Why Do People Keep Destroying This Headstone?

Stumbled upon a new favourite channel

One of the most interesting channels on you tube . You are a brilliant presenter and researcher Well done look forward to seeing lots more

Pretty sketchy that she marries his brother maybe there is something more to that after having been married for 15 plys years to a deadbeat, she thought the grass was greener up the street .. a typical love affair With scum brother?...

So its common knowledge that oysters were potentially dangerous?
Also kind sus that she serves her fever ridden husband old oysters. Maybe she was a smart cookie and used it as a cover after him being saved from the first poisoning that didn't work because that noisy neighbor also giving him potentially harmful food offerings. That happened to counteract the poison (

Man this guy has a rough time at the end of his life.. probably obviously going through alcohol withdrawals or something ,so he goes to his neighbor yoGets his fix , drinks expired booze,feals better.. says damn woman bring me someDinner. Proceeds to die from seafood poisoning.

Surely, if someone had enough money and family consent, the grave could be tested for poisons.

To be generous to Warren and his brother, why did Mary feel the oysters were safe to make for Warren.

To be fair to Mary, Warren maybe should have considered oysters not to be in the best condition either.

Is demoic acid common in New England? Often found in oysters in the Pacific Northwest.

How hard is it to know if the oysters were spoiled?
maybe she intentionally gave him spoiled oysters

Oysters were shipped places live, and by train. I'm not sure if they would have come in crates or in tubs of salt or brackish water, but I know they were shipped live. Refrigeration, the way we think of it today, first appeared in 1834, with the first commercial ice making machines becoming available in 1854, the first home refrigeration units didn't appear until 1913. Still it is possible that the oysters could have contained some kind of toxic bacteria, and he could have died from that, it's known as Vibriosis, and can come from eating undercooked or raw oysters.

Now I wonder if maybe Ol' Bill Gibbs might've poisoned his Brother in an attempt to frame Mary, but because he recovered, the accusation no longer stood credible, in spite of the stone already made out to accuse her of Arsenic Poisoning.

Here in Salt Lake City, Utah we have a grave that belongs to “Lilly E. Gray - Victim of the Beast 666”. Sounds right up your alley. Would love to hear a deep dive.

I guess I'm weird, but i don't understand people who go thru a graveyard, and stand over the bodies. Seems rude to me.

I saw this posted on Reddit last summer, hilarious!

I just stumbled upon your channel and i love this kind of stuff, just weird, mundane, day to day experience from the past. Thank you

I just discovered you last month & thought “why doesn’t this informative, funny, interesting & very entertaining young man have more clicks?” Finally the algorithm gods have discovered you!
You’re very unique, excellent comedic timing & accuracy is my favorite combo. I’m elated to see the numbers on this video, congratulations!

You're not supposed to eat fresh shellfish in March.

Eamon is Irish and pronounced like "Ay-min" iirc.

Oysters are probably one of the last things i would feed someone who was sick. Just sayin

it's not libel if it rhymes

It is not fair to make accusations with no facts or evidence. No trial convicted Mary Felton of murder. Therefore, the writer of the tombstone was being grossly unfair with no evidence.

Doctors of that time didn’t have the training or expertise that Drs do today.

It's pronounced ehman like a Not eeman

Plot twist: The third brother killed Warren in order to usurp his position as Mary's husband.

Wonder why Dr. Mark Felton didn't cover this topic.

Congratulations on a surprisingly interesting film. You Tube is increasingly full of clickbait clips but this is honestly very well researched and well presented.

I believe the brother

His Gall bladder may have bursted which is dark green and looks. Like poison

had a friend that ate bad oysters- got so sick he was hospitalized for 3 days, and put on an IV drip

I was dying and a blood specialist said I had Guill- Barre Syndrome and only a year to live. It was my mother in-law poisoning me. I only found out when cherry pie she baked for me, but I couldn't eat because I was so sick, was being eaten by her beloved son. She threw the pie in the garbage and then it was known what was killing me. My husband begged me not to call the police, the poor blood doctor was going to leave his job, but as a Catholic I forgave them and other then covid have been healthy.

What camera do you use to record your videos? The quality looks clean.

Please stand still

So one brother dies, another brother accuses the wife of doing it and then yet another brother gets married to that widow. Even the newspaper article you're quoting from sounds biased . Look at the initial description of the man. Not gonna get into that ... And with this be the same newspaper. That suddenly has somebody who knew somebody who knew somebody else.
I mean it kind of sounds like the town. Just didn't care for these people which in my opinion makes their testimony unreliable . Anyone who lives in a small town should already know how gossip works regardless of the truth.

Vandalizing cemeteries, is terrible!!!!!! Shame on people who do these things

What is wrong with your sound?

i will say, every town thats not that urbanized has "that family" that every single one is considered no good. Around here if someone has the last name Dalton, you kinda stay away from them. They're all related and they're all no good.

As a former resident of a very small town....don't ever assume innocence. In small towns there are several versions of every story. Everyone has an angle and most if not all will "circle the wagons" when light is shed on the goings on of the inhabitants. Truth is very hard to find when one family "owns" the town. Opinions of a persons character are often based on who your Grandparents or parents were. Oh and even when a community appears to be holy and righteous there are a lot of infidelity. Hostilities like in this case can burn on for a very long long time.

HOW SOON DID HIS BROTHER MARRY HIS WIFE ?
🤔

I love this video! Very cool!

If the oysters 🦪 didn’t spoil from not being fresh they very could have been bad for some kind of toxic algae bloom although other people should of died as well, but no one put any thought into it the two families hatred for each other

This was really quite interesting - thanks!!

sips coffee ready pa

Apples actually have arsenic in them.

You didn’t include the dates on the meeting house - per online- “Built in 1743, the Pelham Town Hall is the oldest town hall in continuous use in the United States.”

Great story. 😀

I once had a single (1) spoiled oyster and I was completely knocked out for 3 days. I certainly believe a whole meal of spoiled oysters could kill a sick man.

Crazy. In the 1860s a no good shut-in addict could afford oysters 80 miles inland, and in the 2020s the average citizen can barely afford real beef.

Still watching, but I was pretty convinced Mary was innocent here until it turned out that people seemed to hate Warren Gibbs. We've seen quite a few scenarios play out where someone is murdered, and because that someone is hated by their town (usually for genuinely being just a terrible person) people refuse to point fingers at the killer because they're just glad to be free of the menace. Normally there's at least some air of suspicion, so no one except his brother thinking anyone was wrong, and people generally saying some really bad stuff about Warren, sounds a lot like they just wanted him out and were happy to cover for Mary.

The most likely scenario so far is still that it was just some bad oysters, it's just that the circumstances around his death played out very similar to a lot of genuine murders of bad people. And, whether the murdered person is good or bad, whether the person killing them is a victim themselves and are making their community safer, it is still a murder. So yeah, probably not, but wouldn't discount it on account of people not liking him - that specific detail I'd say points in the not-innocent direction rather than innocent.

I think if Mary was really over his shit, she would have made him bad oysters because how can you prove it was intentional.
And she made the least shitty of his kin help take the responsibility of his spawn.
Good for her.
