Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text. Text Any textual data included in the document [Partial transcript] At the age of 11 years, Leonore began writing songs. At the age of 12, her father died. Her mother and younger sister, Alma decided to move to Los Angeles, California. She attended Pomona High School in Pomona, California. Two of her 1912 compositions in 1912 were published. "In The Twilight" and the "Glenwood Waltzes" were the first of her thousands of songs written and recorded by her. She also was a concert singer in her teens. She directed an orchestra when she was 12 and at 13 was sent to 13 different publishers with 13 copies of songs she had written. She sold the song to the first bidder although there were several other offers. Leonore attended Mills College in San Francisco where she surprised her instructor with her three range voice from contralto to soprano. In 1920, under a new stage name of "Vaughn DeLeath", she tried to conceal her familys [sic] German roots which may have been prudent just after the Great World War.

Title A name given to the resource Vaughn De Leath Pamphlet Subject The topic of the resource Vaughn De Leath Vaughn DeLeath Female singers Music -- 1930s Singers -- Illinois Mt. Pulaski Township Museum Description An account of the resource This is a pamphlet produced by Mt. Pulaski Township Museum that details Vaughn De Leath's biography and legacy. I received it through email from "Mary Ann" along with a litany of other photographs. When archives are not fully digitized, these imperfect, piecemeal ways are the only path to accessing certain materials. Mary Ann didn't include the remaining pages of the pamphlet, so I do not have them. Mindful of how much I am asking her to do for free and for a stranger, I refrained from pestering her to take more or better photos.<br /><br />Compare this pamphlet to the liner notes elsewhere in the collection. It is much more personal and emphasizes De Leath's connection to the town of Mt. Pulaski, Illinois, which only gets mentioned in the liner notes as her birthplace before she moved on to bigger and better things in California and New York. But it is this tiny midwestern town that is most desperate to preserve her career and personality. She was an endearing child inspired by the local Opera House. She was a talented song-writer, ambitious and determined to get her work published and acknowledged. She changes her <em>own </em>name (rather than has it changed for her) to further her career. This is <em>our</em> girl, the town seems to be saying. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mt.
