                <text>The Union Band performing at the Leo Frey Funeral in Springfield. On verso: "This old picture by the late Guy Mathis is about the only one of its kind now extant showing the union band in such a turn-out. This great band, numbering about 150 players, is shown stretched along the road running along the east side of Oak Ridge and Cavalry Cemeteries, ready to march back to town after she services at the grave. The funeral was that of Leo Frey, a well-known bandsman and union man, who died May 28, 1901, and was buried in Calvary Cemetery two days later. The union band was always led by Prof. Louis Lehmann, the official bandmaster of the union. In front at left was the drum-major, the popular Bob Peel, who headed many a band in old-time parades here. In the foreground with the big sousaphone was the late Henry Leeder, and 'visible under the glass,' are Prof. Lehmann and practically all of the well-known bandsmen of that era--such as Bob Drach, Jim Hopkins, Lee Hopkins, Charlie Willey, John Marx, Vird Crawford, John Lanham, Charlie Aschauer, Lee Merkle, Bert Sutton, Sid Owens, John Neu, Ed Hofferkamp, Alec McCosker, John Bush, John Smurr, Frank Leeder, Eben Hopkins, Dennis Hartnett, John Wienold, Gus Kessberger, Caleb Willey, Jack Willey, Bill Leeder, Fred Casdorf, Henry Goldsmith."</text>

                  <text>The Federal Writers' Project began in 1935 as part of the United States Work Progress Administration created under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal program. The Federal Writers' Project provided employment opportunities for historians, teachers, writers, librarians, and other white-collar workers. Initially the project produced guidebooks entitled American Guide on several regions of the country with an emphasis on the the country's scenic, historical, cultural, and economic resources. The Illinois Writers' Project, the state office for the Federal Writers' Project, produced state-wide guidebooks as well as regional publications which included work by Richard Wright, Saul Bellow, Margaret Walker, and Louis "Studs" Terkel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photographs contained in this collection include images of farm life in southern Illinois, Chicago architecture, Greek-American life in Chicago's Greektown, and historic buildings and architecture throughout the state. Photographer Nick John Matsoukas' images are featured in this collection and appear with their original photo captions.</text>

                  <text>The Federal Writers' Project began in 1935 as part of the United States Work Progress Administration created under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal program. The Federal Writers' Project provided employment opportunities for historians, teachers, writers, librarians, and other white-collar workers. Initially the project produced guidebooks entitled American Guide on several regions of the country with an emphasis on the the country's scenic, historical, cultural, and economic resources. The Illinois Writers' Project, the state office for the Federal Writers' Project, produced state-wide guidebooks as well as regional publications which included work by Richard Wright, Saul Bellow, Margaret Walker, and Louis "Studs" Terkel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photographs contained in this collection include images of farm life in southern Illinois, Chicago architecture, Greek-American life in Chicago's Greektown, and historic buildings and architecture throughout the state. Photographer Nick John Matsoukas' images are featured in this collection and appear with their original photo captions.</text>
