Database Manager on April 19th, 2018:

William M. Wilson (c.1802-1884) built an organ in 1881 for the Basement Church. Wilson was a partner with Henry Erben & Co. of New York City from 1874-1879, after which he operated his own firm as successor to Henry Erben & Co. He retired in 1883 and died in April 1884 at the age of 81.


The Musical Courier (Apr. 6, 1881) reported on the activities of Wm. M. Wilson:

"An organ has also been placed in St. John the Evangelist Church, 55th St. and First Avenue, used at the recent dedication of the basement; Great 6, Swell 7, Pedal Bourdon and Violoncello."
