Vernon A Tryon on January 03, 2021:

Our corner-installed organ arrived in our church in 1914 after traveling to Minetto via the Oswego and Erie Canals from Utica. It has been in regular use ever since. At some point before my time the original case was “modernized” with a covering of oak-colored plywood. It was completely cleaned and rebuilt in 1973. We have been advised that our organ is not of historical interest although it is much loved by our congregation.
