Main Road, 0522, Noble & Cooley Drum Makers Band
Title
Main Road, 0522, Noble & Cooley Drum Makers Band
Description
The Noble & Cooley Drum Makers Band, in the yard at 522 Main Road (the residence of Roswell Rowley).
Shown in the picture: Front Row, seated (L-R): Band Master (unidentified), Ellis Goodrich, Orville Noble, Buell Tinker, Roswell Rowley, Silas Ripley (with drum), Edgar Holcomb, Frank Rowley, Bert Roberts. Back Row, standing (L-R): Ed Henry, Unidentified, (?) Pomeroy, Charlie Tryon, Fred Gibbons, Carl Brusch, Phil Messenger, Bradford Cook (with snare drum).
The list above differs slightly from the notes on the back of the photo. Silas Noble (with bass drum) has been listed above with the front row. Bradford Cook (standing, with snare drum) has been listed above with the back row. This is because the last two people on the right in the front row are known to be Frank Rowley and Burt Roberts; neither are Bradford Cook. Also, the notes on the back of the photo are short one person in the back row, which suggests Bradford Cook probably should have been included as the last person on the right in the back row.
This photo is an excellent example of how duplicates are useful. One donor contributed an excellent photo but with no information on the people in the photo. Another donor contributed a photo in very poor condition but with all the identities written on the back.
