Necrology Index
Compiled by Paul Hahn
This column is an extract from the necrology file of the Gaylord Music Library, Washington University, available online at http://library.wustl.edu/units/music/necro/index.html. It comprises those names that are listed in the dictionaries and encyclopedias following the double bar (||); note that a few individuals appear in those works under a variant name, or under a group name. Variant information is given following the initial report of death without any attempt to resolve the conflict. Obituary notices are listed chronologically within each element of the entry.
I would like to thank my colleagues at Gaylord Music Library, Brad Short and Emily Heslop, who kept me supplied with a steady stream of obituaries. Thanks also to my wife, Rosemary Hahn, for more obituaries, and for proofreading.
Corrections or contributions to the Necrology may be addressed to the editor: Paul Hahn, Gaylord Music Library, Washington University, Campus Box 1061, One Brookings Drive, St. Louis, MO 63130-4899, or by e-mail: manynote@wustl.edu.
