Notes

2025-01-29 - This entry is believed to represent the installation of a new organ. Unknown if it was installed in the building before it was relocated to School Street in 1876. It was destroyed by fire in 1910. From the church website. "1910 - The church's centennial year was marked by two fires, only several days apart. Not much is known about the origin of the first fire, other than it was relatively minor. The second fire started when a workman's torch was upset during repairs from the first fire, and this fire was much more extensive. The organ was damaged beyond repair. A new Hook & Hastings tracker organ was purchased and installed." -Jim Stettner
