From The Sun and the Erie County Independent (Hamburg, NY, May 12, 1971): "On Sunday evening, May 16, 1971 at 8 pm members and friends of St. Matthew's United Church of Christ will celebrate the completion of a fund drive to raise $8,200 to rebuild and renew their pipe organ. Playing is Miss Mildred Fischle, organist and choir director. The original organ was purchased in 1902 from a Jewish Synagogue, after it had been used in the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, at a cost of $3,000. This organ was rebuilt and electrified in 1947 and dedicated to the glory of God in memory of Gordon F. Brader, William Burden, and Leonard R. Kohl, young men of the congregation who gave their lives for their country in World War II. The church relocated from an industrial area at Swan and Hagerman Streets in Buffalo to its present location in 1961. This pipe organ was one of the few things from the original building that were moved to McKinley Pkwy in Hamburg. Now in an age of new materials and better methods, it was decided the organ should be cleaned, repaired and updated by the Schlicter [sic] Organ Company of Buffalo."
