For many years, Harry James Lincoln served as the composer and general manager of Vandersloot Music. Cora E. Vandersloot, néeElwert (1869–1944), wife of F. W. Vandersloot, had also served as president and manager.[5] In 1929, Harry J. Lincoln acquired part of the Vandersloot Music Publishing Company and moved it to Philadelphia and operated it under the same name. When F. W. Vandersloot died in 1931, the firm dissolved, with much of the inventory being acquired by New York publisher Jack Mills.
Frank Hoyt Losey had been a composer and editor-in-chief for the Vandersloot Music Publishing Company.
Frederick William Vandersloot, Jr., married Cora E. Vandersloot (née Elwert) on January 20, 1898. They had two sons and two daughters. One son and one daughter — Carl Donaldson Vandersloot (1898–1963) and Ruth Person Vandersloot (1904–1989) — both composed for Vandersloot Music. In 1920, Ruth married Author Taylor Eaker and composed under the pseudonym Ruth V. Hoyt, her surname borrowed from Vandersloot's editor-in-chief Frank Hoyt Losey.
