Alford, Janie
Janie Alford

At the age of eighteen, she went to work to support her family (her mother and sister). She was able to put her nephews through school by working as a medical secretary to a doctor. Janie never married and worked at this job for forty years. She grew up in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church but transferred to Moore Memorial Presbyterian Church, which later became Nashville's Westminster Presbyterian Church. She was a charter member there and started the church's library. She wrote poetry all of her life and at the suggestion of Hal Hopson, the Minister of Music at her church at the time, she was encouraged to write hymns. In 1979 she published a small collection entitled "NINE HYMNS FOR THE CHURCH YEAR." "Come, O Spirit, Dwell Among Us" was one of these hymns, and it appears as #329 in Hope's new hymnal WORSHIP & REJOICE (2001).
