"violin-mandolin."
Doolittle lot his sight w hen but 19
years of age through a scrofulous
affection. Despondent as a conse
quence of the lss of his sight, he
tried to forget his misfortune through
absorption in his violin, an instru
ment which he already played well.
In course of time Thomas became
an expert violinist, and in order to
capitalize his ability he decided to
tour the rural district giving one and
two-night concerts in country school-
houses and churches.
This idea proved very popular in
the rural communities, where good
music was not heard often. Doolittle
continued these concerts for many
years. In this time he plaved in near
ly every county in West Virginia, fol
lowing a regular circuit. In giving
thse concerts he acquired a reputa
tion as a musician that has withstood
the years.
Doolittle Was Carpenter.
Trior to the loss of his sight Doo
little had been a carpenter, and he
still kept trying to "make things"
with soft wood and a penknife. He
found this interesting and it was not
long until he attempted work that
reauired other tools,

more interested in this work he
again saw possibilities ahead and de
cided to try really difficult work.
One of the first sincere efiorts he
made to accomplish something worth
while was put into the making of a
hope chest. The result was highly
satisfactory and there came soon
afterward a dresser, piano bench,
chiffonier and library table. All these
were well done, but his interest was
not in that class of work, and he ac
cordingly turned to the manufacture
of musical instruments. '
His first attempt in this line was
a violin: not such a good one, but it
would play. The second was better,
as was each succeeding one. In all
Doolittle has made lUl violins, 58
guitars. 38 mandolins, one ukulele,
seven bass viols, five dulcimers and
three violin-mandolins.
The 97th and last violins are still
in his possession, the former being
considered one of the best, he has
ever made. This violin is one of ex
ceptional tone, and it has been said
by experts that the volume it far
beyond the range of- all ordinary
violins. All his later instruments are
noted for the sweet, mellow notes
which their maker brought out.
Quits Instrument Making.
Doolittle has not made any in
struments for several months and
declares that he may never make
another one. He is more content
now to remain at home with his two
sisters, with whom he lives, and pot
ter aroimd in his little shop on odd
jobs brought him by friends and
neighbors. A great deal of his time
is also taken tip by repair work.
Musical instruments from all over
the -state are' sent to him for repair
and he makes them as good as new.
- Lose- of sight -has .only . served , to
increase the -kitYdlines of.' this man,
and, if possible, make him more ap
preciative bV the more beautiful
things in life''' He has a kindly, hu
morous spirit that endears him at
once to new friends and old.
Never marVied, Doolittle gives his
affection to his beloved instruments
and to the two sweet little old ladies,
his sisters, who care for his wants.
There is no hardness in Thomas'
life only pleasantness and ; cheer.
Possibly this is because he. in his
many years before the public, sent
his music deep into so many hearts
and left it there, a .'oiteiiing, mel
lowing influence, and the echo is
now repeating itself in his own life,
softer, sweeter, grander than before.
