In the past I started a list of historical
markers about or that somehow refer to Sacred Harp. I don’t think I’ve ever posted any
of that information. This one is located on the Courthouse lawn, Double Springs,
Winston County, Alabama. It was erected in 1944.
To the Memory of the Brothers
SEABORN M. DENSON and THOMAS J. DENSON
(1863 — 1935) (1854 — 1936)
Who Devoted Their Lives and Gifts to Composing
And Teaching, over Most of the Southland,
“THE SACRED HARP”

I was at that convention, but was only about 18 months old. There were lots of Denson’s present for the dedication of the monument for the Denson brothers. I have lots of photos taken during the weekend
