371 Granger A. Hollister was a third-generation Rochester lumberman. With his brother, George C. Hollister, he founded Hollister Brothers, later Hollister Lumber Company.

In 1886 he married "Belle" Watson, James Sibley Watson's older sister. After her death in 1903, in 1906 he married her sister, "Bess," who lived next door in a house jointly purchased with her mother, Caroline Manning Watson, who had died in 1900.

Granger A. Hollister was involved in the Rochester Gas & Electric and Rochester Railway & Light companies, was a director of the Rochester Savings Bank and one of the organizers of the Security Trust Company in Rochester, founded in 1892.

In a letter from 12/11/1892, Emily Sibley Watson requests that Granger Hollister give her servants their Christmas bonuses. In an undated letter from mid-January 1893, Elizabeth Sibley reports that "The Security Trust I hear is doing wonderfully well beyond all expectations."

As the youngest sibling in the family, Harriet was very close to her only sister, Elizabeth Sibley. The two visited back and forth quite frequently and wrote to each other often. Harriet's daughter Elizabeth (Libbie) became her Aunt Elizabeth's companion in later years. Generosity extended from the Rochester Sibleys to the North Adams Tinkers included gifts of clothing and other articles, as well as Western Union stock. Harriet Tyler died in Rochester, New York only a few months after the extended family returned home from their European and North African travels. According to her obituary, she was operated on for a tumor in her side, and died a few weeks later.

384 Hermann Dossenbach is widely considered to be the father of orchestral music in Rochester. He began his career as a student of violin with Henri Appy of Rochester. By the early 1890s he had started a dance orchestra, the Dossenbach Orchestra, which performed for special events. He also taught violin, and one of his students was Emily Sibley Watson's son by her first marriage, James G. Averell.

By 1900, the Dossenbach Orchestra grew large enough to present a series of concerts by subscription, supported by patrons including Margaret Durbin Harper Sibley, Emily Sibley Watson, and George Eastman, among others. In 1911, Rush Rhees, president of the University of Rochester, arranged for Dossenbach to take a study trip to Germany, with the plan of developing a more permanent Rochester Orchesta on his return. The first concert of the Rochester Orchestra was on November 18, 1912.

In 1913, Dossenbach opened a music school at 47 Prince Street. This school would eventually become the beginnings of what is now the University of Rochester's Eastman School of Music.

When Eastman Kodak founder George Eastman began to plan building the Eastman Theatre, he envisioned two orchestras, one to accompany silent movies, and the other a symphony orchestra. He offered Dossenbach the job of conducting the movie orchestra, which Dossenbach refused. The "new" Eastman Theatre Orchestra, now the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, was underwritten by core supporters of Dossenbach's original Rochester Orchestra.

In his later years, Dossenbach conducted the Rochester Park Band, a group originally organized by his brother Theodore. At his brother's premature death, Hermann Dossenbach took over the conductorship.
