My great-grandmother, Myra (LYNN) KUECHMANN, was one of the founding
members (1889) of the Matinee Musicale in Muncie. Her sister, Laura (LYNN)
KISER was also one of the original members, and her three daughters Mabelle
(KUECHMANN) SNIDER, Abbie (KUECHMANN) SURBER, and Kate (KUECHMANN) DENNEY
(my grandmother) were also active members for many years. I have a copy of
the "Members Book" from 1916-1917, which I will post in several parts since
it contains many names.
