Notes

2024-08-02 - "Founder William C. Donald. Mr. Donald, owner of an ink factory in the Frye Village section of town, withdrew from South Church to help constitute Free Christian Church. At his death in April 1906, he was the last of the original members. As a memorial his children donated the organ for the new 1907 sanctuary. When fire destroyed that organ in 1941, Donald’s descendants donated our present organ." -- The History of Free Christian Church, Copyright © 1996, 2012 by Free Christian Church. -Paul R. Marchesano
