About 1906 or 1907 a new, two-manual Estey pipe organ with 7 stops, 4 couplers and 1 tremolo attachment
was provided by Mr. W. D. Mount who obtained donations where possible and then covered the
necessary balance himself. The cost was $1,100. Originally the pipe organ was powered by a large bellows,
manually operated by a boy or a man. In 1910 a water motor was installed to eliminate the manual work.
In 1947 an electric motor with blower replaced the water version.
