Civil War Veteran Funeral in Waukon

 

I believe these photos to be of a Civil War Veteran's funeral in Waukon. They are quite dramatic!  There is a horse-drawn hearse, and the procession is going down Spring Avenue, headed out to the Oakland cemetery. Unfortunately, I have no idea whose funeral it is. The pictures were taken circa 1910 - 1920 by Will Hegeman (W. H. Hegeman).   Note the cars all facing foreward ..... Jeanne Hegeman

Note: If anyone can narrow down the date of these photos and/or identify whose funeral it was, please notify Sharyl
