Joaquin Miller's funeral pyre

March 31, 1940

Handwritten on back, "The funeral pyre he erected from rocks he had dug up on his land there and from which [most] of his ashes went up in smoke & flame & were blown out towards the Golden Gate by a North East wind May 25th 1913. While a man of every well known denomination spoke & The Bohemian Club Chorus sang "Good bye Joaquin Good Bye." The little cemetery is just behind the Pyre, where there rest of his ashes are buried with those of his mother and wife, Abbie."
