15874The Country Strummers
  • Reference
  • Organizations
"The Country Strummers began their musical career back in 1964. Ralph Stanley and Fred Black were invited to join a group of musicians and singers that were entertaining at the [Knights of Pythias] Lodge Hall in Bernard. This was a program sponsored by the lodge that included dancing, singing and an all round evening of good local talent. This inspired Fred and Ralph to stick with their music and they began a schedule of practice each week, their practice sessions were held on Saturday night. In 1966 Floyd Farley joined Ralph and Fred. Floyd being very talented with any string instrument soon became a real asset to the group. These three musicians kept quite busy playing for local functions, traveling to many of our nursing homes, senior citizens homes and many wedding and anniversary parties.

15048US Life-Saving Service
  • Reference
  • Organizations
In 1878 the network of life saving stations were formally organized as a separate agency of the Treasury Department and was named the Life-Saving Service. The US Life-Saving Service grew out of a network of coast watching stations established to provide assistance and shore rescue to disabled ships in the mid-19th century, but did not become formally established until 1871, when it came under the direction of Sumner Increase Kimball (1834-1923) of Lebanon, Maine. Kimball reorganized the service, built many new stations with up-to-date equipment, established rigorous training and certification programs for stationmasters and surfmen, and set high standards for the Life-Saving Service. He continued to serve as the Director of the U.S. Life-Saving Service until it was absorbed by the U.S. Coast Guard in 1915.
