2011-06-15 - Identified through on-line information from Ronald Crowl. -- The organ was originally donated in 1907 by Mr. C.J. Alexander in memory of his wife, Hannah C. (Chain) Alexander. The original Alexander house, which still stands, is directly across the street from the church. It is faced with red brick veneer, installed at the same time the church was remodeled and veneered, in 1907 - when the new organ was installed. The original water motor, built by the Bushnell Water Works and Pump Co., is still exant, although a Kinetic blower was installed in the 1920s. -Database Manager
