James
Gordon Organ
In 2005,
Harvey Harkness and Edward Nutter purchased for the Epsom Historical
Association, an old pump organ made by James M. Gordon of Epsom.
Born in Woodstock, NH, February 6, 1841, son of William H. Gordon
and Mary Clough. In 1865 he married Carrie Ann Marden, daughter
of David M. and Ann (Bickford) Marden, and for a period they lived
with her parents in Epsom. Below is a brief outline of his activities
and residence. As there is no company name on the organ other
than the name of James M. Gordon, it was probably manufactured
about 1881. The organ currently is on display at the old town
hall.
