Roney helped over 10,000 wayward Chicago boys find the path to righteousness through rigorous practice of hymns. Based at 2358 S. Indiana, “Roney’s Boys” Concert Company of Chicago was an extremely popular boys choir that played across the country, from small towns to major cities, they even played at Teddy Roosevelt’s White House. For button collectors, in 1901, they were the first band known to promote themselves using buttons.”
