Phineas J. Willey (1827-1907), a shoemaker in Portland, played E flat bass in Chandler's Band. His daughter, Anna C. Willey, a music teacher, presented the photo to William E. Chandler in April 1908.
Chandler's father, Daniel H. Chandler, was the longtime leader of the band, a position William Chandler also held before forming his own bands.
