"English Gothic of the fourteenth century . . . amount paid to the architect, $350 . . . cost of the windows, $2,100; tiling, $640; chancel furniture, $725; other furniture, etc., $150; probably cost of the bell, $300; cost of the organ, $1,825 . . ." -Database Manager

2008-05-12 - Updated through online information from Paul Marchesano. -- Gen. George C. Marshall was a member of the church and pumped the organ as a child. Church records indicate that he fell asleep one morning and the organ stopped playing mid-phrase. He was dismissed thereafter from organ pumping duties. -Database Manager
