Notes

2016-01-06 - The organ was hand pumped by members of the congregation until a later time when an electric blower was installed. The congregation purchased a Wicks Pipe Organ in 1951. Eventually the church's name was changed to Gethsemane Lutheran Church. The congregation relocated to a new location in 1963. (information supplied by T. Bradford Willis and George Nelson). -Database Manager
