Lane Street Project: an Odd Fellows funeral.

Photographs of Lane Street Project cemeteries during their period of usage are exceedingly rare. The photo, which may depict friends or relatives of Samuel H. Vick‘s family, appears to have been taken in Odd Fellows Cemetery. An older woman, a man in perhaps late middle-age, a young woman, and girl stand behind what appears to be a grave marker dedicated with a small American flag. (Was it Memorial Day?) Bearded irises grow in the foreground. Two grave markers are clearly visible at middle distance to the right, with others perhaps beyond.

I am grateful to an anonymous supporter for use of this image.
