Notes

2021-01-13 - Known from a report in the Courier-Post (Camden NJ) that the organ committee had chosen the "well known firm" of Bates & Culley to furnish an organ for the new church building. At the time, Bates & Culley had the St. Louis World's Fair organ in their shop and were adding 15 stops to it. -Paul R. Marchesano

2021-10-21 - Thre was a fire in the church on October 15, 1907, which did some damage, but did not destroy the church. Haskell also lists work here (supervised by Charles E. Haskell) which would have occured between 1905-1909. It appears that in November 1907, the organ committee decided on Bates & Culley to "place a new pipe organ in the church". It is likely they reused pipework from teh earlier Haskell organ. -Paul R. Marchesano
