Notes

2023-04-13 - Known from reference in two newspaper articles. ***The News-Journal* (Lancaster, Pennsylvania) 1 Dec 1893** mentions that John Brown is heading to Philadelphia to the dedication of Tabor Presbyterian where a new instrument of his manufacture "has just been installed." ***The Times* (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) 27 November 1893**: "A special Thanksgiving service was held at the Tabor Presbyterian Church. The first recital onthe new organ, conducted by Professor David Wood, will be given Friday evening at 8 o'clock, to which the pubic is invited." -Paul R. Marchesano
