2015-11-29 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Andrew A. Clark, based on personal knowledge of the organ.<br><br>This instrument has been "revised" over the years since its installation. This instrument replaced the church's first pipe organ which was destroyed in a fire. Currently the organ is not playable due to faulty electrical wiring in the instrument and for safety reasons the power has been shut off to the organ.<br><br>Hopefully this organ can be repaired and much needed restoration done to it at a future date. -Database Manager
2015-12-13 - Updated through online information from Andrew A. Clark. -Database Manager
2016-09-27 - Updated through online information from Andrew A. Clark. <br>The power has been turned back on to the organ and is getting played occasionally. It still needs to be repaired but the church can't afford to get it repaired. -Database Manager
2018-08-03 - Updated by Andrew A. Clark, who maintains the organ.<br>\r\nAs of 7/31/18 this organ has received a thorough cleaning and repairs by Fowler-Hebert Organ Company of Lansing Michigan. -Database Manager
