The death of Jackson Barnett, a wealthy Native American man, in 1934 stirred controversy when a woman whose marriage to him had been voided claimed to be a custodian of his body. After much dispute with different Native American agencies and some delay, Barnett was buried at Hollywood Cemetery with a Christian funeral service. This photograph is likely related to the article, “Jackson Barnett Buried,” Los Angeles Times, 8 Jun 1934: A1. Mrs. Barnett, right, peers into the opened casket of her late husband Jackson Barnett, held up by an unidentified man. Two other men are seen in the background. Text from negative sleeve: Barnett, Jackson Funeral Mrs. Jackson Barnett Handwritten on negative: Mrs Anna Laura Barnett takes last look at Jackson Barnett
