Subject: RE: Origins: 'Lorena' & 'Wildwood Flower' via Webster
Found my scan of the sheet music of "Lorena."
"Ballad Lorena by J. P. Webster, Chicago, Published by H. M. Higgins, 117 Randolph St. Entered according to Act of Congress aD 1857 by Higgins Bros. in the Clerks Office ... North. Dist. Ill."
The first page of the music states "Poetry by Rev. H. D. L. Webster, Music by J. P. Webster.
The six verses were posted with chords by Rex in 2001, thread 31209, and are in the DT.
