2015-11-08 - Updated through online information from Benjamin Phillips. -Database Manager
2021-12-12 - Photos on church Facebook page show that this instrument was destroyed in severe tornado that hit Mayfield on December 10, 2021. A large portion of the sanctuary was also destroyed. -Timothy E. Conyers
2022-01-23 - Updated through online information from Michael D. Bergeron. -- The church and the organ are in pieces. Maybe there are enough bits for the Moller to do an install/repair in another church but its doubtful. -Michael D. Bergeron
2022-02-24 - According to the organist, the organ was bulldozed with the building the week of February 14, 2022; it would have apparently been too dangerous for anyone to go in to remove what remained of the organ. -Jeff Scofield
