2024-09-04 - In October 1946, the by-laws were again amended granting a greater democratic voice in the election of the vestry and more conformity to the Canons. Also, throughout the year, discussions regarding a new organ continued. Finally, a contract was submitted by M. P. Moeller of Hagerstown, Maryland in the amount of $5,945 plus federal excise tax, and, since the organ fund had reached about $2,000, it was decided to borrow $5,000. Thus, by 1947, we had a new two-manual pipe organ with great, swell, pedal organs and numerous pipes. That same organ, with additions and alterations, is still filling the church with beautiful music today. In 1974, the last modification to the organ was completed with the addition of another rack of 61 pipes at a cost of $1,400. -- Old Chester PA: Christ Church, Ridley: 100th Anniversary, 1979. -Paul R. Marchesano
