William B. Stevens was born in 1862 in the Lawnridge community of Scotland County, Missouri.  
All through his life, he suffered many hardships including his father being falsely arrested and serving some prison time during his teens. He became a minister of the gospel until death, dying a year after his wife in the early 1940s. All of their babies died before them, some as small children, one Waldo at 19, and a daughter who may have lived a little longer. This may have shaped the feelings expressed in this song. 
This arrangement is for 4 part male harmony (TTBB) a cappella.
