2021-03-01 - Excerpt from the church's website February 2021 " In July 1901, Trinity Mission was organized at a meeting of interested persons in the Forrest County Court House and was promptly admitted into the Diocese during the Diocesan Council in April 1902. Church services were held in the court house and later at First Presbyterian Church until 1902, when a frame church was built on Buschman Street using a parcel of land acquired in 1899... Trinity's original organ was the first pipe organ in Hattiesburg. It was designed by Dr. Simpson-Atmore and was patterned after the one used by the poet, John Milton, while he was secretary to Oliver Cromwell in the 17th century. The present McManis organ was installed in 1967." note from the researcher: hyperbole suspected. -William Dunklin
