THIS EPISODE:

(1) Reinhardt H. Schwimmer, a former optician turned gambler and gang associate under Dean O'Banion (of Bugs Moran's "Northside Gang"), who was one of the victims of the Saint Valentine's massacre.
(2) It was 16 year old Lulu Fellows who is memorialized in the glass-encased case that houses the statue of this young girl who died of typhoid fever in 1883. Lulu was a rising elocutionist – a theatrical profession that doesn’t really exist anymore (public speaker trained in voice production, gesture and delivery).
(3) Ignaz Schwinn, the designer, founder, and the eventual sole owner of the Schwinn Bicycle Company.
(4) John Beasley "Jack" Brickhouse, an American sportscaster. Known primarily for his play-by-play coverage of Chicago Cubs games on WGN-TV from 1948 to 1981.
(5) William J. Bross, an American politician and publisher originally from the New Jersey–New York–Pennsylvania tri-state area. He was also elected as the 16th Lieutenant Governor of Illinois. He and his wife tragically lost seven of their eight children in youth and infancy years.
(6) Charles J. Hull, real estate developer, eventually becoming a well-known millionaire in Chicago. In his will, he left his estate and mansion to his cousin Helen Culver, who in turn gave the mansion to Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr, who opened it into the settlement Hull-House.
(7) Thomas Edwin Greenfield Ransom, a surveyor, civil engineer, real estate speculator, and a Brigadier General in the Union Army during the American Civil War who died valiantly after being involved in several key battles, the last being grievously wounded in the Battle of Shiloh.

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.
