2004-10-30 - [This opus number on the Hook list for 2nd Congregational, New Castle, ME (1-16s).] -Database Manager
2009-04-06 - There is a puzzle here: The date of the organ according to the Hook Opus list is 1865, but church records apparently show 1856. The organ could well have been moved from its original location in New Castle, Maine, but not nine years before it was built. -Database Manager
