🟡 It is said the Allman brothers would come here to Rosehill Cemetery to compose music. You saw during this episode the white marble statue of Martha Ellis. It is commonly believed that she was namesake of the song "Little Martha", the twelve-year-old girl whose grave the Allman Brothers Band most likely came across during their frequent trips to Rose Hill Cemetery in their homebase here in Macon, Georgia. "Little Martha" was the only Allman Brothers Band track written solely by group leader and partial namesake Duane Allman.

THIS STORY:
Five years before Lizzie Borden and her axe became famous, nine members of the Woolfolk family were killed with an axe at their home near Macon in Georgia’s first mass murder.
Richard Woolfolk, his wife Mattie, their six children, and a visiting relative, were all slaughtered as they slept. Suspicion immediately fell on Tom Woolfolk, Richard’s 27-year-old son from a previous marriage. Tom was the only family member not killed.
MUSIC:
I chose to include the Allman Brothers' song "Little Martha" in this episode. Since we were unable to obtain copyright permission to use, we had turned off our monetization option (money) and all proceeds from this episode will go directly from CZcams to the song's copyright holder.
That's just OK. It's all worth it - for our viewers.
Enjoy.

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.

As if, the Civil War wasn’t horrific enough along comes good ole Tom with a bad attitude! I’ve never heard of this awful story. So, seeing “Little Martha” and the Red Fox almost made it bearable. Really interesting story, sad but interesting. Thank you Ron! May all these beautiful souls RIP for eternity.
That poor family, little children dying so unnecessary. A lady who lived 84 years and dies so tragically.
I agree the murders are really sad, but ar those times most kids would die in childhood nonetheless
R. I.P. Woolfolk family. How can anyone do such a horrible thing? I watched this a second time because I couldn’t believe what I heard. Thanks Ron for bringing us this story
Oh my God, I had chills when I saw the ages of the children. I got really sad for this family. Poor babies had so much life ahead and they had it cut in such a a horrible way. Really sad story. R.I.P. to this family.
What a tragic and sad story. Thank you Ron for not letting them be forgotten.
The statement about Tom..."There's nothing too mean for him to do.." Sounds like my birth mothers father... Sometimes evil just is. I'm not sure of a better way to put it. Even that long ago..That BROKE MY HEART!! A whole family with babies and elders...my heart couldn't take it..I'll bet the tears on that day were enough from everyone to form a small brooke. The mother fighting for her babies..my heart just breaks more with each detail..
Your comment really touched my heart. Love from Pierre Part Louisiana
@@linaleblanc8288 This whole story.. can't imagine witnessing the aftermath..That would be hard for a person to have to process. Only a demon could do such abominable things. Heartbroken wouldn't quite cut the feeling of it all...
Unfortunately the Devil has control of this Planet!
Humanism excused humans from responsibility for their actions. It has become obvious to this Catholic, in retrospect, that Protestant Calvinism is, ironically, the true agenda of the enlightenment. Humanism will lead to another dark ages.
@@geraldbarreno535 What’s funny about that ..
Thank you ou for playing "Little Martha " by Duane Allman in your video! I worked for those guys back in the 70s. Roseville Cemetery is a very special and beautiful place. I spent many afternoons there myself Great job, thanks again,
You probably knew my cousin "Red Dog" (Joseph Campbell). He was their Roadie since they formed in Jacksonville. He is buried there, too. I haven't seen the graves, want to see t hem. I had hoped to see them in this video, or he could make a short one about the ABB. Take care Jolene, the road goes on forever !
@@KindCountsDeb3773Cool! Red Dog is a legend!
@@KindCountsDeb3773 Deborah, my father owned the realty company that rented the Big House to Berry Oakley. The house belonged to my great aunt. My aunt had left a large dining room table in the attic when she moved to Virginia. Berry and the guys brought it down to use in the house. Berry autographed my Eat a Peach album before he died. My grandmother and my aunt went over there one day and met your cousin Red Dog. She told me about it. The neighbors were always complaining about the noise coming from the house. I answered the phone at my Dad's office, I remember it well. When the house was vacated, I drove over there and collected memorabilia that was left behind. Just thought you might enjoy the story.
Ron, your drone shots are so professional. I love the bird’s eye view of these monuments. Thank you!
Ron I'm so happy you're doing this story! I visit the Woolfolk family plot every time I go to Rose Hill cemetery to see the Allman Brothers. Such a sad story.
I've been myself. Love the guitar.....
Me too!
@@sandyworkman3025 that’s the only tune Duane ALLMAN wrote and it’s my favorite! Little Martha! She’s also buried at Rosehill 🍑
These poor people, too die in such a horrific way. May they all rest in peace.....
Me too.
Such a beautiful cemetery for such a tragic story.
You really know how to tell a story to keep you listening to the very end.
RIP Woolfolk family.....hope your story is never forgotten.
It's very beautiful...and VERY haunted. I have photos of bizarre and freaky things in that cemetary.
I'm glad I caught this show again, I hear or understand more the second time around. I feel the dread of having a whole family slaughtered.
I love the south, I lived in Virginia for almost 10 years, I loved the old southern plantations, my ex husband's family owns one and it was so beautiful, the architecture is stunning and the history... I can't get enough of the history
Virginia isn't the south
Mr RON you are the Best story teller hang on every word you really do bring people's stories to life
Hey gang!! Tonight's menu is homemade baked beans, homemade cornbread, leaf salad n hot or cold drinks. I brought some blankets so we can all bundle up around the bonfire n eat comfort food before tonights Video Under the Stars. It's going to b a good one so fill urself up n let's all watch!!
yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh cornbread 😋
Yum sounds good
Sounds very yummy! Homemade baked beans are the best!
Sounds like fun 😊
As a Maconite, I'd like to thank you for showcasing our beloved cemetery. Great video
I wonder how many stories are left untold in the cemeteries we visit. To think a tragedy such as this is found in such a beautiful spot and so many don’t even know it. It makes me sad to think of the stories left untold that will eventually be lost. The ones of the living day to day folks who loved, struggled, raised children, told jokes, looked at the same stars as me, and are now gone - with so many stories left untold. Thank you for shining a light into the darkness Ron.
What a gorgeous cemetery, and as always your drone footage is amazing. Little Martha's gravestone was just beautiful. Rest in Peace. The fox was an added bonus to your fascinating but sad and tragic story. I just don't understand how someone can do something so horrific to anyone, but especially children and elderly people. Thank you Ron. Rest in Peace to the Woolfolk family.
Your ability to bring historic, sad and emotion stirring events to life is a real gift. This one is no exception.
The child statue at the beginning of the video is an amazing piece of craftsmanship, she looks like she could become alive! Thanks Ron.
Thank you Ron for all the time and preparation that you do for each story. You are a master at storytelling too!

Thank you for your efforts on these stories. My fiance passed in 2008. He is buried here in Rosehill. I can't go back to visit. It's too sad for me.
Greg and Duane Allman are buried here, and they were my fiance favorite band. 💕
Yeah I saw their graves, so sad. Unfortunately it would’ve been a distraction for this story.
I'm sorry about your fiance.
So very sorry for your loss of your fiance, may God comfort you.
@@gabrielsoto9699 Thank you!
@@heididietrich9800 Thank you!
Wonderful entry, beautiful cemetery, tragic story, another great trip. Thank you.
little girl Martha statue How beautiful
A tragic story Ron. Poor family. May they rest in eternal peace. I didn't know about this story. The evil things that some people are capable of doing. I thought it was a nice thing that someone had the headstones replaced. Also thanks to you Ron for bringing us this story. You are a good guy. Look forward to your next update. Best wishes.
Beautiful old cemetery 🏞️
This is an intriguing story! Nine people murdered, RIP. I can't even imagine that scene. Thank you for walking us through Rose Hill cemetery, and sharing this tragic piece of Macon history.
Another well told story, Ron! Very sad-I never knew about this one. May they R.I.P. ❤️. Safe travels, Ron!
They were sad story s they were really good ☺️😊
Thank You Ron for today's walk. Beautiful cemetery. I got to see the fox. Immensely sad story may all the Woolfolk Family RIP; except Tom, last words if he was innocent should have cried out "I did not do it" there is a place for the soul of those people. Love your drone and music entry as always.
I haven't been there since I moved but I visited these graves and the Allman Brothers, while visiting family graves, in Macon. Lived there for eight years.
I haven't seen the Allman brothers graves, and my cousin Joseph Campbell is buried there, too. He was associated with the ABB from their start in Jacksonville as a Roadie. He went by "Red Dog" and was like family to them. He was the best known Roadie at the time. He is buried nearby.
@@KindCountsDeb3773 Your cousin was represented in the movie Almost Famous (as Red Dog!)
I can’t wait to hear tonight’s story. Sounds very interesting!!
Your stories are so informative. I do enjoy the history albeit some being so so sad.
God bless and stay safe.
The father treated his first 3 kids
terribly, he should have been there for them and the inheritance should have been their's.
They lost their mother and he just shipped them off... then marries and produces a whole new family.
How cold and unfeeling... the hurt those 3 felt must have been a factor in what he did... what made him what he became.
Back then it wasn’t unusual for a widower to place children with relatives until remarriage (no day cares).
My father did this too. He deserted us started a new family, but we were glad to get rid of him because he was so abusive. He abused his next family. We warned the mother. She didn't believe us. He has since passed away so he can't abuse anymore.
I agree a 💯, he must have been hurt ..,.though it doesn’t condone what he did !
A lot of men dump their first family to start a new one.
Strange the convict could afford to purchase a souvenir photo, but perhaps he did odd jobs or picked a pocket. Tom definitely had the motive & had always been known to be twice as mean as anyone else. Strange that he threw his clothes in a well. He had blood specks in his ears but no wounds. If I were about to be hanged & I was innocent, I’d be cursing everyone there & yelling I was innocent until I dropped. He just told the Marshall goodbye! Really sounds like the people were right in believing Tom did it. What a terrible thing for all of them to be so viciously killed.
and it sounds like he was effing with the crowd and the sheriff until the end.
@@BlackStump172 Good point from another side I never thought of. So sad to have such a horrible thing happen
I’m glad you came back to do more of this story. Although it makes you feel sick the family are being remembered. So thank you RON 💗💗💗💗 thanks also to all your Admin who work so hard keeping all the live chat free from trolls etc. take care good night and god bless 💗💗💗💗
Thanks, Muddy 😊
@@KimberlyLew pleasure xxx. What would we do with you lot. I’m watching this again no chatting so I can get all the details. As I was so pulled in by the first one Rob done I always wanted to know more. Think Ron needs to do more history the longer the videos the better. Although my stomach is in knots. Poor family. Hope your well
@@muddy_mummy7774 I watch each video many times. Seems I get something different each time…or something I missed. I’m good thank you & hope you are too!
@@KimberlyLew I do to lol. I have to come back I like history and I like to learn as we don’t hear of these in the uk. The bloody benders of like to know more about. Also aunt Annie
@@KimberlyLew they should employ Ron to make videos for the schools. I bet the kids will learn and remember. The videos are fantastic. I was following over a year kept quiet then I started to message and joining few months back. I enjoy it. It’s fascinating. Also very sad not here for all the gore but to learn about and to remember the poor families. And also the graves as we don’t have graves like these. It’s a bit different here in uk
What a beautiful cemetery! Thank you for sharing this tragic story.
Very sad. Late October 1971 Duane Allman was killed while riding his motorcycle down Macon Ave, when he hit a truck that was stopped at an intersection he passed away in the hospital. He was laid to rest a stones throw away from Little Martha Ellis. Rest in peace everyone. Stay safe everyone.(Oh my gosh I found out who did it. In Bibb County Georgia August 6 1887) 🤬😠.
Isn't Elizabeth Reed's grave right across from Duane's?
Not sure
@@steveoconnor7069 not sure stay safe.
@@steveoconnor7069 not sure stay safe.
@@patricklynch6771 Berry Oakley also died riding a motorcycle. Hard to believe these guys were only in their mid-20s...they were at the top of their game as an "mprovising band from the South".
What a horrible loss of life. Thank you, Ron, for telling their story.
Excellent drone work and music choices as usual.I have never heard about this case before so thanks for sharing this tragic tale with us.may they all rip
I was born and raised in Macon, Ga. and I thank you for such beautiful coverage of her gem by the river!! Growing up going to Rose Hill are incredible memories of my teenage years! I currently live on a road named Woolfolk in Peach County, right between Macon and Perry, and wonder if there is some connection to the family somehow. Macon also has female murderer Anjett Lyles, who poisoned her own family, in 1958 I believe. Looking forward to your next stop!!
Yes, I saw that story about Anjett Lyle's. She had a restaurant and the locals loved her, well until they found out who she really was.
I love the stories. I have always been drawn to cemeteries, even as a child. They are a peaceful place to be.
Thank you Ron, That cemetery is so lovely what a tragedy all those lives taken it upset me when I saw the photo's of the children what monster could do that?!!. Take care on your travels love from the UK x
Ron has become a super star of the vlog brigade.
I been to this cemetery before and visited Duane and Greg Allman's grave several years ago. It is beautiful. I loved your aerial video in he beginning. A truly great cemetery.
You do such an amazing job telling these stories. Also your use of the drone combined with the music you choose is always spot on.
Thanks; I've got my reminder set and I'm sure that it's going to be as interesting as your other videos. See you in about 6 hours 🙂
Hi Ron...my my your a busy 🐝 bee. What you do for your subscribers is so appreciated. Your efforts are evident from start to end. You just keep getting better. Well I guess you can tell you're loved. Take care🐝
Well Said MAE Sfarzo!
WE All Love Him “
Very Much 🐝
A Hug Sent to You

@@dulcehajjar5826 thanks very much...with hugs and smiles
What a tragedy, but well narrated by you as always. Well done! I’m guessing you’re home by now hope you made it safe and sound. Take care.
Yes back in Chicago thanks
@@FacesoftheForgotten do you think you'll ever do a video of the ax murders in villisco Iowa on 1912.. 6 children and 2 adults? They never found the killer..
I’m on the threshold of my 62nd birthday. Never thought I would ever belong in a gang, but look at me now! Rockin’it!
🤣 Thanks for the stories!
What a horrible sad family tragedy. 😢 beautiful Cemetery. So glad they had headstones replaced. This was great Ron and u r the master of the Drone now! Thx as always for sharing the stories and the adventures!
When the cemetery grows green again and blooms, it's even prettier.
WHAT!? I watch your videos all the time and I live in Macon! Imagine the surprise I had when I clicked on this video, haha. I have lived here my whole life and have never heard of this, sad to say.
thats what I try to find, untold stories, well--most of the time.
Another great show Ron. I love visiting the cemeteries and hearing the stories about the people who reside there. Thank you for being factual as possible while also being respectful.
Maybe next time you come south you can stop in Oklahoma and do a show about the Babbs Switch School Christmas fire. It's a really sad story 😞
Ron you do an amazing job with your videos, start to finish. Better than anything on tv, hands down!!! The cemetery looks like it goes on and on forever. Such a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing this tragic story and paying respects to this family!!!
Macon, Georgia. home of To Kill A Mockingbird. A+
Umm, I don't know where Mockingbird was filmed, but the book was set in Maycomb, Alabama.
so beautiful it’s like you bring them back to life like there still here loved the fox such a horrific way to die i hope there at peace they have the best place full of beautiful things,animals that run free another great video that statue stunning like the girl is frozen in time
I have been here many times Very beautiful cemetery.
I absolutely love your channel. I'm like a kid on Christmas morning waiting on your episodes. I appreciate all your hard work, and thank you for sharing all these wonderful places a lot of us can't travel to❤️
I was just there yesterday. My daughter is related to the Woolfolk family on her dad's side. YOU should see Rose Hill now. They have done a lot of upkeep and changes. Looks amazing ... Be careful, though. That is a rough side of town.
I have to say Ron your drone footage seems too be getting better. Great view of this beautiful and very different cemetery. Very sad about the Woolfolk family. It does make you wonder on who really killed them. May there souls rest in peace.
It is good to know that the graves were found and brought out into the open. This was quite a story and super sad on the young children involved. I loved all the different layers in the cemetery. That is something I don't see a lot of. Thank you for taking us on a tour!
Thanks Rhett- great to see you!
Can't wait to see the episode tonight!
The gloominess of the day just adds to the sadness of this story. Beautiful cemetery.
I just love your compassion and dedication. Remembering those who others forget is such an important and beautiful thing.
Ron, its so good to hear your voice again, miss your videos, thankyou for caring and being so kind, May God Jesus bless you alway’s as you walk the graveyard and cemetery 🙏🏻✝️❤️🌹☕️
JF and his crew have done an amazing job with the preservation of Rose Hill Cemetery since I have started Photographing Rose Hill in 2019
I was very impressed.
I love mortuary art of the mid to late 1800s❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Thank you very much 😀😀😀
Thank you Ron for sharing this story. So sad.
Whou, that's a very sad story...I like. how they restored the burial area...
What a gorgeous cemetery. I bet in the spring and summer when the grass is green and everything is leafed out and flowers have bloomed it is absolutely stunning.
Allman Bros. Little Martha, brings back memories.
Yes. Red Dog was my sweet cousin and he's buried there. I love the music that ABB gave. The Big House Museum is a great stop.
That cemetery is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen. Thank you for also sharing it with us
Wow! Huge cemetery!
Very good job Ron telling this story of this Family...so sad what happened to them all....thanks for sharing this Ron and I hope you have safe travels on your journey and safe where ever you go....Take care and stay safe and warm and healthy......Rip sweet family!!!!🙏🙏😊😊😇😇.
Thank you for doing this piece it's very sad and especially when he served in the in the civil war
Imagine all the work it took to terrace the cemetery.
Such huge graveyards. I would love to spend a few days wandering through those. Not morbid just very interesting. if only tomb stones could talk. Such stories would be told.
Wow, that's a really unique cemetery, very nice design.
Such a sad story! A person would have to have the devil in him to be so evil. I imagine they had to leave the graves unmarked for so long because of curiosity seekers.
The cemetery looks pretty good but does need some work.
The statue of the little girl was phenomenal!
ONE of a KIND cemetery....Thank you for bring this to us...
Oh how sad. It's heartbreaking. Thank you Ron. Be safe
Thank you Ron. This is my favorite channel. I love your stories. I found your channel couple months ago and have binge watched since. Even have my brother hooked. Your the best at what ya do.
Wow that’s really cool Kim thanks.
Well done. You give dignity and respect to these victims. Smh, poor lil babes. Stay safe and it’s great to hear of past lives and they’re stories, you tell them very well, thank you
Thanks Ron great episode but so sad 🍀🍀🍀🍀
Another great 1 Ron. Thank you
Can't wait for more.
Hey Ron and gang, the Colonel is in the house, peace, love and happiness!!!
Hello Colonel !
The Same to You
and Yours 🙌
@@dulcehajjar5826 thank you
Beautiful cemetery. I'd love to see that
I think this cemetery thus far is the most unique in it's design! Very beautiful! Beautiful fox, I found it intriguing that when you began the story of this tom fellow you spot a fox, hum! What a terrible death of this family, so sad. The statue of Martha was beautiful! I wonder who made it and if it looks like Martha did.
Hi all…nestling in to watch ☕️
I went back to reread this story. I think there's no doubt Tom did it. Nothing was said about investigators going to the well to try to retrieve the clothes. He probably threw the ax down there too. It looks like he got so angry over his Dad's new family getting some of the inheritance and he just killed everyone. I am a murder mystery obsessive. Thanks for your hard work. I really love your channel.
I am a crime enthusiast. I never thought I’d be addicted to listening to the podcasts snd such but it makes one realize how dangerous and cold people can be and think nothing of killing people let alone innocent children. Makes you wonder how the brain works
@@joannepechillo3139 Me too Joanne. Since I was a kid I was always curious and suspicious. I’ve never been able to turn that off. Facebook has The First 48 and Investigation ID. I belong to both of those. It’s really cool. I enjoy it.
@@doreenarcher8543 my dad was a police officer he drilled into my head to be aware of my surroundings
@@joannepechillo3139 Good advice. If I had to do it all over again I would have gone into law enforcement . My dad always told me I had “nose trouble”. I can’t ever seem to give it a rest. The good thing is I don’t act on my suspicions anymore. Thank you Joanne for your response. It’s been so fun for me to be a part of “Ron’sGang”.
@@doreenarcher8543 you’re welcome Doreen. I like this podcast too.
Heartbreaking story💔they will never be forgotten....thank you for your amazing work and stories❤🙏
Another great story..loving that your in the south covering some pretty cool stories
Have you ever been to the Lakeview Cemetery in Jamestown, N.Y. to see the Grace Galloway memorial statue? Lakeview is another beautiful old cemetery.
have not been to NY yet, maybe this summer. (have by been doing this 1.5 years, hit 22 states thus far)
Yes! Ron and the gang would love that place. I only live 40 minutes from there and have seen it in person. I recommend it on the Facebook page months ago. That monument closed in glass is amazing
What a gorgeous cemetery!
So tragic but glad you could feature them and give him honor and RIP all.
WOW that little girl Ellis statue, is fantastic and beautiful. You go to some beautiful, mysterious and historical cemeteries. Very sad story, but people not forgotten. Thank you for researching and sharing.
Happy Sunday Ron- have a good day
Thanks Ron ❤️❤️❤️
Your commentary is so professional. I don't know how you can keep your emotions intact like you do. I would be a blubbering mess seeing all those precious children laying in the ground and knowing how they died. Kudos to the Col. for restoring the graves and thank you for showing that he did so. Evil has always been and will always be with us in this life, but stories like this make us in this make us remember just how horrific it can be. I shudder to think how anyone could do such an awful thing knowing they must face their maker with this on their conscience. May the Woodford family rest in peace. I am glad justice was done.
Rest In Peace Beautiful Souls !
Thank you very much Ron for sharing this with us .
Many blessings be with you as you go be safe and stay safe .
🙏🏻🌹🌹🌹🙏🏻
🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️🙏🏻
That cemetery looks huge!! Lots off untold stories lie beneath the ground lost in time.Great story,Ron.
I'm a big Allman fan! I know alot about rose hill . I knew this story . I want to go to rose hill real bad!!!! The front gate in the 1800,s they would ring the bell when they brought someone new in..
This is my hometown, born and raised. I have visited this cemetery so many times and I am so shocked I never heard of this story. Thank you for sharing!
