Misc. Notes
From Beatrice Dunbrack Hohorst to Hazel F Wilkins, 26 Oct 1976:
“Did your father ever tell you about their Sunday evenings of music ? Aunt Sade played the bass viol, my father [Francis Parker Dunbrack] played the violin, Aunt Al played the piano, and your father and Uncle Warren played several wind instruments. My father sang Bass, your father and Uncle Warren tenor, and Aunt Al, alto, and Aunt Sade and Grandma [Janet Parker Dunbrack] soprano. They really did enjoy their music. My father always sang in church.”
