A funeral procession in Utica, New York, is the subject here, and the record names the deceased only as a Sherman, so the individual and the date of the service are not confirmed. The title comes from caption information written by the Bain News Service, which was a New York photo agency that sold pictures of current events to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its photographers worked mainly with glass negatives like this one, which gave sharp detail for newspaper reproduction. Those caption notes were not checked against other sources, so the names and place details are worth confirming before relying on them.
