Barnhouse comes to mind often. Barnhouse came to Iowa from West Virginia as a young adult in search of a successful music career. In 1890, he made Oskaloosa, Iowa his residence and formed the Knights of Pythias Brigade Band. A self-taught cornet player, Barnhouse and his band practiced their music and routines constantly, establishing themselves among the people of Oskaloosa and that of Iowa as an entertaining and serious band. When Barnhouse came to Iowa, he also created the Barnhouse Music Publishing Company, which emphasized printing and publicizing music created during the late 19th Century. This business was very successful and is still running today in Oskaloosa. Barnhouse died in 1929, leaving a musical legacy to the town of Oskaloosa Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource still image/jpeg 2000 Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context www.wmpenn.edu/library/about.html http://cdm16125.contentdm.oclc.org/u?/p270701coll6,229 Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Chuck Russell Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource www.wmpenn.edu/library/about.html Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Chuck Russell Subject The topic of the resource C.L.
