Notable Lydia (Odell) Baxter (1809 - 1874) “an American Poet” and Hymn writer

Question

Lydia (Odell) Baxter (1809 - 1874)  is a notable surprisingly she isn’t on Wikitree that I could find. I’d like to build her genealogy in collaboration. One of her hymns was sung at my great grandfather’s sister Florence Mae (Gibbs) Titus (1891 - 1942) funeral. 

Is there any further resources to help in this Notables genealogy?

Wikipedia I believe has wrong month and day of death?
