Valeria A. Foster

Arranger of "HANDS ON ME" in African American Heritage Hymnal

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "I Know the Lord's Laid His Hands on Me" in Rodeheaver Collection for Male Voices In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Edward Boatner

1898 - 1981 Harmonizer of "I KNOW THE LORD" in Psalter Hymnal (Gray)
