Brown, Stephen Commodore Decatur
(September 12, 1849—December 24, 1935) was the son of Lewis Buchanan Brown and
Teresa Hale Wiggins. He married Selathia Mozetta Townsend "Townie"
Matthews (1860—1934) and they had eight children. Stephen and Townie are buried
in the Daleville City Cemetery in Dale County, Alabama. The mother of S. C. D.
Brown may have been related to W. M. Cooper's stepfather, Hopewell Wiggins. He
was not a composer, but served as the secretary of the original 12 member committee to
revise The Sacred Harp in 1902.
