| The West Milton Band I believe the date on this is January 1st 1909 |
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.

My grandfather was a member of this band , are there any names attached to this photograph? Thank you. John H
ReplyDeleteHello- we have in our possession a framed photograph of the West Milton band. The date is unknown (1910-1920?) but the bass drum has "West Milton - Organized 1906" written on its drumhead. The hats are similar style but lighter color, and the uniform coats are different, with more buttons, epaulets, and looped braiding. The photo has "Wilson Milton Pa." in the lower right hand corner, which I assume to be the photography studio. I believe (depending on date) that one of my great uncles, Folmer D. Barber (b. 1892) or Wilbur R. Barber (b. 1888) may be in the group. If the date of the photo is later, it may be possible that my paternal grandfather, LaVere O. Barber (b. 1899) is the family connection. I will try to scan the photo and send. Thanks, Terry Barber Swatara, PA
