# Marianne Willmann

Marianne Willmann (née Anna Maria Antonetta de Tribolet; 17 February 1768 – 21 April 1813) was a German operatic soprano. She was one of a family of musicians.

## Life

Marianne was born in Paderborn in 1768, the daughter of a professor of French at the University of Bonn. She did not belong to the Court music of Bonn, but sang in the opera, her first recorded appearance being in November 1790.
She married in 1793 Ignaz Willmann (1739–1815), a musician, who played flute, violin and cello. She was his second wife, becoming stepmother to Maximilian, Walburga and Magdalena Willmann. Their daughter Caroline, an opera singer, was born in 1796.
Marianne accompanied Ignaz and Magdalena to Venice in 1793; she sang in Graz the next year, and in 1795 made her first appearance in Vienna, in Ignaz Umlauf's Die Schöne Schusterin, and "greatly pleased". In Hamburg (20 September to 4 October 1801) she sang to crowded houses, departing from the city, wrote the correspondent of the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung, "delighted with her extraordinary reception and emoluments."
In 1803 she sang at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna, and in July 1804 in Munich. She was next engaged for the Opera in Kassel. Upon the organisation of Jérôme Bonaparte's French Theatre there, she retired for a time, and sang only in concerts, including a concert for Ferdinand Ries in January 1811. In October and November of that year she was again in Munich, where she was a favourite, and returned to Munich in March 1812 to take part in a concert.
Marianne died in 1813 in Klosterneuburg. The correspondent of a Leipzig journal summed up her qualities thus: "A splendid execution, an imposing voice, practised skill and science in singing, distinguish her most favourably above many celebrities."

# Marie Adams

Marie Adams (born Ollie Marie Givens, October 19, 1925 – February 23, 1998) was an American gospel and R&B singer, who became popular in the 1950s particularly for her work with Johnny Otis.

## Biography

She was born in Linden, Texas, and sang in gospel groups in her youth. After marrying, she began performing in Houston as Ollie Marie Adams, later dropping her first name. She made her first recordings for Don Robey's Peacock Records with Bill Harvey's band. Her single "I'm Gonna Play the Honky Tonks" coupled with "My Search Is Over", with the writing of both songs credited to Robey, reached number 3 on the Billboard R&B chart in mid-1952, becoming the most successful record on Peacock at that point. In all, she released seven singles on Peacock, including a cover version of her label-mate Johnny Ace's "My Song".
Adams toured widely in the early 1950s on shows featuring Johnny Ace, Jimmy Forrest, B.B. King, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, and Lloyd Price. In 1953, she joined the Johnny Otis band as a featured singer, and moved to Los Angeles. After Johnny Ace's death, she recorded the tribute song, "In Memory", which was regularly played by radio DJ Alan Freed but failed to chart. She toured with Johnny Otis through much of the 1950s, and became a popular live performer, being known as "TV Mama" in recognition of her "wide screen" girth. As a mainstay of the Johnny Otis Revue, she recruited sisters Sadie and Francine McKinley to form The Three Tons of Joy, considered "an appropriate name as the three women weighed around 800 pounds together."
In 1957, Johnny Otis signed to Capitol Records. The label released four singles in Otis' name simultaneously, including "Ma! He's Making Eyes at Me". This was overdubbed with audience reaction noises, and was credited to Johnny Otis and his Orchestra, with Marie Adams and The Three Tons of Joy. Although the record did not make the charts in the US, it was released in the UK and rose to number 2 on the UK Singles Chart in early 1958. To follow up its success, Adams and Otis recorded a duet, "Bye Bye Baby", which reached number 20 in Britain. However, other recordings by Adams with Otis, including their version of "What Do You Want to Make Those Eyes at Me For?" (covered in Britain by Emile Ford and the Checkmates) were less commercially successful, and in early 1960 Adams and the Three Tons of Joy left the Johnny Otis Show.
Marie Adams and the Three Tons of Joy continued to work in and around Los Angeles, and Adams recorded for several small labels in the early 1960s. In 1972, she returned to work with Johnny Otis, and toured in Britain for the first time. She continued performing with Johnny Otis for much of the 1970s before retiring.
She died in Houston in 1998, aged 72.

# Mariano Favazza

Mariano V. Favazza (20 December 1952) is the former Circuit Court Clerk of the Missouri Circuit Court, Twenty Second Judicial Circuit, City of St. Louis.

## Education

Favazza graduated from Saint Louis University School of Law, cum laude.

## Time as Circuit Clerk

He was elected to the position in 1998. During his tenure, he has updated the Circuit Clerk's office to bring it more up to date. He fought to have public court records displayed online.
In 2009, Favazza has helped end attempted legislation that would have made the office of the Circuit Clerk appointed, despite a vote by the people of the City of St. Louis to keep it an elected position. He has also filed a lawsuit against the Circuit Court Budget Committee in order to protect the powers provided the office by the Missouri Constitution. The Missouri Constitution provides that "[u]pon the expiration of the terms of office of the clerk of the circuit court for criminal causes of the city of St. Louis, and the term of the clerk of the St. Louis court of criminal correction, the offices of such clerks shall cease to exist and thereafter the clerk of the circuit court of the city of St. Louis shall have the powers and perform the duties and functions of such clerks and shall serve all divisions of the circuit court, except the courts presided over by an associate circuit judge, the judge of the probate division of the circuit court and by municipal judges." The Circuit Court Budget Committee has attempted to give that power to the presiding judge. Both Favazza and the judges have appealed the decision of the trial court. The appeal is currently pending.
In August 2010, Favazza lost the seat to Jane Schweitzer. Favazza ended his time in the Circuit Clerks position saving the city millions of dollars and creating many programs to make St. Louis safer.

## After politics

Favazza is currently working as a lawyer in St. Louis.

# St. Mark's Episcopal Church (West Orange, New Jersey)

St. Mark's Episcopal Church is a historic church located at 13 Main Street at Valley Road in West Orange, Essex County, New Jersey, United States. After the Episcopal congregation dwindled, the building subsequently housed the Primera Iglesia Evangelica Metodista Libra de los Oranges, a Methodist congregation. The building's interior was destroyed, and exterior badly damaged, by fire on January 1, 2016.
The church was called an "outstanding example of Gothic Revival architecture" by Preservation New Jersey, and was listed as one of the ten most endangered historic sites in New Jersey in 1996. It has been said that the building "represents the beginning and the end of the ecclesiological style in the United States." The Ecclesiological style movement in church architecture advocated Gothic revival architecture using theological arguments.

## History

The original Episcopal congregation was founded in 1828 as an offshoot of Trinity Parish in Newark. Within a few decades it had become the largest and wealthiest Episcopal congregation in and around "The Oranges" of New Jersey.
Work on the brownstone main church began in 1828. An addition completed in 1860–1861, including the steeple, is attributed to architect Richard Upjohn.
St. Mark's ran the first elementary school in West Orange beginning in 1865. This school building was destroyed by fire in 1926. It also ran the first high school in West Orange, which graduated a class of nine students in 1893. A new high school building was opened in 1898, which was destroyed by fire on February 27, 1913.
The parish prospered until the 1960s, when declining attendance led to mounting financial hardships. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, but the church and its adjacent cemetery fell into disrepair. In 2004, the Episcopal Diocese of Newark leased it to Lamb of God Fellowship, a Renewal congregation, for what was intended to be a long-term stay, but the Fellowship left in 2009 due to the high cost of maintaining the property. The cross atop the structure was shaken loose in the 2011 earthquake and fell to the ground. The Diocese sold the property to another religious organization in early 2015.
The church caught fire on January 1, 2016 around 5 a.m. (1000 UTC) and was ablaze for three hours. No injuries were reported in the historic church.
Update: January 1, 2017. The church currently in the construction phase of being fully restored by architects Zachary Gidich and David Sepulveda. [Zachary Gidich Architecture + Design]

# Edward Dalton

Edward Barry Dalton (September 21, 1834 – May 13, 1872) was an American physician who served in the American Civil War and created New York City's first ambulance service.
Dalton was born September 21, 1834, into a family of doctors in Lowell, Massachusetts. Upon graduating from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, he interned at Bellevue Hospital before joining the Union Army at the outbreak of the American Civil War. After having to briefly leave the army to recover from an illness—most likely malaria—he was tasked with overseeing the Army of the Potomac's field hospitals, which treated tens of thousands of ill and wounded soldiers.
After the war, Dalton became the superintendent of the newly formed Metropolitan Sanitary District in New York City, on the recommendation of Ulysses S. Grant who called him "the best man in the United States for this place." In that role, Dalton created a "Rapid Response" program to transport people suffering from cholera to hospital. An expanded system based on this program became the city's first ambulance brigade, transporting the sick and injured to Bellevue Hospital; the service was in operation by June 4, 1869. The initial ambulances were stagecoaches filled with "stretchers, a cabinet stocked with whiskey and bandages, a stomach pump for the poisoned and suicidal, and a straitjacket." The ambulances were put to extensive use during the Orange Riots.
Dalton had one child, who died in 1868; his wife died the next year. Dalton himself died in Santa Barbara, California in 1872. His brother published a written tribute that suggested "his renown would rest on his military service first and his efforts to arrest cholera second".
