• Name:Emily Riippa MTU Class of: That looks like the Evergreen Cemetery in Eagle River to me. I'm not positive of that assessment, but the only place in the Keweenaw where I've seen that style of ornate fence surrounding plots is Eagle River. Of course, such fences may have been in other cemeteries at earlier times but have since been removed. 10/11/2011 11:36:08 PM by Anonymous
• By their uniforms, the men appear to be members of the Grand Army of the Republic. This is likely the funeral of a Civil War veteran, or Decoration Day (Memorial Day) ceremonies. 2/14/2010 8:50:56 PM by mladair
