EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at the National Casket Company in Oneida, New York, on April 3,1916. The image showcases a group of dedicated workers sanding mouldings intended for wooden caskets. With their sleeves rolled up and focused expressions, these men are diligently using various tools to perfect each piece. The atmosphere in the factory is bustling with activity as machines hum and sawdust fills the air. The workers skillfully maneuver belt-driven sanding machines to smooth out the intricate details of the mouldings. Their expertise is evident as they work meticulously to ensure that every inch meets the company's high standards. The significance of this photo lies not only in its portrayal of early 20th-century industry but also in its connection to an essential aspect of American culture: funeral traditions. As we observe these craftsmen at work, it becomes apparent that their efforts contribute to creating beautiful final resting places for loved ones. Photographer William Davis Hassler captured this snapshot for posterity on behalf of the National Casket Company. Today, this historical image resides within the collection of the New-York Historical Society, serving as a testament to both craftsmanship and industrial progress during this era. Through this photograph's lens, we gain insight into a bygone era when skilled artisans crafted wooden caskets with care and precision – honoring those who have passed while leaving behind an enduring legacy.
