Walhalla - funeral procession 1900.

  This postcard c1920?
Lee real photo post card showing a terrible event in Walhalla when 6 members of the local Italian community drowned in the river.
2 children and 4 adults lost their lives.
Long single line of people.  Camera let a little light in at one side.
Lee never missed the opportunity to record every town event.
Lucky he did - his views chronical much the town's history.
Unusual that this event was re-issued years later as a post card??
Unused back.
