Norway's first band was composed of nine of its earliest settlers--Joseph Melhus, Adolph Larson, Charles Hugos, Frank Dickerhoof (1852-1942), Peter Hammer, E. Vollen, John Hugos, Iver Tiller, and Gust Nelson.  (Frank Dickerhoof was the snare drummer.  When he was a boy of eleven and twelve, he played the drum and sometimes the fife for the militia drilling in the village street during Civil War Days in Illinois.
