    AN INFORMAL HISTORY OF PIPE ORGANS IN THE CHURCHES OF ROCK HILL, S.C., AND AT WINTHROP COLLEGE (now UNIVERSITY) 1897 -- 2007 by William B. White, Jr. Member, American Guild of Organists, 1947-2007 I I I I I I 1 I i 225 25th Street, S.W. Roanoke, Virginia 24014 2007 I. PIPE ORGANS IN THE CHURCHES OF ROCK HILL, S.C., FROM 1905 The first pipe organ installed in a Rock Hill church was a 2-manual, 18-rank, second-hand tracker instrument bought from and installed by John Brown of Wilmington, Delaware. The dedication recital was played by Prof. Joseph McLean in July, 1905. This organ was probably Opus 51 of the renowned New York builder Hi'borne L. Roosevelt (he was a first cousin of President Theodore Roosevelt). Preliminary research indicates that the organ was built about 1878-1880 and was installed new in St. Michael and All Angels Protestant Episcopal Church of Baltimore, Maryland. After about twenty years the Church sold the organ and purchased a new and larger instrument. It is likely that it was John Brown who bought the old organ and then sold it to the First Presbyterian Church of Rock Hill, S.C. The organ was first supplied with wind by a water motor which was attached to the city water system in Rock Hill. An electric blower was installed about 1914. The first professional organist of the First Presbyterian Church was Miss Nancy G. Campbell, chairman of the Music Department of Winthrop College. After she removed to Philadelphia in later years, she was one of the founders of the Westminster Choir College, Princeton, N.J.
