The title credits this glass negative to a funeral for someone named Sickles, but the Bain News Service supplied that label without verification, and the record gives no date or location. The surname most likely points to Gen. Daniel Sickles, the Civil War officer and later New York congressman who died in 1914 and drew wide press attention, though the negative itself does not confirm that link. The Bain News Service was a photo agency that sold news pictures from New York and Washington in the early twentieth century, so the image most likely comes from that period and was made for newspaper use.
