Leader, strike up the band!: The history of music in the county’s early days is phenomenal, with numerous local marching bands leading the way. Most of us are well-acquainted with the Callicoon Center Band, which has continued its history for many years in that hamlet. Jeffersonville, Liberty and Youngsville bands, too, have been featured on these pages. This group may be a version of the Youngsville band, because Philip Jacobs of Youngsville appears to be the fourth man from the left in the lineup. The photo is by E.L. Graeff, a noted photographer of Liberty, which casts some uncertainty on the band’s affiliation. According to his obituary, Phil Jacobs “was the leader of the first band in Liberty, and was later prominent in musical activities in Youngsville.” Jacobs was married to Clara Inderlied of Youngsville in 1874, and they conducted the Maple Cottage boarding house in that hamlet. Our thanks to Brian LaBarr, a descendant of the Jacobs family, who contributed this photo.

During the Upper Delaware Council’s Litter Pluck last weekend the amazing Dark Forest Creation Crew of volunteers from the Burn Brae Mansion in Glen Spey found loads of metal buckets, piles of tires, bottles, almost an entire car, a bumper with the license plate still attached and a rusted out Sears and Roebuck cement mixer and filled an additional twenty bags with trash. Andy Russ summed up all their hard trash collecting saying “we are undoing the misdeeds of others.”
