Description

Undated black-and-white photograph of the Jacob Russell grave on South Park Boulevard near the former Horseshoe Lake/Upper Lake. The headstone is near a lone tree surrounded by an iron fence and marked by a boulder. Taken by John or Ezra Hecker. Caption on verso incorrectly identifies Jacob Russell as a Shaker. Boulder placed by Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.) in 1926, so photo was most likely taken in late 1920s or 1930s.
