Goshen Choir Director To Perform at Family Chapel

MORRIS—Jacob Morris Friedman, organist and choir director at St. James Episcopal Church in Goshen, will perform on Sunday, August 31 at 10 a.m. in a dedication concert celebrating the renovation of the pipe organ at All Saints Chapel in Morris.

Built by Friedman’s family in the late 1860s, the historic chapel honors his ancestor General Jacob Morris, a Revolutionary War leader and son of Lewis Morris, signer of the Declaration of Independence. The adjacent Morris Family Burial Ground contains graves dating back to 1791.

Friedman is the son of Carla Hall, painter, sculptor, environmentalist, and founder of the Carla Hall Design Group. Hall, a Morris descendant, lives on land settled by her family in 1787 and has served on the board of the Butternut Valley Alliance and as president of the Otsego Land Trust.

The All Saints Chapel is located in the Zion Episcopal Church, 158 East Main Street, Morris.
