2025-01-29 - This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Identified from company publications as edited and expanded in *The Hook Opus List 1829-1935*, ed. William T. Van Pelt (Organ Historical Society, 1991). -Jim Stettner

2025-01-29 - From the church website: 1838 - A second church building is constructed at Mathew's Mills. The site is now 37 Cranberry Meadow Road, across from Noble Middle School, next to an abandoned section of state Route 9. 1839 - The new church building is dedicated, and a formal society is formed. 1876 - The building is moved to its present location (37 School Street), and then expanded. 1877 - The building is dedicated. 1910 - The church's centennial year was marked by two fires, only several days apart. Not much is known about the origin of the first fire, other than it was relatively minor. The second fire started when a workman's torch was upset during repairs from the first fire, and this fire was much more extensive. The organ was damaged beyond repair. A new Hook & Hastings tracker organ was purchased and installed. -Jim Stettner
