Notes

2022-12-29 - In 1925, the church [First Baptist Church, Jackson, Mississippi] moved to their present location at 430 N. President/431 N. State and donated the organ to a sister church, First Baptist Church in Clinton, Mississippi. According to the book, in 1974, although it had been extensively rebuilt, at that time, the organ was still in use. Based on the book, *The History of the First Baptist Church*. -- from notes on Organ ID: 72367. -Paul R. Marchesano

2023-04-10 - Ranks were added in the 1974 rebuild, which was done by Billy Trotter, organ professor at Mississippi College at that time. He ordered parts from Organ Supply Industries, and a console from Reuter. As of 2022, it is in working condition, but needs extensive work. The Chapel (Old Sanctuary) is still used for Funerals/Weddings and the organ is used occasionally. -Robert William Knupp
