Notes

2012-04-23 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- According to a 2-page .pdf document on the church website regarding the history of the church, "The larger organ in the sanctuary required both an organist and pumper to operate. Miss M.S. Cooney was hired in 1895 to play the organ, direct the choir and supervise Sabbath School, all for $20 a month. The pumper, who pumped air for the organ during worship services and choir rehearsals, was paid $2 a month. " -Database Manager
