The stained-glass triptych created by Henry Wynd Young (1874–1923) was installed in the narthex (lobby) as a memorial to Emmanuel’s youth who sacrificed their lives in the Great War. Edward Hale Perry was one of them.

1903
June 26. Andrew Gray Weeks died. Having been born in Portland, Maine, in 1823 and confirmed by Dr. F. Dan Huntington, he served on our vestry (1879-82 & 1884) and as junior warden from 1885 until his death. Having become a successful merchant, Andrew was generous to our church and those less fortunate. In 1905 his sister Harriet (Mrs. Silas Reed) Anthony gave in his memory the playground for the Emmanuel Memorial House, which his widow Alice gave. She also paid for a brass memorial plaque for their son Kenneth, who fell at Givenchy, France, in 1915.
