Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Tier two: a specialist hymnody bibliographic database drawing on primary hymnal printings directly, more authoritative for hymn publication history specifically than a general encyclopedia, though not independently peer reviewed scholarship. Cross checked against Wikipedia's own Farther Along article, which agrees on the 1911 Gospel Trumpet Company origin though the two differ on which individual most modern hymnals credit, a disagreement carried into the entity below rather than resolved.
