FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH, GROUP
some holding musical instruments / A few recognized from Metlakatla and Hydaburg
Rev. Corser at lower right
THis picure must have been taken about 1901-02. Tom Ukas tells me it was a gathering shortly after completion of the church building. The man at the lower right is Rev. Harry Corser and according to the church recors he arrived here in 1900. His first Session records are under the date of July 6, 1900. Tom thought he had been here a year or so when this picture was taken. Many of the Natives were from other villages -- came for the celebration (on back of picture)
Would the man at the top of the picture be S. Hall Young? I have only seen pictures of him with white hair and beard. (Also on back of picture).
