NOTES
This well-traveled organ is believed to have come from the Presbyterian Church,
in Boonville, New York. It was next in First Baptist Church in Ames, New York
where it had been rebuilt and installed by C.E. Morey. 

The organ is free-standing and encased in a front gallery. The keydesk is
attached and projecting. The facade has 20 pipes. The Great IV Mixture and
Swell 8' Trumpet are full preparations – requiring only the pipework to play.

Prior to the installation of this rebuilt pipe organ in 1974, music had prev-
iously been provided first be a harmonium, and then by a 2-manual Estey reed
organ.
