Notes

2025-04-20 - This entry represents the electrification of an existing organ. Identified throuh online information from Andrew Henderson (April 19, 2025): From *The Democrat & Chronicle* (Rochester, NY, June 30, 1939): "Bishop Charles W. Flint of the Syracuse area will join with Penn Yan Methodists in rededicating their newly rebuilt pipe organ Sunday heralding the event throughout the village through chimes to be heard over loudspeakers in the steeple of the church ... beginning May 16, the organ was dismantled and the console sent to Erie, PA, where it was completely rebuilt in an organ factory. The pneumatic action with its miles of small lead pipe was removed and in its place a modern electric system was installed ... work on the organ has just been completed by C. M. Topliff of Rochester, pipe organ builder." -Andrew Henderson
