Description

A photo of the Mantorville Cornet Band with their instruments. 14 men with clarinets, cornets, tubas, and drums. Written in pencil on the bottom "taken in West Concord". We are unsure of when the picture was taken and what the band was doing in West Concord. One place says 1902 and another says July 4, 1895, while entertaining at the Old Settlers meeting. Some of these pictures were made from negatives belonging to Elisa Naegeli
