Though "Hide Me Rock Of Ages" is the most well known, he also wrote "I'm Going Home Some Morning", "Sailing on Life's Restless Ocean" and "Beyond The Blue". I have never heard these three, but would love to. Maybe one day I'll get lucky and find them somewhere.
He and his wife, Emma (Houston) George raised my daddy, Kenneth R. George, who was their grandson via their son W. Russell.
His parents were Levi Brantley George and Susie Mann. Levi died when Brantley was just an infant. He was raised by his paternal grandparents, William Riley George and Louisa T. Holly George. Susie remarried to Samuel Houston and had 7 other children.
He was called "Big Daddy" by his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
My daddy told me his true cause of death was simply grief, having lost his wife and one of his sons in a short period of time.
