Historian says death inspired Dorothy of‘Oz’ BLOOMINGTON, 111. (AP) — The brave farm girl who was carried to Oz by a Kansas tornado may have been bom in the heartbreaking death of an infant in Illinois. Five-month-old Dorothy Gage died in 1898 as her uncle was writing “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” The trag edy inspired L. Frank Baum to name #his heroine Dorothy Gale and make her the ideal girl his family imagined the real Dorothy could have become, historian Sally Roesch Wagner be lieves. , “If someone dies in your family, the immediate use of that name is done in a very careful and respectful way,” Wagner said. Wagner has known about the real Dorothy for years, ever since the girl’s sister mentioned her during a discus sion of family history. But it was only during a recent trip to Illinois that Wagner was able to find Dorothy’s timeworn tombstone in the north-central Illinois city of Bloomington. Records at Evergreen Cemetery led Wagner to a tiny gray stone, its letters reduced to illegible grooves. The di rector of the McLean County Histori cal Society, Greg Koos, suggested an old genealogy trick: spread shaving cream on the stone and then wipe away the excess to reveal the letters. “I brought the squeegee down and there was 'Dorothy.’ It took on life then,” Wagner said. “She really was buried in Bloomington. There really was a Dorothy.” Dorothy was the niece of Baum’s wife, Maud Gage Baum. When the sickly child died, Maud Gage Baum traveled from Chicago to Bloomington for the funeral. Baum dedicated “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” to his wife when it was published in 1900. “He gave Maud her Dorothy in an immortal way,” said Wagner, who was in Illinois as a scholar-in-residence at Lincoln’s New Salem state historical site.,. j SPECIAL LIMITTED TIME OFFER I <3T fBSAf $fJ& I___ DELIVERS!

That variety includes three tubas, six composers and sev eral different types of music. Fuller and another visiting as sociate professor of music, Nicole Narboni, will perform a concert to night at Kimball Recital Hall. The free concert features Craig Fuller on tuba and Nicole Narboni on piano. For a successful recital, Fuller said, a partnership between per formers is essential. He and Narboni have been working to gether for a couple of years. Fuller teaches tuba majors two to three days a week, but primarily plays in the Omaha Symphony, he said. In tonight’s concert, which will start at 8, Fuller will play three sizes of tubas. The different tubas allow versatility in sounds and rep ertoire. A small tuba, in the key of F, is halfway between a tuba and bari tone, Fuller said. The middle and large tubas are both in the key of fct - Even Bach wasn’t originally written for piano.” Craig Fuller tuba player C. Fuller uses the largest tuba for orchestration and the deep sound, he said. Since the tuba was not invented until around 1850, it regularly bor rows music from other instruments, Fuller said. “If a new instrument came along, composers would recycle pieces,” Fuller said. “Even Bach wasn’t originally written for pi ano.” Tonight’s program will present a variety of music, including part of a tuba concerto and songs origi nally composed for singing, Fuller said. Pieces for solo tuba and other instruments will also be repre sented. The instruments play dif ferent roles in different pieces, he said. Fuller also plays a piece featur ing a solo tuba and three trom bones. Classical music from various eras will also appear in tonight’s concert. This variety shows versa tility and the range that a performer has, Fuller said. Fuller wants his students to hear him as a model and to raise their own standards. He also said he saw the concert as a demonstration of what the tuba’s job is in an orches tra. Fuller said he hoped people would see the tuba as more than an “oompa” instrument after the re cital. “I think people will be pleas antly surprised at how well it gets around in the hands of a performer, someone who’s dedicated their life to it,” he said.
