2007-11-05 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- A telephone conversation November 4, 2007 with Pastor Dewey revealed that the organ is presently not playable, but still extant and protected. It is thought that the bellows have ruptured and will no longer hold wind. An electronic organ is in use presently. -Database Manager

2014-11-28 - Updated through online information from Paul H. Roeder. -- This pipe organ was refurbished to its original state as it was built in 1899 when installed in the church. It took 5 weeks of refurbishing with the help of the refurbisher (gentleman) and 2 extra people. The organ was 75% dismantled on site to bring this pipe organ to full capacity with a new reservoir and new 6 inch wind hoses installed and some new parts from Organ Supply Company. However this organ was idle for about 30-40 years and this local refurbisher was found that had the knowledge to refurbish this organ. This is a fantastic sounding organ. Must see and hear this single keyboard organ. -Database Manager
