Notes

2008-10-14 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was installed in a chamber on the front, left side of the nave. The keydesk was on the nave side - not the chancel side. The 3-sectional facade contained 23 gold-painted pipes arranged: 7-9-7. The organ was roughly a 2-11. In 1959, the Verlinden Organ Co. of Milwaukie, WI built a "new" organ utilizing the pipes of the Felgemaker with additions - all on new chests.
