This brief history of the Noss Family Band is a tribute to a family enterprise that is particularly endearing to me. Since hearing about this band several years ago, I have been fascinated with their energy and endurance that spanned 45 years from 1880 to 1925. Their music and comedy was af a more innocent time. I am greatly indebted to Robert Capo of New Brighton for most of the information and pictures included here.--CWTownsend
