2014-08-27 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by James R. Stettner, using information from this web site: http://www.nclutheran.org/congregations/documents/history-disaffiliated/Organ,%20Salisbury.pdf. -- This instrument was built for the original log church. According to the history of the parish published online by the North Carolina Synod of the ELCA, "Prior to 1786 Johannes Stigerwalt built a pipe organ into the log church that preceded the stone church, the very first such instrument in the south. Having an organ caused Zion Church to be commonly called "The Organ Church�, and was so labeled on a deed dated 1786. When the stone church was completed in 1794 the organ was moved into the gallery facing the high wine stem pulpit, and was used for about 100 years." -Database Manager
