  Wystan, Thanks for your efforts throughout the photographs which document the National Memorial Service of May 11, 1914. We will be able to better link the related images and expand the descriptions, including a date where one is not yet included.

Burying Binghamton dead (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  Binghamton NY was the site of a terrible fire in July 1913, when the Binghamton Clothing Factory fire claimed 31 lives. Twenty-one bodies were left unidentified, and after a memorial service at the Stone Opera House (presided over by a Rabbi, a Catholic priest, and a Lutheran pastor, just to cover all the likely bases), they were buried in the Spring Forest Cemetery. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1913_Binghamton_Factory_Fire Just a few weeks ago, Binghamton dedicated a plaque to the workers lost in this fire: www.wbng.com/news/local/51419212.html

• Wystan said:
