I hope you all have a wonderful Easter! I thought I’d share an Easter-related photo today.
This picture was taken on Easter 1925 at the Clinton Street United Methodist Church in Lockport, NY.
The minister (standing to the right) is my husband’s great-grandfather, Nicholas Van Cossaboon.
The other people in the picture are as follows:
