F. A. Peters Organ Co.
1887

From the Daily Gleaner (Fredericton, NB, March 19, 1887): “The new organ for St. Ann’s Church arrived yesterday noon, Mr. F. A. Peters, the builder, in charge. The instrument was at once taken to St. Ann’s Church, and is now being placed in position by Mr. Peters. The organ is a single manual and pedal and stands 18 1/2 feet tall. The case is gothic in design, built of ash filled and polished. The front pipes are highly decorated and form a Gothic arch. The tone of the organ is said to be very rich and clear from soft to loud notes. It will be ready for the services to-morrow. The old organ, which has been removed, has been in use since 1822.” [ed.: This is likely an error since the building was constructed between 1846 and 1847; it was designed by British-born architect Frank Wills.]

From the “Daily Gleaner” (March 29, 1887); “The new organ in St. Ann’s Church was used for the first time on Sunday. Miss Carman, the organist, presided at the morning service, Mrs. Flewelling playing the opening and closing voluntary. At the afternoon service, Prof. Bristowe presided. A very large congregation was present, the church being crowded to its fullest capacity. The organ gave the highest satisfaction, the tone and volume being all that could be desired. Mr. F. A. Peters, the builder, was present at the service.”
