Notes

2023-04-11 - This entry represents the electrification of the existing 1929 tubular-pneumatic organ. Identified from notes in the History section of the parish website which state: *"The organ bought in 1929 has its own unique history. Anecdotal evidence describes a 1946 innovation of the late Gil Hopson, owner of Kemptville pharmacy and St. James parishioner: enema tubing to serve as pipes for the then pneumatic organ. Conversion of the organ to electro-pneumatic occurred in 1956, losing those tubes."* -Jim Stettner
