Missouri Harmony at Menard old settlers' meet

[Email from Mark Johnson, Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, July 30, 2008]

Hello Peter,


Here is the bit about Missouri harmony being used at an old settler meeting:

Aug. 9, 1884

"--Old Settlers, hark! Don't fail to bring out your Missouri harmonies for the reunion on the 14th. All who have such laid away, hunt them up so that we can have some old-fashioned glee singing. E.M. Goff." [Petersburg Observer, 8/9/1884, 3:2]
