Paul R. Marchesano on March 12th, 2025:

"The Reformed Church of Rhinebeck was founded in 1731...Church records show that on January 4, 1893, $2,700 was expended for a new organ. Another entry for September 24, 1894, shows that $75 was received as proceeds from the sale of the old organ (Augustus Backus, c. 1860, 1-6) which was sold to St. Peter's Lutheran Church (Old Stone Church)."
