Notes

2021-01-12 - Known from a newspaper report on the installation of the organ. The organ was to be put into first service on Sunday, June 10, 1900. No further details were provided. Since the previous organ was only 27 years old, the young firm likely reused at least some pipework from the E. & G.G. Hook and Hastings organ. -Paul R. Marchesano

2021-05-27 - "The order for the introduction of a new stop to be placed in the organ of the Presbyterian Church was given to Messrs. Bates & Cully, [sic] of Philadelphia, to-day. The work will be done during the month of August, at which time the church interior will also be redocorated." --* Courier-Post* (Camden, New Jersey) · 22 Jun 1903, Mon · Page 3 -Paul R. Marchesano
