Both my grandfathers were altar boys in the 1920s in the City of Saint Paul. My one grandfather, Louis, used to tell me stories about his days as a youth serving at the altar for this old Austrian, Father Leopold Haas. In fact, my grandpa played the organ at this funeral in 1935. See here for a larger image of this photo and notice the preaching stole on the table: :http://collections.mnhs.org/visualresources/image.cfm?imageid=154075&Page=1&Keywords=Leopold%20Haas&SearchType=Basic
