Funeral service; 1939 brick church

Description

The body of Andrew Jakubcin, Jr. lies in state in the chancel of St. Luke's Lutheran Church (the brick sanctuary erected in 1939) prior to the funeral service on September 15, 1954. (Date of death: Sept. 11, 1954) The altar area was beautifully decorated and many wreaths and other floral tributes adorned the chancel area. The wooden pews hold "palm fans" for worshipers' use because the building lacked an air conditioning system. The photo was taken from the small balcony which led to the belfry in the 1939 structure. Interment at St. Luke's Cemetery followed the memorial service in the church. Mr. Jakubcin was survived by his wife, Emily, who was carrying their first child at the time of his death. Their son, Andrew John Jakubcin, was born in December, 1954. 3x5 B&W snapshot, scanned on Epson10000XL at SLLC, 2011.
