If you’ve visited our showroom, Coshocton Supply Co., you’ve seen the famous flagpole wedding portrait of “Mad” Marshall Jacobs & Yolanda Cosmar. The two were wed in 1946 atop a pole constructed in the Coshocton County Fairgrounds specially for Jacobs. He was aiming to win a world record for flagpole sitting, a fad from the 1920’s. He resided on the 176-foot tall pole for 26 days, and then the couple decided to say their vows atop the pole as well.
A video of the rehearsal can be viewed below. This is when the iconic photo was taken by Allan Grant from a helicopter.
Would you be willing to say “I do” atop a 15-story flagpole?
