Regarding the Woodberry organ, a history relates:
In 1899 a new pipe organ built by Jesse Woodberry & Co. of Boston at a cost of $1,000 was installed in the church and paid for. At the time a two story addition was built in the rear of the church for $1000. The pipe organ had water driven bellows. So long as the water pressure was constant everything was fine, but if it dropped or failed, some poor kid would have to climb inside the organ and pump it by hand. (Later, when the new church was built [in 1911], the organ pipes were carried up Hudson Avenue by church school children. When installed in the new church it was still driven by water, and in the 40's, changed to an electric motor.)

Moved to new building in 1912. Restorative repairs by Carey Organ Co. c. 1993. Also known as Green Island Methodist. [1997 Upper Hudson Valley mini convention wrongly lists it as a 1912 instrument.]
