From the Welland Telegraph (November 3, 1911): "A new pipe organ being purchased in St. Catharines, is being installed at Holy Trinity Church. The organ is much larger than the one which has been in use in the church for some time, and which was recently sold to the Fonthill Episcopal Church."
From the Welland Telegraph (February 9, 1912): "The splendid new pipe organ in Holy Trinity Church was heard for the first time by the public at an organ recital held in the church on Wednesday evening. The organ was pronounced by all who heard it as one of the finest toned instruments of its kind in use at the present time. Under the supervision of C. Franklin Legg [sic] of St. Catharines the recital proved to be a big success. Mr. Legg [sic] is an accomplished organist and his playing of the melodious strains held the large number in attendance, enthralled."
It is likely that all or part of this instrument originated at First Baptist Church, Brantford (S. R. Warren & Sons, 1866), later moved to Queen Street Baptist Church, St. Catharines, by an unknown builder in 1892. The St. Catharines Daily Standard on October 19, 1911, reported that a church in Welland was planning to obtain the instrument upon Queen Street Church's acquisition of another used pipe organ, from St. Thomas Church. Casavant Frères installed a new organ at Holy Trinity Church, as Op. 773 in 1919. It is unknown whether any part of the existing instrument were reused.
