A Founder of the American Guild of Organists, Charles Taylor Ives was born in Brooklyn, NY, in 1864, and served at various times as organist of Emmanuel Baptist Church (Brooklyn), First Congregational Church (Montclair, NJ), the Baptist Temple (Brooklyn), and Classon Avenue Presbyterian Church (also in Brooklyn).
