Note: This stoplist is derived from a letter from the church listing the stops it wished to reuse in a new three manual instrument. (That did not happen.) While it appears that the plan was to reuse all existing stops, the letter does not specifically state that the above stoplist is absolutely complete.  The organ was replaced with Schantz Organ Company #0484 in 1961 (OHS #48378).
