NOTES
The organ was free-standing and encased with an attached, projecting keydesk
having a folding cover which lifts to form a music rack. Stops were as draw-
knobs in terraced jambs on either side of the manuals. The stenciled facade
had 25 pipes arranged 5-15-5. Pipes 1 - 13 of Great 8' Open Diapason were in
the facade.

In 1912, the church acquired a new M.P. Moller organ. The William King was
relocated to Arnot Presbyterian Church in Arnot, Pennsylvania by an unidenti-
fied person or firm.
