Sylvester M. Lohman was born in Jefferson City on Sept. 19, 1897, and was the third oldest of four children in the family of Louis and Amelia Lohman. His family name was widely recognized in Cole County because of his father s successful mercantile interests and ownership of the Lohman Opera House, while his uncle, Charles W., left his impression when the town of Lohman was named in his honor.

CAMDEN Camden Opera House continues to welcome music lovers back inside with its SoundCheck series of small, safely distanced performances. On Friday, May 7, at 7:30 p.m., recording artist, composer, podcaster and author Gordon Thomas Ward will take the opera house stage.
Sales of advance-only tickets, $10 via camdenoperahouse.com and 236-3154, end 3:30 p.m. on show day. Seats for the hour-long concert will be assigned on a first come/first served basis.
Winter Harbor’s Gordon Thomas Ward tours as a solo performer with songs that dot the Folk Music, Euro Indie Music, DRT Global Adult Contemporary and 150 Country Airplay charts and more. His stylings have been influenced by the singer-songwriters of the late 1960s through the ‘70s, yet Gordon s songs occupy a space all their own, filled with honesty, emotion and, occasionally, personal politics.
