Obituary:

“Just after he had finished his final musical setting a composition for the last hymn written by Fanny Crosby, noted author of religious verse, who passed away recnetly, Dr. William Howard Doane, formerly of Cincinnati, died last night at the home of his daughter, Mrs. George W. Doane, 176 Charlton Avenue, South Orange, N.J. of lung trouble. The hymn which represented the final labors of the noted composers is entitled ‘At Evening Time It Shall Be Light.’ It is a splendid effort from the viewpoints of religious poetry and harmony.”
