Monrovia's Symphony Orchestra about 1900. Monrovia Messenger, Feb. 10, 1893, writes: A Fine Orchestra. In its report of its recent Entertainment at Sierra Madre the VISTA says: "The Music by the Monrovia orchestra was unusually fine. They have an organization superior to many in larger towns. Prof. Cronewett and his violin and Prof. Strite with cornet were 'A1'. Mr. Reichard also showed a good baritone. Mrs. Parker, double bass and Miss Bowerman at the piano. The other performers were F.G. Seger, 2nd violin; Chris. Elbing, 3rd violin; C.W. Shook, French horn. A fine orchestra." From the Myron Hotchkiss collection. See full details here.
