|
Septimus Winner was born in Philadelphia, PA on 11 May 1827, and died of a heart attack at the age of 75 there on 22 November 1902. His parents were Joseph Eastburn Winner (1802-1878) and Mary Ann Hawthorne. They had seven children: Septimus, Julia, Margaret Ann, Sarah Jane, Joseph Eastburn, Anna Ross, and Sivori. His father's brother's name was William E. Winner. On November 25, 1847, Septimus married Hannah Jane Guyer. They had two children: Margeret F[rancis?]. Winner, and James Gibson Winner (born 15 Feb 1852). He published lyrics and music, besides using his own name, under the pseudonymns of Alice Hawthorne, Percy Guyer, Mark Mason, Marion Florence, Leon Dore, Apsley Street, and Paul Stenton. Septimus also had a book of poetry edited and published by William C. Claghorn in 1903, posthumously, called Cogitations of a Crank at Three Score Years and Ten. His most popular songs were How Sweet Are the Roses (1850) [but not published until 1853], I Set My Heart Upon a Flower (1854), What Is Home Without a Mother (1854), Listen to the Mocking Bird (1855), Abraham's Daughter; or, Raw Recruits (1861), Der Deitcher's Dog (1864), Ellie Rhee; or, Carry Me Back to Tennessee (1865), What Care I? (1866), Whispering Hope (1868), Ten Little Indians (1868), Come Where the Woodbine Twineth (1870), and Love One Lost Is Gone Forever (1870). His was especially popular for his ballads published under the pseudonym of Alice Hawthorne. He had a brother who was also a composer, named (after his father) Joseph Eastburn Winner (1837-1918) who published under the alias Eastburn. Of special interest is the book The Mocking Bird: The Life and Diary of Its Author, Sep. Winner by Charles Eugene Claghorn (Philadelphia, PA: The Magee Press, [March] 1937), xii + 64 pages. *NOTE: all sources are from online digital archives or publications of the original sheetmusic which are in the Public Domain.
