Notes
2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1977 -Database Manager
2004-10-30 - Restored Lurth 1977. 9/93 form. [This opus number on the Hook list for State Inst. for the Blind, Austin, TX (2-20s). The Pilcher ledger indicates that Pilcher installed a used H & H from the Institute for the Blind, Austin, TX at Bethlehem Evangelical, 6th & Hill, Louisville, KY in 1918. Where did Lurth get this instrument? Directly from Austin? Or via several moves?] -Database Manager
2017-09-22 - Updated by Matt Arnold, who has heard or played the organ. The organ is in good working condition. -Database Manager
2021-09-02 - The 'History' page of the parish website states, *"The interior was completed in 1930 with the addition also of a Church hall and kitchen. The following year saw the addition of a bell tower, a gift of Mrs. John Dwan. Also that year, a Hook and Hastings pipe organ was donated by Mr. Martin Muth, a parishioner."* -Jim Stettner
