Notes

2014-07-28 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by David Bohn, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- Church merged in 1999, building no longer used for services. -Database Manager

2014-08-04 - Updated through online information from David Bohn. -- Echo division removed in mid-1960's, in anticipation of enlargement to provide a 2 manual and pedal chancel organ. Contract for chancel organ cancelled, pipework later dispersed. Swell Vox Humana removed at same time. -Database Manager

2024-12-15 - Udated through online information from Zach Jones (December 13, 2024): I work for the parish family that runs the school here. The organ and building therein are gone. Construction phase of the demolition began in November of 2024. A new school building is set to be built using much of the liturgical elements from the old church. -Jim Stettner
