From the Elmira Daily Advertiser (March 26, 1881): "Rev. Father Cunningham, pastor of SS. Peter & Paul's Church, is deserving of much commendation and many congratulations for the energy of himself and his people in obtaining so fine an organ as was displayed for the first time before the public last evening, in a grand concert. The new organ, built by Mr. Wm. King, of this city, is the ninth instrument of his make now in Elmira. The new organ has two setts [sic] of manuals two octaves and two notes of pedals. The instrument is enclosed in an ash case, showing forty-one handsomely decorated pipes in front and ends. The case stands sixteen feet wide, eight feet deep and twenty feet high."
