A shepherd kind and true

Author: Arthur G. Brooks

Arthur G. Brooks was born December 23rd, 1883, in Dardanelle, Arkansas. By 1910 he moved with his family to a farm near Wewoka, Oklahoma, but was back in Arkansas by 1913 when he filed his first copyright, the song "Come unto me." In his 1917 draft registration his occupation is described as "poet or songwriter," and the 1920 U.S. Census listed him as a "music teacher." In 1932 he filed copyright on the song "Roosevelt is the man" while living again in Wewoka, Oklahoma. He passed away in Holdenville, Oklahoma in 1938. https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/details/LTFK-TBF Go to person page >
