Rufus Norton Grisham (reprise)

In June 2020, I posted a short piece on singer/songwriter Rufus Norton Grisham. Since that time, I have located a newspaper obituary of Grisham.

The Daily (Mississippi Coast) Herald, Saturday, September 26, 1936, page 1

Also here is a list of the songbooks with which I know he was involved in publishing:

• Songs of Heaven: a Collection of the very Best Songs to be found, for Church, Sunday School, Revival, the Singing Conventions, and all Religious Gatherings, Greenville, SC: R. N. Grisham, circa 1924
