Ok back in the days It was common practice to have what was commonly call HOLY CARDS for funerals or other important religious functions , They were given out and used in your prayer book you took to Sunday service ( used like some folks used ribbon markers in Bibles ) I would get that yours is from some sort of activity just after JKF's death
The picture you posted cuts off the bottom of the back Look there , it should have some sort of reference to a printer ect

Well it is still a Holy Card Many I have seen have some sort of printers mark on the bottom Anyway that is what it is in my opinion

From what I have found out is that this card was in a 888 page report by the commission presented to pres Johnson funny a pic of pres Johnson was in there to says that this card was handed out at private funeral session

And JKF being a Catholic the card would be considered a " Holy Card "

I believe you are referring to the Heritage Auction in which a memorial card happened to be inside the copy of the Warren Commission report being auctioned, that is, it wasn't part of the report. Note though that the size doesn't match the one you have found.

I agree it's interesting that it doesn't exactly match any of the ones that I find with a google image search, which would be from the many thousands of folks that were in town for the service. But I'm speculating that there are many more varieties of these memorial cards for those that weren't there, as I don't think that the prayer for him or his image would have had copyright protection applied since so many grieved his loss. But that's just speculation!

 

[jtw1313]

Yeah that is where I found it the size thing prob was so nobody try's to copy it if u compare the two they match right up also if it was the size the stated it would look pretty goofy

...I had to join the site to be able to see the pic
