Aside from running his own publication company, he wrote manymarches andrags, such as theBees Wax Rag (1911), theLincoln Highway two step march (1921), and quite possibly theRepasz Band March (1901). This last composition, created for the localRepasz Band ofWilliamsport, Pennsylvania (founded in 1831 and currently the oldest brass band still in existence in theUnited States), has also been credited to its trombonist Charles C. Sweeley; however, evidence indicates that Sweeley had bought rights to the march from Lincoln.[1][2] Lincoln also arranged the works of other composers, such asIrene Marschand Ritter.[3]
