The Salzburger Museum was given to the Salzburger Society by Mr. John LeBey who was the son-in-law of Mrs. Pearl Rahn Gnann. It was given in memory of his wife who was Mrs. Gnann's daughter and in honor of Mrs. Gnann. The ladies' portraits hang in the museum along with a picture of Mrs. Amy Gnann LeBey (Mrs. Charles LeBey), another daughter of Mrs. Gnann. Miss Amy was the "backbone of the museum" until her death in recent years. I attended the dedication of the museum more than 25 years ago.
