2008-03-01 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This organ replaced a 2-man. 25-stop tracker built by parishioner Peter Dederichs in 1843 for the previous edifice. The Kilgen was replaced by a new Wigton tracker between 1985-1990. Disposition of the Kilgen is unknown. -Database Manager
2009-09-25 - Updated through on-line information from David K. Wigton. -- Attempted to sell the instrument complete, but finally had to sell it for parts -Database Manager
2015-11-22 - Replaced in 1990 by Wigton 3/74 Op. 12. -Database Manager
2019-04-17 - Updated by William M. Worden, who gave this as the source of the information: I know the bio of Peter Dederichs. <br> <br>Peter Dederichs was not born until 1856. He obviously did not build an organ for the first church of St. Mary\'s in 1843. In any event, he was an architect and there is no record that he was involved in organ building. -Database Manager
