Jim Stettner on January 22nd, 2023:

This entry represents the installation of a used organ. Identified from the church's website, which states, ". . . It was eventually replaced by a Henry Erben organ and built in 1854 for the First Baptist Church in Fall River, Massachusetts, and shipped in crates by rail to Plymouth where it was reassembled. It had "tracker" key action meaning that each pipe had a wooden rod from the console to open and close its valves. Younger church members were commandeered to provide uninterrupted wind power." The Erben was replaced in 1928 by a 3-manual E.M. Skinner. The subsequent disposition of the Erben is not known.
