"Vocophone Band of Verndale, Minn." The caption says: "Drum Major is Maud Mede, Ette Wilson Speelman Kit, Ella Reynolds, Ida Eddy, Jen Dil, Nell Baetlau, Duck Lil Reynold, Dolly Scott, Ada Razes girl Harrison. Five front ones are Vennie Cecil Rose Covey, the family bearer. Edna Scott, Lore Lemierville."
My great-grandfather E.E. Parker (1849-1916) lived in Verndale, I believe, while he was a conductor on the railroad. His son was born in 1890 in Oregon, so this picture must be in the 1870-85 era. I don't know yet if I have a relative who is a vocophonist in the band, but many in my family are musically inclined.
