	John Wyeth and Southern Folk Hymnody
		The publications of Ananias Davisson (1780-1857) have long been recognized for their role in transmitting the New England repertory, as well as folk hymns, to points further south.
		[39] Not only, then, was Davisson familiar with Wyeth’s tunebooks, not only did he borrow extensively from their repertory, but his very plan of providing two independent though mutually complementary tunebooks for different sectarian groups was essentially the same as Wyeth’s plan, and may have been inspired by it.
		Ananias Davisson brought out a new four-voiced setting in 1816, with an attribution to “Chapin”; this version was reprinted by Carden in 1820.

	Joseph Funk
		Joseph Funk was the best known of several publishers of sacred music residing in the Shenandoah Valley in the early nineteenth century.
		A year before Funk's Die Allgemein Nutzliche Choral-Music appeared, Rockingham County printer Ananias Davisson had issued a hymnal entitled Kentucky Harmony, which introduced to a southern audience a new musical notation called the "shape-note." This notation gave different shapes to notes of different pitch, making it possible for untrained singers to read the music.
		Davisson's successful hymnal inspired Joseph Funk, a Mennonite teacher and farmer of German descent who lived in the Rockingham County community of Mountain Valley (later Singer's Glen), to embark on his publishing endeavors.

	Shape note - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		But in the South, the shapes became well entrenched, and multiplied into a variety of traditions.
		Ananias Davisson's Kentucky Harmony is generally considered the first Southern shape-note tunebook.
		By the middle of the 19th century, the "fa so la" system of four syllables had acquired a major rival, namely the seven-syllable "do re mi" system.

	Shape-Note Singing in the Shenandoah Valley>
		It is interesting to compare the careers of these two men, almost exact contemporaries, Davisson and Funk, whose graves I visited today—the former near the battlefield at Cross Keys, the latter on a hillside in the village where we are gathered today.
		Davisson was typical of early American singing-masters—he taught and published music as a young man, and used the profits and experience to get a start in another business or trade.
		Joseph Funk, on the other hand, did not hit his stride as a music publisher until a relatively advanced age, but, through his own personality, and his careful training of his numerous and talented sons and grandsons, he was able to ensure the success of his work even after his death.
