Adaline Shepherd (1883 – 1950) was an American composer of piano pieces. Though she did not compose many pieces, the pieces she composed were popular. In her twenties, she composed three ragtime pieces: "Pickles and Peppers" (1906), "Wireless Rag" (1909), and "Live Wires Rag" (1910). Commemorating World War I, she also published "Victory" (1918). She married Frederick Sherman Olson in 1910, and thereafter used his last name as her own.
After her marriage, she retired from composition, and her compositions were unknown to her remaining family by the 1970s until they were contacted by reporters.

It's very plantation era cool. Adaline's dad is very rich and her suitors have lots of prospects. She writes in her diary every night and letters to her brother, Nathaniel, everyday. (He's fighting in the Civil War).

It sounds so graceful and pretty. Like a mix between Adelaide and Madeline.

The Underhill Society of America shows that this name has been in use since at least the 1810s, with this exact spelling. Ada was a popular name in the 1800s at #46 in the 1880s, and Ida at #7, so Adaline is the natural spelling, though Ada is also a nickname for the spelling Adeline. Adaline is considered American in origin. Ada means happy and noble in Europe, is used in the Bible and means "adornment."
