    1. [NYOSWEGO] The Wooden Whistle Club/The Arion Jolly Bunch

    3. The Wooden Whistle Club/The Arian Jolly Bunch In 1906 my great grandfather painted two glasses for my great grandmother, they would be married three years later. The first glass commemorates a meeting of the Wooden Whistle Club at Three Rivers. It reads "Wouldn't that make you Hungry?" and "Everybody Happy." It is dated August 29th 1906. The second glass commemorates the meeting of the Arion Jolly Bunch on February 21 1906. My grandmother remembers hearing of these clubs and thinks they were social, drinking or singing clubs. She said they were for the adults and mentioned that they might have worn bowlers and straw hats. She never knew much about the clubs. I have several photos from this era and I am attempting to identify the people in the photos, some of whom I am related to. Some of the photos include people wearing funny hats. I have scanned some of the photos and have put them on this web site: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/s/c/h/Eric-Schultz-dc/ The web page contains several unidentified family photos, but the photos that might be the Wooden Whistle Club I have identified with AAAA's. I have also I have posted some very old photos I would like help dating. I think three of them are quite old may be from the 1860's through 1890's and could be daguerreotypes, these also have AAAA's. Most of my ancestors in NY were farmers, but the people in the daguerreotypes appear to be fairly well off. The photos are in gilded box frames and they are in are beautiful. I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who knows anything about these clubs or the photos. Thanks, Eric
