Etilmon J. Stark
Etilmon Justus Stark (May, 1867 — January 1, 1962) was a prolific ragtime composer and arranger, the eldest son of ragtime publisher John Stark. His best-known work includes the rag time pieces "Trombone Johnsen" (1902), "Billiken Rag" (1913), and "Gum Shoe" (1917), and the arrangements for the collection "Fifteen Standard High Class Rags" (1912) (better known as "The Red Back Book").
==Life and Family==
Stark was born in Gosport, Indiana〔 Note, however, that in the 1850 and 1860 Census that John Stark was actually living in Bean Blossom, Indiana, with his older brother Etilman J. Stark, so Etilmon may have been born there as well.〕 and he was known as "Till".〔Edward A. Berlin, "King of Ragtime: Scott Joplin and his Era," Oxford University Press, 1994.〕 While his birth date has been traditionally cited as 1868, he was actually born in May 1867.〔Etilmon's age in the August 1870 Census is 3, and his age in the June 1880 Census is 13, both suggesting the 1867 birth year.〕 E.J. Stark moved to Missouri with his family in his youth.〔The Stark family is shown living in Camden, Missouri in the 1870 Census〕 In 1885, his father, who previously had been a farmer and ice cream store proprietor, took the family to Sedalia, Missouri and opened a music store, John Stark and Son. John Stark later became a music publisher and made his fortune by publishing Scott Joplin's The Maple Leaf Rag. All of the Stark children, including sister Eleanor and brother William were talented musically. However, E.J. was the one who was able to achieve the greatest success. He died in Maplewood, Missouri.〔Bill Edwards, http://www.perfessorbill.com/comps/ejstark.shtml〕
