Notes

2016-10-04 - Organ relocated without any change. Identified by Josh Sellner, based on personal knowledge of the organ. <br>Relocated from St. Paul Lutheran Church in Argo Township (rural White) South Dakota. Howard Nolte, owner of Ulm Orgelwerke, completed the relocation in May, 1972 at a cost of $1,200. The pastor of Our Savior's at the time decided that the time had come for the St. Paul's congregation to merge with Our Savior's because of better modes of transportation and better roads. (Information from Our Savior's pastor, Sept. 2016) -Database Manager

2016-12-05 - Updated through online information from Josh Sellner. I supervised the disassembly and removal of this organ from Our Savior's on October 14, 2016. The church decided they needed a larger instrument with two manuals, and purchased an electronic instrument to replace it. It was given to St. Mary, Help of Christians Catholic School in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, where I am employed. It is our intention to install the organ in the school to use for organ lessons and choral rehearsals. -Database Manager
