2025-01-22 - An article in the The Philadelphia Inquirer, April 23, 1911 (Page 13) announces that the church of St. Mary-by-the-Sea in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, has acquired much of the old church furniture from Grace Episcopal Church, 12th & Cherry Streets, Philadelphia. No mention of the organ is made, although it is possible it could have been included with the "furniture". -Paul R. Marchesano
