From the Elmira Daily Advertiser (August 17, 1880): "We take great pleasure in stating to our readers that Mr. William King, the renowned organ builder of this city, has just been awarded the contract for constructing the grand organ for St. Patrick's Church, Lockport, N.Y., his reputation being sufficient to give him the preference over his many competitors. The new organ, costing nearly $2,500, upon which work has already begun, and which it is agreed shall be completed before Nov. 1st, will be one of his best efforts, and when finished, will serve still further to extend his name as being among the foremost in the noble art of organ building in this country. It will contain 22 registers and 1,000 pipes, and will have two stops on the pedals. The case, of chestnut and walnut woods, being 10 feet in depth, 20 feet high, and 13 feet in width, displaying a beautiful front of 25 massive metal pipes, arranged in succession and superbly decorated ... As a disciple of fellow-laborer and successor to the famous Robjohn, who did so much to systematize and reduce to a perfect science he ether of organ construction, Mr. King' name as an organ builder will become ultimately a synonym for perfection in this respect, and is destined, like the La France Steam Engine Company, to be intimately linked with that of Elmira as being one of the most famous manufactures."
