2025-01-31 - The builder is identified as "C. E. Morey of Utica, N. Y." in "Dunmore" (column), Scranton Republican, Wednesday, February 28, 1906, 11, Newspapers.com, https://www.newspapers.com/image/48254540; the notice also includes the program of the opening recital and the stoplist of the organ (see under "Documents").

Dunmore First Methodist, 229." The Morey organ was presumably replaced by Casavant Frères Ltée.'s Op. 2421; see "Dunmore Methodist Church Organ Will Be Dedicated Monday Night," Scrantonian, Sunday, January 12, 1958, 11, Newspapers.com, https://www.newspapers.com/image/533259945: "A $105,257 building and organ program is nearing completion at Dunmore Methodist Church, which marks its 100th anniversary in 1960. The new $27,100 Casavant pipe organ will be dedicated Monday night. . . . History of construction of the Dunmore church follows: . . . 1889, completion and dedication of the present church at South Blakely and Rigg Sts.; . . . 1906, new pipe organ installed." The history does not mention any other organ in the church. The fate of the Morey organ is unknown. -Charles Eberline
