  • The Life of Ida May Haigh: the "Child Vocalist of Golcar" (1907)
    7 I • • THE LIFE OF Ida ffiag l-laigf?, Tqe "Child Vocalist 0£ Golcar." BY J. GRIFFITHS. Head Master of the Knowl Bank School, Golca_r. HUDDERSFIELD. Advertiser Press Ltd., Page Street, and Queen Street South. 1907 . • .. • - LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS. PAGE. Ida May Haigh ... Frontispiece Ida's Home at Taylor Row 10 Kno,vl Bank Council School 19 Mr. F. Sandford ... 23 Providence Chapel and Sunday School 28 Ivlr. B. Collinson ... ... 30 Ida at I I years of age 49 Mr. W. H. Bowker 74 Mr. J. Griffiths ... 78 PREFACE. This little hook is intended to serve a three-fold purpose. We feel that Ida May Haigh, w bile here amongst her friends, exercised a sweet ennobling influence over them. It is hoped, in the first place, that this record of her life may, in the same way, if not in the same degree, stin1ulate the young, not only to utilize to the full their talents, but also to cultivate those Christian virtues for which Ida was remarkable. Secondly, it is hoped that the publication of the book will provide the means for the erection of a memorial. Thirdly, the volume itself too-conscious though we are of imperfections-will serve as a memento of her 1ife and work. Our endeavour throughout has been to give plain statements of facts, and to avoid any exaggerations. Those who have not been privileged to meet Ida and hear her sing 1nay feel that in many cases we are guilty of exaggeration. We are confident, however, that those who knew her intimately, and are therefore best qualified to judge, will agree that an honest attempt has been made to give an accurate delineation of the life and character of the young singer.
