One I regret not buying Odeboldt, Iowa brass band

Odeboldt Iowa band

One of the regrets I have is I didn't purchase this photo when I first saw it in a Spirit Lake, Iowa antique mall.  It cost more than I wanted to spend, so I passed it by.  Now I wish I had purchased it.  I need to find a bit more about this photo.

Rescue Photo: More from the Art Asylum the De Voogt family McLean County, Illinois

De Voogt family of Lexington, McLean County, Illinois Born in Holland, immigration date about 1874

This photo was rescued from the Art Asylum in Houston, Texas.  It was sitting among the many bins of unidentified photos.  I'm still working on identifying the photo, but I believe  this family is the Jacob De Voogt and wife Cornelia of Hudson, McLean County, Illinois. In 1880 Jacob and Cornelia De Voogt only have one son Joseph DeVoogt,  This photo looks to be taken in the 1890's in Lexington, Illinois.  The back of the photo looks to say J. M. De Voogt.  The man and wife look to be between 40-50 in this photo, so that would put a birth date for Jacob around 1850 give or take a few years.
