JOHN H. TEMPLE FUNERAL, PRIEST LEAVING THE MAUSOLEUM
Color: Black; White
A photograph of a priest leaving 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 priest on the last step putting on a hat and an altar boy two steps behind him and holding a cross. Just exiting the structure are a man and woman. At the bottom of the image are several floral displays and in the background at the far left is a woman standing on the sidewalk. 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.
