According to the 1923 records of the Louis F. Mohr Company, a pipe organ service firm located in the Bronx, New England Congregational Church housed an organ bui lt by Emmons Howard (1 845- 1931 ). An alumnus of Johnson & Son, Howard built organs on his own in Westfield, Massachusetts from 1883, then later in nearby Springfield until about 1928. T his organ was likely in the new buildi ng of New England Congregational Church by 1902, and was installed in the former building during 1894.

A ca. 1895 one- manual Howard organ later surfaced at the Mount Olivet Baptist Church in Saratoga and is very likely this instrument. About 1970 it was moved to the R eformed Church of F or t Miller, New York by James Petit, and in 1976 to St. Nicholas' Episcopal Church, Tahuya, Washington, where it was heard at the O.H.S.'s twenty-seventh annual convention as demonstrated by founding Society president Barbara Owen.
