Miss Jane Newcomb, now Mrs. Hooker, who began playing the
    organ when she was little more than a child, left Corinth in 1900
    to make here home in Boston.  The Methodists had depended on her
    to play the organ and to direct the church music for a long time.
    There was genuine regret caused by her moving away from Corinth.
    Fortunately, a Methodist family came to Corinth that year-- Mr.
    and Mrs. J.O.Gaither and their son Rice.  Mrs. Gaither was a
    talented musician and agreed to be organist.  She filled this
    position faithfully and well during her stay in Corinth. [p.123]

          As previously stated, Mrs. J.O.Gaither became organist when
    Mrs. Hooker moved to Boston in 1900.  Mrs. Gaither was followed
    by Mrs. A.I. Ellis as organist.  Mrs. Ellis was daughter of the
    late Rev. Thomas Cameron;  she was a splendid musician....[p.144]
