The record names only a "Mitchell Funeral," and the title comes from caption cards and negative data that the Library of Congress has not verified, so the people, place, and date remain unknown. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, when glass negatives were still standard for press work. Funerals were common subjects for such agencies, which often covered the mourners, processions, and crowds attending prominent or newsworthy deaths. Viewers should read the title as a lead rather than a confirmed identification.
