HISTORICAL MUSING In the April 15, 1915 "Lipscomb Limelight" posted the following, author unknown. Died- Last part of last week from complication of natural causes, at the age of about fifteen months, the Lipscomb Military Band. It had survived the cold an chilly blasts of the winter days, had been nourished through the teething period in safety and would have been able to toddle alone with another twelve months growth, but such is fate. a flower bloometh in the spring, spreads its brilliant leaves to the light of the sun for a time with its sweet fragrance blown to the breezes and its no more; so it is with the band, the pride of Lipscomb, it has furnished the musical notes that entertained the crowds on the fourth, pleased the gatherings at church socials and school houses, without that which to sustain life, it succumbs to the fate of the times and dwindles into oblivion. It grieves Lime Light that this be so. Our sympathy is with the mourners who have been such zealous tooters. And as we scatter the last garland of flowers we cherish the thought all is well that ends well. This is the most elaborate obit for an organization, I have ever read. It must have been a great band. Will try to find articles on them. |
