The Clodhopper Brass Band practiced at "48" school house and met at Cedar Ridge.
They had a large wagon drawn by four horses to carry their players and instruments. They had a big flag for the wagon and all their horses were decorated with flags. All the horses and buggies going with the band were likewise decorated. This band played for all the Fourth of July picnics and celebrations in Scott's grove. Members of the Band were Charles Lewis, E. A. Lewis, Charles Kimmal, Will Kimmal, Thong Simpson, Otis Simpson, Alfred Day, Victor Day, Lute Day, Will Lewis, Grant Hodds, and Ben Bartlett. Leader was George Jewell. Drivers were A. J. Kelly and Henry Stout. There was a good band later but there is no data for that Band
