2016-01-02 - Updated through online information from Scot Huntington. <br>This church in 2015 is the Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church, and has been for an unknown length of time, but at least since 1981 when the organ was described in The Coupler. -Database Manager
2016-06-14 - Information from Loreen Jorgenson -- The organ was purchased and installed in 1905 in the German Church of the Evangelical Association of North America. In 1946 the Evangelical Association merged with the United Brethren and became the Evangelical United Brethren Church of Lyons. In 1968, the Evangelical United Brethren and Methodist Churches merged and this congregation became the Albright United Methodist Church. The congregation merged with the Dorsey United Methodist Church in 1970, and in 1971 the building was sold to the Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church which is still active there. From my discussion with the caretaker, the organ is seldom played because no one knows how to play it. -Database Manager
2022-04-09 - The mechanism and pipes of the organ are in good condition, typical for the battleship construction of a Hinners. However, the organ is underwinded from either a blown-out reservoir or an issue with the blower, and until that is repaired, the instrument is not in musically usable condition. Apparently there is little interest in having the instrument repaired. -Scot Huntington
