J. W. Acuff

1864 - 1937 Arranger of "City of Light" in Gospel songs Born: January 4, 1864, Freestone County, Texas. Died: August 1, 1937, Georgetown, Texas. Buried: Odd Fellows Cemetery, Georgetown, Texas.

He wrote several popular Gospel songs, often led the singing for protracted meetings, and helped compile hymnals for the Firm Foundation Company of Austin. His career as a singer and song writer spanned nearly 50 years. http://www.hymntime.com/tch/bio/a/c/u/acuff_jw.htm

William D. Evridge

1873 - 1932 Person Name: W. D. Evridge Composer (harmonization) of "[When we meet in that bright city]" in Gospel songs The best-known song by William D. Evridge (1873-1932) was probably "For the soul that's redeemed," with text by James Rowe. This song was copyrighted in 1907, an entry that confirms his full name: William Daniel Evridge. (Copyright Catalog, 74) The Bartlett Tribune mentions Evridge frequently as a song leader for gospel meetings in the Churches of Christ. The data given in his wife's obituary (Friday, June 8, 1934, p.1) confirms that Evridge died in 1932, and that the Daniel Evridge buried in the Grainger, Texas cemetery is the same W. D. Evridge. Acuff and Evridge worked together on the first Firm Foundation hymnal, and returned for the New Ideal Gospel Hymn Book (1930), a major stepping stone toward a full-size hymnal. --drhamrick.blogspot.com/2012/01/
