As a young boy, John Jasper McClellan, Jr., born in the Payson, Utah Territory in 1874, was fascinated by the little organ that had been brought by team from the railroad in Lehi to the original Payson Tabernacle. The tabernacle was originally built in 1870. It was built near the center of the old fort where and original temporary meeting place of the old fort had been located. It was dedicated by Apostle Wilford Woodruff on July 20, 1872. By the age of eleven, McClellan was serving as a church organist in Payson. More to come in the next edition of The Payson Chronicle.
