Henry Pilcher's Sons
Opus 408, 1901

Corrections to some information in previous Notes. From OHS 1989 Handbook: "...the "Jewish Temple" of Natchez appears on the 1890 opus list of George Jardine & Son. The Jardine organ was replaced with a 2-10 Henry Pilcher's Sons organ, Op. 408, 1901, which cost $1,950 and the old organ, but both the Temple and the new Pilcher organ were destroyed by fire 21 November 1903. The Jardine, meanwhile, had been sold for $500 lo the Church of the Mediator, Episcopal Church in Meridian, Mississippi. It is not there now."

Identified through information in Volume III p. 1 of the Pilcher factory ledger and the list of Pilcher organs typed by William E. Pilcher of Louisville. For more information see the document referenced below.

Original price: $1450 with old organ (sold Ep. Meridan, MS $500)
