The Wake of Uncle John Wolfe.

This photo was sent by John and Jean Davis to the Kunz family.

"This may be the craziest present ever received, but, we got it on our first Christmas at 800 Glenwood. It's a picture of Uncle John Wolfe's Wake in the front room.

He was only 21  and he drank some bad bath tub gin during the prohibition era.You can see your parlor in its original state, stencils, light fixtures, etc.

It was given to us by the caretaker of the house. Hope you think it's as cool and hysterical as we did!

It stays with the house always!"
