2016-09-03 - Updated through online information from William Dunklin. <br>A history of the congregation was published in 1950 and is available on-line. A single sentence refers to the organ: "On May 27, 1917 a new pipe organ, which cost $3,059 was dedicated." -Database Manager
2021-11-11 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- I made an inquiry to the church in 2017 via their Facebook page. In their reply they stated, *"I checked with our History Committee, and they shared the following: It is a Wangerin Organ. It was modified by United Organ Company ca: 1960 and again in 1988."* Parishioner Roslie Huntington added, *"And you are all aware that the Wangerin organ is no longer in use (nor the pipes). There is now an electric organ being used."* She indicated in 2021 it had been replaced 10-15 years ago.
The church Facebook page for October 31, 2020 shows 8 photos of destroyed organ components strewn across the lawn of the church. -Jim Stettner
