THIS LOCATION'S STORY:
Sam Powell discovered the Black Rock ore vein in 1902 and the mine began operation in 1906. Operations continued until 1941 when the federal government shut down many mines due to the onset of World War II. During its thirty-five years of operation, the Black Rock Mine produced gold, silver and a lesser amount of copper ore. Gold values from the pay streak vein yielded more than $16,000 per ton based upon 2005 prices, so this would have been an exciting time for the mine operators.

_________________________________________________________
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.
