Notes

2023-11-01 - This entry represents the original installation of a new organ. Identified from a related OHS Database account for the relocated organ, still serving the same congregation in a new location. -Jim Stettner

2023-11-01 - From the published parish history (1903-1969): *"The church was closed in the fall of 1914 for a short time to permit the installation of the organ, a two manual Karn Warren of the pneumatic type built in Woodstock, Ontario, one of the best and finest available at the time. A new heating system was installed also, and the choir loft improved. The Anniversary and re-opening of the church were celebrated on November 22, 1914."* -Jim Stettner
