Notes

2004-10-30 - Older Koehnken & Grimm rebuilt? Church razed 1969. Most pipes saved at the time. [What became of them?] -Database Manager

2013-03-24 - Updated through online information from Don Hurd. -- The church was the largest Catholic church in Newport, but it was located too close to the Ohio River and was in a flood area. It was torn down in the mid 1960s and replaced by a Post Office. The pipes were incorporated into the home installation of Richard Kersting. His home organ no longer exists. -Database Manager

2022-10-27 - This organ is said to be a rebuild of an older Koehnken & Grimm organ. The present building was dedicated in 1873. The facade was constructed in 1886. -- *1965 OHS Handbook* -Paul R. Marchesano
