All those initials

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.
