The title pairs the name Reid with Taft, which suggests a funeral that drew a former or sitting president to the service, though the record does not say who died or where the service took place. This glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the photographs the Bain News Service distributed to newspapers and magazines in New York from about 1900 into the 1920s. Taft was president from 1909 to 1913, so a funeral he attended would most likely fall within that period, but the record gives no date. The Bain archive's titles came from caption cards written at the time, and the Library of Congress notes that they are unverified, so the identifications are worth checking against contemporary newspapers.
