found: Wikipedia, 24 March 2020(Stoddard King (August 19, 1889--June 13, 1933) was an American author and songwriter. Born in Jackson, Wisconsin. At a young age, King and his family moved to Spokane, Washington, where his father acted as a freight agent for the Spokane International Railway. In 1907, King began to work for The Spokesman-Review. While attending Yale, King was an editor of the Yale Record. During his time at Yale, King also helped write the song "There's a Long Long Trail A-Winding." The song ended up being one of King's best-known works and even became a World War I anthem. Although known for many things, King still preferred to be recognized as a columnist for The Spokesman-Review. He eventually returned to Spokane, where he died on June 13, 1933 at forty-three years of age.)
