We speculate this is Howard Tyler Googins (1871–1934), buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery, Saco, Maine.
Much of Googins’ music appears in Maine collections, and Burton Winslow, who wrote the lyrics paired with Googins’ tune Guadalupe, was also from Maine. In addition, the 1919 copyright application for Googins’ arrangement of ’Tis the Star That’s Turned to Gold was submitted by Fannie Orne Perkins of Boothbay Harbor, Maine.
