Steven Bartley on August 1st, 2025:
This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Identified through online information from Steven Bartley (August 1, 2025): from - *The Baltimore Sun* Nov. 12, 1855 Article about two small Pomplitz organs being installed in Maryland churches. ....."The same firm is also finishing a handsome instrument for the Protestant Episcopal Church of Worcester County, the case of which is 12 feet high, 5 feet in width, and 3 feet in depth, and contains six stops. They have been accurately voiced, and are sufficiently powerful for a choir of the usual size. This instrument will also be put up in the church in a few days." In 1855 there were two Episcopal churches in Worcester County. All Hallows, and St. Martin's, in the village of Showell. It is unlikely that the organ went to St. Martins, as did not fully recover from the American revolution, and was used only sporadically, until the 20th century. The fate of the Pomplitz is unknown.
