1906 PEARL JUBILEE: Freeland's 1906 Pearl Jubilee was organized by its many businessmen and social leaders. Photographic postcards capture the mood of that special celebration - there are currently 8 views available here. There is also a small booklet available that describes the Pearl Jubilee in more detail, and information about that is also on the Pearl Jubilee page.ST. MARY'S BAND: Here are two photos of St. Mary's Band, taken sometime between 1906 and 1920. The only person who has been identified to me at present is Michael Potochney, one of the founders of St. Mary's Church and owner of a bottling company in Freeland. He is carrying the bass horn in these pictures. One photo is a formal group photo on the church steps, while the other shows the band in marching formation on Fern street.Credits: Thank you to the family of Michael Potochney, through whose courtesy these two photos of St. Mary's Band were provided. CITY DIRECTORIES: Some of the early city directories included listings of
societies, clubs and other social organizations. Links to some of those lists
are given here. |
