Stephen Foster song
Merle Alcock was born Merle Tillotson on February 6, 1884, in Andover, Missouri. Her parents were the Reverend Elijah Tillotson and his wife Zulina "Zula" Hannah Hiner.
Some Columbia labels identify the contralto as Merle Tillotson (her name at birth), but the Edison and Victor companies used the name Merle Alcock.
She started her singing career in churches. In 1909 she had her first recording session--it was for Columbia.
She had a rich contralto voice.
Her records sold moderately well, and her voice was often heard in radio programs.
For many years she was a professional singing teacher, and Eileen Farrell (a great singer born after Alcock’s generation) was one of Alcock’s students.
Alcock moved to Phoenix in 1963.
She died in her Phoenix home on March 1, 1975.
She is buried in Wooster Cemetery in Wooster, Ohio.
