Fred Fetterly, Military musician, Idaho late 1800s
I think this book likely talks of Idaho TERRITORY before it became Idaho STATE in 1890.
Taken from "History of Idaho, The Gem of the Mountains," James H. Hawley, Editor; Volume I; Illustrated; Chicago, The S. J. Clarke Publishing Company; 1920; Pages 566-574:

Who was the musician Fred Fetterly in Idaho in the last quarter of the 19th century ? And what instrument did he play (I am guessing the bugle) ? Is he related to anyone posting here - maybe a "missing sibling" in the jigsaw puzzle ?
