Irene Cozad was born in Lineville, Iowa, but came to prominence in the Kansas City area. She reportedly played piano with the Kansas Symphony and prior to the publication of her two rags was listed in the city directory as a music teacher. While Cozad married J. Whitman Sherer, M.D., in 1912, her compositions did not entirely stop. A few songs appeared up through 1920, including Kansas City Town which won her a $100.00 prize in a contest sponsored by the Million Population Club. She spent later years living with her children in the house the family had owned for a number of decades, even as recently as 1988.
