Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Wee Kirk o' the Heather with trees surrounding it. Ivy grows on the side of the church. The front end of the car is visible at the right, and what may be the bumper of another car is at the left. A tower with a cross at the top rises above the church at the right. Text from negative sleeve: 529. Glendale, Calif. April 4, 1939. Wedding of Samuel C. Longstreet and Cosette Pohle, about 5:30 p.m. Sam Longstreet was the son of Charles Longstreet of Red Oak, Iowa. Charlie, or "Chad" as we called him, was my playmate in Red Oak about 1880-1886. The Longstreets lived in the house next west of us and as there were several children in each West and Longstreet family, we were always together. I happened to see the notice in a Los Angeles paper of the wedding to take place in Los Angeles, Church of the Heather Forest Lawn. I went out and took photos unbeknown to anyone. Sent copies to Charlie in Red Oak and got a great kick out of it. Church of the Wee Kirk of the Heather. The cross being erected for Easter can be seen in right side of photos. 2 negatives.
