John Toone's Cello

I just wanted to check on Emma's possible burial location - did a google search for her name and death date and discovered a wonderful little blog built around learning more about John Toone and his cello. The cello was even featured in a recital this past summer in the Temple Square concert series being played by his descendant - Kayson Brown, a member of the BYU faculty for the cello.



I have always wondered what happened to the instrument. It is wonderful to know more about it, see pictures and even a video of it being played. This is a link the family definitely should check out. I'm just sorry I discovered it two months too late to attend the concert!!


Since I'm not sure of the etiquette and process for posting pictures from other blogs as incentives to follow the link and check it out - I will let you discover the images from the site yourself. I know I have photocopies of the stories of the cello in my records but the quality is just too poor to link here.
