Foresters on Parade, Part 1 (Random Old Photo)

(Click on image to enlarge)

"Hobart Juvenile Band Leading I.O.F. of A. Parade May-30-1909," says the caption. Mr. Haase was standing just south of the intersection of Main and Front Streets in Hobart. His camera caught the beginning of the parade, and behind it, the old frame St. Bridget Church. The postcard was never mailed.

If this image rings a bell with you, it's because we've seen another part of this parade before. When I put up that earlier post, I did not know Mr. Haase had taken at least two other photos of this parade, both of which I now have. Today's was the first in the series of three; the 9/19/10 post showed the third. The second is yet to come.
