2010-04-30 - Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- This organ was installed after the church rebuilt their sanctuary following a 1967 tornado. The congregation held its last service on September 9, 2001. The building was sold to another congregation, and the organ was placed in storage. -Database Manager

2010-07-28 - Updated through on-line information from Richard Helderop. -- Helderop Pipe Organs removed the Schantz organ in the fall of 2001. The UCC conference was hoping to use it in another church, however, this did not happen. The instrument is being renovated keeping all pipe work original. The console is now electric action but still drawknob. -Database Manager
