JOHN H. TEMPLE FUNERAL, WALTER TEMPLE ESCORTING WIDOW ANITA TEMPLE
Color: Black; White
A photograph of mourners entering El Campo Santo Cemetery for the funeral of John H. Temple, April 1926. The image is taken from the driveway immediately outside the entrance, through which the pallbearers are carrying the casket of the deceased. In the foreground, behind the casket, are the widow Anita Davoust Temple, escorted by Walter P. Temple. At the far left is one open door of the hearse. At the right is a small portion of the front of a car. At the upper right is a section of the Walter P. Temple Memorial Mausoleum, in which the deceased was interred. At the center of the reverse is a stamp reading "WEBBS / APR 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, and a missing section of the image at the lower right, the overall condition is fair.
