Updated through online information from Hunter Godsey.
Christ Church Parish archives report that in 1908, the church moved from a quartette choir located in the gallery to a chorus choir in the chancel. "The transfer of the choir from the gallery to the chancel made it desirable for the transfer of the organ to the same place, and inasmuch as the old organ was too small, a movement was set on foot to purchase a new one. It was early on decided to build the organ as a memorial to Mrs. C.E. Schofield." The organ was installed in December 1909 and the dedication was scheduled for January 9, 1910. A plate bearing the following inscription was placed on the organ: "Erected by the Congregation of Christ Church to the Glory of God and in loving memory of MARY LITTLE SCHOFIELD. Through the long years she rendered most beautiful and effective service in the choir of this Church."
This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ.
Identified by Hunter Godsey, using information found in The Atlanta Georgian and News newspaper (Dec. 7, 1909); also Bibb County GA archives of Christ Church Parish.
