"The Harmonie Singing Society was organized January 29, 1875, for the purpose of educating the people in vocal music and of giving concerts. Julius Hundhausen was the first president of the society; William C. Boering, vice-president; Rudolph Hirzel, secretary; Oscar T. Mertens, treasurer; Fritz Yalantin, librarian, and Theodor P. Stork, director. As a general thing, about four concerts have been given each year, from the proceeds of which a fine piano has been purchased. A fund is also provided by means of monthly dues, for the purpose of keeping up the musical library and to pay the director. The present officers are William C. Boeing, president; R. H. Hasenritter, vice-president; Charles Neuenhahn, secretary; Philipp Kuhn, treasurer; Charles Kimmel, librarian, and Theodor P. Stork, director. Prof. Stork has filled the office of director ever since the organization of the society, and under his instruction and leadership the " Harmonie" has developed into one of the finest musical societies in the State." ~ Genealogy Trails Gasconade County
