Notes

2016-08-16 - Was originally St. John's United Evangelical Church; became St. John's Evangelical in 1922 and St. John's Evangelical United Brethren in 1946; rebuilt by Moller in 1953 as Op. R-473; relocated to new sanctuary in 1966 as Moller Op. R-737; the original contract was to be for rebuilding with tonal changes and relocation, but that contract was cancelled and R-737 merely became a contract for relocation to the new sanctuary; became St. John's United Methodist Church in 1968; merged in 2004 to become St. John's Newberry United Methodist Church. -Database Manager
