I lost a son, stillborn, I was devastated, can't image losing 3 children in 3 days. And then to go on and lose another 3 later. But I do know about losing a family, everybody. I lost 2 sisters, dad and mom within 7 yrs. Never expected to be the only one left, especially since both sisters were younger than me. But mom and dad could have related to this. They lost 3 daughters out of 4, granted only my older sister was a child.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a plot where the grave markers are on an incline of concrete…. A tragic story for sure, and dying of a broken heart is very real. Both my mom and grandma passed away within weeks of each other, my grandpa was beside himself with grief. His health declined quickly and he passed not long after. I couldn’t imagine what this poor family went thru!

Such a sad story. I am very familiar with Globe. I have family who live there. My uncle lives one street over from High St. His home was one of the first homes built in Globe in the 1800's. It has very high ceilings and the kitchen cabinets are huge and hard to reach without a stool. The old Globe jail is supposed to be haunted too. Thank you for this story, Ron. RIP to those family members.

Yeah I covered the jail story there and that’s one of the grand finale’s for Halloween, stay tuned - Sunday night just before Halloween it will air.

A really long time ago when my youngest son was a baby, I took him to have his first set of vaccinations. Another new Mom was there with her little one, a girl, so she was much more delicate and felt things much more deeply that my macho newborn boy. An idiot, in other words. Anyways, the two babies received their shots, and both screamed equally loudly and indignantly, and Girlmama weepingly said to the nurse "How can you stand to inflict such pain on these tiny children?" The nurse, an older lady who had seen it all answered, " I've nursed babies who died from diptheria. I have no poroblem at all." The best answer I have ever heard in my life.

The mom was the one allowing her to inflict that pain. So she was one to talk. 😂

It wasn't completely unheard of for homes to be abandoned, burned or otherwise leveled because people believed the dwelling was cursed for assorted reasons. Was that a crow in the background as you were telling the story? That's crazy timing.

Thank ron for remembering the family!! My mom lost her brother when he was 2 years old to pneumonia in the 1930!!!!

Such a terrible tragedy, i cannot imagine my whole family dying within a week. One day I have family next day I'm alone in the world. To those who survived, you are stronger than most everyone I know including myself. This would have killed my soul. R. I. P. To the family

You would be amazed at what we can endure. I have had great loss. I’m still going on strong. The pain never goes away of the loss. You just get through it. Just think of what the pioneers endured coming across the prairie. They lost family in accidents and babies died during birth and sometimes the mother. And yes, a lot of the women went insane just due to loneliness. The next farm was a long way off to have another woman to talk with. Times were and still are hard. But it is so surprising what we can endure. Take care.

The cemetery’s down in the south west are dirt or sand. Up here in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and other states are grass. That would take some getting used to living down that way.

Hey Ron. My dad and his second family lived in Globe. Also my oldest brother. Some of my relatives are probably buried there. I was born in Miami AZ. Thank you for the video. I get to see that area. Sad story.😢

Infant methemoglobinemia is also called “blue baby syndrome.” It is a condition where a baby's skin turns blue. This happens when there is not enough oxygen in the blood. Rest in peace to them all.

There is another type of blue baby. My aunt had a blue baby in the 50s. His was due to a heart defect. He died at 9hrs old. Now they can fix that defect. A heart defect was most likely the cause of Blue Baby Heron.

This is quite different scenery - wise from what we're used to. The crunching sound under your feet is also new. One thing we continue to learn is that death, and the sadness it brings, is universal. Thank you for this reminder that loss is heartbreaking wherever it may be. Blessings from Michigan.

I feel that is true when it comes to broken hearts and long time spouses. My parents were married in 1973, and my dad passed on October 25th 2022 from Acute myeloid leukemia, 6 months later, on may 21st 2023, my mom passed from complications of bile duct and pancreas cancer. She immediately started throwing up after my dad died and after that she couldn't keep anything down and she didn't want to know what she had and would fight with the doctors about getting x-rays and cat scans, saying she didn't want to know. They even put on her file "failure to thrive", on her record at one point because they honestly couldn't figure it out without having those options to be able to see what was really going on. Finally, the last 2 months she was alive they figured it out by her allowing them to do a catscan and such. For a Lil pretext, my mom had a stroke in July of 2022, a few months prior from my dad passing and the doctors kept thinking it had something to do with that and her diabetes. My dad was 71 and my mom was 70.

My grandmother lost two siblings in three days from the 1918 flu. The family pretty much fell apart after that. Not all people can handle such loss.

Not only just the loss, but being at their bedside watching this terrible illness, the swollen and inflamed throat from diphtheria was horribly painful for the child and there was nothing for it such as aspirin or Tylenol. I don’t know if they used Morphine in that type of situation or not. Unimaginable 😢😢

It 100% speaks well of this community in Globe, AZ that the Herons stayed, worked hard to rebuild their lives and even held prominent positions there after such tragic loss. What a wonderful supportive community indeed!!

Hard to fathom how the parents dealt with one loss after another... Great episode Ron. Thank you...

Thanks Ron. I've been to Globe a couple of times--most recently, this past June when I was on a route I was taking on a road trip. When you showed us the spot where you think the Heron family's house likely stood, I thought of an experience I had not too many years ago when I was hoping to see a house my great grandparents had lived in. I was with a friend who had put the address into her GPS in her car. As we came closer to the address, the GPS announced that we had arrived at the address on the right. It turned out to be an empty lot next to an old abandoned factory building. I think that once a building has been somewhere in a city, the address remains on the books so to speak--even if the house is torn down. Anyway, I'm happy that you are now in Arizona, as I really love it there and I am going to enjoy your tours of cemeteries around the state. The old cemeteries in the west are very interesting!

Hello Ron I'm watching you from Tucson Arizona and I remember when I used to pass through globe and sometimes go into the rock shops. This is such a sad story about the families who lost so many children. May they all rest in peace. Thank you for sharing this story Ron

That's so tragic and heartbreaking. I couldn't imagine being in the parents shoes. RIP everyone

Hi Ron, Please come back east to the Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware area. I lived in Williamsburg, VA. near the colonial area for almost 20 years, The grave of Ms. Evelyn Byrd (young lady from the 18th century) at Westover Plantation on the James River along route 5 to Richmond is hauntingly interesting and keeps drawing me back to her grave site. Many other very early graves n the area and in Williamsburg.

Thank you so much Ron. Yes, this story is incredibly sad, but I'm so glad you did it. This family deserves to be remembered. Thank you to Deb as well ❤

So sad😢😢😢 you are right about the times back then. I have walked cemeteries here in Tennessee and Virginia where I'm from and 4 5 6 children gone....my mom got diphtheria when she was 4 and survived😊😊😊. Thank you God. Take care and be safe.

This is so sad. I can’t even imagine the heartbreak and heavy grief they felt as they lost their children within three days of one another. Then to lose others the following years. May they all Rest In Peace. 💔🙏🏻

Such a tragic story. It is always sad to go to old cemeteries and see half a dozen or more small graves next to two parents. "Bedfast" is an interesting word. As a writer, I'm always looking for new historically accurate vocabulary for my characters. Thank you for including that word in your video.

Imagine carrying each young child or infant 9 months and them loosing them so young or at birth. Definitely the mother had stamina but glad 3 children survived. RIP to all and yes, they are all united in heaven.

Such a tragic story. But you narrated it so tenderly and beautifully. Thanks, Ron. 🙏

That had to be the worst thing to happened to a family We are so lucky right now to have the knowledge that we do I feel for that family may they rest in peace🙏🙏🙏🙏

In the UK, we call it compulsary purchase order, the council can make you sell your property to them for redevelopment reasons etc.

I actually never seen a cemetery out west before , definitely different than the traditional ones in the Midwest .❤ Rip the Heron family , very sad . Thank you Ron for sharing this tragic story 😢i love listening to stories you tell an the forgotten that passed

Such a sad story. I can't imagine what those parents went through. Thank you, Ron, for honoring these poor souls. I hope they are all reunited now.

Thanks to all involved in bring this story to the foreground. A whole family gone. No one to remember ...how sad. If not for you they would be "Faces of the Forgotten ". God bless and be careful.

What heartache the parents must have felt. There is a small rural cemetery near my home in upstate NY where four siblings aged 9,11,13, and 15 are buried. They died within 10 days of each other in February 1863. I’ve always wondered if they suffered fatal injuries in a house fire -- more likely it was influenza or a childhood illness. Someday I hope to find out the story behind this family’s tragedy.

My great-great uncle and aunt lost all five of their children to tuberculosis, over a short period of time. The parents succumbed to the illness and had a double funeral. One child was left, but he died shortly after. They were of Swedish decent and settled in Kansas.

Such hard, tough times back then. People were made of sterner stuff, too. They just got on with it, while facing situations we can’t even begin to imagine. I hope the family is resting in peace. Thanks Ron x

Had to watch the replay, thanks Ron once again!

Well Ron this beloved family ❤️ all went to heaven together, just different times but now all reside together, isn't that comforting to know your whole family is together and no one left behind to endure the sadness on this Earth, god bless all of you, your on a much better place, amen and thank you Ron, I live 20 miles from Globe, near Superior Az

I remember some time ago visiting a grave in a cemetery in Beechworth, Victoria, Australia, in which has 9 children within the same grave. They all died within a short time of each other in the 1800's.

Thank you Ron and Deb for your research and story. So sad that families endured such hardship and loss of life to disease in early days And I also say, I just did a little research of my old hometown, and found so many houses, buildings, places I remember have been torn down to make way for parking lots and business buildings. I know progress happens, but it’s sad to see the places of memories gone for good. Good video Ron, thanks Doug 🙋‍♂️🐈🐈

My best friend was raised there. I'm sure she went to that high school in the 80s. I got to go visit her mom, dad, sister and sister's family there. It was fun even though we got into a bad accident shortly after our arrival! I miss my friend!! I need to give back there!

I can’t imagine the pain and heartbreak that this family endured. Loosing one family member is hard but the entire family is devastating. We are fortunate to have medical care and medicine that can help us survive illnesses that once would be fatal. May they all rest in peace and rest in peace together, 🌸🌸🌸

Rest forever in peace for this family, who endured much but pressed on. Their son Floyd lived a long life, 1897-1987. Before vaccines, insulin and penicillin, many succumbed to viruses and bacteria and disease early in life. We take so much for granted nowadays.

My baby sister died 19th Dec 1962 aged 6 months old, a week before Christmas, same date as Villie Melissa, so sad these little people died 3 days in a row and right before Christmas, how does anyone get through the loss of one little one let alone 3? So tragic, thank you Ron for reminding us how heartbreaking it was back then with Diphtheria, so much to be thankful for now although the old diseases seem to be threatening xx

So sad for this family. May they all RIP.

I grew up in Star Valley, AZ (Payson, AZ area), north of Globe. There's a lot of history (good and bad) in Gila County.

My grandmother's little brother died when only a toddler from some sort of affliction (croup or dysentery) back around the early 1920's. He is buried in an unmarked grave in a small cemetery in Strawn, Texas. It is weird to go there and know he is there, somewhere.

Heartbreaking. 3 days, 3 children gone.
