Notes

2004-10-30 - Destroyed by fire 1975. -Database Manager

2009-08-01 - Updated through online information from Samuel Libra. -- Organ student at nearby Luther College. I practice on the organ semi-frequently when in town. The instrument is in perfectly good shape, and I am completely unaware of any reason as to why the page previously indicated that it was destroyed. -Database Manager

2010-05-30 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2011-03-18 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The church was damaged by an arson fire on July 30, 1975; evidently the organ was cleaned and/or repaired and is still in use. -Database Manager
