Notes

2005-04-06 - Identified through information in Vol. III p. 159 of the Pilcher factory ledgers. See the document referenced below. -Database Manager

2005-04-06 - Original price: $2000. Water Motor. Also had 1888 Pilcher 1m. -Database Manager

2022-02-05 - Rebuilt in 1945 with no tonal changes; rebuilt again in 1976 by Greenwood, again with no tonal changes. -Jeff Scofield

2022-11-29 - This is Pam Bordelon again. My sister married in summer of 1976, so you have the rebuilt info I mistakenly referred to as a tuning. I do remember that the man who came to do it was the son of the man who did it back in the '40s. He found either his dad's initials or signature somewhere. Margie Fisher, the church's long-time organist, added bells in memory of her husband in the late '60s or early '70s. But that's the only addition I'm aware of. -Pam Bordelon
