The occasion was a reunion of 49ers in Hangtown (Placerville), CA. I think it happened in 1912.

Scott has it right. That is John M. Studebaker and his old buddies who met for a reunion in old Placerville (nee Hangtown). They are shown in front of the Tremont House prior to a special dinner. The year was 1912 and John M. was 78. He passed away on March 17, 1917.Last edited by Studebaker Wheel; 12-04-2011, 03:06 PM.Richard Quinn

Didn't you publish that, with the story, in a Turning Wheels' Almanac or Antique Studebaker Review, Dick?
It and the story certainly seem familiar. BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.
