Funeral Party around Casket
A funeral party is assembled around a casket in front of an upright-and-wing frame house. Two older men on the left, one identified as Lars D. Reque, stand with Bibles while several women wearing Norwegian-style patterned shawls are standing close to the casket. This house was insured by the Hekla Fire Insurance Company, which sold insurance to many Norwegian-American households in south central Wisconsin. |
