Stephen Miles was a rich landowner in Monroe County in the 1800’s and chose Eagle Cliff in Waterloo to build a mausoleum for his family. The cliff overlooks a beautiful part of the Mississippi River bottom that was largely owned by Miles at the time. But in the 1900’s, long after his death, his plans for his family’s final resting place were derailed. ABOUT THE HISTORY: https://www.mckendree.edu/academics/s...

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. #Graves #Cemeteries #Death
