THIS STORY:

Carlotta J. Thompkins, a.k.a Lottie Deno, was a famous gambler in Texas and New Mexico during the 1800's. She was renown for legendary poker skills as well as her courage. She was protected by her intimidating 7 foot tall slave woman Mary Poindexter.

She was born in Kentucky and traveled a great deal among the saloons and casinos, before coming to Texas. In the late 1800s, she was Texas' most famous poker player. Her escapades during this period became part of the folklore of the American Wild West.

_________________________________________________________
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 upsidedown, 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.
