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.,.

f
Musician hopes to show tuba’s range
By Emilt Wray
Staff Reporter
For Craig Fuller, variety is the
spice of life. 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.
