Notes

2025-05-25 - This entry represents the installation of a new organ, which was a gift from an anonymous donor. Identified from *A History of St. John's Parish* which states: "January 18, 1893 - The Parish Clerk, F. Mitchell, stated to the Vestry that he was authorized to announce that a gift of a chancel organ had been made to the church and that the donor wished his name withheld (The donor was Henry H. Peck.). The one proviso accompanying the gift is that the cost of the organ and placing in position in the Church, shall not exceed $4000 and with this the suggestion was made that the organ be procured without unnecessary delay. Voted. That the thanks of the Wardens and Vestry be extended to the unknown donor for the generous gift of a chancel organ." "Easter Monday 1893 - A contract was made with Messrs. Farrand & Votey of Detroit to place an organ in the West bay of the North gallery for a cost of $4,000." -Jim Stettner
