Robert Morrison Stults

Robert Morrison Stults was an American composer of popular music in the late 19th century and early 20th century. His most popular work, The Sweetest Story Ever Told, was published in 1892 and was still popular into the 20th century.

According to the Morrison family history, he was the son of Jacob Stults and Martha-Jane Morrison. The first of five children, he was born on June 1, 1861 in Hightstown, N.J.. He was married to Julia Vandermeer.

Prior to 1910, Stults mostly wrote popular music, but after 1910, he wrote more sacred and bigger works.

He also used aliases for some of his works, such as the name "Norwood Dale" to write the musical "The Cross Patch Fairies".

He also wrote three ragtime tunes, Smoky Sam (1898), Walkin' on de Rainbow Road (1899), and A Moonlight Meander (1900), under the name S. M. Roberts (a play on his name Robert M. Stults). The giveaway that these are his is that the last one, "A Moonlight Meander", was copyrighted by his wife, J. V. Stults, who often copyrighted his music.

At his death on March 24, 1933, he, along with Louis M. Bennet, was the publisher of the Long Branch [N.J.] Daily Record.
