Unidentified photo

Jo Cluck was going through a bunch of her old Illinois magazines and came across this photo. It was never identified can anyone identify the people in the photo. If so email me! No I can’t give you a subscription to the world’s greatest magazine, but it would be interesting as to who was in the photo, thanks Laurie lselpien@msn.com

Some of the people have been identified!

I have good news. I have a list of people that are in the Vickers/Foster picture that my cousin Jo Cluck submitted to you. I contacted my cousin, Robbie Vickers-McKeage in Arkansas who was a Vickers and Erastus Vickers and Ada Belle Foster were her grandparents. Robbie and I both believe this picture is not a wedding picture as I was told. I noticed everyone in the picture is wearing a black flower of some sort and Nancy Ann Deen Russell is also holding a picture of someone. Also, most of the people in the picture are Russell's and extended family members. We believe the picture is of a funeral. Robbie says these are the people to the best of her knowledge.
