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.

Movie critics are complainign that Kevin Costner's Horizon shows the American Indians attacking the settlers and the violence involved. They should watch your video to see just how violent and brutal it really was.

My 2x great grandmother, along with several other children was captured by Indians and held for several months. She was the only one who made it back alive. Being a pioneer family was no joke.
-
They would laugh themselves to tears if told that one day there would be such a thing as a "micro-aggression".
-
My great great grandfather ( Wilhelm Grobe) was killed by Indians on April 4th 1862 in Albert, Texas. When his 2 sons found him he had 11 arrows in him. That left his wife 2 sons and 3 daughters alone. The raiding party killed a 16 year old girl the same day in another part of the county. There’s more to this story but not enough space.

The commanches did attrocities against other tribes
-
Such a horrible death, poor woman. Her grave looks so lonely.
-
Thank you for telling Martha and her baby's story. So sad what they endured. Her children and husband and family and friends went through a lot of grief.
-
Thank you Ron for remembering her and bringing her horrible experience to light. I can’t imagine the pain she went through and the grief of her family. 💐💐🙏🙏✝️✝️

My husband always defended the Native Americans without question but recently he turned and asked me, 'did you know that sometimes when the Indian men captured a white woman and brought her home, the Indian women would maybe burn her nose off so the men wouldn't like her?' He was shocked.

RIP Martha Sherman 😢, Thank you Ron for sharing her story ...
-
What a horrible way to die! I'm so thankful I was not around during those times. My great grandmother and her family traveled across the country in covered wagons and she lived long enough to fly across the country in an airplane. History is fascinating.
-
It was such a horrible death for Martha. While my great -grandfather was in OK hunting buffalo, my great-grandmother saw an Indian peeking in their window. She offered a hog and other livestock. They had a number of children also at home. She was always upset that great-granfather left her alone to hunt. This was in Kansas.

The name Sherman grabbed my attention as I am working on my extended family tree, she is my 10th cousin on my father's side. There is a newspaper article at the time of her death telling of the Indian attacks in The Texas Republican (Newspaper) Marshall, Texas • Sat, Dec 22, 1860 Page 2 I found in the clipping of the newspaper archives. The people knew she was pregnant from what was in the article. So very very sad, Thank you for telling her story!
-
If I had been born in those days stories like this would have stopped me from moving to any frontier. I would have been willing to work hard but wouldn't want to risk the lives of my family.
-
the comanche were brutal, theres a reason why the apache sided with the spanish against them
-
Again, I admire your care in presenting history as two-sided. What a harrowing story. Thank you.
-
My great-great grand mother and spouse emegrated to the USA in 1846 with 6 sons. They were giving 600 acres for each son, this eas in Texas. Aetter I have dated ,1847 asks for corn seed and money. They were hungry and they lived in a Soddy( house made from blocks of sod.) It states if hunger doesn't kill you the I ndians will. They both lived into their 80's and are buried in Waco Texas.
-
I always said I was born in the wrong era, that I should of been a pioneer woman crossing the great prairie. I don't know though if I could of withstand all the tragedies these poor pioneers endured... Thank you for telling Martha's story, it's a sad one indeed, but I do believe pioneer's back then knew what they were facing when it came to unknown territory. Thank you again for sharing Martha's story, may she never be forgotten... As always be safe wherever your travels may lead you - Trish 💛🙂
