A Once Madisonburg Boy,
Alfred Bierly, of Chicago, Ill, was a
caller in the DemocraTr sanctum, Friday |
last, He is in from the Windy City to
visit his native town of Madisonburg,
where he spent his boyhood years and
afterwards went west and pitched his
tent in Chicago, where he became the
| founder of a house for musical publica |
{tions which now ranks among the large |
| houses in that line in the country, Betog
| a scion of the noted musical family of |
Bierly's, he became the author as well as |
publisher of musical books and sheet |
music that found sale in all parts of the |
country. Mr, Bierly's establishment is}
now one of the important business |
houses of Chicago, and Madisonburg
may well feel proud of the distinction
gained by one of its sons. Among the |
early bands of this county was ono at
Madisonburg every member of which
was of the Bierly family—music seem:
ing to course the veins of all in the con.
nection, Mr, Blerly, of Milesburg, was
also a prominent teacher of vocal and
instrumental music,
