2025-01-22 - Identified from *A History of St. Michael's Church Trenton, from the year of our Lord 1703 to 1926*, p. 135. "St. Michael's Church was now to enter upon a career of extension, as is evidenced by the employment of a parish missionary, the purchase of a new organ, and the rebuilding of the church edifice. The parish was declared to be ( 1866) free of debt, and the way was therefore open for the enjoyment of these advantages." A NEW ORGAN April 20, 1866. "Resolved that the choir committee be authorized to purchase a new organ not costing over $2,800." May 3, 1866. The choir committee had contracted to purchase a new organ from John Roberts of Frankford , Pa . , for $2250." -Paul R. Marchesano
