Paul R. Marchesano on March 6th, 2025:

Information from Ian Mason via email, 2025-3-05:
Dr. Carl Leo Verrinder, organist and choir master of Park Street Methodist Church, Chatham, ON, played the introductory organ recital on the R. S. Williams organ. The program was printed in the Chatham Daily Planet edition of Thurs. Nov. 2, 1893.

The R. S. Williams organ was rebuilt in 1957 by William Legge of Burford, ON, and rebuilt again in 1997 by Don Pole and Ron Kingham of Pole & Kingham Pipe Organ Services, Chatham.

Throughout the two rebuilds, the original 1893 facade of the R. S. Williams organ has been retained.
