2024-11-22 - The organ has been identified through church records recently unearthed when the church closed and the organ moved to storage: it was the Alvinza Andrews organ from Zion Episcopal, Butternuts NY (now know as Morris). The case is Andrews but the interior is Morey with little to nothing of Andrews left other than a few bits. -Scot Huntington
