The Pfaffle brothers Charles and William formed the original Pfaffle Bros Harp Orchestra in 1891, starting with two fiddles and a double action Brown harp.

The group grew through engagements, including 24 shows yearly at the Storm Lake Casino, and Peters Bros. of Remsen later joined before Bill Pfaffle discontinued the harp ensemble.
