In Our Sunday Finest

First Christian Church’s Sunday School in Canton, Ohio had formal photos taken on a Sunday morning in June, 1914.

Photos were taken by C.P. Rief. I.A. Miller was the copyright claimant.

Let’s look at the ladies’ Sunday school first:

The men’s Sunday School photo was erroneously labeled 1912, but both photos were taken June 7, 1914.

These pictures have so many little details!

June can get pretty hot in Ohio. I couldn’t find a historic paper with the temperature but I checked what today’s temperature is in Canton—another Sunday morning in June 110 years later. The high today is 83°. Pretty warm for those hats, ties, parasols, and coats but they do look lovely!
