Charlotte Blake (1885-1979)

Overview

According to the Internet source given below, Charlotte Blake was an American composer of popular music. She lived in Detroit with her parents and was a staff writer with Jerome H. Remick, proprietor of the Whitney Warner Publishing Co. She composed some 35 titles for Remick, her most popular work being Dainty Dames (1905). After 1919 Charlotte Blake apparently abandoned her composing career but continued living with her family in the Detroit area at least through the early 1930s and apparently never married. Eventually she moved to Santa Monica, California where she died aged 94.
