2024-03-14 - An organ by Pfeffer and one by Joseph Lorenz are both noted as having been at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Arlington, Minnesota. The instruments are one and the same. One or the other is correct, although it is unclear who built it. According to a newspaper news tidbit from the June 3, 1903 edition of the New Ulm Review, the instrument was sold to St. Mary's Church in Arlington, Minnesota. It was moved from Holy Trinity Catholic Church in New Ulm, Minnesota that summer, after Holy Trinity Parish installed a new two manual Vogelpohl & Spaeth pipe organ in their church. The removal and setup was most likely carried out by Messrs. Vogelpohl and Spaeth. -Josh Sellner
