Notes

2007-08-02 - Identified through online information from Douglas W. Craw. -- At the time of dedication only 29 stops were provided, 10 stops being "Prepared For." -Database Manager

2008-04-12 - Updated through online information from Ray Ahrens. -- Organ renovated and completed October 2006 -Database Manager

2008-06-22 - Updated through online information from Mark Funk. -- The church has had the original organ cleaned (all pipes were in the pews at one time). Before pipes were replaced, new additions were installed bringing the organ up to its original specifications as drawn. I found out to be a brave venture as most churches won't update when even prepared for. Parishoners were invited to tour the empty organ chambers whilst the pipes lay on the pews. -Database Manager
