Besides Arthur, I wonder where the other family members were. Like Fannie's parents and Charlie's mother? I know it would be impossible to get everyone at the funeral in a photograph, but I'm surprised that the parents were not closer to the caskets. Maybe they were and we just can see them.

Two of his uncles, Marion and George were near Arthur. And the other uncles may be close by but I just haven't recognized them yet.

I've always wondered about that. Maybe the parents were sitting down away from the caskets. Or they didn't want to be in the picture.

This version (the one on Maria's website) of the casket picture is slightly different than the one I'm used to seeing. In this one Artur is looking at the camera and you can see most of his face. The one I'm used to seeing he is looking down and only about half is face if visible.
There only seem to be men on the front line around the casket. Maybe this was a mens event and women had to take a back seat.

The one in the newspaper shows ALL of Arthur including another man beside him.

I saw that picture somewhere once, but I can't find it anywhere again.
