Sheet music for A. Riddle’s ‘In Memoriam, Nearer My God to Thee,’ one page on a cardstock sheet, published in 1912 by A. Addy Music Printer. Sheet features a quote from a survivor, Miss Bonnell (of Ohio) at the conclusion, reading, in full: “As the boats were lowered into the sea the ship’s band assembled at the stern on the first cabin deck and played ‘Nearer, my God, to Thee’ as the vessel settled in the water. By the time the lifeboats were far away, out of danger and the suction of the ship, we could hear the faint strains of the beautiful music on the air.” RRAuction COA.
