According to Bishop Remington's journal from December 6: "This has been an eventful day in the history of our oldest Mission and Parish, St. Paul's. I talked to the Church School about Eastern Oregon missionary history, and then preached to a congregation which quite filled the church. The rebuilt organ is finer than we dared hope, real craftsman have been at work, two new stops have been installed, the whole action electrified, new console, and such and overhauling as will last another fifty years and give us an instrument of real beauty and tone of quality. There were sixty-one communicants at the celebration, and the choir rendered the service with new beauty and devotion. I dedicated the rebuilt organ at this service. It was a pleasure to see our oldest communicant, Mrs. Schenck at this service. In the evening Mrs. Remington gave the first organ recital, assisted by Miss Sprittle, contralto, and Mr. Buchanan, tenor. The church was filled to overflowing and a delightful reception in the Parish Hall was given afterwards for the parish and visiting friends." (The Bishops Diary. The Oregon Trail Churchman, January, 1932).
The question for this month, who did Bishop Remington dedicate the organ to on December 6, 1931 at St. Paul's Church in The Dalles? Notice how he doesn't state it directly in the OTC. The answer to this question can be found in Bishop Remington's collection, recently processed and accessioned (2015.003.002), featuring the former Bishop's correspondence, diaries, travel photo journals, and much, much more.
