The new organ for the First Congregational Church has arrived from Boston.
Three cars were needed to carry the 168 boxes in which the organ had been packed
in sections. A large zinc-lined shed has been built in the rear of the church
in which will be placed the machinery necessary to operate the organ.
It will take from a month to six weeks to place the organ in working order.
The interior of the church is being handsomely renovated.

Clarence Eddy inaugurated the organ in two recitals on September 4 and 5, 1890 (see under "Documents").

Identified through information from James Lewis: -- Replaced a Stevens organ of 1853 that had been enlarged and installed in this building in 1872.
