2013-05-23 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by John Speller, using information found in Information from Pictorial and Biographical Memoirs of Elkhart and St. Joseph Counties, Indiana (1893) p. 286, where there is a partial list of Louis Van H. Dinter-s organs.. -- The church was built in 1872. The above source states that Louis H. Van Dinter built organs in Detroit, Michigan from 1870 to 1877 before moving to Mishawaka, Indiana, and this period would appear to correspond with when this organ was built. -Database Manager
2018-03-23 - Updated by William M. Worden, who gave this as the source of the information: I know this building and the present organ.<br> The Van Dinter would have been installed in the parish's frame first church, which was replaced in 1885 by a much larger brick church. Whether the organ moved to the new church is unknown. The present organ is a much mistreated electrified tracker installed sometime in the 1950s or 1960s. -Database Manager
