Trying to find what Hymnal this is

Fri, 06/04/2010 - 21:50 — ksargen

I have photocopies of pages from a hymnal, likely printed by the Eureka Publishing Co., around 1911 or so. The copyrights that appear on the few pages I have that have one are from 1911 and 1912.

Yes, I know, not a lot to go on. I have checked the Eureka hymnals here, and none of the songs I have, except for one, are listed in them. The one song listed has the lyricst but not the composer, so I need to see about trying to verify it is the same hymn and adding the composer info if it is. Who knew a little pile of photocopies from my grandmother would be so much trouble to track down?
