Title
Program from Old Folks' Home Cornerstone Laying Ceremony
Description
This is the program from the cornerstone laying ceremony of the Old Folks' Home. The document includes the names of the individuals and institutional groups that spoke and performed. The event took place on April 27, but the year is unknown. Eartha M.M. White opened the Old Folks' Home in 1902, so this ceremony, which presumably took place prior to the construction of the building, may have happened in 1901 or earlier.
