Douglas and Sing Ambulance

This ambulance was owned by Douglas & Sing Funeral Home. This photograh was taken in 1932. On the photograph, the driver seen here is identified as Karl Miller and was reportedly killed shortly after the picture was taken. However, Karl Miller is the donor of the photograph, there is no death certificate for him in 1932, and he is listed in the Charlotte City Directories well into the 1940s. Therefore some mistake must have been made. Physical Description: 8x10 glossy Publisher: Unknown
