2016-01-24 - Updated through online information from John Igoe. <br>Pilcher Opus 59 is associated with another apparently disparate entry in this database -Database Manager

2018-02-27 - Updated by James R. Stettner, listing this website as a source of information: https://www.episcopalchurchofthenativity.org/history-.html. <br> According to the "History" page of the parish website, "Mrs. E. Woolfolf presented a pipe organ of ten stops and one octave of pedals, built by Pilcher." Farther down it states, "An electric organ was purchased and choir stalls were moved from the front to the back of the church." No associated date is given. -Database Manager
