Universalist Church - Laying Cornerstone (I have seen this picture twice, once says it's the laying of the cornerstone, the other says it's the Canton fair )

From a March 26, 1921 Plaindealer article "Stillman Foote's Marble Industry" "..The marble industry in Canton for many years lay dormant, to be revived again in the late seventies. In later years a fine grade of building marble was discovered in the town a few miles south of this village which was eventually quarried quite extensively  in what was known as the Stevens quarry ...owned and operated by E.E.
