Imagen de los portadores del féretro de Lee Harvey Oswald
Un negativo original en blanco y negro de 35 mm tomado por Gene Gordon, fotógrafo jefe del Fort Worth Press, del funeral de Lee Harvey Oswald. El funeral tuvo lugar en el cementerio Rose Hill de Fort Worth, Texas, el lunes 25 de noviembre de 1963. Los portadores del féretro llevan el ataúd de Oswald a la tumba. Se pidió a los reporteros que actuaran como portadores del féretro porque no había suficientes asistentes al funeral. Tres de los portadores del féretro no están identificados: el hombre de delante, en primer plano, que lleva gafas; el hombre de detrás del ataúd, que lleva gafas, y el hombre oculto por el primer hombre no identificado. Los otros reporteros son: Mike Cochran, Associated Press (AP); Ed Horn, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Jerry Flemmons; Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Jon "Bunky" McConal, Fort Worth Star-Telegram; Preston McGraw, United Press International (UPI).

Gene Henderson Gordon (1929 - 2023) got his first job as a professional photographer at the age of 19 in 1948 at the Fort Worth Press, a Scripps-Howard newspaper launched in 1921. Less than five years later, Gordon was promoted to chief photographer, a position that he still held at the time of the Kennedy assassination in 1963. Gordon covered the Kennedys' arrival at Carswell Air Force Base on the night on Noviembre 21st and, a few hours later, President Kennedy's parking lot speech at the Hotel Texas and the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce breakfast in the hotel's ballroom. Following the assassination, he covered the funeral of Lee Harvey Oswald at Rose Hill Cemetery in Fort Worth on Noviembre 25th. Gene Gordon remained at the Fort Worth Press until the paper ceased publication in 1975, after which he became a staff photographer, later chief photographer, at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. He retired in 1997 after half a century as a professional photographer in Fort Worth. We were honored to record oral history interviews with Gene in 2003 and 2015. He also participated in two programs at The Sixth Floor Museum, including this Living History educational program in 2017: Living History with Gene Gordon (youtube.com). The Museum acquired his collection of Kennedy-related negatives and prints in 2014 and 2016. Gene Gordon passed away on Marzo 16, 2023. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
Cuatro de los portadores del féretro que aparecen en esta fotografía (Jerry Flemmons, Jon McConal, Mike Cochran y Preston McGraw) grabaron historias orales con el Museo. En octubre de 2021, Mike Cochran era el último portador del féretro del funeral de Oswald. -- Stephen Fagin, Conservador
