Popular Christmas song author found in Ohio town
An article recounts how the familiar Up on the Housetop, written in 1864, was long misattributed. Benjamin R. Hanby, born 1833 in Rushville, Ohio, wrote the tune and many hymns. He studied at Otterbein, served briefly as a minister, opened a singing school, and later joined a Chicago publishing house. The song’s authorship was restored after decades of confusion, placing Hanby beside Stephen Foster as a regionally influential songwriter.
