The Washington County Post of November 13, 1891 announces: "James Law offers to purchase a new pipe organ for the United Presbyterian church, if the congregation will bear the expense of placing it in position. The organ will cost $1,800, and it will be placed back of the pulpit." Early in December an alcove was built, and on Monday, December 14th, the organ arrived from Boston. The Post of Christmas Day reports: ''The new pipe organ was used for the first time in public worship at the Presbyterian church last Sabbath [i.e., December 20th, the Fourth Sunday of Advent]. Mr. Allen, an organist from Hoosick, presided and manipulated the instrument."
