Calliopean Society

Found several oversize pictures that were mis-filed and never cataloged into our photo collection last week.  One picture is of an organization that I had never heard of, the Calliopean Society, which I thought would be a musical organization, but is actually a literary and debating organization.


Calliopean Society
As they appeared in the "Lady of Lyons" for the benefit of St. Joseph Church, June 10, 1887
Back row: Miss Nettie Baker; Maurice McKenna; Ed McLaughlin; ? or Tom Lyons; Dennis McKenna; unknown.
Front row: Nan McCready or Mrs. Duffy; John Fagan; Miss Waters; unknown; unknown.

Yes the timing is right that this could be a young Elizabeth Waters in the front and center of the picture. She would be about 23 in this picture.
