Jim Stettner on April 11th, 2023:

This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Identified from notes in the History section of the parish website, which state: "The organ bought in 1929 has its own unique history. Anecdotal evidence describes a 1946 innovation of the late Gil Hopson, owner of Kemptville pharmacy and St. James parishioner: enema tubing to serve as [action] pipes for the then pneumatic organ."
