2020-07-22 - A note in the April 1959 issue of <i>The Tracker</i> recorded the destruction of this organ: Church fires have taken a bad toll of tracker organs in Massachusetts recently. Gone are the 1877 Hook & Hastings in Gardner's Methodist Church, and the 1886 Hook & Hastings in St. Matthew & Redeemer Episcopal Church of South Boston.
