2023-02-28 - The Reverend George C. Heckman began his service as the second pastor in August 1861. The following year the congregation purchased its first organ. Research by Stephen Pinel has revealed that this organ was installed by John G. Marklove. Although the specification of the organ has not come to light, we know the following from Musical Review and Musical World: *We have had lately two items of interest which may be well to immortalize. The first is a "Grand Sacred Concert," given in the Third Presbyterian Church, under the direction of Prof. J.H. Wheeler, and was for the benefit of the organ fund. Recently, Mr. J.G. Marklove, of Utica, N.Y., placed in this church a fine organ of twenty-four stops; and the concert was given to exhibit it, by an appropriate concert; and to judge by the programme-not the concert-the best musical talent of the city was present.* On July 12, 1883, the congregation was reorganized as the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church...The Reverend Dr. J. Albert Rondthaler was called as pastor. He accepted on condition that the congregation sell its property and move north. The organ was moved from the old church to the new chapel. -- *2007 OHS Atlas* -Paul R. Marchesano
