Letter: Picture most likely Memorial Day

Joe Hare writes:
The Memorial Day program is usually held, at least partially, at the Monument as is pictured here. The shadows indicate that it was in the afternoon, which matches with the normal time of the Memorial Day program to honor our fallen heroes.

Any Veterans Day programs were usually held in the mornings, many times in conjunction with a breakfast. This program was usually not outside at the Memorial.

This is a great picture and was probably made in the late 1970's. Thanks for running it. Do you think that is Bro. Doug Mosley leading a prayer?

Mystery: Who is the man praying in this photo?



2020-11-11 - Columbia, KY - Photo from CM keepsake photo archives.

Joe Hare did some detective work on the large photo from earlier today, checking the shadows for time of day, and finding this service from years past is likely a Memorial Day program at the Monument.

Probably from the late 1970s, his question for readers is, "Do you think that is Bro. Doug Mosley leading the prayer?"

The man praying in the group picture has been blown up and cropped for this post in case his identity can be added. Unfortunately, the old photo had no writing on the back to give a clue as to the year nor any names.
