I am looking for info on my Granduncle Charles Mann Dawson (1889-1962), b. near Topeka, Kansas, d. in Reno, Nevada He was a Violinist and runaway who toured the United States at least eight times annually at a young age, when he was reunited with his Dawson Family in Topeka in 1915. He trained in a musical course in Salt Lake City for three years, and also handled the big pipe organ of the Tabernacle in Salt Lake. He also toured Japan, Alaska and Canada, and elsewhere. He was a Bandmaster on a Japanese-American Steamer at the age of 14. Since he was a successful musician, I thought for sure there would be some sort of biography for him, perhaps in Utah, where he was trained. I was wondering if there was some sort of Mormon connection as well.
Any help would be great,
Brian
