Description
Exterior photograph of funeral scene with an estimated 100 people standing behind a small table in front of the open doors to building. The funeral was for George Ige and held on February 19, 1943. On the table is a small white package with a dark ribbon. Behind the package is a photograph on a stand of a man. Building has sign giving address as Blk. 15 Bldg. 15, which is the address of the Protestant Church. Numerous flower arrangements are to the sides of the small table. The caption reads: George Ige 23-10-3. Photo from: "Funeral scenes photographed by Allan W. Ramsey" panel created by Shiro "Shi" Nomura (ecm_nom_0900). The Eastern California Museum Object ID for this item is A2000.1.2f. A collection of panel collages created by Shiro and Mary Nomura, both of whom were incarcerated at Manzanar from 1942-1945, for the Eastern California Museum's Manzanar Project. The panels are comprised of photographs, artifacts, documents, and stories collected by "Shi" starting in the 1970s. Over the following 20 years, the Nomuras assembled more than 75 panels depicting their personal interpretation of Manzanar 'camp' life, major events, history, and site preservation efforts. In each panel Shi and Mary provide valuable first-person documentation from their experiences. These panels have been displayed at various community events, annual Manzanar Pilgrimages, and the Eastern California Museum (the permanent home of the collection).
