#Story

ROY – On April 11, 2015 we lost our beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew and cousin to a tragic accident.

Chandler was born October 25, 1997 in Ogden, Utah to Muriel and Rick Atkin Jr. (divorced). A student at Roy High School and Two Rivers High School, Chandler was scheduled to graduate this year at the age of 17. He was residing in Roy, Utah with his mother Muriel and the love of her life, Chance Gresham, who took over the role of Father and Dad to Chandler when he was 4 years old. This union included Chasidie Atkin (Gresham), Sunni and Kacie Jo Gresham, best friends and sisters to Chandler.

Besides school, Chandler was also working two jobs and still made time to hang out with his many friends. With his big blue eyes, beautiful smile and a wonderful, witty and charming personality, he was loved by many. Many of us will remember special times with Chandler when camping, or family gatherings or just hanging out in the yard with family and friends. He always had a big hug for everyone when he arrived and before he left. His passing will leave bruised and broken hearts by all that knew him and all that loved him.

"Hey Boy! You only walked this life for a short time, but the footprints you left in my heart will lovingly last an eternity. Peace Out, Grandma (Nana).

On July 8th 1954, a premature baby was found on the front porch of a house at 828 North Elm Street in Henderson, Kentucky. She weighed two and a half pounds. The woman who lived at the address, Mary, took the infant in. The baby had been born prematurely, and the mother, who was believed to have been a young girl, presumably left her in a place she thought would be safe before leaving.

The baby survived only a week. She died on 16 July 1954 and was buried at Fernwood Cemetery in Henderson County, Kentucky. Her grave marker reads: "Unwanted Baby Girl X. Wt. 2½ lbs."

In the 1950s, girls who became pregnant outside of marriage were routinely sent away and their pregnancies kept secret.

Commentators who later learned of the case noted that the baby was never truly unwanted. The mother had carried her to term, wrapped her, and placed her on a porch rather than discarding her. That, many argued, spoke to the impossible decision she had been forced to make.

The mother was never publicly identified. The child's name was never recorded. Decades later, a TikToker named Katie came across the grave and launched a public campaign to identify the infant and replace the marker with a proper headstone bearing a real name.

She remains, in the official record, Unwanted Baby Girl X.

i found this on facebook and thought that this was interesting enough to post

In the post it says: I love reading tombstones and don't like many modern ones because they are so boring. And when I die, I know my husband wouldn't give me the tombstone I want. So I did my own in advance. Just need to fill in the date of death. When my aunt died and I went back to the cemetery, the office staff lined up to meet me saying how depressing their job was and when they wanted a good laugh they walked up to see my tombstone...

#Story

A women and 3 girls found in barrels. Three were identified in 2019, but the 3rd middle child, is the daughter of Terry Peder Rassmussen, and still unidentified.

The Bear Brook murders, also referred to as the Allenstown Four, consisted of four unidentified murder victims discovered in 1985 and 2000 at Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown, New Hampshire, United States. DNA testing indicated that the woman and at least two of the three children were related maternally. It was initially reported that they had died from trauma caused by a blunt instrument, although the cause of death for the girls found in 2000 has not been determined.

DNA evidence shows that she could have been the mother, aunt or an older sister to the youngest and oldest children. All of the victims were either partially or completely skeletonized when they were found and are believed to have died between 1977 and 1985. The girl that was found with the adult woman was between five and eleven years old, and the next two girls were between two and four and one and three, respectively.

Truly Emberlan Miser, 6 of Bluffton passed away on Wednesday, October 18, 2023, at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.

Truly was a special sweet and loving little princess! She loved dressing up in her princess clothes and dancing with her sisters, whom she loved very much, as well as drawing and coloring.

She enjoyed dancing, all things girly, dressing up, being with her sisters, and spending time with family. She would light up a room anytime she was around. Anyone who knew who her loved her.

Ladies first!

The tombstone basically shows a husband and his wife moving through the door right in to the afterlife.

If anyone knows his name let us know! Perhaps someday his grave can be repaired if his name is discovered!

Rest in peace, little guy. 🕊❤️

Grave: Gardens of Boca Raton Memorial Park Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Florida, USA

#Story

Rapper. He spent most of his childhood in Lauderhill, Florida. He began writing music after being released from a youth correction center, and eventually released his first song, entitled News/Flock, on the audio distribution platform SoundCloud in June 2013. He was a popular figure in SoundCloud rap, a trap scene that takes elements of lo-fi music and harsh 808s. He released his debut album, 17, in August 2017. His second album, ?, was released in March 2018. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, with its singles Sad! and Changes peaking at numbers 7 and 37 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. He was influenced by rappers and also artists in other genres besides rap, like Kurt Cobain, Tupac Shakur, Cage the Elephant, The Fray, Papa Roach, Three Days Grace, Gorillaz, and Coldplay. Much of his brief career was mired in controversy, but he quickly rose to become one of popular music's most controversial and, in some circles, reviled figures. He was shot and killed on June 18, 2018, while he was leaving a motorcycle dealership in Deerfield Beach, Florida.
