- In 1966 a pipe organ was present in the First Unitarian Society of Hudson, Massachusetts, that was signed by George H. Ryder & Co. as opus 161 from 1891. However, parts of the organ are older, and are dating from around 1868. This concerts the wind chests of the manuals and a great deal of the pipes. The Vox Humana of Swell is standing on the slide of a former Mixture stop.
- The Church is called Unitarian Church of Marlborough and Hudson nowadays. It is unclear wether the organ is still present or not.
