Local musician Jacob Morris Friedman recently participated in a service at his family historic Morris Historical Chapel (All Saints Chapel) in Morris, New York.
His ancestors built the chapel in the 1860s on the Morris family estate, which is now part of Zion Episcopal Church. The chapel honors General Jacob Morris, who was a leader in the Revolutionary War and the son of Lewis Morris, a Founding Father who signed the Declaration of Independence. The organ was endowed by Katherine Clark Morris.
The organ project was carried out by Chase Organ Company, Worcester, New York.
