National Normal Musical Institute

This one came from the Chicago History Museum and was taken August 1872 at the National Normal Musical Institute, University of Chicago.

F W Root, Cornelia Walker, P P Bliss, C A Havens, Carl Zerrahn, George F Root, Robert Goldbeck, James Gill(?), Henry Harding(?)
