A Child's Funeral - Circa 1950?

hubert mattingly from jane smith family album.jpg

This picture was given to my family by a member of the family whose baby is pictured here. It is one of the few pictures we have of my grandfather, Hubie Mattingly, in his role as an undertaker for Mattingly Funeral Home. I am pretty sure the visitation for this little child took place in the family's home rather than at the funeral home.

You know I have a picture of my aunt who died as an infant and it was taken outside like this. There is a field in the background. Do you think they would take them outside because of the lighting?

LOL, Unknown! Actually, I think the picture was taken somewhere in St. Francis.

Circa means born about or taken about...vise versa!!
