D. W. CRIST

Daniel Webster Crist (1857-1929) was born in New Chambersburg, Ohio. His family was not wealthy and he worked as a farmer to attend Ohio Northern University. He was a natural talent and had only little formal musical training. He decided to publish his own music and invested all his resources to become a successful composer and music publisher, publishing a number of volumes of music for singing schools, Sunday schools and churches. He taught music privately and in many Ohio schools in Columbiana and Stark counties. He became superintendent of the Osnaburg grade school and was superintendent at New Franklin. In New Alexander he also served as a church music director and Sunday school superintendent. In 1901, he was elected to the Ohio state legislature and became a state senator in 1905. He later moved to Alliance, Ohio, to become president of the Peoples Bank of Alliance. He died in Alliance.
