ron.
Best one you have ever done. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story
Wow 😯. This story should be made into a movie.
Thank you, Ron for a very beautiful and sensitive telling of a mortal love that transcended the limitations of the times it was for them in life. Wish all humanity could see the voluptuous golden light of love in and out of relationships. Blessings
It never ceases to amaze me how brother/neighbour/friend was pit against each other but the people they were fighting over were still never really free. What a lovely story of true love
