Notes

2025-06-21 - As reported in *The Evening Star*, April 10, 1894, the Rev. J. Scott Howard announced he was donating an organ to his congregation, St. Matthew's Church, in memory of his wife. St. Matthew's Church is listed in the Edward Lye & Sons Catalogue of Organs (1910) and it is conjectured that a Lye instrument was installed in 1894, later rebuilt by the same firm. -Andrew Henderson
