Funeral of Joseph Edward "Ed" Russell (1862-1912)
May 1, 1912 - Willisville, Illinois
If anyone has this photo or any that look like it I would love to hear from you.  The photographer (unknown) setup his camera on the balcony of the hotel (I think) to take this shot.  I've always wondered if he took more than one photo at the time.  The hearse carrying my great-grandfather's body is visible far up the street in front of the two story slope roofed building beyond the trees.  The body was transported from Willisville to Percy where he is buried in the IOOF cemetary.    JSR

I've divided the photo into three sections and posted a larger jpg of each.  These are fairly large and may take a little while to load.
Right - Includes people in front of Church
Center - Primarily people in street and in front of the two buildings beyond the church.
Left - Remainder of people on the left of the street, this includes the hearse.
