The record gives only the title "Gaynor funeral," and the Bain News Service notes on the negative are unverified, so the sitter and event cannot be confirmed from the record alone. The most likely subject is William J. Gaynor, the New York mayor who was shot as he prepared to sail for Europe in August 1910 and died that September. The Bain News Service, a photo agency working in New York in the early twentieth century, sent photographers to public events like this, and its glass negatives often capture crowds, mourners and street scenes. The setting and the people gathered around the funeral may tell you more than the caption does.
