2015-01-09 - This is a new organ that reuses older pipework. Identified by Shawn P. Keith, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- The American Supply instrument uses pipework and a couple bass offsets from the previous instrument of unknown provenance. It was provided with new main chests by Roscoe Wheeler (probably built by Organ Supply Industries) in 1987, and the console was converted to solid-state control by Roscoe Wheeler in 2000. No known tonal alterations were made at this time. -Database Manager

2024-09-25 - The former organ at this church was a 1911 2 manual 13 rank Hinners Tracker. It's possible that some pipes from that instrument were used in the present. -Andrew A Clark
