WHY DID THEY ENTOMB THIS MAN IN A MAUSOLEUM, COVER HIM IN CEMENT, NO CASKET, AND THROW AWAY THE KEY?

Article taken from Augusta, Georgia Parks and Recreation website:
Augusta had its gambling in the olden days as well as its superstitions, and the Savannah River still played its part in the history of the City, where in the murky depth lies the only key to a gambler’s grave in Magnolia Cemetery.
"You have taken everything I have. When you die, may you not have even a grave to shelter you!” Barron
This dying curse, pronounced by a losing gambler and suicide upon Augusta’s most picturesque figure of the post-war period, caused Wylly Barron to revise the rules of his gambling place, inspired him to numerous charities, and resulted in his construction in 1870, 24 years before his death, a granite mausoleum in Magnolia Cemetery. The gambler was so superstitious concerning the ups and downs of a Barron bettors fortune, he made a will directing that his body should be placed in the vault, the door sealed, and the key thrown into the Savannah River.
Barron's Rule
Wylly Barron made a rule, self-enforced, that no man could gamble in his place in the Atkinson Hotel on Ellis Street (Carmicheal’s Range), whose position in life caused him to handle money or whose salary was insufficient to permit gambling. Minors were also barred from playing. Barron would spot a new customer and engage him in conversation.
“What is your business, young man?”
“I am a cashier in the bank.”
“Then you cannot play here. If you win, you will be tempted to gamble again. If you lose, you may steal from the bank to replace it. You are welcome to all the entertainment in the house, but you cannot play.”
If the guest protested, he was ejected.
Six feet tall, slender and dark, Barron carried himself like a prince. His attire was fashionable and extreme, and the sparkling gems with which he bedecked himself made him a flashing figure at watering places and race courses throughout the South. Among the thousand virtues linked to one crime was an all-enforcing charity. No disabled comrade, no suffering widow appealed to the generous gambler in vain. His benefactions were secretly bestowed, even while his profession was blatantly displayed.
According to cemetery records, Barron died at the venerable age of 88 years. It is said that he had lost considerable property and that there was not enough money to buy the prescribed metal coffin. The remains were bricked over inside the vault, the keyhole sealed, the key thrown away, and today there is no known key to either fence or vault.
The epitaph reads: “Farewell vain work, I know enough of thee, And now am careless what thou sayest of me, Thy smiles I could not, nor thy frowns I fear, My cares are past, my head lies quiet here. What faults you knew of me, take care to shun, And look at home---, enough there’s to be done.” - Zábava
Every cemetery has at least one interesting story. Each one is so unique.
My family cemeteries are a history book! The craziest stories….
you know im glad my parents were buried in a respectful way. and i still miss them everyday. im living in there house right now, i feel all kinds of feelings but mostly i have sweet memories.💗💞Vickie
Same here, very emotional to live in my parents in the beginning, taken a while to live alongside memories
@@RachelMM250 Thank you🥰
Yes I live in my gramps house but have slowly made it my own but still a lot of great memories and I am glad he got to stay here until the end too❤
@@naomitims4521 very sweet💞
Kinda weird yes?
Your choice of happy, lilting music had me waiting for cartoons to start. 😂
Love your channels. 🥰
I liked that music, too. Be fun to have at my funeral! 😅😊
Hahahaha your reaction to the bag....I like visiting cemeteries too for the history and seeing and learning new things. When I'm alone, sudden noises or things spook me like this too.
How would I share about being a relative to F.S.K...Francis Scott Key..Grandmother buried in Druid Ridge Cemetery in Baltimore...Pikesville..maybe,,ok.
I used to live in Augusta and visited that cemetery often. He was born in Elbert County, GA, in north GA. I believe he once operated a tavern in Augusta. That is an interesting old cemetery. I have some relatives buried there. There are 35,000 graves in that cemetery. Thanks for the video. That is the oldest Crape Myrtle tree in the state, not the oldest tree.
"What the hell is that noise? Stop it." That was perfect you delivered that line exactly like Coco Peru
I love old things they were built real good Thanks Scott
People are just dying to get in that cemetery. Sorry, I could not resist. What a magnificent cemetery Magnolia Cemetery is. Thanks for sharing.
This is so interesting. Love these old stories. Thank you as always Scott!
It's a bag. Love this old cemetery are so full of history
Wha an old cemetery. Well he got his wish, nobody is disturbing him. RIP to all contained within.
Well finally somebody coming to film the cemetery I live right over the bridge in South Carolina and I have been a few times to the cemetery just walking around and looking at things so much history there's even a section with a prisoners of war were buried this is an awesome cemetery so much history.
Did anyone notice the bag stopped moving when he said "still"? Then it started moving again. Great job Scott!!

Good morning Scott it’s been a while. I enjoy your videos. Thank you.
I'd be tempted to try to get one of those snake cameras through a crack to investigate
I just love how respectful you are while visiting these places. They may be gone, May they rest in eternal peace.
Great video Scott! Love the content! Looking forward to your next video.

That fence surrounding Wiley’s tomb is a beautiful fence.
Hey Scott!!! Hello from Oahu, Hawaii ❤
I looked at Britain's tallest man. He came from Blackburn Lancashire. It's strange as I couldn't find him for a few weeks but all of a sudden it came up via CZcams only then did I realise that I've been past his last resting place. And wow when you look at photos of him outside Blackburn train station until you look at his grave he was a tall man. He's in the Guinness book of record's as well....
I do find all your post via CZcams very interesting and I look forward to you popping up with another interesting story so horrific and some like this one full of your country's history.
Right signing of from good old blighty England.
Keep up your cracking work Mr Scott on tape 😊😊😊
Such a fascinating story Scott once again you have bought us a awesome story ❤❤❤❤
Very Cool Cemetery!!🌞🌳👍😃 Thank you!!😎 Stay Safe!

What's up Scott! I am watching your video right now and I love your videos and channel. That was a weird looking tree at the beginning of the video. You're awesome and an amazing story teller.
Wow that’s definitely different
Great video Scott
Interesting little video. Great old cemetery, so much history. The music you put to this video is somehow very fitting and made me smile! Thanks again, Scott!
Don't want to break into that mausoleum ! 💀
This one’s gonna be good!
Hi Scott, I wouldn’t like to buried like that when I die, I want to have my ashes in the ground in a forest of trees. RIP Wiley 💐💐💐. He’s definitely safe in there. Sealed signed and delivered. Thank you Scott. 👍🤟🏼✌️⭐️⭐️🥰
GREAT SCOTT....PEACE OUT

Great video my friend!! So interesting!! Love you and your channel!! Thank you for telling us the story and taking us to where he’s buried!! God bless you and your family!! Much love my friend!! Peace!! 😇❤️❤️🙏🙏💙😊✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Thank you for visiting Magnolia Cemetery and posting this! I'm originally from Augusta and always loved driving and walking around this cemetery. That will be on my list of things to do again the next time I am there visiting family. I also enjoyed your choice of music! ❤
God Bless him ♥️
Scott, you mentioned the name "Myers".....I noticed as the camera panned right, there was a mausoleum....with the name "MYERS" on it.
Hello Scott! 9:50 Mr. Barron's mausoleum is sure cemented in time, isn't it? lol
11:50, you should have gone to see if there was a Michael. lol
You know Michael can never die 😆
Thanks Scott
Thanks for awesome video
Cool storyKind of reminded of Ebeneezer Scrooge being greedy then getting scared to death and having a change of heart. When is the Clinton SC video going to be up?
I’ll have to look in my files , I have so many videos I forgot what I filmed there! Lolol
cool walk around and story..👍
Love your choice of music at the start!
Scott, you always make me laugh, I Love your channels, watch out for those bags!
I love this one already,Scott scared of a bag and the music😂😂❤❤Hi from Maine
great video and very interesting story!
Fantastic video
Be safe Scott!!🎉
Very informative video. Tree is very cool.
😲😯oh wow!!!! that’s just crazy!!!!
hello scott. peace from oregon
Hello! I love Oregon!
In Georgia, we embrace our history. We don’t cut down very old trees or tear down old buildings. Most of those huge trees you see 100-200 years old. Bonaventure cemetery has lots of them and very old graves as you saw. As always another great video Scott. Be safe out there. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. 😊
I loved exploring Bonaventure cemetery. It's beautiful. Another extremely beautiful and otherworldly feeling cemetery in Georgia is Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon. Very fun to explore. It's like taking a step way back in time.
Anyone else notice that the barbwire fence (10:30) is set up to keep people in the cemetery not out?
Interesting story, Scott! Goodness that Crepe Myrtle looks like the tree tops are the roots! It certainly very old! I suppose that it could be the oldest Crepe Myrtle in Georgia! ❤
RIP: Wylie 🎉🎉🎉
I was stationed at Ft. Gordon in Augusta, Georgia back in 1999. Cool video
Hands on my hips! Sigh…. Just another great video from Scott. Just to good. ♥️
That tree was really creeping Scott. That bag scared me to lol ✌️
Cool and interesting story. RIP Wylly.
i like the song life is highway.🙂
Awesome video!
Scott, you amaze me at the stories you can find to tell us. This man was definitely in fear over this curse put on him. I wonder if being buried in concrete like that preserved his body. For some reason, I feel like it would. No air or bugs could get in to bring on decomposition or further it. Anyway, curses ... I know of someone very close to me who did that to people who annoyed him, and those curses worked. I thought it was horrible what he did to people, but I didn't know him at the time he was doing this. I only know the stories he told me, and they were bad about what happened to the cursed people. I'm glad I am not around this person anymore. I think he was possessed. RIP Wiley ❤ 💐
I would imagine hes pretty well preserved. There are stories of bridge builders and highway workers falling into wet concrete and theres nothing they can do to get them out. They are apart of the bridge forever
@@vicvega3614 Wow, that's crazy!
I watched a vid last week by Perry Stone involving JFK and the leader of Haiti who was very involved in vodoo. It's worth watching if you are interested in curses.
Great video
Cemeteries are usually very quiet and each one has a story. Each one has a story. Though, I cant help but feel sad whenever I remember the grave of a young girl who died. She was just a kid and while I never knew her, its still sad to see the graves of children.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity Angie !!❤️
Love your videos!! Have u been to Showmans Rest in Hugo, OK? Lane Frost, who was played by Luke Perry in the movie 8 Seconds, is buried there. There is a large section of circus performers buried there when circuses summered there. It would be great!
You would be so much fun to go along with in these graveyards I think it would be such a blast you're just all around fun I think. Miss cameo swansonn 🐝🐝🐝
