Ancient Fife Extant Tied to Revolutionary War Hero
A Bangor woman Emma Lovell Smith inherits a fife once played by a Revolutionary War ancestor. The instrument, linked to John Cheney, stayed in the Smith family for 70 years and will pass to James Russell Lowell, poet and diplomat, now serving with a national guard unit on the Mexican frontier. The fife remains shrill and clear, crafted from hard white wood with a brass tip, echoing Bunker Hill battle sounds.
