Notes
Title from typed paper attached to back of photoprint; also reads: "This male quartet was continuously active from 1905 to 1943. In the earlier years it made Chautauqua appearances, while the work locally was principally for Masonic bodies, although not wholly so. As first organized the personnel of the quartet consisted of Frank Farmer, 1st tenor, Llewelyn Jones, 2nd tenor, C. W. Kettering, 1st bass, and F. W. Carringer, 2nd bass. Farmer left the quartet in 1912 and his place was taken by Robert Edwards, while Jones and Kettering sang the entire time until the death of Jones in 1943 when work was discontinued. Meanwhile, John C. Kendel succeeded Carringer as 2nd bass. Note: the above information was secured from Frank Farmer, C. W. Kettering, and Miss Janet Griffith at whose home Llewelyn Jones lived and with whom she was intimately acquainted. May 1958." Stamped on paper: "The Musician's Society of Denver Centennial Project 1958-1959."; R7100287970
