JOHN H. TEMPLE FUNERAL, CASKET CARRIED INTO THE MAUSOLEUM
Color: Black; White
A photograph of a casket being carried into the Walter P. Temple Memorial Mausoleum in El Campo Santo Cemetery for the funeral of John H. Temple, April 1926. The image is taken from just outside the structure with the pallbearers lifting the coffin from the sidewalk below up the three steps into the mausoleum. At the bottom of the image are several floral displays. At the top and right are three columns and part of the entranceway into the structure. On the reverse is a stamp which reads "WEBBS / APRIL 14 1926 / SAN JOSE," the date referring to the processing date. At the bottom right corner is the stamped number "30." Preprinted at several locations on the reverse is the brand name "VELOX" referring to Kodak paper. With some light discoloration and surface soiling, the overall condition is good.
