Lincoln Ladies Band, Williamsport Pa
In May, 1915, the following notice appeared in a music publication:
'Lincoln's Ladies' Band of Williams port, Pennsylvania, under the direction of Harry J. Lincoln; took the town by storm. when it made its initial bow to the public. Thousands of people filled the street to get a glimpse of the lady musicians as they headed the Memorial Day Parade.

"The nucleus of the Lincoln's Ladies Band was the Docked family -- five sisters and two nieces of Mrs. Fred DeCanio. Seeing the possibility of gathering his talented family together as a performing group,
Jeremiah M. Docked formed the Docked Family Band. Brothers, nephews, and cousins joined the girls, bringing the membership to 15."

Recently I was given access to a collection of old band photos. Rather than stick them in a folder for later, I'm going to put them all online quickly, and then I can come back and fill in the histories at a later date.
