Notes

2009-10-20 - Identified through online information from Will Dunklin. -- This organ was moved to the Harrell Theatre, Collierville, Tennessee, around 1990. I do not know if it is still there as the installation was very poor. St. Paul UMC closed. There is a new congregation in the Arlington/Lakeland area that now has the name St. Paul UMC, but is not related to this installation. -Database Manager
