2023-02-10 - From an online history of the church ( https://www.wrhistoricalsociety.com/plymouth-congregational-church ) we read, *"Later in 1917 Rev. Charles E. Trueblood replaced the pump organ with a beautiful “life-size, built in motored pipe organ” partially funded with a $1000 grant from Andrew Carnegie. * *A newspaper article of the day described the organ as “awe inspiring, music swelling and soul filling pipe organ with hundreds of stops and pipes” and an Opening Recital was given for the public on October 8, a Friday evening in 1917. * *“It really took some effort to purchase it but all the women got together to make the payments. That’s why it’s called the Mothers Organ.,” according to PCC’s last minister, Rev. James Facklam. * *When the organ first arrived, members could donate money to have the name of their mother’s put on a permanent plaque. It helped build up the cash necessary to finish off the cost and the plaque with its original 109 names on it was still there in 1999 when the church was closing. * -Jim Stettner
