Notes

2009-03-31 - Updated with information posted to PIPORG-L March 31, 2009 by Ben Baldus: -- "A Bates & Culley rebuild of what I was told (but not documented) of a 19th century Johnson instrument. We did some restoration, but this LCA-ELCA parish died in the latter part of the 20th century and became some sort of "alternative" church. Fortunately the rederos, chancel furnishings and the stained glass windows were removed. I was told that the organ had been removed to another venue, but that appears to have not been the case. It was a wonderful Franck instrument." -Database Manager

2009-04-02 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- There is no listing on the Ellsworth Johnson opus list for this parish. So if it was a Johnson organ, it would have been a second-hand instrument. -Database Manager
