2005-06-14 - Online update from Lynn Thompson -- St. John's Church was destroyed by fire on August 23, 2002. Quotes from St. John's webpage: "The organ at St. JohnÂ’s was built by Messrs. Marshall Brothers, Milwaukee in 1872 as a tracker-action instrument. It was rebuilt and electrified in 1912 by Geo. Kilgen & Sons and, again, re-worked and enlarged in the mid-50s by the Temple Organ Company." ... "Also destroyed was the pipe organ of 53 ranks. However, the church had already contracted to replace that instrument with an historic organ. It was in the shop of Michael Quimby of Warrenton , Mo. undergoing restoration. The organ was built in 1863 by E. & G. G. Hook and rebuilt by their successor, Hook & Hastings in 1923. It will stand in the original solid walnut case with gold leaf façade pipes. It will have a three-manual detached draw-knob console. The instrument will be a memorial to Elizabeth Lindsay, a longtime benefactor to the parish. It will be installed in the rebuilt church.
