This one right here is probably one of our most popular.

This is the unknown dead men displayed here in 1901.

Colby, Libre, and I are standing on a street corner in Fairhaven, a historic neighborhood

in Bellingham, Washington.

And like a lot of historic neighborhoods, if you pay attention when you walk around

Fairhaven, you'll notice these little historic plaques embedded into the sidewalk here

in there.

But unlike most of the historic plaques I've run across in my travels, the markers here

in Fairhaven are a little bit darker and a little bit weirder.

Like the people of Fairhaven have dedicated this marker to the spot where they used to

display their dead people.

The gist of this was that there were a lot of gondos.

It was a very transient population, heavily male.

You know, a lot of times they were drinking, they were fighting, they were working dirty,

dangerous jobs, mines and fishing and logging and sometimes people died and no one knew

who they were.

So this is the best part.

The body is ended up with Fairhaven's coroner.

And his name was, I kid you not.

Coroner J.W.

Coroner.

Coroner.
