2018-05-07/2019-02-11 - From the OHS Database Builders Listing editor, January 14, 2017. - Midwest Organ Service of Granite City, was still in business in 1960. The St. Joseph, Missouri chapter of the AGO website reports the organ in First Christian Church of St. Joseph was rebuilt in 1955 and 1960 by the firm. Information from David Lewis. OHS Database entry for this organ's 1960 addition of Antiphonal organ gives Walter. A. 'Gus' Brummer as the builder making the addition. David Lewis provided the last update (2013-01-26) so Mr. Lewis presumably equated Brummer with Midwest Organ Service.
