lloyd chandler was my grandfather. he wrote the words and tune for the song a conversation with death also known as o death in the year 1916. the family had carl lyndle comfirm this.. and they received the copyright for this song in i think 2004.. but as far as i know they never received any money at for this song which made around twenty million dollars. my grandfather told us many times of how he came about writing this song and how it led his journeys as a travling preacher.
