Updated by René Le Grand, listing this web site as a source of information: https://marconf.ca/45268-history-of-newcastle-pastoral-charge/. <br> <br>The changes I propose seem to me to respect the situation in 1919.<br>Apparently the CASAVANT stoplist usually do such shortcut, but I think it to be historically detrimental.<br>The readers will not lose anything because the NOTES reconstruct the life span.<br>The organ was given to the church in 1919 by Lord Beaverbrook in memory of his father, the Rev. William Aitken. A new building was opened in 1963.

Database Manager on February 2nd, 2019:
Updated by René Le Grand <br> <br>The opus 806 was a gift of lord Beaverbrook, William Maxwell \"Max\" Aitken, in memory of his father. The organ is located on a platform posed on the stage facing the assembly, at a distance of about three meters of a basket handle like arch.<br>(https://www.historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/image-image.aspx?id=8372#i3)<br>(...) organ rebuilt by Casavant in 1955 as opus 2288.

Database Manager on November 25th, 2018:
Upon church union in 1926, the congregation merged with St. John's Methodist Church to become St. James and St. John United Church; the church is in Newcastle, which became part of Miramichi in 1995; organ rebuilt by Casavant in 1955.
