Marion Band of 1910

Years ago band concerts, held in the courthouse yard, were very popular.

In 1910 these were the local men that made the music.  Front row left to right:

Douglas Clement, Jim Hicklin, Ollie Tucker, Bandmaster Mr. Lawson, Ashley Kemp, Jim Travis, Harry Hammond, William Rochester and Medley Cannon.

Back row: Walter Guess, W. E. Potter, Carey Henry, Mr. Lawson's son, Noble Hill, Jeffrey Travis, Dugan Ramage, Ira Sutherland and Lee Easley. 
 

The old gazebo was a favorite gathering place to hear the local band play on week-ends.
