Notes

2025-05-03 - See "New Organ in Use To-morrow," Chatham (NJ) Press, July 23, 1910, 1, Newspapers.com, https://www.newspapers.com/image/95299696, reproduced under "Documents." The church installed M. P. Möller's Opus 7171 in 1945 (not 1946); see "New Organ for Ogden Memorial Church Assured," Chatham (NJ) Press, Friday, July 13, 1945, 1 (Newspapers.com, https://www.newspapers.com/image/95296161): "Progress on the new organ being installed in the church was reported by Henry R. Guyre, chairman of the organ committee. M. P. Moller, Inc., of Hagerstown, Md., is installing the thoroughly modern electric organ, with chimes." The same newspaper, on November 9, 1945 (page 7, https://www.newspapers.com/image/95301919), announced that a musical vesper service would be presented at the church on November 18; "This is the first musical service presented by the choir since the new organ was installed." The fate of the Tallman organ is unknown. [Ed.: The Moller stoplist has stops marked "*existing pipework" indicating that Moller reused soem of teh Tallman pipework in its new organ in 1945.] -Charles Eberline
