The Hook & Hastings organ was presented to the church on 12 June 1883 by Mrs. George Mary Delafield Sturges, in memory of her son. In August 1910, a "Water Engine and supplementary bellows for the organ were installed, $250 having been given therefor by the Sturges family." But by March 1912, "an electric blowing machine ... was installed, the water motor having frozen and burst. The cost of ... 'the Kinetic' was $175. Friends outside the parish gave $110 of that sum." -- from 1990 OHS HAndbook
