From *Jamestown Evening Journal8 (November 3, 1888): "The new organ in St. Luke's P.E. church of this city is in place an is one of the first class organ of the country, although not of the largest dimensions. It has two fronts, one toward the audience and one towards the chancel. The woodwork is of highly polished cherry, and the pipes are decorated in tints of brown and in gold, harmonizing perfectly with the coloring of the church walls. In the instrument there are 711 speaking pipes, the front pipes facing the chancel being used, while those facing the audience are dumb ... The organ is in every respect a perfect instrument, rich in tone, easy of manipulation, and powerful enough for the size of the church edifice. It was built by Johnson & Son of Westfield, Mass., a leading firm of organ builders. Soon a test will be made of the instrument by Mrs. R. C. Bradshaw, the accomplished organist of St. Luke's, when a number of musical people will be invited to determine for themselves the qualities of the new organ. St. Luke's is to be congratulated on obtaining such a magnificent instrument for use in sacred worship."
Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- According to the Johnson opus list, the organ was said to have been sold to Kenmore Methodist Church in Buffalo, New York for $850.00 when the 2nd edifice of St. Luke's was demolished. St. Luke's did build a new (3rd) church in 1894. But according to the church's website, the Hutchings organ that was furnished (Op. 351, 1894) was a rebuild of the Johnson tracker with pneumatic action.
