Featured above, "SHORT TRACT BAND, 1915" - submitted by Marjorie Marriott, Fillmore NY; In front of old Wiles Store; Main Street - Fillmore.

Known: Ed Marriott, Left on Trombone;  Merlin Ess;  Lloyd Voss, Trombone; Fay Wellstead, Far Right.

From Viewers: : Anne Voss (& Everett”Jack”) write: “Front Row after Floyd Voss, Clarence “Doc” Voss and then Is Jacobs, long time band leader in Angelica.  Everett Voss’s father, Morris “Cap” Voss played snare drum, 1st man on right last row.  Anne played trombone in the band in the 1940s.  “Is” Jacobs was still directing and playing cornet.”  Nan Fiegl writes: I am uncertain about this or I would have written sooner.  My uncle, John D. Redman, who died in the 1990's at 100 years od age, was a member of the Short Tract Band.  He played the trumpet.  His good friend was Lloyd Voss, who is shown in front, third from the left.  I'm quite sure Uncle John is the one with the trumpet, seventh from left in the front.  He showed me an original of this photo years ago, and he was more easily recognizable to me in that. Maybe this will jog some more memories.*********Also -- perhaps you could help find someone who remembers the Medicine Show which came to Short Tract just before World War II.   My cousins and I went to it as children, and I remember the thrill at seeing old silent movies, and watching the "Amateur Show".  Thanks!    Nan Fiegl”
