In the spirit of the Grammys and Valentine’s Day

This photograph from the 1940s shows a musical group known as the Harmony Five. Information provided with the photograph says the group was from the Millsboro area but does not indicate whether the men were associated with the Harmony Methodist Church, also located in the Millsboro area.

The Harold W.T. Purnell Collection is an assembly of more than 14,000 photographs housed at the Delaware Public Archives in Dover.  Purnell was a merchant, civic leader and state senator who lived in Georgetown.  He collected historic photos and other history materials throughout his life. 

His son donated the collection to the archives in 1978 where it is available for viewing by the public.
