Cochran in 1890.  Although the Cochran family is well documented (due to W.J.’s successful construction business in Boonville, Missouri) it’s alway nice to have extra evidence.

It was an important event for the small town of Fulton, Missouri, and thousands of people gathered to commemorate the event.


Note: The video has no sound, since it was converted from 8mm film.

The video shows the parade, which consists of cars (clearly labeled as to who is riding within) and the marching band; in addition to a few shots of the Memorial itself.
