Scope and content
Members of the Tacoma Sangerbund (Saengerbund) pose with their group banner on June 2, 1929, in front of an imposing stone building. A sangerbund was a German singing society. The Tacoma Sangerbund was organized in 1890 and would celebrate its 40th anniversary in March of 1930. There were only two original members alive then and both, Erick Siburg of Tacoma and Hans Fraehmke of Auburn, were invited to the celebration. In 1930 there were 44 active and 125 associate members. The organization was headed by Henry Kloepper. (Tacoma Sunday Ledger, 3-16-30, A-11-article on association)
