Wikipedia's own dedicated article on the American gospel song Farther Along, distinct from its disambiguation page. States that the earliest known print edition is the 1911 Church of God hymnal Select Hymns for Christian Worship and General Gospel Service, published by the Gospel Trumpet Company of Anderson, Indiana, crediting the song only as "Arr. B. E. W.", and lists the competing later authorship claims plus a substantial list of secular and gospel recordings of the song from the 1970s onward.
