Notes
2012-05-11 - Identified through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- In The Diapason, Volume 103, No. 5 [May 2012], pp. 24-25, Donald R. Traser reports that the organ was converted to electro-pnuematic action in 1964, and the console replaced, but that the organ remains in what is probably original tonal condition. Chimes were added at the church Centennial in 1954. -Database Manager
