Notes

2023-06-03 - This entry is believed to represent a new organ. It replaced an 1888 Geo. H. Ryder which was itself a rebuilding of the church's previous 1863 Wm. A. Johnson, Opus 150. The extant casework seems to likey be by Howard as it bears no resemblance to an 1860's Johnson, nor to an 1888 Ryder. The Emmons Howard was rebuilt (and likey electrified) in 1921 by Geo. Reed & Son. The organ was rebuilt on new chests and with a new console in 1978 by the Fritzsche Organ Co. -Jim Stettner
