Do you recognize anyone in this Minburn Band picture? I would love to know who some of the other band members are and when the picture was taken. My grandfather, Edwin L. Hill, is second from the left in the front row. There was no mark on the picture. I assume it was taken in the 1880's or 1890's. Notice the "sliding trumpet-trombone hybrid" several are playing. I am assuming it was a municipal band or private group because there was no high school in Minburn at the time he would have gone to high school. These fellows look older than that anyway. Wouldn't it be fun to hear them play? Marjorie Hill Joslin |
