2007-05-31 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. [Source: Möller opus list] -Database Manager

2007-10-30 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The congregation moved to their new [present] facility ca. 1975 at which time the old building was sold to another church group. The cost of moving, rebuilding, and reinstalling the Moller was researched, but thought to be too prohibitive. The organ was relocated to Bethel College in McKenzie, TN. The old church was later abandoned, and ultimately suffered a fire and was razed. Source: phone conversation with former organist Eugene McCammon on 10/29/07. -Database Manager
