United Singers.
Chicagoer Arbeiter Zeitung, Sep. 20, 1888
Delegates of nine German singing societies met last night in Pfaff's saloon to discuss the program for the November 11th memorial celebration in Waldheim.
The report ends with the last lines of the song selected, with the title: "On the grave of our friends."
"Rest then you beloved brothers,
Rest quietly in the dark of the graves,
Praising you are our songs
You fulfilled your work,
Rest quietly in the dark of the grave"-
