Notes

2004-12-16 - Information identifying this instrument from the Austin Organs, Inc. web site, accessed December 15, 2004: http://www.austinorgans.com/organ-research.htm. -Database Manager

2006-02-26 - Updated through on-line information from Gary R. Galloway. -- I am a former music director/organist of this church. The current instrument is a 1960s vintage Schantz. It replaced a smaller instrument of about 6 ranks that was located in an alcove at the back of the chancel area. Choir member Miss Wilke is one of the few people who might remember about the older organ, but she has told me she remembers little and doesn't remember the builder. She is also an organist and may be serving as the church's organist now. -Database Manager

2025-03-13 - Church closed. 2 manual Schantz organ is reported to have remained in the building. No further info available. -Gary Galloway
