Information on this event comes from the May 16, 1910 article on Trinity Parish’s 50th anniversary, the January 6, 1912 article on the completion of the tower, and the November 22, 1959 article on Trinity Parish’s centennial.  So far, I haven’t found any contemporary reporting on this event.

The first services were held in the new church building on June 5, 1898.
