Original 1947 AP Wirephoto showing the funeral of Rev. J. Hugh O'Donnell, C.S.C., former president of the University of Notre Dame, at Sacred Heart Church on the Notre Dame campus in South Bend, Indiana. Five bishops, dignitaries, state officials and others attended the service. This overhead view shows O'Donnell's casket in the center aisle, with Rev. John Cavanaugh, C.S.C., who succeeded him as university president, at the altar. Original AP caption is printed directly along the bottom of the photograph. Period tape remains attached at the corners. Measures approximately 6½ x 9⅛ inches, with expected age and newsroom/archive handling wear. Came from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
