UPDATE - Several viewers had said that there was a flood and that’s why those stones are laid back there. But apparently not so. Our viewer named John, who lives a mile away for a long time said:
"This cemetery has unfortunately had issues for many, many years due to its age & location. It was later surrounded by an industrial park after the many nearby cemeteries and tuberculosis sanitarium was built across the street. I have owned & lived less than a mile east of it for 30 years and know it has been vandalized numerous times due to its nearly secluded location surrounded by the industrial park and no security or gates for many years until more recently. I believe the flooding mentioned by others was the Indiana Ridge Lawn Cemetery but it has also been a problem near here as well. The sad stacked markers are from a mobile crematorium which was going to be placed there in the early 1990s which was blocked after a large outcry from relatives of the deceased and neighbors who found out about the plans prior to its use. The property has been transferred a few times due to the age and original temples that formed it in the early 20th century long being dissolved after leaving the West side of Chicagos Lawndale neighborhood. The caretakers could not afford upkeep for many years to my knowledge the last I heard."

THIS STORY:
Lazarus Averbuch was a 19-year-old Russian-born Jewish immigrant to Chicago who was shot and killed by Chicago Chief of Police George M. Shippy on March 2, 1908.
The incident occurred during an era of public fear of foreign-born anarchists in the United States, following their involvement with the Haymarket affair in 1886.

This cemetery has unfortunately had issues for many, many years due to its age & location. It was later surrounded by an industrial park after the many nearby cemeteries and tuberculosis sanitarium was built across the street. I have owned & lived less than a mile east of it for 30 years and know it has been vandalized numerous times due to its nearly secluded location surrounded by the industrial park and no security or gates for many years until more recently. I believe the flooding mentioned by others was the Indiana Ridge Lawn Cemetery but it has also been a problem near here as well. The sad stacked markers are from a mobile crematorium which was going to be placed there in the early 1990s which was blocked after a large outcry from relatives of the deceased and neighbors who found out about the plans prior to its use.

Shocking. I believe you are probably correct in your assumption that Jerome was murdered and the authorities tried to cover it up. It saddens me to see graves treated with so much disrespect.

@LuvBorderCollies Год назад

The police chief and anarchist story is a strange one. The anarchist side is the most suspect, especially "testimony" by relatives or political associates. Their tales are interesting but they also are invested in covering up for their guy. First, who just walks into a police chief's house (or anyone's house) to find them to sign a paper?? I can't think of any culture where that is normal everyday behavior. Second, Chicago has been a rough, violent city since forever and its odd the chief didn't have his front door locked. High profile LEO's would be a target especially if they ticked off a lawless group like anarchists or the mafia. Carelessness? Could be. The meeting and fight in the hallway leaves out a lot of details. Appears the chief was unarmed initially so the grappling makes sense. Then the other LEO guy comes in and grapples with the anarchist. Before you know it both have guns and shooting the anarchist. There's a number of legit reasons that could explain the sequence of events. Either they're missing from the story OR there's missing with the storyteller. Don't take Face of Forgotten as the gospel truth. He's left important details out of stories before that would sway a listener to a false conclusion. The chief's mental state at the time is certainly questionable. But hey!!, this is Chicago which is infamous for corruption at all levels of government and citizens. A retired Chicago police sgt told me the people of Chicago want a corrupt government and that's exactly what they have. Personally I hate Chicago. I've been there 6 times but only for work reasons (police) and I'd never go there on my own time and dime.

@charlaville7658 2 года назад

The bacteria that causes Syphilis is Treponema pallidum - it also causes Neurosyphilis. Neurosyphilis (complete loss of mental faculties & disintegration into madness) usually occurs about 10 to 20 years after a person first contracts Syphilis. To understand the level of Syphilis caused madness Shippy was suffering at the time, one would have to know when he was infected. The official Doctor's diagnosis may come years later due to the fact the sufferer does not want to admit they have it & are losing their mental faculties...especially when they are in a high position such as 'Chief of Police'. He would've been stood down & lost just about everything. So it was in his best interests to keep up appearances for as long as possible. Would be interesting to see the records on him from the mental hospital. Given he died there of late stage Syphilis whilst at the mental facility, I'd say his mental faculties were well and truly about a quarter to half gone at the time of Lazarus' death/murder. I doubt Shippey ever sought a medical diagnosis but KNEW what he had. The official diagnosis would've come at the mental hospital. Everyone around him though would've known he was suffering from Neurosyphilis. He would've known too. Compound '606' treatments for this didn't come about until the 1910's - too late for Shipply's condition. Once the neurological damage was done, it was irreversible.

This is actually the norm still in this country. You have to pay for a term, and after that you risk the grave getting removed, so you have to pay another term to keep it. Initial term usually starts at 20 years. There are permanent ones, but it is not the norm here. Lack of space in a small country definitely has something to do with that (The Netherlands). I was VERY lucky to find my mom. My mom was buried in August 1995, and the only reason hers was not affected by the big clearance in that cemetery in 2015 was because when they worked on this massive operation her term still had a few months left on it, being valid till the end of that year. However.. discarding of the markers like that.. THAT is something I have never seen. No matter the cause.. that is terribly disrespectful!

@cheryld5052 2 года назад

I found an article from 2011 stating the cemetery was full of toppled headstones and badly neglected. I would guess this just to be neglect. If bodies were removed why not remove stones if you need the space to resell.

@oculusangelicus8978 2 года назад

If the Police Chief Shippy had syphilis, then it is likely he was involved with Prostitutes, as Police regularly are, but he must have taken this involvement into the bedroom, and Syphilis is a disease that will cause people to go mad, or insane because the bacteria that causes the disease works its way into the brain, So I think your conclusion is very likely correct, that Lazarus was indeed Murdered by an insane police chief, especially if they had to protect his own family from him! This is the problem with power without proper oversight, a police chief who may suddenly find himself being propositioned by prostitutes or even a Bawdy house owner tempting him with special treatment in order to be allowed to continue to operate, can often tempt a man beyond his ability to resist, and the next thing you know, he's going every Thursday night after his meeting with the Mayor, so that his wife doesn't suspect his trysts. I can see such things happening back in those days when men of power in such positions were never suspected of such weaknesses. And indeed it might even be a death sentence to voice such suspicions out loud because such men also guarded their reputations with deadly force and had the ability to make things look like what this story points out.

@jenniferholden9397 2 года назад

My grandparents and mother are all buried together and just after my mum joined her parents the city council wrote to me as I held the grave papers, they wanted to remove the curb stones that went around the grave. They did the same to a lot of graves. Within 6 months the headstones started to fall over, some of these had only in place for a year, others had been in place since WW1. It was the curb stones that were holding the headstones erect. The next thing is the council are leaving letters on the fallen headstones saying if you don’t fix it we will remove the headstones. SAY WHAT? You knocked them over mate, now you pick them up. I suggested to some that got these letters to get some big lads to lay the headstone down flat on top of the grave and cement it down, quite a few did this but the council weren’t happy. This was all so the grass could be cut quicker if there were no fenced in graves, they just wanted to be able to run the mower over the graves, to save money. There are quite a few people who fell in the wars buried their, no one has respect for anything but money, it’s the alter decision makers worship at. Grrrr.

There is a lot more to the Haymarket Riot. It was never proven who threw the bomb. Most of the police that were shot were hit by friendly fire. There isn’t an actuate count of the civilian injured or killed because people feared retaliation so did not report the injuries and deaths. The mayor was present and told the police chief to send the police home, but instead he took it upon himself to try and dispense the crowd.

@Kelly-tj8xv 2 года назад

I was in a large cemetery in London, England, and in one large section, there were signs posted that if you had a descendent in that section, to notify the cemetery, as the area was going to be cleared of bodies so that they can start burying again. Apparently the last body was buried in that section in the 1800's, so it was time to clear the area, and populate with new burials.

Thanks for telling us Lazarus' story, Ron. This was a very interesting case. If you're ever able to get over to England we've got some graves with fascinating stories too. One of the ones in the city I live in, Sheffield, is the grave and story of Samuel Holberry, the Chartist martyr. The last time I went to the cemetary his grave is at, the grave itself was inaccessible due to the subsidence of the ground making it unsafe, but Samuel's story is a fascinating and sad one. I'll not retell it here, but will leave it for yourself and other viewers to look it up if anyone wants to. I took a photo of his stome years ago and later made a watercolour painting of it that I still have somewhere.

In some cemeteries, those who are buried are only buried for so many years until they resell the plot. I bought 3 plots 10 years ago and the deed to my 3 plots stated it I would only own them for 99 years. They empty the old graves in many cemeteries and put the old one in a mass grave and re-sell the plots! That's why the head stones are moved to the side because they will probably recycle those too!

Based off my experience of working at a cemetery for a few years I learned perpetual care was a scam since perpetual means forever but in reality it only last as long as the cemetery's budget lasts and as long as there are laborer's or volunteers at the cemetery I worked at, the stones that have fallen were only lifted if they were small but the big ones like around 16:10 were only moved if they were paid to be moved by the family (if they were still around) or if the stone was in the way of the grounds keeping

Ron, Thank you for doing this story. It is truly tragic. Unfortunately, it is part of a larger tragic story about the struggle of workers to oppose the exploitation they experienced from their employers and the violence directed toward them often by the police who acted in the service of those employers. The Haymarket riot began as a peaceful protest for an eight-hour day. Historical research since the incident indicates that the bomb was thrown by an unknown person and the riot then ensued. In the aftermath, eight anarchists were arrested and subsequently convicted of being involved in the bombing. Again there is no clear evidence that any of the eight were responsible. Nonetheless, seven were sentenced to death and one to a term of 15 years in prison. Two of the convicted had their sentences changed to life imprisonment. One committed suicide rather than be hanged and four were hanged on November 11, 1887. Later in 1893 Governor John Peter Altgeld did a careful review of the court proceedings and convictions of these men, criticized the arrests and trials and found the convictions without merit. Even though it cost him dearly politically, Governor Altgeld pardoned the remaining defendants. Regrettably, the Haymarket affair is not the only instance in which individuals were wrongly convicted and punished in the many years of struggle by labor to achieve fairness and humane treatment by abusive employers. This was reflected in the tale of Lazarus Averbuch.

Not only do you tell the story of the person you are showing us but you also give us a brief history of the times they lived in. It’s very interesting and sad at the same time. Like you it sounds like Jerome was murdered. I guess it was just ok for someone to enter these peoples homes uninvited. I too have doubts he could have afforded a gun with the wages they were being paid. Those markers are terrible to be just laid on top of each other. It’s a shame that cemetery was not kept up and respect for those that lie there are not respected. There has to be a story about that but it may take going thru court papers and old newspapers.

Such a sad story. He was only 20 years old. So many crimes that were just swept under the rug, and no one held accountable or punished. From the information attained, it does seem that he was murdered. I just recently saw a 60 minutes segment on Emmit Till, a 14 year old boy Tortured and murdered down south in 1955. Another tragic story. It’s just so heart breaking. Thank you so much for sharing. Rest In Peace Lazarus.

Thank you Ron for another fascinating yet sad story. As others have stated you can see the vandalism right from the beginning of your entrance where it seems a person or persons took a hammer and cracked, smashed or dislodged many of the porcelain pictures throughout the cemetery. Its always been a great addition to your tours of the many cemeteries you visited having those porcelain pictures you've photographed bringing an occasional face to the "faces of the forgotten." I would imagine that there would be a large outcry of building a crematorium in a Jewish cemetery. I didn't believe the Jewish deceased would be cremated. That is a history story within itself, just a "follow-up" idea.

The pile of stones is so sad. The families cared enough to get them beautiful monuments and now they’re just piled up on the ground 💔

@brianking4874 2 года назад

Thanks you for this video as it is very interesting. A great history lesson for sure. If these stones were temporarily moved I hope the have recorded where they cam from so the can be put back in their rightful places. I also agree that Lazarus was most likely murdered. Although I am from Canada, I'm sure these types of events happened here as well. Very sad that people cannot let the departed rest in peace.

That's sad with those gravestone's someone's daughter son mother father that's desecration that's wrong is it just me them picture's on the gravestone's look like there's bullet mark's as for that lazareth seem's to me he got murdered bit creepy bout the brain though thank's for the stream ron interesting story..

@natalieb7303 2 года назад

Obviously Lazarus was a scapegoat....to help them (shippy etc) in their discrimination of workers, immigrants etc. The gravestone pile, I would say is from neighbouring land, which is now considered industrial etc...beyond the fence.🤨🥺😢 The cemetery was probably a lot bigger & the land was sold off, by the council.

@len4338 2 года назад

I have worked in this area for over 30 years and have been by and occasionally visited this cemetery over this span of time. I have also seen signs of stones that were obviously moved about and actually found a mound of dirt with headstones mixed in piled up in a heap. I was astounded by that and could not imagine why until I spotted a sign that stated something to the effect " If fees for maintenance was not submitted that headstones would be scraped away and removed ". I know this sounds incredulous but I assure you that is what I saw posted there on site. The sign may still be there if you look around, it was not in a location like at the entrance as one would expect a sign like that to be.

AMAZING HISTORY, IMPRESSIVE TOMBSTONES, GREAT OLD PICS NICELY DONE VID

@jansusanjennafletcher1712 2 года назад

As you started into the Jewish section of the cemetery- at first it looked well kept. But upon closer inspection- one can see a large variety of headstones collapsing into the ground which says that the burial plot was not properly supported. When you came to the back area- the disrespect is quite evident. Your stories and very eloquent description of what you are seeing are appreciated…and enjoyed even if the subject is rather grim.

@Willowq4 2 года назад

Good morning Ron. Listening to it it seems to me that he was murdered by the chief of police. It's so sad that all those gravestones are just lumped together. I think I've said that my where my great Nana's grave was,the whole area was flattened, gravestones were just put in piles,as the old cemetery where she was buried with my great grandfather,the city wanted the now very expensive land back. I see the footnote about flooding. Thankyou 💚

@mwj5368 2 года назад

Cemeteries have log books. I wonder if there is a log book somewhere. I tried to find my grandmother's grave and they have maps that show where everyone is buried. There must be relatives alive that could tell what used to be. This is to me a sizeable graveyard and stones that look recent enough. Is this in Chicago? Maybe the city historical society has records as to what happened with the graves. Very sad such carelessness. You are a good instructor and well presented a mysterious event around Lazarus's death.

@woodsman1382 2 года назад

I am totally amazed that the pictures are pristine in these head stones. I have baby pictures from the 1960's that have faded and a bit askew. These pictures have been in these headstones in the daylight and weather for close to a century and are just about new looking.
