The first officers were: Henry Heinz, president; Carl Huettig, vice president; Otto Frank, secretary; John A. Kleinfelder, treasurer; Professor Ferdinand Grade, director. Charles Lang, Ferdinand Bernhardt and Barney Juettner were passive members. October 12, 1886, this society was transformed into a "mixed choir," about ten young ladies joining at that time. This society proved to be a popular enterprise and gave a number of successful public concerts at various times. The last and final meeting of the "Harmonic," as gleaned from the records, was held October 6, 1887, when the society dissolved.
