St. Casimir Catholic Cemetery, Chicago, Illinois, 1939. Mr. Irene's Mom and her Parents, Anna and Stanley, again visit the cemetery. Mr. Irene has stacks of photos in which family members pose around headstones. It's customary, I think, because of the comfort level with death and funerals. When Mr. Irene's maternal Aunt Martha died, for example, the family took many photos so that they could send the images to relatives still living in Lithuania.
