Notes

2005-11-24 - Identified from the Reuter Opus List, provided by Chris Leaver, Reuter Organ Co., November, 2005. -Database Manager

2007-05-12 - Updated through on-line information from Larry D. Pickering. -- Except for the outer stone walls, the church was destroyed by fire in 1995. I was hired by the church to remove and inspect the remaining organ parts which were installed in deep chambers in the chancel. The console was destroyed. The original blower was never found after the fire. All windchests were water damaged and unuseable as was 1 wooden flute rank. The remaining ranks were parted out and sold with the exception of a Doppel Flute, pedal Diapason and 3 celestes with their unison ranks. These pipes were re-used in the 1997 Schantz organ installed in the rebuilt Sanctuary. -Database Manager
