Cumberland Valley Fire Company Band Gets New Instruments

It was announced in the October 1, 1886 edition of the Shippensburg Chronicle that the Cumberland Valley Fire Company Band purchased a full set of new instruments, costing about $150. They presented the previous Friday and it was reported that the “boys” had been doing some fine “tooting” since. Mr. Frank Mowers was the band leader.

I am sorry to add the word verification but recently 88 of my post were spammed in one night. I do not have the time to correct that many post again, so this will eliminate the bullshit.
