View is to the northeast from Garroway (4th Avenue South) showing a crowd gathered on the south lawn of the Moorhead High School for a memorial service for assassinated President William McKinley on September 19, 1901. The wall of the High School is covered with black crepe and decorated with two large American flags flanking a draped photo of McKinley. Dignitaries sit on a platform before the crowd. Standing at left is Rev. Gustav Larson of Moorhead's Trinity Lutheran Church reading a passage from the Bible.
