PIONEER BAND LEADER DIES IN CALIFORNIA
James R. Dye Who Located at Nemaha City in 1887, and Was the Pioneer Violist, Musical Instructor, Music Dealer, Band leader of the Territory Passes Away, He Was a Man Who Radiated Sunshine
In the death of James R. Dye at his home at San Diego, California, May 22, there passed away a man who figured very prominently in the early history of Nebraska and Nemaha County, as the pioneer musical instrument dealer and instructor in music.
Mr. Dye more than a half century ago had a fame that extended up and down the Missouri river, from Westport to Omaha, and far inland as an accomplished musician. He was the organizer and leader of the famous Dye family band, composed of members of his own family, and which made Nemaha City prominent as a musical center in the beginning of things in this state.
James R. Dye was born at De Ruyter, New York, February 1834. He was received a finished musical education in his native state after which he moved to Wisconsin, and from there came to Nebraska 1857, locating at Nemaha City, where he lived for forty-five years.
Shortly after his arrival here he embarked in the business of merchandising musical instruments and it was through him that many pioneer homes in Nemaha county was furnished with the old-fashioned melodeon, and the struggling churches with their first organs, and aristocracy with their first piano-fortes, and the early day country bands with their first bass drums and brass horns, and the country dance musician with his fiddle.
Mr. Dye was an accomplished musician as was his brother, the late George Dye, and the members of their families formed a band which was noted in the early day for their musical culture and their proficiency as a family band. None of the early picnics social, political or patriotic gatherings were complete without the attendance and performance of this band, which had a profound cultural effect on the community life, not only of Nemaha County, but the whole of southeastern Nebraska.
Because of the prominence of the band, and the talents of James Dye, he became one of the best known men in the early days of the state. Because of his genial and happy nature, his friendship was enjoyed and he was extremely popular.
After the marriage of their daughters Mrs. E. M. Boyd and Mrs. E.C. Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. Dyes moved to San Diego, California, where they created a new home that was perfect temple of gracious hospitality for their old Nebraska friends and a show place for visitors from all parts of the world.
This was the famous "Dye Villa" with its wonderful arboreal decorations, its beautiful flowers and its aviary with a marvelous collection of singing birds. This beautiful home reflected in a most happy way the genus and versatility as well as the love of the
beautiful of James Dye.
Persons from Nemaha county who visited California would make it a point to drop in on the Dye's at their home and the register that was kept was almost like the roster of Nebraska.
Mr. Dye had been in poor health for some time. He is survived by his wife, Agnes B. Dye, and his daughter, Mrs. E. M. Boyd, of Auburn and Mrs. E. C. Mitchell of San Diego. Mrs. Boyd has been at San Diego for some time recuperating her health.
The passing of James R. Dye will cause sadness in the ranks of the pioneers, not only of Nemaha county, but of the entire southeastern part of the state. He was a man who radiated sunshine, and whose greatest happiness in life was to develop and devote all the talents that were in him to promoting the happiness and pleasure of others. He late brother, George Dye, for many years a loved and honored resident of Auburn, possessed the same characteristics.
