Notes

2008-09-11 - Identified through online information from Stephen Hall. -- Organ enlarged by Guzowski & Steppe in 1991. -Database Manager

2014-02-20 - Updated through online information from Douglas H. Cable. -- This is the original stop list as installed in 1963. According to Church members the new organ was installed after the old instrument fell over the night before Sunday services due to termites. There were pipes and parts all over the Chancel. -Database Manager
