- On May 27, 1869, a new organ was dedicated in Pearl Street Church , Nashua, New Hampshire. The organ was built as opus 269 by William A. Johnson. The dedicational concert was played by the famous organist Eugene Thayer, in collaboration with the organist of the church, Emily Grant, mr. W.H. Johnson from the builders company and some other musicians.
- In 1882, the organ was trasnferred to a new building, because the congregation merged with the Olive Street Church. The new church was baptised Pilgrim Congregational Church. But when a new church was built in 1956-1957, the organ was dismantled. Some ranks were re-used in the new organ by Estey.
