Summary
[edit]DescriptionFrederick J. Piper (49972861492).jpg |
English: Fred J. Piper, the phenomenal baritone of John W. Isham's show 'Octoroons,' widely known both here and abroad, passed away at his home in Baltimore, Maryland on Monday evening, February 21st. He had not been well, and his manager sent him home to take a much needed rest. He was home only a few days when the end came. Mr. Piper was the best known singer of his race, and there is deep mourning among all the colored clubs, his friends and acquaintances. He was married but four months, and leaves a lovely young wife, who is a school teacher in Baltimore. Mr. Piper was thirty-six years of age. He was buried in his hometown in Baltimore, February 24th. The entire company attended the funeral. John W. Isham, Will H. Isham, and Charles H. Plummer were in attendance besides many friends of the deceased from New York and other cities. Many beautiful flowers were sent. Handsome wreaths, harps, etc., were given by Mr. Isham, his brother, Mr. Plummer, and Madame Flower (aka the Bronze Melba, who he performed many duets). The company also sent flowers. At the grave, "The Palms" and "Nearer, My God, to Thee," were sung.
