2024-02-23 - This entry represents the moving and re-installation of an existing organ from the parish's first building to their second building. -Jim Stettner
2024-02-23 - Updated through online information from David Gauthier: According to church history, this organ was moved by Steere & Turner in 1896 from the chapel to the new church (2nd). It is still in that location, and I play it regularly. It was then updated by Berkshire Organ Co in 1969 (3rd). This organ has three references. [Editor: Steere & Turner ceased operations under that name in 1894, so it would have been J. W. Steere & Son]. -Jim Stettner
