2022-03-29 - Persistent reports that the organ was delivered over Mosquito Pass by ox -cart, with the builder himself in attendance, have been solidly disproved by Michael Friesen. The instrument was undoubtedly delivered by rail, and according to The Leadville Daily Herald of Sunday, 13 August 188 2, the organ was "put in position by Mr. Worcester, of the firm of Worcester and Brown" of Leadville. Purchased for $2, 000, it was opened with a concert presented on Thursday, 10 August 1882. A "surpliced choir of boys, about twenty in number," was introduced in 1888. The organ was originally installed in the rear of the church, and was moved to the chancel many years ago, at which time the casework was altered. Dewey Layton made extensive repairs to the instrument in 1971. -- from *1998 OHS Handbook* -Paul R. Marchesano
