Century-old pipe organ finds its way to Bountiful Community Church

By Becky Ginos

BOUNTIFUL—It’s been over 130 years since a pipe organ, built by The Farrand & Votey Organ Company of Detroit, Michigan, was installed in the First United Methodist Church in Ogden in 1891. In 1993, it was renovated and enlarged by Mervin G. Brown from two manuals (keyboards) and 17 ranks (sets of pipes).
